Quote:I don't really see what your point is here. Like I said, getting to heaven was based on their faith in God, so obviously worshiping the sun and other Gods didn't get them to heaven. Same goes for Muslims, Jews, etc.Of course not, they went to the fields of Aaru, Duat, or they experienced a second death when their hearts were devoured by Ammit. No more ridiculous than most proposed afterlives.
Quote:When God made man, he gave them free will. They decided to sin. God did not make man sinful, man chose (because of free will) to sin.

Quote:P.S. The Word of God has been the same for over 2000 years. Scientists used to think that the earth was flat, the sun revolved around the earth, and many other things that are now proven to be wrong.Really? Because the Bible states the Earth is flat, the sun revolves around the Earth, and the moon is a light, among other absurdities:
Isaiah 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
Psalm 104:5 He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.
Job 9:6 He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble.
Isaiah 13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Ecclesiastes 1:5 The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.
Quote:There have been many different arguments about the bible's validity, but none of them have ever disproved it.
