Abrahams wife Sarah was actually his half sister

i was surprised to read in chapter 20 that sarah was in fact abrahams half sister.

Help: biblical person raised by non-believers, became man of God?
by Awakened07 inok - this is something that is waaaay back there in my post-jw mind: i seem to remember that enoch lived among non-believers, and was alone in believing.
but when i do a search, there's nothing of that sort in the bible.
then of course there's job, and for that matter moses, who were both men of god in spite of growing up (and/or at least living) among non-believers.. but i know i'm not thinking of those two.

Iraq in the Bible, America in the Koran?
by gaiagirl inat the moment we all have our own ideas about the country called iraq, a friend of mine recently sent me an email with a list that surprised me- since i am not familiar with the modern names of many of the places mentioned in the torah, koran, and hebrew scriptures of the bible.
1. the garden of eden was in iraq 2. mesopotamia, which is now iraq, was the cradle of civilization!
3. noah built the ark in iraq 4. the tower of babel was in iraq 5. abraham was from ur, which is in southern iraq !

HELP!!!! Who can help me?
by Justahuman24 infor some reason, i can't "quote" someone the way most people do with the yellow box thingy.
every time i hit reply, there's no 'ghost' icon on my view page.
the only icons i see are the following: none, the light bulb, the paper, the thumb down, the thumb up, the white x on the red circle, the black exclamation mark on the yellow triangle, the blue i on the white comment thing, the blue question mark on the white comment thing, the white question mark on a green circle, and the white i on the blue circle..

I just can't shake this feeling about the word Jehovah, and Now I know why
by A-Team inhad to do a little historic research to find out that jehovah is actually 2 hebrew words compounded: yah(h) and hovah.
yah(h) means: "i exist," "i am," "i create," or "i will be or bring into being.
hovah means: ruin, mischif, but yet,it's root, havvah,translates as: "calamity, iniquity, mischief, mischievous (thing), naughtiness, naughty, noisome, perverse thing, substance, very wickedness.

Mother Teresa doubted God's existence during her last years
by Gregor inher personal diarys and letters have revealed she doubted gods reality and this in turn caused her to ask herself "is jesus true?
" she no longer prayed right up until her death.
in my opinion this in no way detracts from her being a wonderful, self sacrificing woman.
