to wonder why more Christians don't believe in...

[SillyBeardyDaddyman]

...unicorns?

"The mythical unicorn belongs to the land of Never Was, but the people of long ago didn't simply believe in the beast on faith. Historians think that the Vikings brought narwhal tusks back from their sea journeys. Traders peddled the tusk as a unicorn horn, believed to be an antidote to poison, and the wealthy fell for the ploy. Of course, no one had ever seen a unicorn. But it was mentioned in the Bible, so it would be heretical to say it didn't exist. And at one time, there was a belief that land animals had marine counterparts, so even if a tusked whale were found, it wouldn't disprove the existence of the unicorn."

Above quote taken from this link here

Pre king James bibles must have translated the relavant bible verses as Unicorns as well (as obviously Vikings were pre King James)

Verses that the King James translates as Unicorn the NIV opts for wild ox.....

So are Skittles, with their rainbow of fruit flavours, Unicorn poohs then SillyBeardyDaddyman ?

Sorry missf but Teletubbies are people in costumes, I used to live next door to po

Fox - I think that person's goal posts have moved - All the practising Christians I know wouldnt dream of sex before marriage.

Yes 70 I believe so :)

I am a practising Christian and I have had sex before marriage, in fact i am 'living in sin' with dp and have 2 dds. Part of the Christian faith that I have always felt very comfortable with is the fact that everybody sins and it is still possible to get into heaven even after committing those sins. Have you heard the part where Jesus said 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone'? I don't think I know a single Christian that waited til marriage.

And I believe in unicorns, fairies, dragons, werewolves, Santa, the Easter bunny, and anything else that brings magic and delight into the world.

Meant to add - I dont know any Christians who had sex before marriage and didnt regret it or feel guilty about it.

Never play leapfrog with a unicorn. If they turn sideways while you're mid-leap....well, let's just say "ouch".

this link has all the appropriate book/passage numbers so I don't have to type them out myself.

They've got dragons in the bible too...

Why are they called unicorns and not unihorns?

No, it's just a legend - Christians dont really believe it never got to get on cos it was the last one - they just believe for fun - like I do with fairies.

the corn rather than horn might refer to Cornucopia

(Vague recollection from helping DS google his Greek Mythology homework)

I'm loving the irony of the first response to the OP.

That's clever 70, never thought of that.

Maybe horn sounds too horny?

Naked Obama on a unicorn

I don't know why either...

That's Lee Evans that is, on the unicorn.

He's a sweaty bugger, bet the unicorn wishes it was wearing a waterproof rug

they also don't believe in waiting for sex until marriage anymore
load of tat. many Christians believe in no sex before marriage and wait for their life partners. but having accepted social norms before reaching Christian understanding is not a barrier to faith or its expression - so shag or not-shag, you can still be a Christian. but of course as you grow in faith you won't use sex harmfully.

why dont i believe in unicorns? i don't? erm... i haven't got an excuse for not believing in unicorns. possibly my reason is that there are no records of their existence, (the notoriously unreliable josephus etc) and no books about their activities and the impact it had on others (gospels and epistles) and around a billion people don't base their lives on the lives and teachings of unicorns. that might be it. but i don't rule out the possibility of their existence. unicorns may move in mysterious ways.

grammatical errors above. and i'm a teacher. ah well. no upper case either. frankly my dear...

I like the idea that unicorns move in mysterious ways. Like spies. Or crabs. Or Michael Jackson.

Because there is masses of evidence for Christianity but none for unicorns:

So you don't believe the bible?

I don't think the goal posts have moved. You are allowed to think for yourself!
It has always been a matter of interpretation.

I seem to have missed a page- I was replying way back to a post about sex before marriage and moving goal posts.
