    Why Must There Be One TRUE Religion? Why Is It Christianity?

    If there is one God, then there has to be one version that is true based on God's version reality. Because we are imperfect we deviate from the truth. We are the weak link in the chain. Any version that is translated through us must be flawed to an extent.All religions are tainted by humans...

    Can an evolutionist also be a Christian?

    You can be a Christian and believe in evolution. The Bible does not say that things were created in six literal earth days.Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of...

    What does it mean to acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God (1 John 4:15)?

    James 2: 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.Belief in God is not enough. James says that it has to be more than this. James says that faith without works is dead or worthless. James 2: 14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith...

    Is drinking (coffee, coke, beer, wine, alcohol) sin?

    I guess what disturbs me about this thread it the idea that we live by a list of "Thou shalt nots" which is wrong headed and leads to problems to my way of thinking.Jesus came to fulfill the law and in doing this he established a new covenatal relationship. Hebrews 8: 13By calling this covenant...

    Bill Gates calls for a revision of capitalism

    (Denver;32487) Private charity is a wonderful thing.However, it's very easy for someone with his money to sit there and say what he does. I think these people lose sense of reality once they reach this level. Business is business and it has never fully been about helping the people and never...

    A Soldier lashes out at politicians who back the war

    IUsing value laden terms such as chicken or hawk do not help. They hinder understanding because people get defensive.There is probably a full range of opinion in the military, but I think that all would like to see more of their families and to know that their tour of duty had an end to it...

    Ears To Hear

    We all have ears, but we don't all hear the same.Matthew 7:24 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not...
