(His By Grace;34027) Well, just to let you know, I did verify it before I commented on it. It is at snopes.com. As I said in my thread, he was raised by a stepfather who was a radical Muslim and his real dad was a Muslim. You can find that on several of the verification sites. I didn't say that...

(His By Grace;33882) I have been receiving e-mails that are very disturbing; particulary in regards to one of the candidates who has a Muslim background. Is anyone else fearful that he may be elected? Snopes has verified that he did not swear in for his senate position using the Bible, but the...

(His By Grace;33854) I don't teach it as Science, per say, but rather I say that Scientists say this is what they have researched and believe to be true. They believe there is evidence that the earth is billions of years old,etc. But, I do think it's okay to tell them that it may not line up...

(Siskim;33773) Allowing the students a choice to both hear and have opportunity to possess knowledge of both creation ideas. We think it's a little unfair to only put Evolution into a child's head without the Creator and His Truth, don't we? Afterall, kids are very trusting and tend to believe...

I think that atheists can definitely be moral. Most of the most important moral imperatives are not unique to any one religion, culture or belief set. All one needs to be moral is a basic concern for the wellbeing of others; almost every major moral belief, Christian or otherwise, simply falls...

(Atheist.85;33535) I am looking for proof of god, something that is tangibly and physically and without a doubt evident of some higher being. So far I've come up with nothing that isn't natural or explainable by science in some way, and I would venture to guess it will stay that way. You won't...

I have to recommend the Screwtape Letters as well. They're absolute fascinating, frequently very funny (although awfully dark at times as well, which is natural given the subject material) and contain plenty of C.S. Lewis' wonderful insights on Christianity and morality.

(kriss;33185) No thats not what Im saying all war is unjust to someone we should hate war what I am saying is that if God allows it we are not in a position to second guess him example: The war that brought about the holocaust was a horrible war men thought they were fighting for one reason but...

(kriss;33077) No the point is Only God decides these things he says he and he alone controls the nations and its leaders he will put hooks in their mouths (force their hand) So there has never been an unjust war? Every war ever has been preordained by God?This seems to say some disturbing things...

(thesuperjag;33029) Exodus 15:3 - The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.Jeremiah 21:4 - Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you...

(toddsumrall.com;32652) You my friend, God will allow you to continue being an Muslim right up to the time you perish. Yet he still offers you a space to repent while you breath, and call upon the resurrected Son of God. Er, he said he was an atheist, not a Muslim...Anyways, hello, Atheist.85...

I agree with Bernie. I do believe Hussein was evil and committed terrible acts, but Iraq simply isn't ready for a democracy, and no amount of military force can repair the damage that we've done there, or stop the inevitable sectarian violence that will emerge without a strong central...

Personally, I think that tattoos can be a form of artistic expression. I'm also of the camp that believes that the Mosaic law is no longer relevant, and even if it were it seems to me that God is referring specifically to pagan practices in that verse (why else would he need to end it with "I am...

(SpiritSoldier;32032) Now as for the Atheists I don't hold it against them I think they just need to be reasoned with. After all how can you say "God doesn't exist." and yet "hate his guts at the same time.?" sounds like a paradox to me. Again, I don't think this is what atheists believe. I...

(Leviathan;31952) oh yes of course. Its just a dissapointment that they wont even give god a chance. While I can't speak for all atheists, I think I can offer a bit of insight having been there and done that before finding Christ. One is that, while plenty of Christians are kind, considerate...

(blacksmith;27386) If nothing can be justified, why Christianity? Isn’t the answer loaded with rationality and empiricism, or is it arbitrary choice? I believe that Christianity is "justified" at the foundational level. It is an irrational choice that one must simply be moved to adopt. Now...

(tim_from_pa;27138) I will admit that one cannot actually prove what I stated is true, so skeptics will concoct their own (equally plausible) theory and try to prove the bible wrong. However, what I stated, if possible, offers a solution. Many fail to see that just because it cannot be proven...

(kriss;27122) The Word first was the Word as normal Tyrel you along with others including many religions will look to justify your own interpetations and make Gods Word fit their believes in stead of the other way around This is what has become lost in our society No one gets taught how to read...

(Pariah;27051) Hello all!I apologize for making statements that kriss, Jag, Denver, and others that believe in the serpent seed teaching, have their preceptions colored by the Books of Enochs. I have made those assumptions since the Books of Enochs stated plainly of "fallen angels mixing with...

(tim_from_pa;27038) The new way shows that the parenthetical passage is not included in the genealogy---- but a side mention. The word "which" after Joseph's name in the new quote would clearly refer to Jesus, not Joseph.Now let's take this one step further and eliminate the statement in the...
