Democracy is famously described as "two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for dinner". And when I see people use democracy to vote for themselves wealth confiscated for others, I can't help but think that democracy is a very evil thing. Historically, the best form of human government is a...

The invention of the printing press made it possible for common man to own their own copy of the Bible. It was never denied to people before, regardless of what you hear about the "evil Catholics" who conspired to deprive the vernacular of the holy Scriptures. Before the printing press, people...

The deep philosophical question here is, can God go back on his word, relenting to carry out the full sentence of punishment that man incurs? On this thread, I successfully made the case that He can and He has done so before.

I hope you're right. Madad21, you're missed!

There's no substitute for gratitude and contentment. Without it, all the blessings in life are never enough.

Welcome! Just a couple of observations, this site is no substitute for a regular home church, where the people you interact with aren't pixels on a computer screen. I encourage you to find a church because there's nothing like having to put up a church full of hypocrites and otherwise...

You finally gave away your gender after "not telling"? The other side of that argument is the fatally flawed notion that Christian can mean just about anything, and can apply to anyone regardless of what they actually believe and how their values run contrary to the righteousness of God. But...

Can you send him an email, let him know he's missed around here?

But of course you are. I'm taken aback because I've never experienced Christians ridiculing old people. And in fact, because Christians share the mind of Christ and his values, old people are very well esteemed, treasured even. In your case, I have to remind myself that you're a Leftist...

All of this true.

I'm beginning to like you already.

We have people on this forum claiming to be Christian who start thread after thread promoting the lies of evolution. I've already suggested that these threads be taken out of the mainstream. You'll notice we have a section for non Christian beliefs, so they don't sully sections dedicated to...

Seriously. I'm getting tired of the most valued members of this forum disappearing into the night. Not having Madad21 here would be a tremendous loss. Does anyone have any info on that?

I addressed this question more thoroughly in the thread: http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/19244-a-moral-framework-for-same-sex-unions/ Because I believe that even within the context of same sex unions, one cannot be expected to abandon all morality. Even gay people know that cheating on...

(secretly wishes his church sold java in the foyer to get a fix before going into service)......

Amazing how willingly some people are at displaying their unfamiliarity with Scripture. In fact, the transcendent effect of Christ's crucifixion upon all history, past, present, and future, is a central Catholic doctrine.

Nobody is predestined to eternity in hell. The cruel "god" of the Calvinists is not the God I know, love, and serve.

I come off as an old guy and you come off as a young twerp. I'm actually 39 years old. How old are you?

Now you're just playing games, by any objective (as in not yours) standard. I might not have gotten the exact nations right off the top of my head, by the link I provided proved my claim (other nations dominated by Islam) that proves majorities polled supporting death and violence for religious...

You need to speak louder. I can't hear you standing 100 feet away and I dare not risk approaching any closer.
