No, nothing like that exists in the NT.

The right to the persuit of happiness................. Why don't people realize, that the same piece of paper that guarantees our rights to believe and do what we do as Christians, is the same piece of paper that protects everyone else. Gay marriage is protected by the constitution...

Well, I celebrate the 4th of July. I spend money on explosives and have a great time blowing things up. I celebrate thanksgiving. I stuff my face with food until I'm full, wait, then do it again a couple hours later. How many here that are against Christmas celebrate these 2 holidays? The way...

Funny how they still call Islam a religion of peace. They don't even see. If Islam didn't exist, neither would 90% of the war on this planet. Ah, well, people have been lying to themselves for thousands of years.

Forgiveness is not for the offender. Forgiveness is for the "victim". It's for our health that we forgive. It's for our peace that we forgive. The definition is simple, "To give up the WILL to punish". Spare the rod and spoil the child. This is true. But, people often don't understand...

Who told you Christians don't have those questions? Those are the best questions to have IMHO! Does God exist? Seek and you shall find. God want's us to seek him. If you have that question, you will search. I believe that God also wants us to test ourselves. You sound like a new believer...

Well said.

The idea of predestination,,, Some are predestined to go to the fire, some are predestined to go to heaven. This idea never came into play until Calvin. Early Christians didn't seem to take these verses the same way. Calvin introduced many heretic ideas that are now considered "gospel". Funny...

Funny this topic should come up. A buddy of mine posted something about dragons. There's a little lizard that has wings and resembles a dragon. Here's the link http://scienceblogs.com/sciencepunk/2010/02/real_life_dragon_discovered.php What makes this interesting are the legends about dragons...

I agree, dementia is real. Long term alcoholics do suffer from it. What I've noticed is people who sober up also seem to recover from dementia. I think some things still lack as the brain cells grow slower, and there's still the unaddressed chemical imbalance that was more than likely present...

That's debatable. Supposedly there's a "point of no return" a time when someone drinks enough they are irreparably damaged in the brain. I think that goes back to Seretonin, and general lack of good health. I don't know of any studies that involve the heavy drinker also eating healthy. Lack of...

Yes there are. You're right, maybe AA is the only thing that works for them.

I don't believe in Tithes. I dont' go to church, so, obv, no money to church. While I don't give as much as I think I should, I do give, when I see, or am moved to do so. I see no reason to just give my money to a church or an organization. Everyman should give according to what he has...

Neither. It's not a disease, although addiction itself does seem to have symptoms of what one would call disease. Being addicted isn't a sin, but rather a strong desire. Being drunk is a sin. Addiction is just a problem. I believe Alcoholism is caused by a "disease" and is not a disease...

I'm not in favor of the cult of the 12 steps aka AA. If AA worked, you wouldn't' have to "Keep comming back!". I also feel uncomfortable praying to Jesus while the guy next to me might be praying to the tree outside. I spoke with a man in AA. I said, when I'm drunk, I hate myself. I look in...

Did they not give an option to yell? Is there an option to do nothing? Were the 5 facing the train? The biggest problem with science is they have a control, a hypothesis and not enough variables.

Speaking as a former addict........ My screen name comes from the whites on my knuckles as I was gripped up on the steering wheel. I was fighting the urge to go to the liquor store about a month sober. LOL, I'm surprised i didn't rip that thing off! For one, I was neither spoiled or selfish. I...

I read something about this the other day. One way Atheists have disproved the Tower of Babel was through DNA. I can't remember the specifics. It entailed not being able to trace DNA of a group of people in Japan to one common ancestor. In theory, if the people from the Tower of Babel story were...

I dont' know how true this is, and I haven't researched it. I also don't know where I heard or read it. Supossedly atheists were purposefully hired to scribe the KJV. The idea being the scribes would have no desire to change any of the meanings of the words. The atheist scribes supposedly had...

Care to elaborate a little?
