@quietthinker , nothing about evolution contradicts the Bible, unless your view of the Bible is "everything is completely literal, 6 days pop-out-of-no-where-there's-a-bird", Evolution is about the scientific *how* something occurred. Faith is about the *why* and majesty of Him. Us...

Mutation = new information, by definition.

The development of new genetics codes occurs when a previous code is mistranslated, resulting in novel codes being formed. These mutations are readily seen throughout nature, and is a central mechanism in evolution.

Good choice. May prayer & the Spirit fill your heart.

May you define what you mean by this "Mail with your Word program"? Going to disagree with you there, having done an extremely thorough study on the matter. But hey, you're entitled to think/believe whatever you wish.

I'm agreeing with DNB here:

Honestly, I"m not sure what you are asking about.

The answers to these questions will vary greatly throughout Christianity. It's going to depend on the beliefs on each of the following: 1) What does baptism mean/do? Is it washing away Adam's sins, your own sins, just a public display of devotion, etc. 2) What role does Church...

(My response here is in general, not having anything particular to do with Paul Christianson). Some people can be jerks, that's true of every group of humans. And it's very easy to stereotype, that's true for all humans. The challenge is to rise above those easy tenedicies of being a jerk and...

Of course not! His physical body came into being ~40 weeks before He was born of Mary. His spirit has always existed.

No worries in that regard :). Feel free to ask anything.

The Good News: that the Savior has come and remembered His people. He is Jesus Christ, the very Son of God, creator of this world. He was born of a virgin a humble baby, lived a perfect life, suffered, and died - so that we can be redeemed. Me- in my wretchedness - can be redeemed. Our sins...

Actually, I acknowledged and thanked Anthony when he did answer them. My efforts have been very much try to better understand what Calvinists believe and be respectful while I do so. The huge amount of flaming I have received for honestly seeking to understand does not help.

The Holy Spirit's testimony works for me :)

I think i need to clarify something here: I am a lady of faith. However, I am a lady of faith because of testimony from the Holy Spirit. Not because of external things persuading me in that regard. In fact I will openly acknowledge that when looking at just the external things, I don't...

Completely unnecessary flaming in response to a late-night auto correct typo. For starters: I thank you for addressing my questions directly. As I said, my gaol here is to strive to understand you and what/how/why you believe as you do. And this response does illuminate things in that regard...

I thank you for your efforts here. It was a lot of time and thought put into your post. I am aware of that information , and many more facts too. And at the end, I stand by my comment about chucking things out the airlock.

Those seem to be fairly Armenian answers.

I feel like my questions aren’t goig to get answered.
