Welcome to CB, we're actually just over a year old ourselves although I've been around the net for some eight years now. We're glad to have you, and you should have no problem finding some friends and some fellowship here.

This kinda puts things in perspective now doesn't it?

Does correlation always equal causation? No, there are other factors that affect birth rate tremendously such as lack of money due from lack of jobs, and cannot finacially support another member in the family. However, that's putting aside the detail that there is almost an exact correlation...

The Hebrew is 'adam which means mankind, meaning all of the races by extension because mankind is made up of races as we see them today. There is no other location in the Bible where it says that God created the races. A lot of people mention the Tower of Babel episode, but it merely says that...

You're completely missing what I am saying here. There's nothing illogical about God. However, you cannot reason with these logical types because they're looking for answers on a level where they will not find them. I did not make the statement to mean that believing in God is illogical. I did...

Manuscripts in this sense are of the canonized books of the NT. This is a pretty good listing of a lot of the materials that have been found that contain the various books of the NT.

To clarify, what I meant was that God accepts truth from whatever the source... even if it is mixed in with falsehoods and superstitions. Tell me, if someone gave you a book on how to be a stand up comedian... would you keep the book even if you didn't agree with a few chapters but the rest of...

I've heard an even simpler argument that I have to say makes a lot of sense. It gets down to what John said above: If I believe in God, and I am wrong, so what? If I don't believe in God, and I am wrong, that leaves me in trouble to say the least. When it all boils down to it, you cannot...

This new age, all religions have it right concept is nothing new under the sun. I hate to tell you, but your Urantia book is just one in a long line of such works. There are several religions of the world that maintain similar positions. Everyone likes a flowery version of reality. There have...

Well, I don't yet have a family (coming someday) but I am familiar with the apartment experience. I'd have to say that I can see the positives as far as (given the right location) more interaction with other kids. I suppose the only shortcomings may be the noise factor and lack of space...

Somewhat very conservative - that's a first I've heard. You'll probably find a friend or two here. I'm a conservative myself because I believe it more falls in line with what the Bible teaches. I'm pretty much a frustrated political forumer because things get so rough out there sometimes and...

The thing is, people tried. I don't know how many people said they made efforts to talk to him, he was given professional help, and he had people around him that tried to get him help. I'm afraid there is just a point where we can no longer provide help for someone of this nature. A line has to...

Welcome to Christianity Board - we try to be family oriented.

There's a lot of information out there - just a friendly warning to practice discretion when getting into the lost books out there.Welcome to CB!

I wouldn't say universal by any stretch of the imagination. There are scholars out there that believe Paul wrote them. As for why...so called higher critics have come around and they approach the Bible from a completely "logical" and "scientific" way of thinking. They say that this does not...

God doesn't like murderers. In fact, we're explicitly commanded to send them on to him when the time comes and witnesses can properly verify that this person indeed committed the murder. Numbers 35:316-19And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the...

All three, I Timothy, II Timothy, and Titus, are letters of Paul. So called higher critics would have you think otherwise, but these are the letters of Paul. There is nothing to be wary of in any book that is canonized in the Bible.

Your theology has it to where death was already present before the fall of man. Actually writer, your theology has the bigger problem. Another name for Satan is Death: Revelation 6:8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And...

Moved to the proper forum. The reasoning behind this is two fold: 1. I look at them as areas that overlap. The apologetic issues generally deal with more common themes that newer Christians deal with. 2. Altlthough growth and traffic has been tremendous over the past year+ that we have been...

Well I'm willing to talk about it. I don't like to share reasonings for banning people in most circumstances unless it affects the community - ie: someone lieing etc. However, threads are a different matter. There's no worries on bringing it up, but I would like to be clear about the reason if...
