No I am not as I have never seen any evidence for this claim from surveys and research.

I am not surprised at all that the internet, christian magazines and general news is full of articles about people leaving the "church" on the basis of been there done that. I say the "church" advisedly as the church seems to be looking less like the church these days. It seems to have morphed...

Obviously the university did not think they were so I will go with them. How do you know the bible is a true story? You weren't there.

I think the best one of all is to eat as much as you like but don't swallow it. That way you are guaranteed to stay slim and healthy.

Reminds me of the saying that only a fool does the same thing all the time and expects a different outcome.

Eph 4:11-13 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge...

1 Corinthians 11 is a very interesting chapter. The word church is used twice and in both cases the Greek is ekklesia which means an assembly of Christians gathered for worship. There is no connotation of a building specifically for religious purposes. The many references to the church in the...

​They met in the temple because they were Jews, not because they were the church. They were given the name of "The Way." and they were considered a sect of Judaism.

I was sitting in my armchair (entertainment?) writing on my computer and it came to me to ask a question. Where does the christian stand regarding entertainment. By that I mean golf, fishing, TV, cinema, theatre, holidays, car meets, sport, reading, ice cream, restaurants, halloween, skiing...

Do you want the cold facts or just my opinion?

What I want to know is if the church did not meet in houses, why are there so many scriptures that say they did? Act_2:46 And continuing with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they shared food with gladness and simplicity of heart, Act_5:42 And every day in...

I am the boss in my house because my wife said so. Might be a bit cryptic for some.

I am autistic and I was going to make a comment on the thread “Love” and then decided that it might be a subject of discussion in itself so here goes. The church needs to hear this as if it fails to understand the mind of the autistic person, that person can be treated very badly and...

​I have noticed rightly or wrongly, that a lot of these sorts of discussions are at the level of what do you think? I have no problem with that but I cannot for the life of me understand how we can ever come to the knowledge of the truth unless we begin our deliberations with the word of God...

​It amazes me how the church demands support and fealty and then ignores the essentials of scripture in life and practice. I was attending a Baptist church (not any more) and in preparation for membership (which is not supported by scripture) I was given a booklet that set out what Baptists...

I don't know. It was one of the 15 that atheists can't answer.

I believe what I believe because God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that if I believed in him I would not perish but have everlasting life.

Let me tell you a true story. A student who was a christian at a secular university who was taking a course in biology, was confronted with evolution by her lecturer. Not to be outdone, she asked the lecturer one of the 15 questions. Now, if the question was ridiculous, you would think that a...

Go to the Creation Science website and you will find there 15 questions atheists can't answer. I have used several of them and sure as eggs are eggs, no one has been able to answer them.

No one said they did.
