    The Truth about Speaking Lies in Hypocrisy

    Even if he is referring to the gospels specifically, the biblical canon includes these. These a. re also considered to be inspired writings. I believe that the gospels are inspired, despite their also being a testimony from the deciples. This is due to my understanding of what inspiration...

    Explain how God can exist

    The best approach I thought to use was to pose Jesus' life as fulfillment of the prophesies in Isaiah 53 that were given seven centuries before he was born. As indisputable as you may think that argument could be, it fails to convince people. I'm convinced the best approach is to show...

    Why do the Repuclicans have such a hate on for universal healthcare in America?

    All that data proves is doctors make more in the US, and insurance companies are making a killing. I'm not a fan of for profit insurance either, as their profits depend on not paying out for care. Death panels are a real possibility, the British National Institute for Health and Clinical...

    Why do the Repuclicans have such a hate on for universal healthcare in America?

    In concept I would like UH, but in practicality it is a bureaucratic nightmare. 1. Potential loss of personal liberty. Death panels, & restrictions on unhealthy practices. 2. General government inefficiency due to a lack of economic structure. Currently you or your company can shop around...

    Suicide

    You know the teachings of the church. Suicide usually is the ultimate act of selfishness. I'm not able to speak for God, but I have serious doubts he would be able to forgive that because there is no opportunity to repent afterwards. Do you know how much God loves you? When I pray for you I...

    The push for vaccination.

    By using vaccines made from fetal tissue, doesn't that show an approval of using these unethical research methods? Being that big pharma is out to make a profit, what incentive do they have to change their methods or provide alternatives?

    The push for vaccination.

    In recent news there was a measles outbreak in Disney Land. Big brother now looks to impose mandatory vaccination upon the populous. There are many ethical considerations here, including most seriously, the use of stem cells from aborted babies to develop vaccines. Some may argue that it is...

    THE QUESTION NO ONE WANTS TO ASK

    The leadership of the church is the primary source of problems that I've seen. Christians expect too much from their pastor. There is supposed to be a whole leadership structure with the elders in charge. Of the few churches that still have elders fewer still are equipped with wisdom beyond...

    Gmail Alternative

    Don't server hosting companies usually have their own email? I would think you would be able to make a CYB email address.

    Round Trip or One Way?

    I was following along up till #3. The body + spirit = soul concept is good. However your assuming the process is reversible, so that when the spirit departs from the body the soul ceases to exist. This would mean that one who kills the body would also be killing the soul, but this is contrary...

    So you married a person who is gay.......

    Aspen, I'm sorry this has happened to you. I think the best thing I can offer are prayers on your behalf rather than advice.

    My favorite Bible verses and story of 2 martyrs..

    My favorite bible verses are the ones that reveal the nature of God, and simultaneously humble our worldly understanding. (John 8:58; John 11:25; Revelation 13:8) I like some other scriptures here due to my experiences with many false prophets in recent years. There is great danger in the...

    Did jesus claim to be the devil?

    You can see the distinction between the two with the word bright describing Jesus. There are many times in the gospels where Jesus talks about the devil, and they are enemys. 'Morning' may be reference to both of them being present at the beginning of the world. .

    How Can One Be Born Again

    When Jesus said "the kingdom of Heaven is in us," I think he was referring to the secret place in the heart where the Lord dwells, and we can find refuge with him there.

    The Jehovah Witness Christmas

    Are you actually insulted by a video where the characters just sit quietly? Your response has been more educational than the video itself.

    Why can these Bible teachings and commands be ignored while others can not?

    First you experience a series of rebukes. Then you respond not by thanking these Christian's for their honest opinions, but for their love. Then you give scriptures that condemn hatred. Obviously you do not appreciate being rebuked and were being sarcastic. I would like to completely break...
