Why would any good protestant not want to do as God says.Argue and twist and turn, but when it is all done and washed up the ten commandments are still binding on men, the ONLY piece of scripture written by the finger of God. And people think He said somewhere, "opps shouldn't have written...

Why do you want it to be millions of years old ?I may possibly be right, but I seriously doubt it. It takes a lot more faith to believe in evolution that it takes to just take scripture as it is written without trying to construct a theory based on very, very flimsy text associations.There is...

Excellent essay Eternalarcadia.Why, why do professing Christians allow themselves to get sucked into the stupidity of evolutionary theories ???? I just don't understand why a practising Christian would go down that road one little bit.It is true that there is much we do not understand, but that...

Don't be intimidated, there are loads of good folk here who are keen Christians, no worries. Bible texts are very, very often interpreted to suit the view of the reader/Preacher/hearer. Nothing new about that.There is a guy on TV, one of these TV preacher types from the USA, asks for money...

Well, I really don't know how to state it more clearly, treeoflife. Perhaps most on this forum are more concerned with issues around masturbation if stats are any indication.Thanks for your reply tim-from-pa That goes some way toward an explanation.

Thanks for your reply, but you have not addressed the core of my questionThe substitutionary death of Christ. Where does that idea come from ?

I personally don't think so.It is inconsistent with His character I feel.Many of the words in the Bible have been translated using a meaning that the translators thought was the way it was at the time. Translators like all of us are influenced by their culture and the times they live in. In...

I would like some discussion regarding the free gift of salvation.Most Christians will readily tell you that salvation is free through Jesus Christ.Where do we get the idea of Christ paying the penalty of sin ?As I understand it, God (the Father) is not so easy to get along with. Someone had to...
