(waynemlj;40069) Hi Kalixx, About evolution versus creationism . . . we can't have it both ways. Since we are Christians, God have given us the faith to believe that His Word is perfect, without error. And God says in genesis 1, 2, and 3, that He made every species to be its own kind and to...

(kriss;39714) As per usual men talk without truly understanding ..... Hmmmm....... perhaps me too ..thought about it, came and edited my post to say, (and as a male I guess I have the right ) that I think you're probably right....

(kriss;39613) I think you guys are being a little narrow mined here gluttony is not the unforgivable sin and being over weight is not a sin and there are many reasons and its not ours to judge I think there is only one unforgivable sin? But even if we agree that obesity is not in itself a sin, I...

Thankyou Kriss and Haanne.I guess I shouldn't really bring personal things to a discussion thread, but it just kind of "fell out" due to the context here. It seemed right because it underlines that when it comes to the issue of divorce we are not just playing with theoretical academic...

(kriss;39555) In Gods eyes if you allow a person to keep sinning by keeping quite or staying you have a part in their sin. I have to agree with you, Kriss, although it is ever so hard for me. My daughter left her partner for this very reason. She is dead now. He put a carving knife through her...

(DONNIE;39552) The #1 cause of obesity is shoving massive quantities of food down your throat. Yes there are other factors but overeating is #1. I agree, but even more important are the reasons why people do this. Animals generally don't. The main reasons for obesity are the reasons why people...

(kriss;39548) Well we have had several debates over this but as far as Im concerned God divorced Israel for her adulterous ways and will take a New Bride in the form of the churchDivorce for any reason is not the unforgivable sin so I see no problem with a person remarrying if they have repented...

(haanne;39519) According to scripture, If a man marries and he or his wife commit adultery ,than this is grounds for divorce. But what constitutes adultery? What if the Manwoman re-marry, does this make them and their new spouses adulterers? I heard a sermon on the subject and would love your...

(Pildit;39451) 1.) This one sort of is revised from the last topic - Apart from not going to hell, why should I believe? How will it better my life, me as a person, what difference will it make? Maybe it might be worth also considering what difference it might make to someone else's life if you...

I am not very good at political things, but I tend to feel that much of the present world situation gave whoever would have been the American President little space for alternatives. Power is a strange thing and the worst situation is a power vacuum. Whether the US likes it or not, the US has...

(Peacebewithyou;39515) It is quite clear that the aplostles were given the authority to forgive sins, through the power of the Holy Spirit. For you to suggest anything else is going beyond what is written. I have quotes from the early Church Fathers that support the Biblical view that the...

(Wakka;39511) How is that so? The only reason why you live above standard was because you and our forefathers were successful. It's not like having a job in the United States would starve someone from Cambodia. It might be me, but that statement was irrelevant. Well, two reasons at least...

Cute fella! But with feet pointing like those, doesn't he (she?) just go round in circles all day (kind of appropriate in some situations, maybe?).

It is amazing what an emotive topic the Sabbath is ! One problem for me with the Sat v. Sun debate is that if one is going to demand that Sat is the only viable day then whose Sat does one take? We live in a world divided into timezones, which means even those dedicated to Sat are actually...

Hi Remagoen I am impressed with your tenacity here . I also admire your frankness and single-mindedness. It speaks much of the sincerity behind your search. I would like to dig a little deeper into one of your last points: (Remagoen;39488) I don't want you killing me. You don't want me killing...

Hi Stlizzy! Yes, I also think that the argument here condenses down to the questions of what is nature of sin and what is the nature of the penalty for sin. If we are to take the 6 day creation literally then there is little reason to doubt the reality of Adam and Eve and the rest of the bible...

65 - top of "moderate" range - and the description of "moderate" feels right, too "The moderate hermeneutic might be seen as the voice of reason and open-mindedness. Moderates generally score between 53 to 65. Many are conservative on some issues and progressive on others. It intrigues that...

ALthough not specifically biblical, the bee and beehive do appear in Christian symbology (and in many other types of symbology too). The beehaive is often taken to represent the church and the bees are the congregation busily going about their work with rampant dedication. Their product, honey...

(Denver;38637) Some comments in this thread bother me a bit, but I don't think they were quite written for what they meant to expose. I would be interested to hear what in particular here bothers you. It is an important topic and I would value your insight.

(eternalarcadia;38679) http://www.carm.org/evidence.htm That is an incredibly useful link, eternalarcadia! I haven't seen that before, thankyou! One other point regarding literature about Jesus. Although the four Gospels were written within 40 yrs of Jesus' death, they were not canonised as part...
