Since many fundamentalists tend to idealize the "early church", I'm curious as to how they think the Gospel was preached and the faith spread in those days, and how that contrasts with some of today's approaches.

Were the early evangelists contemptuous of others' beliefs, pronouncing them unsaved and hell-bound, or did they present and live out the Gospel in love for all created in the image of God?

Was a Jesus-and-me faith resulting from a personal born-again moment of greater importance than all believers being the body of Christ?

Was "soul-winning" in large numbers their main preoccupation, or discipling believers?

What was it about them, personally, that made what they had to offer -- the Gospel of Jesus Christ -- irresistable to so many (as evidenced by how quickly Christianity spread), though they had no complete New Testament to carry around and quote from? And does anyone exemplify that today?

I was just reading a book and there was a line that said " Age dosen't bring wisdom. My grandad said some lose their 'moral compass" as they get older." The person who said that line was a kid adressing a ruthless war lord. He going on about how young people are foolish and when he get's older he'll realize that there is no such thing as right and wrong. Good or evil. It's what you do and don't do. I kind of agree with Bosky. The name of the kid. As people get older they are corrupted by the world. Whether it be sex, money. power ect. So I kind of agree. . .

What do you think?

The name of the is JOHN CONSTANTINE HELLBALZER: SUBTERRANEAN

Good read!

I have a 4 month old son. My husband and I work separate shifts that we can take care of the baby. Well, my elderly parents live with us, and thus far, my mother has been watching the baby while my husband sleeps. He complains that it's hard for him to wake up to tend to the baby and then fall back asleep. He has a long commute to work, so my mother was willing to help, but I'm getting angry because it seems like he's just full of excuses. (He has time to go out with friends while I'm home taking care of the baby, tho.)
I blew up at him yesterday so now he's behaving, but saying he couldn't sleep and can't go to work today or else he'll have a car accident.
I suggested bringing the baby to his mother's on certain days, but am uncomfortable with the idea because that requires the baby to sleep over on the days my husband will be working. Why should I have to sacrifice time with my son because he can't fall asleep?
What should I do?

I have been working several times a week at the gym, mostly on the treadmill. I was walking for 45 minutes 4-5 times a week. I lost some weight initially after I started walking, but have stalled in my weightloss for the last few months.

To step up my workout, I started adding some jogging to my sessions on the treadmill. I am following a plan (given to me by a friend) were I walk for couple of minutes, then jog for a couple of minutes, then walk, then jog, and so on. Each week, I increase the amount of jogging I do relative to the amount of walking. The plan call for me to be jogging for the entire 45 minutes within 3 months.

What do you think of this plan? Am I better off just walking? Is working toward jogging the best use of my 45 minutes (other responsibilities make more time impossible)?

An integrated circuit or computer chip consists of a Si wafer with patterns of copper wires attached to the surface. During normal operation the chip may heat up and cause debonding of the Cu wires from the Si surface. This is because:




1. The Si expands more when it is heated

2. The Cu is an electrical conductor and Si is an insulator

3. The Si is a semiconductor

4. The Cu has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion

What would you prefer to fill their young and impressionable minds?:
atheism
evolution
safe sex
anti-christian hate
100% PC tolerance,multi-cultural (any religion is OK but christianity)
euthanasia is good
abortion is good
only the government and liberal leftist can decide what morals are.
capitalism bad
consitution a "living document" and needs changing (abolished).

No I believe children should be spared from the whole bloody lot until their old enough to form their own opinion and the question was aimed at all religion, not just the egotistical ones

Didn't you want to know the REAL reason why they were giving you an order, or forbidding you from doing something, rather than their simple reply of "because I said so?"

I don't know about you, but that used to drive me nuts.

Was it right of my mother to use that as a reason so often?

What's different about God?
