Why do you have to blindly accept FIRST and then get indoctrinated to believe in the bible is the 100% inerrant word of God?

Why can't you not just read and study it with a rational mind and using your God given intellect and discernment see the evidence for yourself, then decide to join?

Why is some kind of emotionally charged experience and surrender needed?

I am asking because in response to a question I had about the inerrancy of the bible here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmsPJ3jZcEm.kDyrnZYT0Fvd7BR.;_ylv=3?qid=20071108083806AAnjB2t

a person called preacherswife responded:

"....you must first become a Child of God until this happens the Bible will always be a mystery to you but if you would only read Roman 10:9-13 and do what it says in these verses then you will be surprised at how much you can understand and realize that the Bible (KJV) is Truly the Word of God."

But why would I just "accept" something without examining it first?

It sounds as though many lifestyle options that are becoming popular - telecommuting, homeschooling, and other options - lead to families spending more time together. Some have theorized that the industrial revolution, and the public schooling that came later, have caused problems for families. Once industry was taken out of the home and into factories, families were split up during the day. After that, children began to be sent to schools rather than learning at home. (There were always a few schools available to the very rich, but the majority of kids have always learned at home.)

What do these changes mean for families? Do you think that the number of people working from the home will continue to grow? How about the number of homeschoolers? Will our families be stronger because of this, or we will be more divided within society?

The Bible doesn't mention events occuring outsside a small region of the world we call the middle east or the holy land. Because the Bible makes no mention of God helping, guiding or working with people in any other part of the world do you think God simply ignored their suffering and their prayers?

I really want to be a zookeeper. I wish I could volunteer at a zoo but you either have to be older or sign up for summer camp, and I am not going to sign up. Is there any way to get the experience of what a zookeeper does?
PS. Do you know of any good zookeeeper websites?

I've heard the words "subjective" and "objective" flung around a lot lately, but people don't really know what they mean. Do you?

A "subjective" truth is based on the subject involved.
Example: "The Beatles are great" is a subjective truth to me because I like them. But, you may not, and that is true too.

An "objective" truth is based on the object involved.
Example: "A 'foot' is 12 inches long" is an objective truth. Whether you believe it or not does not matter, because it is true.

This is an important oncept to grasp. Subjectivism has infected the minds of many people these days.

God is an objective truth. Whether or not you believe in God does not alter the fact that God exists.

My mom used to make a casserole with ground beef and baked beans and I have googled and looked in my cookbooks and cannot find it. Perhaps you would be kind and share your recipe with me. I remember most of it, but it's the spicing and the amount of spice where I'm at a loss. I know that I have forgotten some of the spices.

Here's what I remember:

Add 1 can of baked beans on botton of casserole.

Brown ground beef, add sauteed onion and green pepper. Then add dried mustard, vinegar, and brown sugar. Simmer for a few minutes and then cover baked beans with mixture.

Bake a 350

It's really quite good and men love it when the weather turns cold.

Many thanks!

Okay, first of all I have a Dr's appt tomorrow, but I just want to know your alls experience with this. Has anyone ever had several negative blood tests and urine tests at like 3-4 months? I think this is more common than anyone thinks. My doc sent me for a quantitative blood test a month ago (I would have been 13 weeks at the time) just to make sure after receiving negatives on 2 qualitative (yes or no) blood tests, that I wasn't pregnant. She wanted to check the #'s to see for sure. It was <1-negative. Is it possible to be 3 months and receive neg on a quant? I know it can happen on a qualitative, but a quant? Is this unheard of, or has anyone actually had this happen? I did have 2 more qualitatives @ 17 and 18 weeks after I could have conceived, but they were neg also!

I've read poll after poll showing that a majority of American voters would not vote for an atheist and I'd like to know why. Being an atheist does not mean that you're immoral or don't care about people. It doesn't make you more likely to kill or steal, anymore than being religious makes you less likely to do so. It just means that you aren't convinced that there is a god. The vast majority of atheists are highly educated, secular humanists who cherish and value of human life above all and subscribe to high standards of moral conduct. Why should that make a peson unworthy of holding public office just because they don't share a widespread belief in magic?

First she has NO experience to run a country.... Has never even run a business?

She wants to bring about socialism. That is bad for America and is NOT what this country was founded on, was it?

She wants big government to control the corporate world. She wants to force small business, the back bone of this country, to provide so much free service for employees that it would literally put them out of business. Can you afford a $7.00 basic hamburger from McDonalds?

She also has no free and independent thought. Did you catch her at the last debate? Even the other Dem candidates attacked her for her inability to answer a simple question about drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. Is this not a fear to you?

And so what does she do? Throws out the gender card! Whine... you’re picking on me because I am a woman! Doesn’t that see to be childish for a World Leader?
