Matthew 11
11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

As my understanding those scriptures were written while John was still alive.
What does it means "And from the days of John the Baptist until now "

Question: I am not interesting why violence was in such beautiful place like heaven i am interesting what is "until now" when John supposedly should still be alive.

hi..there is a problem i have.
as an arab christain in the middle east I face alot of discrimination,
lots of muslims hate us and beleive that we are disloyal to the arab community , and its not very pleasant to hear the Imam
(Imam = priest ) call us infidels and (nassara) - which is similar to the "n-word" in america- using loudspeakers from the mosque.
they also see us as we have less honor because we dont force our women to wear their dress and let them wear european style dress.
if i moved to america or any westren society they will refer us as
terrors and backward.. what do you thing i should do ?

Agnostics believe God can neither be proved nor disproved, until that proof is found, shouldn't everyone be an Agnostic?

From a Christian, bible-following point of view, is it right to use birth control and pain killers? I mean, God says in Genesis that because Eve ate from the tree of knowledge, he will increase her pain during child birth, and yet she will still long for her husband. Does this mean that when we are using things like birth control and we take pain killers to ease the pain during labor, we are, in a way, trying to get around God's punishment for us? Or am I thinking too much? Is it Eve's punishment only?

1. God is omniscent, omnipresent, etc., basically, infinite and all-powerful. (generally accepted by most religions)

2. Man is not. (duh)

3. God is not revealed to man... man must have faith in his existence. (again, faith is a tenet of most religions)

4. Man has no quantifiable experience with something infinite and all-powerful (follows from #3 - he must rely on faith).

5. Man, as an imperfect and finite being with no quantifiable experience, expresses something infinite and perfect through religion. (follows from 1-4)

6. Therefore, organized religion is inherently flawed. (progression 1-5).

Questions: are there flaws in this logic? is there any form of religion that is not inherently flawed?

Like paul, I am imprisoned in my body of flesh. I am married and love my family very much. I don't drink, smoke or use drugs, but my circumstances (travelling a lot) have led to me to revert to immoral thoughts and behaviour. I flirt with women whenever I get the chance and go to extremes when chatting and communicating on the internet icluding BDSM and pornography. I am cuaght in a vicious trap and know not how to get out. Do any more of you have the same problem. Is there any remedy. I know Christ is the answer. But I have tried but failed so many times and I feel rotten to repent daily.

It is one of the names of one of my favorite soccer players, but not his first. Both he and his brother seem to have it along with two last names so I was wondering whether it's a last name or not and what the origin of it was. The player is Brazilian so is it Portuguese and if so is it a common name because I've never heard it before?

"You might help out by better explaining what you mean by "faith alone" (you seem to be one of the rare people who really understands this). Can you post a question or two that will help the Christians understand faith and the futility of trying to prove or find evidence for their belief in god? "

SURE! Faith, to Christians, "is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Faith is what we have, when we cant prove something to be right or wrong, to be there or not.

Often times, Christians tend to be asked for proof, and site faith. Faith is our PERSONAL proof, what we find to be true for our own reasons, and will not be proof to everyone. When someone asks for proof, the only argument we have is Faith. Faith alone is our personal proof.

Arguing proof to an atheist is pointless, we have none except our own personal faith and truth. And that is powerful to us. What do you think?

1)space "junk" deposits 14.3 million tons of dust on the moon per year. If the moon were 4.5 billion years old it should have 450 ft. of dust, yet astronauts found less than 3 inches! (=8000 years old) Moon's age =Earth's age
2)1/2 life of earth's magnetic field is 1400 years. Only 10,000 years ago..the earth would've been as strong as a NEUTRON star. For this reason the earth can't be older than 10,000 years.
3) Fossil fuels are contained in high pressures in the earth...study confirms that they couldn't be maintained in this state for more than 10,000 years w/out "leaking"
4)If the earth were "billions" of years old then the original great centrifugal force would have flattened the earth into a pancake!! (earth is losing speed at .0002 seconds per year)

my point is that young-earth creationists do have valid scientific arguments. Comments>>
