I saw in the paper today about a program that is gonna be on TV (in the States) next month. Its about animals in the womb, they have some AMAZING pictures. I cant wait until its aired in the UK. But the article went into how it will discuss why all mammal embryo's look very similar to human embryo's in the beginning (us being a mammal and all). And why dolphin embryos actually have leg buds that eventually disappear (it is thought that dolphins evolved from a land walking creature).
Does this tie in with the Creation story (I mean us all starting off very similar and dolphins having legs etc) or does this offend you as the idea of evolution does so many of you?

Just curious as to how those who dont believe in evolution would react to this program.

Heres a link to the article, its worth looking at just for the pictures, theyre incredible!

Bats are Birds(Lev. 11:13) ; a mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds and grows the greatest of all plants. (Matt. 13:31-32); turtles have voices(Song of Sol. 2:12); some four legged animals fly (Lev. 11:21); The Earth is fixed and unmoving(Joshua 10:12) and such a view was used to convict Galileo of heresy.

Clearly to anyone with any common sense these things and many, many more in the bible are errors big errors and clearly not just in translation, their meaning is clear, but wrong.

Why would anyone think that the Bible is with out error?
If the manual you used to fix your car with was so flawed your car would never get back on the road.

Does anyone still think the Bible is without flaws?
Stay on subject please and no cut and paste answers your own words please.

A friend of mine, a musician, is playing in Colorado. I'm coming all the way from London to see his show. I also plan to ski there but it's just to see him. I wanted to tell him in a sarcastic funny short way that I'll be there so that he knows and doesn't freak out when he sees me... This is just going to be a public short message, I won't be able to speak to him until I see him. I was thinking something like:

"Not that you care, but just so you won't freak out if you see me, I'll be coming to Colorado just to ski. NOT TO SEE YOU, just to ski because it doesn't snow here in Europe."
or...
"Can you believe I planned my ski holiday in the same place and time that you're playing? So, not that you care but just so you know, if the snow is not too powdery, I might just happen to see your show. ;) (Not that you care, but just so you know and won't freak out or anything if you see me)"

My husband is Muslim and preys 5 times a day to the east. He prays quietly, for about 15 minutes each time and has a beautiful soothing voice. Unfortunately the east is located right behind my PC in the dining room. The apt is very small so there’s no place else for my PC. His 2 adult sons have moved in with us they also pray there. They are much more extreme Muslims and their preying gets LOUD, SHRILL and can go on for over 30 minutes each at a time. The boys liken themselves to being young Imams (Like Ministers in Christianity for example) and from what I see they think they know more about Islam and are better Muslims than their FATHER! The problem: Though it’s a small apt do I have ANY rights here? I feel that if I ask that it be done elsewhere my marriage will be in jeopardy. Still, I’m sick of trying to drown out their annoying ramblings with my earphones. Why can’t they respect that I don’t always want to hear that?!

I had an idea that they altered photographs of models to make them appear more attractive but I didn't realize it was that extreme. What do you all think of this?

Ok. Some of you may have responded to my last question.

The athiest agitators act as if you know better because they can quote a bit of theology of congure up some plagurised criticism. But more often than not its an ignorant phrase like 'why should we believe god exists' or the statement 'gods not real'

When I asked why do they come here, it was not mean't to say 'this is only for the religious' but more 'What do you get out of coming to this forum?' A harmless question taken out of context by the agitators.

I myself have no religion but some spiritual beliefs. But I always respect those of others.

My point about global warming is this: To those who disregard a spiritual belief system, surely what is more important to you is what is happening now, so why are you trying to change people instead of the world?

The idiot who said 'I Cant stop global warming. What can one person do' Please do not reply. It showed your true shallowness as a human.

This is what a Muslim told me. So should I do all my sinning now, and really enjoy it before I convert? I don't mean bad sins, just fun ones. I am not too serious about converting, but if I have my cake and eat it now, I can convert when I'm really old and still be a very moral person, according to the forgiveness of Allah?

Jesus said in Mt 7:21 " Not everyone who says to me "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven "

Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, George Whitefield, Charles Finney and many others believe this also.....that it is possible for Christians to end up in hell .

Christians, what is your understanding on this ? Try to answer based on Biblical truths and not your opinion or what you think.

Explain Mt 7:21

UK legislation will be passed soon which forces churches to recognise gay couples and their union.

Should congregations be forced to accomodate against their wishes? Should gay people expect organisations that disaprove of their lifestyles or orientation to bend over backwards for them in this manner?

Are politicians fair or unfair to be pressing this issue?

Of those in the congregation that agree with the coming law and not the dictates of their denomination: should they be going to that church or forming their own with like minded people?

Who is right here?
