Is the hardest part to arguing or trying to convince someone else of your beliefs? I am trying to start a website to help out because I myself am really good at using the information I know...but what would you all say is the most difficult part in talking to a theist?

"He whose testicles are crushed or whose male member is cut off shall not enter the assembly of the Lord."
..........Deuteronomy 23:1

Millions and millions of christians believe in a literal interpretation of the bible - so are they all wrong?

My sister-in-law sets a chair for her hound to sit and join us for dinner. How rude! I've left the table but, haven't said anything. Others don't like it but, stay and eat.

Atheists say that there is no such thing as a God !
But can they answer these doubts or questions ? For everything there is a starting point ! And therefore this existence had a starting point ! But what was before that point ? If you say nothing, Can something be created from nothing ?
If you say yes, you are out of your minds !

What was the force that brought up existence from nothing ?From where did that force come ? Whether you believe in the Big Bang or any other theory, what brought that force to existence ?

For any cause there should be other another causes, but these causes should end at a point, infinite number of causes is not valid and nothing in existence has infinite causes, it is like adding infinite number of zeros together and yet it totals zero ! And zero is not a valid answer because zero = nothing, and nothing has infinite number of causes ! But when adding one (the end point stopping infinite causes)we get answer!

So are there valid answers to my doubts

Yesterday, I wished numerous people a Merry Christmas in response to their saying "Happy Holidays" Yesterday was Christmas Eve and this greeting was appropriate. I got incredulous looks from most.

someone explained to me that we must encompass all the religions that have holidays during this season. Even the Muslims have the Ead next Saturday. I promised to come back to wish these Muslims a happy Ead wnen it is their holiday, but now it is Christmas. Was my action criminal?

The Gift

A king was born.

Wise men brought him gifts of incense, myrrh, and gold. People flocked to see him for this was the one written about. This was the one whos glory was seen in the heavens, which the angels proclaimed.

The gifts would see him through his time from birth till his work began, which was set aside from the beginning by his Father. These gifts fit for a King.

Rarely did people bring him gifts after that, especially those a King would approve of. For would a king accept just any gifts? People treated him with contempt by offering unto him lambs which had defects, gold stolen from his Father, incense dedicated to gods. Not many times was he ever pleased with these gifts he received for most were done in vain.

The gifts he received at birth for they were ordained by his Father since before the beginning of time. The people gave him gifts that would make any other king furious yet this king's grace was beyond the other kings abilities.

When his personal kingship had neared its end a woman who new this grace opened an alabaster jar and poured it on him for she knew his buriel would soon take place. As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. His disciples were more like court jesters for they had not yet received wisdom from on high. They mocked her aand even as so much as to say "Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, "Why this waste of perfume? It could have been sold for more than a year's wages and the money given to the poor." And they rebuked her harshly.

The King said "She has done a beautiful thing to me. What she has done will also be told, in memory of her." For the burial preparations of this King this was an acceptable gift just like the incense, myrrh, and gold the Wise men had done 33years ago. This woman, who had been an adulterous woman, did what was wise for this King. Hers was an acceptable gift. She knew his grace and loved him deeply for it.

Now before this King died he gave some distinct orders that were to be carried out by all who claimed to acknowledge him as King even in his death.

The King, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."

Feasts, festivals and holidays all look good to man but with "understanding," obedience to this King was what he wanted from those who would desire to remember him in a worthy manner or give a gift worthy of this King. Celebrating his birth, death and ressurection in this manner.

The other gifts were good intentions but the latter gift was what he acknowledged. No other gift would fulfill the requirements he had laid out.

Please take the time to listen to this.

New Scientific Evidence for the Existence of God

A Seminal Presentation by Astrophysicist Dr. Hugh Ross, given in South Barrington, Illinois, April 16, 1994



Editor's note: This lecture was selected not in spite of being more than 10 years old, but because it is more than 10 years old. Virtually every statement and inference given in this speech has been reinforced and further validated during the last decade by measurements from the COBE Satellite, the Hubble Telescope, and advances in physics and astronomy.

The hallmark of a truly reliable scientific theory is that it is thoroughly testable, scientifically falsifiable, and makes accurate predictions. Dr. Ross's origins model has stood the test of time for nearly two decades, literally receiving further validation on a monthly basis as physics and astronomy journals publish new papers. http://www.cosmicfingerprints.com/audio/newevidence.htm
