1) Teach all our children to hate homosexuals.
2) Come up with statistics about homosexuals that fit heterosexuals too, just forget to mention the heterosexual part.
3) Stop homosexuals from having any sign of a normal life.
4) Obtain the same status as Hitler. Only say we are doing it in God's name.


can you think of any more?

I have only recently begun noticing this phenomenon and I'm not super-religious. Is there some kind of Bible story that would help me to understand? I was just wondering.

We need to step back and ask ourselves why preaching the doctrine of tithing isn't working ?
Why do so few Christians tithe in spite of the endless haranguing to do so ?

Churches and ministries do need money and they would have more than they have now if everyone tithed, but tithing is not God's solution for the problem!

The Barna Research Group's nationwide survey of donotions indicates that only 14% of born-again Christians in the continental United States gave at least ten percent of their income in 2001. Instead of beating our head against the wall, we should see if our theology is in agreement with the word of God.

Dominion is defined as : Control or the exercise of control; sovereignty.

It is maybe true man has the ability to destroy or in animals put in cages, etc. Yes, mankind does domesticate animals, but that is far short of dominion. Who is the man who can by command control a hungry lion in the wild or stop a charging elephant by just convincving the elephant that he is subject to man or mankind Likewise which man is able to tell a tree to grow 6 feet this year and 3 feet next year?

Is it possible that too many Bible teachers are not truly giving much thought to what they teach?

I arranged with 5 other girlfriends to go to a recent theatre show, as I was the one arranging it I agreed to purchase all the tickets at one time (after everyone had said they were going), as most of my friends work, which makes it harder for them to get in during the day. The day that we were due to go, one friend rang in the morning and cancelled, the other I rang early afternoon to see what time she would get to my house, and she told me she wasn't going. The tickets cost $60 each, neither of the women have said anything about reimbursing me for their tickets. Should I ask for the money? I feel they should pay, as they knew well ahead of time that I was paying for them, and neither cancelled due to an emergency, it was simply because they had "made other plans".

Many scientist claim that birds evolved from dinosaurs. But there's lots of problems with that theory. a lot of things have got to change, the nervous system, the circulartory system, the brain has to develop to handle flight. First, in the transition, you would have an animal whose front legs are part legs and part wing. It wouldn't be able to walk or fly. Bird lungs are totally different than reptile lungs. Birds are found in layers with and lower than dinosaurs, they were together at the same time. Scales and feathers come from different genes. Birds have a 4 chambered heart, most reptiles have a 3 chambered heart. Reptiles lay a leathery egg, birds have a hard shell egg.
The problem with reptile to bird evolution: "The evolutionary orgin of birds is largely a matter of deduction. There is NO FOSSIL EVIDENCE of the stages through which the remarkable change from reptile to bird was acheived".

what good is it to be God if there is no one to acknowledge His existence? dinosaurs didn't work. they spent their time eating each other. i think God needed a creature that would communicate. i believe that if a person doesn't believe in God, then there will be no God for that person. wandering stars is what they will be. never having a home or peace of mind. always wondering what could have been, for eternity.
for you atheists, give it your best shot.

The bible says. Confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved. The Lord wants us just to believe and obey his commands. His love is unconditional. You can be a drug addict or a millionaire. He loves you just as you are. He has no conditons to be meet. He just wants you to repeat these words and believe in your heart and you will be saved. That is ALL!!!!!

I mean if Christ is working through each of you, why do you all disagree with each other and continue to sin?

Is it rude for someone to show up at your house uninvited?
What if you have never invited that person to your house or told them where you live?
And yes they have your phone number!

in a question i asked earlier today, that stated my athiestic views, someone said:
You belong to this category :

Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
not enough characters for last line
why would he post this. i am not that description in any way and i dont think his god would approve

Will you go to hell if you commit suicide? The only unpardonable sin is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, and that makes it confusing.
