Does anyone here take creationism seriously? It‘s is surprising in modern day people still believe that the earth was created in 6000 thousand years. Surprisingly, enough most Christian do believe in creationism theory. I shouldn’t even call it a theory no I should call it folktale.

I am looking for the entire “That’s my King” sermon by S.M. Lockridge from Moody Bible Institute’s Founder’s Day. I know this was from the 70’s or early 80’s but all I can seem to find are snippets available for downloading. If anyone knows where I can purchase the entire sermon PLEASE tell me! Thanks for your help :)

When you become a born again christian, do you lose certain parts of your memory? More specifically, the parts that have to do with the harm you caused others? Or is it that you feel completely forgiven so there is no need to revisit those things even if it would help a person you hurt to heal? I only ask because the person who molested me as a child is a born again christian and it seems they have no recolection of the things they did. They continue to send me letters telling me how much they love me and how much the Lord loves them! I would really like to know if this is a common occurance. Please help me to understand this better so I can quit taking it to heart and allowing it to hurt me! Thanks.

If your answer is "nothing", wouldn't the saying "Nobody is blinder than he who will not see" apply to you?

e.g. What would it mean to you IF Jesus' grave was discovered, with irrefutable evidence that he didn't go to Heaven as the Bible says?

The animals don't deserve it. It's torture. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there willing to be tested on for money. Instead of wasting an animals life, with all the technology we have today, can't we come up with a better way to test products?

I actually know the answer to this question but it appears to me that many people on here don't really know. So I decided to set the record straight. So do you think the Pope got rid of the idea of Purgatory or not and why.

If so what do you do to get through it? I’ve been this way for as long as I can remember. I don’t touch doors/handles, I don’t shake hands unless of course I can wash immediately, I take a salsa class and it took more than a month for me to warm up to partnering because I was afraid to touch their hands. I can do it now but I still take frequent trips to the men’s room. But I’ve never been phobic to the point of dysfunctional.

Lately however, I notice that I am getting more “concerned” if you will, about cleanliness in general.

This weekend I had a pretty bad experience. I was out with some people who didn’t know me all that well and they decided to visit a gentlemen’s club. I nearly passed out. I wouldn’t sit down or touch anything, I was doing well until one of the dancers approached me and started rubbing my back. I think I lost consciousness for a moment there. No offense to exotic dancers but I was praying for a tub filled with penicillin.

Whether homosexuality is considered a complete unrepentable sin because I disagree with that. I find the Catholic Church a bit too hierarchal and power obsessed so I'm looking for an alternative path.
Could anyone answer my question and give as much information as they can in simple words to explain the principles of Eastern Orthodox?

Thanks

"My long-time view about Christianity is that it represents an amalgam of two seemingly immiscible parts--the religion of Jesus and the religion of Paul. Thomas Jefferson attempted to excise the Pauline parts of the New Testament. There wasn't much left when he was done, but it was an inspiring document." (Letter to Ken Schei [author of Christianity Betrayed and An Atheists for Jesus]) - Carl Sagan

"Where possible Paul avoids quoting the teaching of Jesus, in fact even mentioning it. If we had to rely on Paul, we should not know that Jesus taught in parables, had delivered the sermon on the mount, and had taught His disciples the 'Our Father.' Even where they are specially relevant, Paul passes over the words of the Lord."-Albert Schweitzer

"Paul created a theology of which none but the vaguest warrants can be found in the words of Christ."

"Fundamentalism is the triumph of Paul over Christ."

-Wil Durant (Philospher)

"Paul hardly ever allows the real Jesus of Nazareth to get a word in." (U.S. News and World Report, April 22, 1991, p. 55)

-Carl Jung (Psychologist)

Bishop John S. Spong (Episcopal Bishop of Newark)

"Paul's words are not the Words of God. They are the words of Paul- a vast difference." (Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism, p. 104, Harper San Francisco, 1991)

-Bishop John S. Spong (Episcopal Bishop of Newark

Why are ancient literary works often attributed to people who did not actually write them?

Rumors have it that Adam & Evewere expelled from the Garden of Eden on a Friday; Noah's Flood started on a Friday;
and Christ was crucified on a Friday. Christians have noted that 12 witches plus one devil are present at satanic ceremonies on a Friday. So, Friday and 13 make a deadly combination. Are the above true? Know of any other examples?

I'm not talking so much about Y!A, I expect it on here. I'm referring to the lack of basic grammar and spelling in the 'real' world such as resumes and formal communication. Will it just continue to decline until we're reading a cover letter saying, "i'm jus want da job cuz i qulifyed nd iz edumicated"? WTF?!

Not only does it make the individual look like a complete moron, I won't take someone seriously if they communicate with me like that through formal channels.

If married, don't you have to have sex to officially be married? Consummation or whatever.

And if single, could it be that she lied about having sex with someone?

I am just trying to make sense of everything, not trying to stir anything up.
