I read that in Dante's Inferno---It is very wise in my opinion.
If God is absolute Justice, Righteousness, Holiness, and wisdom. We have no right to argue with His infinitely wise choice. What are your views?

It seems to me that the koran is unreliable , because it contradicts itself in many places. If God cannot change, or lie, then surely this would also follow that any book that is supposeed to be the devine words from God, should also not change or contradict itself. Otherwise one should be entitled to disregard it as just the ravings of a mad man.

Matthew 7:6 ".....do not cast your pearls before swine."
I just saw this verse being used again (by a contact, a person who I respect greatly) in regards to quoting bible verses or witnessing to unbelievers. When in the CONTEXT of the verse, it is talking about christians being hypocritical.
My point is; The verse has nothing to do with witnessing. It is the CHRISTIAN who "cast pearls before swine" by BRINGING REPROACH to the name of Christ by practicing unchristian behavior. Why do so many christians use this verse as an excuse NOT to witness to someone? When did it become our job to decide that someone is just too "hopeless" to witness to? Why is this verse jerked out of its context so often?

I say yes. Generally speaking, men tend to drive better. Don't get emotional about this question and give me your opinion but please don't say anything extreme like "YOU ARE A SEXIST" or else I will have to delete your comment. My mom, sister, aunts, and cousins are all TERRIBLE drivers. I just recently got my permit and I drive better than my mom who has had her license for 25 years- it's true, even my mom agrees. I am not saying ALL women are bad at parking or whatever, but to be brutally honest, women tend to kind of suck at driving- slow reaction, bad handling, etc. As I say this, read the full article and give me your opinion.

i know i sound rude , and offensive please explain though.

i was told that god love us so much that he gave his only son jesus to die for our sins so we must accept him as a personal savior and stuff to be saved.

but what exactly is 'gave'?

i mean seriously he was united with his father after he is crucified , it is not as though he was burn in hell eternally and seperate from god eternally ..

so why ? please don't quote

I know that you might wanna laugh, because at heart, I'm a very, very, VERY simple creature. Try to hold it back though, these are things that I'm very appreciative for in my life:

*My flip flops. I think they are like my 3rd pair, ever, but I swear, I don't feel anything when I wear them. They have decent support. This isn't what I'm most thankful for, but it had to be mentioned! =D
*My internet friend, Chad. He makes me feel like I'm really not alone in this world. He has a potentially big, BIG problem on his hands right now, but I'm trying to soften the blow a little. Very sweet, like-able person.
*My cousin Nick. He's awesome and then some. He works a lot, and our relationship has been suffering because of it (amongst other things) but he is one of the best people I know in real life.
*My mother. Though she can be strict and a bit "mean" at times, she's is very giving and lovely in her own way.
*My brother Antwain. I know you probably shouldn't have a favorite, but he's mine......

I am a nontheist (I do not believe in a god) but I am open to debate on the issue. I would like to know what arguments people believe are the strongest arguments and lines of evidence that support creationism, especially young earth creationism. I want to know why people believe in creationism, and would like to see the evidence that supports their position.

I DO NOT want to read mindless prattle, please, if you are going to respond do so intelligently without profanity and without attacking other peoples beliefs.

Also, please include sources for your arguments if possible, I would like the opportunity to read what you have read to lead to your argument for creationism.

The truth is, they are just ordinary people trying to make a living like the rest of us. They resort to violence in their business because we the "good" citizens have passed laws to make drugs illegal and open room for a monopoly for those who has the firepower to keep it a monopoly.

If drugs are were comonly sold like it was alcohol and cigaretes, we wouldn't have these organized cartels runing the show. Who cares for the people dumb enough to take these poisons at their own leisure! They take themselves out so that the smart ones will be left standing to breeder smarter generations. :)

Hello.
I have done some really horrible things lately, and have done them before, and I am so ashamed of myself it hurts, I have promised the Lord that I would stop but I keep doing it over again, it is not just one thing, it is many things, I really need his forgiveness once again, and help to stop. Will the Lord forgive me again and help me?

God created man perfect with the free will to choose to be imperfect. Adam brought corruption into mankind and we chose to sin in our corrupt nature. God took the responsibility of our sin when He died on the cross and rose from the dead.

I've been recently seeing this question from angry immature atheists. I hope they receive comfort and give up their hatred of the creator.

(Encyclopedia Britannica) The History of Christian Mysticism, where it reads: “Although the essence of mysticism is the sense of contact with the transcendent, mysticism in the history of Christianity should not be understood merely in terms of special ecstatic experiences but as part of a religious process lived out within the context of the Christian community. From this perspective mysticism played a vital part in the early church. Early Christianity was a religion of the spirit that expressed itself in the heightening and enlargement of human consciousness”.

"Khoop dat je toekomst je alles brengt wat je jartje verborngt, want je verdient het!"
