When you sit on a chair, how do you know it won't suddenly break? Or when you drive on a 2-lane, that the other car won't collide head on with you? Faith. Man has always claimed empy truths. Why trust what someone else just makes up? If we were created, then reasonably, there must be a creator. Won't you want to trust in a truth that is independant of what any man thinks? Three blind men touch different parts of an elephant, one thinks the leg is a tree, one thinks its back is a rock, and one thinks its trunk is a snake. They argue as man's nature. What they really need is someone who can see to REVEAL the truth to them. That someone couldn't be man for HOW can the blind lead the blind? God, the father of Christ, is the only being from OUTSIDE this BLIND world who has told man that there is truth, that He is the only Truth. Pagan religions, atheists, agnostics, don't affirm this truth at all b/c blind men made them. TRUST He who sees.
Re-read all of this before commenting. God bless!

Ever notice that? Just about every creationist debate will in no way attempt to prove creation- It always starts babbling about 'macro evolution can't be real'..Duh. Anyway- These arguments are always directed at DISproving evolution. Not proving their 'theory'- Just disproving ours. Well allow me to bring attention to this- DISproving evolution (even if you somehow managed to do that) does NOT prove creation. At all. It just disproves evolution.


There are still, oh, what 57,000 other myths concerning where human life originated? There's a few where the god got sick and vomited up everything in existance. Well g'head and disprove the other ones when you're done with evolution- You could disprove them all, still doesn't mean yours is correct.-

His predictions of the future have mystified scholars for over four hundred years. Nostradamus made over one thousand predictions and historians say that over half of them have already come true. What are you thoughts ???

I was raised to believe that there is a god, who punishes you by dropping you in a pit of fire, but now I'm questioning why I should believe in a basically mythical creature, who's only proof of existing is a book written thousands of years ago. Also, even if he did exist, why would I want to worship a person who believes that he is the ultimate achievement and proudly displays it in such an un-modest way. Dedicating an entire day to himself? Look at Hitler, look at god. The only difference I see is a mustache. If you speak out against him, you're damned. If you believe other than he does, you're damned. If you do anything what so ever to dis-please him, and do not kiss his feet and ask for forgiveness after word, you're damned. Is there others who believe as I do? Am I alone?

...who sins every day, but I repent my sins every sunday, and seek forgiveness from God.

Am I a better person than he who lives his life without sin (in His eyes) but doesnt believe in a god?

Why is it the only other language to choose from, when given a choice? Seems everyone else learns English, but the spanish speakers. Why is that.

BARNABAS tells the Jersusalem community of the Galatian success..

1) what problems does the addition of Gentiles cause? How does the Church deal with these issues?

2) Discuss: the Counsil of Jersusalem -- Who attends and what is decided there?

3) What is said in James' follow-up letter & how does paul react?

4) What do the Judaizers do in paul's community? whom does paul blame? How is the whole issue resolved?

I am a sinner as everyone is. I was wondering if you had to go to confessional to repent. When I do something wrong I just pray to God for forgiveness. But do you have to go to a confessional to make it count? Or can I just continue what I am doing?

The Bible was written by human beings. It is read by human beings. If it wasn't open to interpretation then everyone who read it would agree what it meant, but they can't, often so much that violence ensues.

So isn't every interpretation of the bible just the projection of the individual reader? If not, why not? (You'll have to persuade us that Christians all agree on quite a lot of it.)

Thanks to all.

Who or what could I dress up as for a costume party? I am around 5'4", have dark hair, and like Star Wars, Stargate [both SG-1 and Atlantis] and King Arthur legends and want to be either a pilot or doctor when I'm done with college. Please don't suggest anything rude.

I am looking to create a certain look for a costume. I am looking for a very short pink flirty mini-skirt and a top that is sexy, that I'm planning on wearing with a pink long haired wig with pigtails, kinda like a cosplay look. The costumes are too expensive, so I'm putting it together mostly myself.

Ok I'm only 14 now. I am not part of a religion right now but I want to be. But anyways, things are really bugging me like not knowing what happens after we die and all that stuff. Is there a heaven, hell, or both? Is any religion right? Do we reincarnate? So many things. I also don't want to go to the underworld or anything just because I wasn't part of a religion or something. It's just, we don't know anything. And that really upsets me.
So, feel free to say anything.

Or remember. 'Start The Revolution Without me'? Starring, Donald Sutherland and Gene Wilder (I think). It was one of the funniest films in memory, and I can't find a DVD of it anywhere.

How is this all going to turn out? Will the DNA/Blood evidence found in a car rented by the McCanns 5 weeks(!) after Madeline's dissapearance hold up? Will the parents crack and admit to accidently over-sedating their daughter and hiding the baby (assuming this is the truth)? Or do you think the case will never be solved like the Ramsey case and the parents will always be under a cloud of suspicion?

(For all you parents: please don't ever leave young children asleep in a hotel room. If they wake up they'll be terrified and try to leave the room to look for you).

Just need to know which you think is classier. I personally like the pantyhose look because it makes my outfit feel complete. Bare is in but so many women really have crappy legs that it makes me wonder why it would be in.
