The answer is not as obvious as it looks the sign needs to show a progression. I liked the answer rtd2 gave and the one about how the resurect happened after 4days shoing creation of life. If that person emails me I will site their Quote in my thesis. Thanks

Yesterday we had lunch with some friends, their daughter and daughter's kids.

The 6 year old had spaghetti with no sauce. She pcked up each strand with her fingers, put one end in her mouth and sucked it in. Her grandmother told her several times that she shouldnt do that. Grandma showed her how to wind the spaghetti around her fork. The kid didnt pay any attention. Sucked it all down.

The 3 yr old was up and running all over. He hid under booths, crawled around other people's feet, ran thu the bar area and was crawling on the pool table in the game room.

The kids grandmother said sternly not to do this. Grandfather said to stop, or he'd be forced to go get the boy himself. But, neither of them did more than admonish them.

The kid's mother sat there. Paid very little attention to the kids behaviour.

I wanted to get up, get that little boy, set him down in his chair and tell him I would spank if he got up again, & mean it. I didnt tho.

What should I have done?

I am sick and tired of atheists taking Bible verses out of context and using tragedies to suit their own purpose.

God gave us free will, which is why bad things happen. God never said life would be easy. Life is a test. It is supposed to help you grow.

One of the dumbest questions I have ever seen was, "If you were God, would you allow a child to be raped and murdered?".

Hello? The child feels no pain and they will be in Heaven for eternity and the rapist will get what is coming to them.

I know some things may be hard to understand, but we are nothing compared to God and it is not our place to ever question Him.

Everything that happens is done with our best interest in mind.

Agree?

Why do Christians always have something to say about Atheists and .. well Buddhists, Muslims, Hindu's, Pagan's .. the list continues. Why are they not content to believe what they believe and allow other people to believe what they want. Why send missionaries out to Buddhist countries and then seem surprised and horrified that they are not welcomed with open arms?

I am so tired of seeing this on here. It is not true. The original Christians had no idea what the Catholic church was. If you went back to Peter and said "hello Pope Peter, how are you doing" He would have no idea who you are talking to. If you told him he was the head of the church he would say no Christ is. Catholics are not the original church nor the original Christians. I fail to see why catholics claim this to be true. Can someone please explain it to me?

Which one would try to convert the other first?
The Christian, of course.
But I think, and rightly so, that deep, deep down every Christian thinks like an Atheist; they are just afraid of the consequences, just in case God exists; a kind of life insurance.
I do not blame them, but I pity them.

Not knowing or caring is like putting a freakin gun to your head and saying ow well. Everyone else cant figure it out ow well is the stupidest thought known to mankind.

Does a person with aids give up Cause theres isent a cure?........get out and find a cure and do everything possiBle!!!

Does a little kid give up on riding his Bike cause he has no one to teach him?............................. get up and keep on trying no matter who says he cant!!!

Should a man with a family lost in the wilderness stop and give up cause hes to tierd and has lost hope.............................
he should keep on trying no matter if how hard it is cause his family needs him.

Than is it worth it to you and your family to give up cause your not convenced 100%.Is it worth eternity even if you Belived 20%.There is still a chance.

Im gonna keep on trying even if I had 0 faith in every thing.
To worry aBout what is possaBle and never give up.
Would if hell does exist.Why limit your self

...with your immortal soul, your eternal destination....???

Yes I realize you don't believe in any of that - but I don't believe the world is round, that doesn't make it flat.

Believe me there is more than a 100% chance that you are DEAD WRONG.

What I can't seem to figure out is why are you betting your life - literally - on some non-existant "chance" you might be right?!?

You do understand the risk, the consequence of rejecting GOD don't you?

You do understand that not believing in something doesn't make it go away don't you?

I mean do you guys go to Vegas all the time? Why are you such gamblers? Does your own LIFE mean NOTHING to you?!?

Is your own PRIDE so important you are willing to lose everything defending it?!?

Can't you see how stupid, stubborn and illogical you are acting?!?

I am a theology major and am writing a paper on the sign miracles in John and how they show the diety of Christ. I have read chapter 11 over and over and I don't see the sign that points towards his deity. Any Ideas? my paper can be emailed to give examples of the caliber of answers need.
