I'm referring to a question from a couple of weeks ago:

If neither believes in the existence of the particular deity, then what sense does asking something to the air do?

this is just a statement and not a question. yet when presented with evidence you find a way to dismiss it. i am reminded of a story this atheist and this christian live next door to each other and the christian was struggling to make end meet and the atheist tells him how foolish he is to believe in a God that cant feed him or clothe him so one night the christian is praying and crying for God to make a way for him so the atheist goes out and buys a bill of groceries and withdraws a couple of dollars from his account and decides to leave it on the christians door step he goes home and he hears the christian praising God for the food and money and the atheist runs over and curses the man and tell him he did it for him and not God. so the christian says thank you God for using the devil to bless me.

Abel was the first Sheppard.
Cain was the first farmer and the first murderer.
Noah invented wine.

Who invented ridding and what did they ride? Camel, horse, elephant, etc?

I've been talking to this atheist, about God, and it's really frustrating because every time I try to reason with him about God, ie. "watch on the beach" and other examples, he claims he has faith that he's right. I don't really know how I can make any progress with him.

All disparaging remarks are offensive...

But what tugs at your purse strings the most?

When someone insults:
1. You
2. A person's race?
3. A person's culture
4. A person's sexual preference
5. A person's religion?
6. A person's physical appearance
7. The Lord GOD and Jesus Christ?

I am totally offended by the offense so many direct to our Lord. If people gave utimate respect to our Lord, in my opinion they would never insult any of the other 6 listed?

And you?

The 1st commandment says we can't have any other "gods" before God...

Does someone know the translation of "gods"? In church they always say it means things like "money" or other earthly desires. If thats what they meant, they would have written "desires"...

Does someone know the translation? Are there other gods besides THE God?

Grace cannot lie(law) nor die(law).
But Mt 22:36-40 law law does both.
BTW, isn't Rom 8:2 Law vs Law as Loser vs Loser?

Years ago, one of my spiritual mentors told me this. At the time I thought it was pretty lame. But with time, I see it as more and more true.

She said that here on earth, there are lots of "good-bye" moments. We are always having to leave people or get left by people.

But if the theologians are right, and heaven/paradise/God's grace is union with God and others, then heaven would be full of "hello"s and devoid of "good-byes."

The word "hello" invites communication and communion: connection.

Heaven is greater and greater union, deeper and deeper connection with God, our source and foundation. The same with love. So do you think one way of thinking about God's Kingdom is an eternal "Hello"?

It was only like a year ago I was pretty positive, upbeat kind of guy. I was a good christian, but I was never one to tell people how to live their lives.

Now, though, I'm a totally different person. I mean, I *act* the same, when I'm around friends and family, but I feel so worthless anymore. Thanks to some really shitty friends, and the people I once loved treating me like I'm totally useless, I've lost all faith in God. It's not that I'm "angry" with him (I was at one point, though), but I have lost the belief of his existance.

The thing is, I feel like my life has no meaning anymore. I question why I still go on, when my life shows no hope of improving. I think the worst thing, is I feel *I'm* the one to blame, and that makes me dislike myself anymore. I'm really self-conscious, plus overweight, so I really just feel more and more like a total failure.

What's happened to me? And what can I possibly do to add meaning to my life? Is there a way to become religious again?

First, knowing you're putting the lives of those around you at risk, is it very Christian to be driving in the first place? Should there be a "Christian Speed Limit" to ensure the safety of those around them? Like, it's ok to drive 25 MPH, but 70 MPH is just un-Christian.

Second, if someone *is* driving (let's say they're sitting at a stop light), and they disappear, is it stealing if I take their car?

Thanks in advance for your thought out and informed opinions.

At the newish Creation Museum, there is an exhibit that shows man with the dinosaurs, and there is a saddle on the dinosaur.

I am not joking.

My question is if we cannot domesicate rhinos or hippos, how did Adam tame the T-Rex?

Isaiah 44:8 says, "Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one." II Samuel 22:32 says, "For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?"

Just Maybe Jesus is God, Hmm?

I know that my Redeemer lives;

What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever living Head.

He lives to bless me with His love,
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed,
He lives to help in time of need.

He lives triumphant from the grave,
He lives eternally to save,
He lives all glorious in the sky,
He lives exalted there on high.

He lives to grant me rich supply,
He lives to guide me with His eye,
He lives to comfort me when faint,
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.

He lives to silence all my fears,
He lives to wipe away my tears
He lives to calm my troubled heart,
He lives all blessings to impart.

Do you know he pours his blessings on those who love him?
Is this you?
