Wouldn't it be more logical for atheists to say, "I don't believe in evidence of a creator," instead of "there is no evidence of a creator," as most atheists would say? Simply because there is a possibility (and prove me if I'm wrong) of evidence either being overlooked, denied through either denial, misguided perception, or by ignoring or simply not finding the evidence that is out there?

This is for Brian and CJ and others with the same attitude. You constantly claim that the Bible is the sole authority and that Catholics do not follow the bible. If we are to follow only exactly what is written in the bible, then is it your opinion that it is okay to have sex with animals or engage in necrophilia? After all, Jesus never specifically condemned these acts.
Your personal doctrine appears to be only to follow exactly what is in scripture, and if it's not in scripture (ie: Mary's perpetual virginity, etc) then it is simply not true.

So, does the fact that beastiality and necrophilia are not condemed in the bible make these acts are okay?

Version, when he had the book of lehi already?
If it was that important for us to know, why would a simple issue like misplacing the translation prevent them from being reproduced? Is god that petty?

why is it so many, if not all, of the information which disputes evolution are either links to websites who's name is clearly associated with christianity, or if not, they are easily associated within a few links. example: you go to a website called something like modernscience.com. it seems legit, so you take a read. you start reading the information provided, and you notice it bears a striking resemeblence to creationism and intelligent design. you do a wiki search of the author of the website and voila!!! your search result has answersingenesis.com as the first link.

I have heard parts of it and have LOVED it. Has anybody here read it all and what would you suggest would be a good way to go about reading (the language used is a little tough.) My fiancee bought it and we want to read it together in preparation for our marriage next year. Any suggestions? Thanks :)

I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these....

There is an awful lot of "doing" in that section.

Is that all they're interested in? Why can't they like me for my brain or sense of humor?

I am SO SICK of feeling like a piece of meat on parade.

Seriously, is that what Jesus would do? I don't think so.

For those of you who have a close walk with God within a Christian community, do you allow your children to celebrate Halloween or participate in activities related to this day?
Why or why not?

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Throughout the New Testament the JW's have replace the word Lord with Jehovah. Even though this is not found in any of the Greek texts. The interesting thing is the exceptions. Where did they not change it? Lets look at 2 verses. In both the King James Version and the NWT.

1Peter (KJV) 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

1 Peter 3:12 (NWT) For [the] eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous ones, and his ears are toward their supplication; but [the] face of Jehovah is against those doing bad things.”

If you note in the above verses the word Lord in the KJV is changed to Jehovah. This is done throughout the NT by the JW's. But lets go a couple verses further down.

1Pe 3:15 (KJV) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

I received a weird text message from oversea from long-time friend which said:

"sorry, that I am sending it but I can't ignore this... 700 days passed since John Paul II went to heaven. Send it to 8 people and in 8 days angels will send you a miracle. If you don't do it, there will be 8 days of bad luck. Honor him. I am not concernet about chain... only about memory of him.. send this forward to everyone on your list. don't back up."

So far thats the weirdest message I received from a friend overseas. Of course I did not pass it on and just ignored it and I think it is very ridiculous! Giving someone ultimatum is load of crap. Anyway who would like to be honored that way?
How would you react to a friend if you got this message?

If the earth is made into a paradise after Armagedon..and the dead are brought back to life..What happens if the spouse of one of the dead..that has been resurrected..has remarried..? The previously dead spouse would want to reunite with his wife or husband..but, that spouse would be married to someone else..Does the Bible say anything about this potential problem?

Would a perfect being, like Adam or Eve... use their free will to choose evil?

Why would a perfect being choose to do evil, wouldn't that be something an imperfect being would do?
