They knew nothing about the universe at that time, and nobody, e.g., God or Jesus, had anything to say about the scope of it all. Heaven was supposed to be where they opened the floodgates to make it rain. Doesn't that make you question the whole thing just a teensy bit? Why would anyone not question the so-called wisdom that came from those ages. I'm not disputing that there is a certain amount of wisdom in the Bible, but any philosophy or science text makes much more persuasive arguments. Is it just that you don't want to know? No mean answers please.

So...they pick and choose which parts to believe. How can they know what is real and what is not? And aren't they basically saying that not all god says is true?

If you haven't heard yet, there are some major fires in the city of San Diego - the worst case of fires that San Diego has on record. This, of course, affects me greatly, but I am more worried about the people losing their houses and so on. This is a prayer request for the safety of my fellow San Diego citizens and for the containment of the fires - there are about eight or nine of them. Thank you in advance.

I mean, if you go to eat a cow or something, at least it has a sporting chance of running away, but poor helpless defenseless broccoli is stuck there in the ground, and here come the vegans with their choppers getting ready to chomp into its poor little green head. I think there should be a Broccoli Defense League, what do you think?

Koran
33 The clans
33:59 O Prophet! Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.

Bible
St. Paul, 1 Cor 11, 3-16]
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.

I have read and studied a ton of writers on the subject of human consciousness. For example; Pinker, Eldeman, and many others that show how and why certain systems developed. However, those are not as comfortable when it comes to explaining the high quality functions that we are imbued with. They call it qualia and its stumps them. Love, Music, Feelings, Appreciation, Art, and so many more are not required for life to have sustained itself and continued its systems

Does it stump you?
Why do we have so much more than required for survival and evolution?

Come to ask Jesus into their hearts on their deathbeds?

Before you all go attacking me, this is not meant as a joke or insult to those of you who are atheists! I just know of so many people who said they did not believe in God, wanted to hear nothing of Him and then when faced with their death, they wanted to know the truth and felt God leading them to come to Him and got saved! I believe it happens more than you guys on here would like to admit! Just look at it like this ..people say they don't believe in God or they just don't want to serve Him, then something really bad happens in their lives and they are running to pray!

Steve Bitterman, 60, was an instructor at Southwestern Community College in Red Oak, Iowa. Last week, he dared to tell his students that the Biblical story of Adam and Eve should not be literally interpreted. Truth is not much a part of Iowa curricula, it seems, so a handful of students who threatened legal action over his remarks in a Western Civilization class intimidated the faculty enough that the teacher was fired.

Bitterman objected, and rightly so:

The Southwestern Community College president, Barbara Crittenden, said that Bitterman taught one course at Southwest, but declined comment on his claim that he was fired specifically over the Bible reference, claiming that it was a personnel issue.

A number of Islamists on Y!A claims that everybody on this earth is a muslim. Moses was muslim, Jesus was muslim, King Solomon was muslim etc. etc.. I wonder if in future they found life on Mars, whether these zealots will claim that Martians were also Muslim. On the sidelines, how the Martian females will look like in Burqa ??

They're not against Lord of the Rings but they're against Harry Potter. They both have magic in them. Shouldn't people just be happy that kids want to read? Surely God won't send them to hell for reading fantasy books.

I know I will get flack for this, and people will tell me not to talk to my son about God. So this question is directed to those who obviously don't feel that way.

I have a 3 year old and I have talked to him about God, but don't know how to explain things to him so that he will understand. He asks where God is and if He will be visiting us, things like that and I don't know how to explain it to him.

Attention all Christians!!!

List (as long as you want) people that need to be prayed for. I will pray for ALL of them. You don't have to name their name. All you have to say is "my sis" or something like that.

And, will you pray for a person please??? She needs salvation. Thank-you.
