researching the beliefs of muslims and christians, i have found the muslim belief is terribly off. the sun doesnt sink in a muddy swamp. while the bible has many scientific discoveries to back it up. So if the bible keeps being strong in truth what reasons do muslims follow their belief for besides been brought up with that religon. I could name dozens of proof for the bible and none for the muslim faith.

Are you, or is someone you know, addicted to painkillers such as Solpadeine Plus, or Co-Codamol (the ones you can buy over the counter).

I noticed recently that I was taking Solpadeine Plus when I didn't even have a headache. I asked my pharmacist about safe levels etc, and during our conversation he told me that these painkillers just fly off the shelves as more and more people are becoming addicted to the codeine in them - not realising the danger of overdosing on paracetamol, or of wrecking their liver.

I see the TV advert for Solpadeine Plus now advises that you should take them if you feel pain, "and if you don't, don't", and that the manufacturer has reduced the largest packet size from 60, to 32 tablets.

I have a feeling the drugs company who makes these tablets are fully aware of how addictive they are, and just wondered how many people are taking more OTC painkillers than is good for them.

Why do you put the name Jehovah in the NT? It is not included once in the NT in the Greek texts. Every book in the NT was originally written in Greek as far as can be proven. There is some speculation about Matthew but even it is assumed by most to have been written in Greek. So why put the name Jehovah in the NT when it is not there in the original texts?

I am not asking about Jehovah being translated as Lord in the OT. So if you could avoid that I would appreciate it.

I am a catholic and I have always wondered what Atheists believe is going to happen to them after they die. I think I would be pretty pissed off if I were atheist because I would think I only have about 75 years to live and then nothing after that. I respect Atheist beliefs and please dont insult my beliefs like the other times I have asked questions about atheism to Atheists. (only a few of them insulted me, not all) I respect you Atheists and please show me that same respect.

The world today revolves around people opinions and choices that they make. My dad opinion on his religion will never change. He is so stubborn , not willing to open up , and not wanting to listen to other people perspective of views. He thinks his religion is the best and doesn’t want to know about anything other people believe. He read the bible and believe everything in it. I am more an open minded girl. I agree with my dad in the fact that we all should read the bible, but I also believe that people can believe what makes them happy and they should feel comfortable with their religion. Therefore, people shouldn’t be forced to believe in something. They should be able to find out by them selves what’s right and what’s wrong by them educating themselves. I look at different religions to see what the differences are.

I know you atheists get wet over this THEORY but I got to say do you not see the glaring holes? Evolution is fuled by random chance mutations? No? Well why are all of the worlds species so clean cut? Did they all just randomly happen to mutate something useful EVERY SINGLE TIME because for such hit and miss process I don't see alot of strange creatures who are carrying around strange variable mutations. There are absolutlely no signs of progression between species. I know you think there are but if you use your brains your would mabye ask yourselves why we don't seem to be continuing to evolve. And if you say "oh you dumbass it is a very slow and gradual process" then why don't the species reflect this. If evolution were true there would be no possiblity for disinction because just about every mutant would produce offspring and there would be a great amount of examples of this gradual process. But as I said the lines between species are too clearly defined .

If you read in the KJV or any version that has verse 37 you can see that it is meant to go with verses 36 and 38. Also verse 37 it is in the NIV, it is in the footnotes.
36And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
<<<<>>>>>>>
37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
>>>>>This is how the eunuch responded after he said he believed Jesus was the son of God>>>>>
38And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

I have met more people from that era that have common sense and despise what flower children have done to this country. The hippies are more in the media because they control it and Hollywood. Sorry, I'm just on an anti-hippie rant today.

OK, we've all seen so many believers say "so and so" are not "true" Christians, even though they say they are.

So what is your criteria? How do you know who a "true" Christian is?

If no one agrees on the same criteria, how can we trust anyone to judge anyone else?

Should we rely on the opinion of the believer?

Should we go with consensus?

Thoughts?

2.- Or the person who knocks at the Surgeon's door practically saying:

In the light of Duane "The Dog" Chapman's verbal snafu, everybody in the entertainment business dropped him like a hot potato.

His remark was in private to a family member (to his son who was dating an African-American woman). For some reason, it got out in public and now he has to go make his apology rounds.

Here's my question; should Duane Chapman have to make a TV appearance for something he said in the privacy of his own home?

Now, I'm no racist and what the guy said was offensive, however, why bring what he says in private out in the open and criticize him for it? I'm sure he feels bad about saying it now. The media should just leave him alone.

Where in the Bible does it say the gifts of the Holy Spirit are not for today? I can't seem to find it. All I see is that the Holy Spirit will abide with us forever. So why do people try and claim the gifts have ceased?

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
