Really need to know. Clergy doesn't seem to have a clue. Kinda out of their realm, although, that mystifies me. Contacts besides clergy would be appreciated. Thanks. Nancy

Dinosaurs were estimated to live around 65 million years ago. God created the Earth in 6 days, according to the Bible. The Bible has no mention of dinosaurs, or of primitive human existence. How could God create the Earth in 6 days, create man on the 6th day, and there is no mention of dinosaurs? The Bible: fact, fiction, or primitive speculation? All answers welcome: Christians, please help to to understand. (No, this isn't a negative attack on Christianity).

I have wanted to be a Family and Marriage therapist for the past 5 years. 6 months ago I accepted Christ and now I want to do all the things God want me to do also I’ve been praying to serve Him and please Him. Now the more i went to my psychology classes, i realized that there is no thought of God when people try to solve world's problems. Then that’s when God told me that I will not be able to help families and couples with psychology. So then I decided that once i finish school, i will go to a Christian grad school so I can learn to solve problems God's way. After that i just prayed that He will work it out for me and I stopped worrying about it. I found peace and started to speak God's word to my room mates and class mate. Now it is the end of the school semester and last night, God reminded me that even though what i am doing is nice, it is not what he wants me to do. I truly believe that he wants me to leave school after that i don't know. This is a hard choice cuz of my mom.

Why is abortion a dilemma?
Has anyone ever tried to solve it?

Why are there many Christian denominations that practice 'miracles' like speaking in tongues, slaying in the spirit, prophesying and preach prosperity? Didn't Jesus warn about apostasy in the Last Days?
The Bible says miracles will cease once Scripture is complete. No where does it say that miracles continue until today.

I just got a Fossil watch for my boyfriend for his birthday and I was really hoping on getting it engraved. There isn't room on the back of the watch, and I was wondering about the clasp. It's stainless steel so I know the material is fine, but do people ever get the clasp of a watch engraved? I guess it would be facing out because I think it'd be too hard to do inside. Any suggestions or does anyone know? This will be my first engraving experience :-) so I don't really know what protocol is (and what engraving stores can/will do!).

Normally each year, we do something small but nice. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, or like last year, we bought tons of presents, and dropped them off at women shelters.

I was thinking this year of helping at a food bank, but I would love other ideas. Something that 2 or more people can do together would be great!

Do you "cop out" and say, "well, that's impossible", or "that's not how it is, so this question is pointless." ?

In other words, if your good book doesn't have a good response, do you feel the question is unworthy of an answer?

Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Mt 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed

Not meant in an offensive way, I have a lil black in me. I just found a website that was very racist and quite disturbing. And i justed want to hear from people who think black people are bad, or criminal, or baby rapers. I just want to know what makes you think that, and who do you think you are to be judging people (an entire race of people) that you don't even know? Thanks

Hello,

I'm looking for Christmas present ideas for my parents. I can spend around $50 to $100. They spend so much time being good parents that they don't have much in the way of hobbies. :) Last year I bought a gift certificate to a new restaurant they had wanted to try--that worked great, but I don't want to wear the idea out.

They are pretty practical people. If the gift has a reasonable use or purpose, it will be seen as "from the heart" etc. etc. I have a couple minor ideas. I'd like them to have the option of buying/receiving something they really want, but with the appropriate thought on my part. Gift cards are great, but this would seem to indicate that I'm going for value, not appreciation or thought.

Any ideas? Someone on another Answers thread mentioned a hot air balloon ride. This sounded interesting but I'd sure like to hear what others might recommend.

Maybe I'm trying too hard to find the right present....

Thanks

Some one said that I always "have a scowl on my face, everything that comes out of my mouth is negative, and I always look sad." They know that my family is Russian, then they said thats why. Why would they say something like that? I don't understand the connection...? I just never have anything to be happy about

Has anyone ever said something like this to you?

Surrounding yourself in the culture? For example I live near the border and would love to know spanish... Can I pick it up slowly by watching spanish television and listening to spanish music? My friend told me his mom never taught him just like me but he picked it up by listening.
