I've done a lot of looking into Dr Kent Hovind's site: www.drdino.com even watched his lectures and debates. Just curious on what any of you think. Personally, I'm going with 6,000-10,000 years...

This question is for Christians who love hiding God's Word in their hearts as much as I do. Right now I am memorizing verses, but eventually, I would like to graduate to portions of Scripture.

The passage I want to commit to memory is either Matthew 6:19-34 or Luke 12:22-33. I like the way both passages of Scripture are worded, but I'm just not sure which one I should memorize since they are almost alike in content. I guess it's a matter of personal choice (I'm leaning towards Matthew), but would be interested in what you think. Thanks!

Also, I am Googling scripture topics lists to get ideas for future verses to memorize. I came upon a site called Pat's Place, and on it, she has a list of topics for scripture memory. I copied and pasted it into a text box and printed it up for my own use. However, I'm just wondering if, since the site is copyrighted, does that include her particular list of topics for scripture memory? I looked, but did not see where I could write for permission.

When he told His church leaders generally (and Peter specifically) that anything they bound on earth would be bound in heaven, that they had the power to forgive men's sins and any they forgave would be forgiven and any they retained would be retained? And finally what did He mean when he gave Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven?

The whole concept of eternal hell does not make sense to me on a karmic level. Even according to the Old Testament it is an eye of and eye and a tooth for a tooth, not a hand for a fingernail and a chopping up of the body into bits for ever and ever, even if someone in some life did commit a grave crime such as dismemberment. I know what is going to be said that all our righteous acts are like menstrual rags to God & that in comparison to God's infinite Goodness our sin is worth infinite punishment. This does not pan out either. God cannot judge us up to his/her standard since we are not God. Only God can judge God by God's standards. Why do we treat adults differently in the legal system than juveniles? This is because we inherently know that children as less culpable since they have not reached our level yet. The best of physical world mirrors the spiritual. If we would not eternally torture our own children for some misdeed how much more would one who is infinitely kind do likewise.

If so, how concerned should we be that we are nearing the end of time as we know it?

1914, 1915, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975 and 1994, etc. were other dates that the Watchtower Society (WTS) or its members predicted.
bulletSince late in the 19th century, they had taught that the "battle of the Great Day of God Almighty" (Armageddon) would happen in 1914 CE. It didn't.
The next major estimate was 1925. Watchtower magazine predicted: "The year 1925 is a date definitely and clearly marked in the Scriptures, even more clearly than that of 1914; but it would be presumptuous on the part of any faithful follower of the Lord to assume just what the Lord is going to do during that year." 6
The Watchtower Society selected 1975 as its next main prediction. This was based on the estimate "according to reliable Bible chronology Adam was created in the year 4026 BCE, likely in the autumn of the year, at the end of the sixth day of creation." 8 They believed that the year 1975 a promising date for the end of the world, as it was the 6,000th anniversary of Adam's creation.

I am trying to understand the full rational for the different sides of the debate, so please include the following in your answer:

1. When you believe the zygot/embryo/fetus/baby becomes its own organism, seperate from that of its mother and why you chose that time.

2. When would an abortion be acceptable in your opinion? (mother incapable of raising child, child has abnormality, rape, incest, could kill mother, etc.)

3. Do you know anyone who had an abortion and if so how did this affect your view?

it looks like wicca is a nice religin and all, but i do see a darker side to it, ive been studying for a few years now,and i did some magick too.but the more i read books on withcraft,the more i see the strange simalaritys wicca has with satanism,it makes me wonder. like in the book of satan,it says
harm none,do as ye will..so does the wiccans reed,both religons use the pentagram,swords,etc. im not saying all wiccans are conspiriters. i guess some do work with the devil,and others dont.
just like some of the biggest catholic prist's in the usa belong to the golden dawn. a satan based group. so the devil is everywhere
Even in GOD's church. i see wiccans and magicians at catholic church's quit often.and ives seen christians in wicca groups and meetings.so i guess it just depends on the person. good&evil in all of us. some more,some less.

I first heard about the "bible codes" on Oprah. Somebody has said that you can decipher the bible by spelling out somebody's name. By spelling out a persons name a certain way in the bible, you can fortell the future of that person. Is this true? Where did it come from? I'm just curious. Thank you.

You ask them " What nationality are you from?"

Then they tell you " Oh I am a mutt I am 1/2 chineese, 1/3 italian, 1/5 German , 1/8 French, 1/3 Portuguese, 1/2 Chiwawa and part German Sheperd, 1/3 Swedish, and 1/6 Norwegian"

I mean if you add this up they add up to like 3 people.

It's silly they mention every country in the world and the most annoying part is when they finish naming half the world they finish it off all the time by saying :

"Oh yeh I'm also part native American "Cherokee"!

People do NOT find this cool " They don't say " OH that is amazing...You are SUCH a cool person "

I find this highly annoying.....I asked a simple question where you were from and NOT for you to trace your blood origins.

I mean I am from Central America ( El Salvador) I am light skinned with light hair. Where people ask me where I am from I DONT say

"oh I am 1/2 Mayan Indian and 1/2 Spanish and part Yack"

IF You DONT KNOW! Don't make stuff up !!! PLEASE! you sound silly and desperate.....

Some one just posted a question that has erased all doubts for me about the muslim religion. the quaran talks about Jews. the quaran talks about Jesus. Does the Bible talk about muslims? And does the bible talk about muhammed? Are the two worshipping the same god now after thinking about that?

you yourself seen the unfullfilled prophecy in Bible in previous question.

Quran is the only word of God. Read it for truth.
Remember

There is no God but Allah , Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the messenger of Allah.

Are mormons aware that the "handshakes" and secret passwords and rituals they do in the temple are closely related to satanic rituals? I am not trying to be rude or anything, my best friend is mormon and I love and care about her and her family. I was just wondering about this. What do you think? Thanks!
