I personally do not believe in any particlar day of worship for I do not find that we must go to church or attend worship services on Sundays.

For we are to worship God always.

I attend worhship services on Sundays because that is when Jesus rose from the dead and Scripture also says that after his ressurection his followers worshipped Jesus, and it was on Sunday.

Please understand that i love all people including the people of Islam. But before anyone can come to truth that have to identify the false things as well that appear to be truth. In the christian faith we learn that satan is the author of confusion. I really do not think anyone would disagree with that as we all know satan does not want anyone to come to the truth of God.

My bf and I were asked to take the gifts down for communion and we agreed. My bf was married in a Catholic church and is now divorced. I was told that he wasn't allowed to do that, since he's was divorced. I know he isn't allowed to take communion and he didn't do that. Does anyone know if that is true?

If you picked up a recent best seller and read accounts of people being raised from the dead, walking on water, or the earth ceasing to rotate would you think that the book was fiction or non-fiction.

If Christians are supposed to be?
so understanding and non judgemental why are they so quick to tell those with other beliefs that they are wrong?

What are your favorite hymns/songs? I experienced a tremendous bible study last night and I'm still filled with verses from Psalms, many of which are contained in songs we still sing today. Share as many as you'd like.

From a scientific point of view, we know that first homo-sapiens ( not early humans ) are about 18 to 25 thousand years old. I personally believe thats within reason since cultures like India China, Eygpt, Japanese, and maybe even Inca are around 5500 to 10000 (India, and Eygptian mostly). The historical evidence is all over the world, but what I'd like to know is how old do Evangelicals in fact all conservative christians believe we are.


Oh and by the way I'm Indian so I know my history, we keep records all the way to the early Aryans 10,000 years ago.

1. PICKING UP THE ANIMALS. How did Noah get everything on Earth? Like penguins from the Artic Circle, alligators from North American and Kangeroos from Australia?

2. How did Noah care for thousands of animals with only his family members to help him? How did he keep the climates that each animal needs to survive in tact? Alligators and penguins need totaly different termperatures in which to live.

3. INSECTS. How did Noah know a male mosquito from a female mosquito?

4. ANTS. The bible says that Noah was told by god to pick one male and one female from each species. Well what about species like ants that don't mate like mamals do? Ants (and other insects) have 1 queen and thousands of male mating partners. One male and and one femeal ant would NOT be able to breed following the flood.

5. INCEST. Following the flood, how did the animals breed? One male and one female could have produced offspring but who would those offspring have mated with?

that are secular?

Why move to countries that you know your way of life will not be accepted and certainly will not be the main way of life for the whole.

What gives Muslims the right to come into our countries and force their beliefs and culture down our throats?

You have the right to live as you wish however you do not have the right to come to a country like France, Britain or the U.S.of A and expect us to cow-tow to Islamic beliefs.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do" -- In the USA if a woman wants a drivers license SHE CAN NOT cover her face this is one of our many laws.

Why come to countries where you know you're going to cause chaos?

Is this some kind of plot to bring us down from within?

I have noted many answers which seem to say that given that atheists do not believe in a higher power, that there is no morality.

Query then: Is what is considered Good, good in itself or is it good because God says so? For example, was adultery ok until the 10 commandments were handed down? or even if there was no god, would it still be wrong?
