There is a massive amount of miracles that must occur even for the tiniest part of evolution to have happened. I have yet to see where someone has shown the logic of it occurring or the proof that it did occur. Just one example: In order for even the simplest cell to form there must be the right amino acids, sugars, purines, pyrimidines, sugars, and phosphoric acid. These need to come in just the right dose with just the right amount of energy and at just the right time. Furthermore, with oxygen in the atmosphere wouldn't these substances all oxidize? And without oxygen, life would not be able to function for lack of an ozone layer to shield harmful radiation from the sun? I don't mind a friendly debate as long as it is about the facts of each theory and not about my lack of intelligence. I don't think many evolutionists have been exposed to creationist thinking as much as creationists have been exposed to evolutionist thinking.

Gen 3:7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

A Parable to Consider

There used to be a place, where there were 200 different, individual towns.

One day, the mayor called a town meeting, requiring that everyone attend. At this meeting the mayor gave a speech, stating that he was the creator of the town. Not only was he the creator of there fine city, but every other of the 200 towns in the land. That he did it with the help of none. Now no one could argue with this fact, for everyone live elsewhere at the time the town was built. He also said that he loved everyone that lived in his town and the other of the 199 different towns. That he loved each person more than they can comprehend. He was not done with his speech just yet, he went on to say that he has ultimate power, can do whatever he wanted, prevent whatever he wanted, he even knows what we are going to do before we do it. He knows our life from birth to death before we are even born. “Everything that happens, happens for a reason” The mayor stated. Then all he asked of the people to do was to accept everything he said. Accept him for being everything he said. “Hold your arms up if you know the things that I have said to be true” he told the crowd. Everyone, but one, held their arms in the air. When the mayor saw this he approaches the young man who did not hold his arms up.
“Why do you not hold your arms up?” he asked the man. “Do you not believe the things that I have said today?”
“Yes” said some of the people around him. “What he says is true. I would stake my life on it.”
The young man replied “No, I do not. How am I supposed to believe the things you have told me? Where is the proof?”
“Proof, you want proof? He is my proof” He said, while pulling out a book. Now everyone in town knew of this book, where in it states that everything that the mayor said today was true. That he created the towns himself. That he has ultimate power and ultimate love.
The young man responded “I have read that book, but I do not believe it to be true. I don’t agree with some of the ideas in it. With your ultimate power you should understand that some people just will not agree with what it or you have to say.”
The mayor looked at the young man sadly and said “This is very troubling. You have not the faith in me. After everything that I have given you, you do not believe in me.”
“I earned those things myself.” The young man stated. “The job I have is due to me working hard and going to college. If I did not go to college I would not have the job I have today. My wife was not given to me. I earned her respect and love myself. Nothing I have was given to me.”
“I am the mayor, which makes me the giver of all” the mayor exclaimed. “It says it the book, and the book is fact.”
“I am sorry; I just cannot believe what you have said today.” The young man stated. “I have been to many of the different towns, and they all have a different mayor, with a different book. The townspeople in those towns are like the ones in this very town. They have no doubt that there mayor is the ultimate creator. Why are they wrong?”
“They are wrong, have been guided in the wrong direction.” He said poetically. “If they would just open there hearts they will know that what I say is true and that the other mayors are wrong.”

“I can’t believe any of them. I guess I will just have to wait to see.” He said.
“You need to tell me now” the mayor said, “if you accept me as the ultimate creator of this and all the other towns. If you do you will feel my love and your life will be forever change.”
“No” was all the young man says.
“Well if you do not accept me, then your fate is decided.” The mayor says, turning away from him. “You shall be taken from here, away from your family and friends, to a place where you shall spend forever in pain and agony. You will be suffering for all time, unspeakable amounts of pain, for not accepting me as the ultimate creator.”
“Wait a minute,” the young man shouts. “I thought you had ultimate love, that you loved me more than I can comprehend. What you are about to do is not love? There is no way that you could love me and still send me away to be in pain forever.”
“I still love you,” the mayor says “but I do not care why you did not believe in me, you just needed to accept me. And since you don’t, I wash my hand of you. Take him away” he told his guards.
The guards dragged him away, to be tortured forever.
After he was gone the remaining townspeople praised him as the greatest, the most loving, and knelt to him. Even after what they saw, they stilled worshipped him. Can you guess who the mayor is?

Why are they do rude? I mean, I was just reading someone's post about a passage in Leviticus and everyone that didn't believe in the Bible or God was absolutely rude. I mean, if I want to make a statement, I try and get others to join my line of thinking...these people were just down right rude (could not possibly get anyone to listen)?

I'm sure Christians aren't the only people who know how to act nicely and behave...but why is it that those against Christianity feel as though they have to be hateful in order to speak about it?

parents? If a child asks for a fish, the parent will not hand them a stone, will he? Why did Jesus say; those who live by the law, will die by the law?
To err is human, to forgive is Divine.

I'm not sure what religion I am, there's so many...

I believe that all the sincere religions, ancient and present, are worshipping the same God just in different beliefs that were created by man. We came from the same being afterall, but when we populated and became diverse the concept of God became so many different things. Maybe we're all wrong?

What in the world is a trinity...... NEVER has there been anything inside the bible that states that there is a TRINITY or what ever most christians would say the famous THREE IN ONE thingy. People, read precept by precept and you will actually Understand what your preacher does not, that there is no such thing as a TRINITY!!! Except that there is a God the Only Begotten son and the Holy Spirit.


O yeah.....Next episode, THE RAPTURE!!!!

This is for Mormons. Think open minded for a minute and please answer my questions. I try to ask these questions your guys on bikes, but they tend to beat around the bush. Okay,
1. Do you really beleive that there is more than one god and that one day you will become your own god with your own planet? Why and why don't you tell this to the people you witness to?
2. The book of mormon was only translated less than 200 years ago. It claims to have been translated one character at a time by john smith with his stone and looking in to his hat. You know who long that would take?
3. The book of mormon has been revised over 4000 times, and not for grammer either. One example, in early versions of the book of mormon, it taught that people with dark skin were cursted. In recent times dark skinned people are accepted and are part of the congregation. How can you change something that was said less than 200 years ago and was said to have been directly from god.
Thanks

According to one of my dearest friends after the rapture all the non believers will be doing sins to the extreme! You'll be having huge orgies in the streets and drugs and alcohol will be consumed to the maximum. By accepting the mark of the beast you'll get to do
anything sinful. You'll be allowed to buy anything and even the ugliest will be transformed by science into the most beautiful.
Of course it won't last long and you'll certainly pay for it unless.....
