i was thinking about biology in high school. i remember when they taught a lil bit about evolution. and i was like hmmm because my friend at work said that they should teach creationism at school. and i thought to myself, in science class u have to teach stuff that can be put thru much scrutiny and test and test (thats what science is) although not perfect evolution is accepted by a majority of scientists, whereas the basis for chreationism is a book..... theists, make ur point why creastionism should be taught at school. atheists, make the case against it...GO!!

What's a specific event prophesized in the bible that has happened? Could it be explained by anything else? Is it the kind of thing that's bound to happen anyway?

Because for some-reason he has lost all his Omnipotence and has just somehow slipped and faded away into nonexistence. And what if this leaves Satan in Charge and Satan has said to Hell with the insignificant humans he has Heaven and all the angels to run and he no longer cares for Gods little hobby.

It was less than a year ago that the Protestants were wanting the 10 comandments in public view everywhere......Now their theme is that the 10 commandments can be ignored because Jesus said so. They're posting that very thing on this forum. They do have problems holding on to any lasting faith.

This is totally true...

so I had a crush on a guy, he didn't know, Patrick. I took a picture of him accidentally and my friend then blabbed that I'd taken it because I lurved him. and he got a bit touchy and said he didn't like me.

when the pictures came through I was so embarassed I cut it up so nobody would see, (I think I might have stabbed the picture in the heart at one point, I was having an emo moment)
and kind of wished I never had to see him again. we all broke up for the holidays.

I swear that, a month later, my friend rang me and said Patrick had collapsed after a football match, but she didn't know how he died. I had an awfull feeling...

then later we found out he had a medical condition with his heart and had suffered a major corinary attack.

what do you think? I only ask as there is a history of witchcraft and gypsy curses in my family. very distant past though.

Just wondering. I have a very normal life, I have a good job and a loving wife that I wouldn't trade for anything.

I feel like I am hiding things, I feel if people knew they wouldn't want to be around me...I didn't do it but I feel shame.

I grew up in a home filled with violence and an alcoholic father that was abusive beyond belief. We were poor, we moved all the time in rented apartments and homes...I feel shameful for this and I don't know why.

I had fear that I would pass this on to my children. That never happened. I loved them everyday of their lives, they all went to college and are great adults. I love them more than words could ever come close to express. My wife is wonderful, we have never had problems, we are both people of peace, love and comfort. My life is a far cry from what it once was.

anyone else???or just me

I am reposting this scripture.

Revelation Chapter 2 Chapter summary ( For you people who say this scripture is not there please just go to chapter 2 in revelation and read the first paragraph) It is in the bible try looking and not being ignorant because you see the word Mormon. We are children of Christ so try commenting like one:)

It says- He that overcomes shall gain eternal life, avoid the second death, inherit the Celestial kingdom, and rule many kingdom's.

Why do you suppose it refer's to a Celestial Kingdom? That would mean a higher kingdom?

Why do you suppose it add's that you could be a ruler over many kingdom's? Maybe you could become a GOD? hmmm

I promise everyone that if they read this and pray to God asking him in the name of Christ if this is the truth he will manifest it predicated upon your faith in Christ.

Seem's that Mormons may have the right idea.

Do a Google Search for yourself. You find a lot of sites defending why they don’t have charities but you don’t find them supporting anything other than themselves.

Doesn’t it seem like atheism just another word for narcissism?
