Do you think there are still many species we don't know of?
It's nice, I thought the "discovery" period was over. Seems not.
700 new species?!

There are hundreds of laws within the Old Testament alone. There are many verses in the Bible that state that God's law is perfect. Isaiah 40:8
Psalms 19:7

So therefore, God's law should stand forever, never changing. Wouldn't that lead us to conclude that there is no need for a New Testament?

If so, then which laws are meant to be followed in the Old Testament? If God's law is perfect, then shouldn't they all be perfect as well? Never changing, and lasting for all time?
What about the ones which are not exactly moral?
Such as if you blaspheme the name of God, you should be out to death- Lev. 24:16
If you commit adultery, you should be put to death- Leviticus 20:10
If you engage in a homosexual act, you should be put to death- Leviticus 20:13
If you have a rebellious son, he should be out to death- Deut. 21

The question that I have is, why would God's law change if it has always been perfect, and how do you know which laws to follow?

I follow Christ. I believe in all that the Gospel teaches. I follow His commandments. I am by no means perfect but I strive for perfection. If that does not make me a Christian then what am I?

It's kind of like the abusive parent who "loves" her children. If I do something wrong, I get walloped for it big time. If I do something wrong in the eyes of god, I spend eternity in a burning pit of hell.

Isn't it obvious that God would not be afraid of dying before he was crucified? Why would God put his life in the hands of Mary and Joseph to protect Him from Herod? To avoid having to do the whole thing over again? To avoid having to find another Virgin Mary and descendant of David?

The main one is that Romans took Christianity and changed it so it would be good for them therefore the true Bible is gone and Christinity ain't true anymore...

PS Does anyone think that Popes were the bad guys in the movie, they wanted to kill everyone who knew the truth... Why did people sympathise when the Albion guy died.... He was a killer and killed in the name of Bible...

And why do the Popes live a lie when they know it is a lie???

Early on it has Abraham trying to kill his son, and closes with God succeeding in killing his right before destroying the entire world.

How can you be against the death penalty and yet be pro choice.
Your saying its not ok to put to death a murder,but its ok to kill a innocent baby who hasn't done anything.

I read this article at www.carm.org but I dont know if I agree with it or not. Ive always thought Catholics are a part of Chrisitanity.What do think about a section of this article?Do you agree ?What is your opinion? Please understand that it is not my intention to offend anyone with this

If a Roman Catholic believes in the official Roman Catholic teaching on salvation, then he is not a Christian since the official RCC position is contrary to scripture. Therefore, as a whole, Roman Catholics need to be evangelized. They need to hear the true Gospel. They need to hear that they are not made right before God by being in a church, or by being baptized, but by receiving Christ (John 1:12), believing that Jesus has risen from the dead (Rom. 10:9), and that justification is by faith (Rom. 5:1) and not by our deeds (Rom. 4:5). It is only true faith that results in true works (James 2), not the other way around. Roman Catholics, like anyone else, need to trust in Jesus alone

Surely my soul would have existed before life itself so how can I believe in God? Faith is useless.....try telling the starving masses to keep faith in Africa when you know there is no light at the end of the tunnel for them other than suffering and death.

does anyone think it's a subconscious effort to kind of get their own back on the Christians for all the terrible tortures that Christians carried out in the middle ages. And all the atrocities that the church carried out in the name of religion?
What does everyone else think.
I have this real loathing for Christians and I wonder if it's to do with all the books I have read on the middle ages etc.

I just finished reading the new Testament and in Ephesians chapter 3 or 4 is talks about being only One faith, one Baptism and One Lord...

So how do I know which one is God's church?

We've a reoccuring comment here where scientists got together for a vote on evolution, and another where Darwin recanted on his deathbed (never happened) and similar lies that can be shown to be lies with a 30 second websearch. I ask for a source and never get them.

So, um, when creationists lie, are they just making it up or are they parroting what another person says?

Aren't most of them Christian? Aren't Christians not supposed to bear false witness?

I think I heard somewhere that God was using the pharaoh Ramases to his advantage because he knew he was evil. I think I heard that God came to Ramases and told him what he was going to do and that he was then to let his people go and that this story would be living on and on. Am i right with any of this? I'm so confused. HELP!~

If we are God's children, shouldn't we resemble Him in our capabilities for love? Why do we only love our friends?

Parents are proud when their children look like them. But parents grieve when their children don't inherit their values. Which is more important, to look like your parents, or to resemble them in character?

Matt 5:43-48
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.

For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Genesis is, after all, the first of the books of Moses. Are there Jewish creationists? Or do they regard it as a metaphor? Or something else? I'm curious, but I'm shy of asking my co-worker who is Jewish.

"For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it."
