Ego... jealousy... hatred... many things in our everyday lives may be keeping us from being reunited with our Lord. In your opinion, what is it that may be keeping us humans from attaining the God-realization we yearn for? Please keep responses appropriate. Thank you for your time.

Please watch Lee Strobel before commenting. If you don't want to watch that's OK but don't comment.

do not believe in actual evolution, which is taking place as we type and read, or are non-christians using the word evolution to make Christians appear uneducated by using the word to represent man and apes coming from a common ancestor?

.....a historical collection of "life lessons" recorded by very intelligent people over the ages who just did not have the where-with-all to know the causes of the natural or social phenomena they lived or experienced? Isn't the real story behind Adam and Eve simply that our ancient ancestors understood that because humans had weaknesses life would not always be a 'Garden of Eden'? Forget the snakes and the fig leaves. That's just the storyline to convey the real message. Or Noah really experienced a bad earthquake / tidal wave flood and happened to be near his boat? There weren't many meteorologists or seismotologists then, so they ascribed this incredible unknown force to God. The lesson being that when it hits the fan, the prepared (righteous) will survive (be saved). Is it possible to take the literal reading out of the equation, pay attention to the lessons, still believe in God, and still be a ________? What faith would that be?

As I understand it, it was overlaid with gold, and had lots of silver, brass, and precious stones. Seems like it would be worth a fortune today.

In other words, what mechanism do you propose that is in place in organisms to limit changes?

Adam according to the Bible lived 930 years. Man and beast lived much longer than men live today.

Evolutionist insist that the earth is millions of years old and therefore declare that the bible is inaccurate with respect to the actual age of the earth.

Could God have created the earth with the "Appearance of old Age"(millions of years old) just as he Created Adam and Eve with the "Appearance of Age"(Man&Woman)? Adam was formed from the dust of the ground but he came as a man not a new born baby. Therefore the earth would be much younger than it actually appears on the surface. The appearance of old age would be consistent with the "Creation story". God is absolute and can create as he chooses.

"In the beginning God Created the Heavens and the Earth". Genesis 1:1.

I wasn't sure I wanted to check my "announcement" about Russell's death this morning, but I'm glad that I did. I want to thank you all for everything that you said. As much as anything could make me feel better at this point, it did.

I know that we all get a little tense sometimes over religious differences and I'm more guilty of that than anyone else. I think, after all this, that *everyone* here is a good person when it really matters - you don't get 70+ notes of empathy from a board full of bad people. I think, more than anything else, that being a nice person is the most important thing that we can do with our lives, and as such I feel like all of you are wonderful, beautiful people.

I welcome any and all thoughts and prayers (to any deity) and emails that anyone is willing to offer. I still feel very lost, alone, empty, sad, angry, guilty, and pained, which I'm told by the Grief hotline people is "normal". I'm glad for that, I guess, but it doesn't make it feel any better.

He investigated the possibility of Jesus truely being the Christ. He did not believe at first. Did the research to get his wife out of a cult. He's now a Christian. Have you heard of him or his book, "The case for Christ?" By Lee Strobel.

In the eyes of the law, do members of the Church of Satan have the same right to follow their religion as Christians or Jews? I'm not talking about people who wear black robes and sacrifice virgins on an altar, I mean the one started by Anton LaVey.

are you careful to select one who does not believe in evolution? If not, why not? If so, where do you find one? Gotta be rare as hen's teeth.

I mean, you Christians obviously know it's wong, but how do you know if it doesn't say so in the Bible?

"In sixteenth-century Paris, a popular form of entertainment was cat-burning, in which a cat was hoisted in a sling on a stage and slowly lowered into a fire. According to historian Norman Davies, '[T]he spectators, including kings and queens, shrieked with laughter as the animals, howling with pain, were singed, roasted, and finally carbonized.' Today, such sadism would be unthinkable in most of the world."

Perhaps humanity gets its morals from outside of Scripture?

I don't get how that works. Reeincarnation would have to involve an intelligent being that would direct the souls back for another journey. It doesn't make scientific sense to say that the soul floats in the air until some new baby is born and then it goes into the baby. That would make the soul intelligent...It's like meeting an atheist that believes there is a heaven and hell, but no God. How can there be a heaven without a God. There would have to be an intelligent being to create such a thing. Can anyone explain?

Two will be in the laundromat folding clothes, and the building will rupture, and one will be taken and the other left.

It will be only the beginning and calls to 911 will go crazy.

And Jesus shall descend, escorted by forty billion angels blowing trumpets. Atheists will freak out. Meanwhile Jesus' half-cousin Bob will ready the gallows. Ninety-nine percent of humanity will be lynched in one day.

At the great hall Jehovah's Witnesses shall file in and take their seats, all hundred and forty-four thousand of them, behind and above the lecturn.

Then shall Jesus stand and raise the holy salute...

Question: Either you believe in the Rupture or you don't.

Or is the cross merely a symbol? Why do people treat a mere symbol so reverently? What would Jesus think about memorializing the instrument of His death?
