Okay kids, here's the SKINNY. Rock and roll albums are here to stay, but so is JESUS. He's got a real "BIG ROCK" that's gonna make your head bop and bop! So tune your headphones to the JESUS STATION because there's a real "BIG CHORUS" around the bend?

So guys and girls, are you ready to CHEER? Jesus is all about FAST CLAPS and "GUITAR GRABS". You want a fast trick? REAL STRONG BLAST? Well it's coming! Jesus for A TIME!

"The Bible refers to many the common animals we know today. The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. What is interesting is that this extensive list includes three animals that we no longer recognize. These three are (in the original Hebrew language) tanniyn, b@hemowth (yes, it’s spelled correctly—at least as close as we can get in Roman characters), and livyathan.

Although we alter the spelling of behemoth and Leviathan slightly, we still use those same words in bibles today. However, tanniyn is always translated into another word when we write it in English. Tanniyn occurs 28 times in the Bible and is normally translated “dragon.” It is also translated “serpent,” “sea monster,” “dinosaur,” “great creature,” and “reptile.” Behemoth and Leviathan are relatively specific creatures, perhaps each was a single kind of animal.

A parent can protect their child. A parent can stop their toddler from entering the kitchen alone, where they may be burnt by the flame of the stove. Any good parent would protect their child this way.

However, it's been said that we are all God's children. God, at his level of power, could certainly stop murder, violence, pain, etc. But he does not.

Now, if a child were to enter the kitchen, and the parent were to sit on the couch, watching through the doorway as their child places his curious fingers within the flame of the stove, the parent is considered a bad mother or father; people and society would despise them.

But when God sits by, in Heaven, and watches as murder, violence, pain, etc., occurs, we praise him, and preach his name.

What makes the biological parent a bad person for not protecting their child, and the religious parent (God) worthy of great praise?

They seem to be white,angry overweight pigs whom can't get even a homely guy if they even tried.They also wear long dresses and dress conversatively.While they may be seemingly good-to-uses,I believe,deep down, they are angry at themselves for whom they are and everyone else looks down upon them.

Ans what is your religion?

Des your religion influence your beliefs inthis matter? Do you have a logical reason for your opinion or do you hold it because of some external influence?

Evoulution and the big bang are only therory with no facts to base it off of. God is the one who created every1 and everything and i can prove it with a historic book called the Bible. Plus the fact God created the earth makes much much much more sense than ur long scientific explanations that always seem to end up leaving more ?'s than answers. Who thinks they can prove it? I want to no if any of u can actually prove what u believe because i can w/ God's word. So what about u?

Did you ever have a question regarding religion that you did not ask, out of fear? Maybe it was uncomfortable, or you thought it was a "stupid" question?

I'm a Christian and I have always belived in staying a virgin until I was married. I always thought I would be. I started dating a guy that I met at college and after a few months i ended up giving him oral sex, I feel so bad. I didnt let him do anything to me even though he wanted to. Am I still a virgin? I'm hoping but I dont really think so...I've asked for forgivness and I cant believe how stupid I was and how I messed up my life. It only happened once. A few months later we broke up over unrealted stuff and now I feel even worse about it. I keep thinking God might of caused us to break up because we werent pure. So right now Im dealing with being so heartbroken over the break up and feeling guily. I know God has forgiven me but I cant get past the guilt. And if me and my ex never get back together, I'm worried my future hisband might lose respect for me. Any Christians know of anything that could help me not feel so guilty?

Pretty sick stuff, eh?

Don't they realize that there are better things to do than congregate with people we don't like, pretending to love them? I, for example, love to ask inane questions on R&S. It makes me happy.

have you ever thought that those were the beliefs they were raised with, and there's most likely a religion that would view you as being immoral?

Okay, let's say for a minute, solely for the sake of argument, that we DID evolve from some lower form of life.

In regard to the Bible, let's say a "day" in God's terms may be a million years in our terms...so he creates the animals....then humans, from some lower life form, only millions of years later...

How does evolution destroy the idea of God? Is it not possible that if we did evolve from lower forms, that GOD initiated and oversaw evolution?

if you are going to say that no matter what skeptics say, it only strengthens your faith, then why are even ticked that we are here?
and another thing, if we werent' here on this section, like someone said earlier, the r/s section would become an ingratiating "feel good party". that might sound like a good thing to a christian, but when that happens all logic can be thrown out the window sometimes. No one edifies thoughts of christian glibness better than skeptics. really.
we really are doing you a service.
you should be thanking us.

scientists say existed more than 360 million years ago and went extinct some 80 million years ago, they claimed it was a transitional fossil because it has lobed fins. The ones that have been recently caught are said to have not really changed in all that time from the ones they say lived 360 + million years ago. So, what happened, could you have been any further off base? Proves creation to me.

You can't believe anything this book says.

Matt.27:46,50: "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."

Luke23:46: "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."

John19:30: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."

It is clear to those who study the Bible seriously that Jesus talked about hell more than heaven.

Is Jesus a liar? NO WAY!!

Some people want to know if flames in hell and/or the lake of fire are real. My reply is: WHO CARES? Why go there if it can be avoided????

Right?

Your view on hell and the lake???

P.S. In the book of Revelation, the Bible teaches that hell and hades will be BOTH cast into the lake of fire. So, this tells me that hell and hades will NOT be the final place where the unsaved will end up. The lake of fire is the FINAL non-ending punishment waiting for those who refused to accept the great sacrifice of Jesus and what He did for us on the cross.
