[After posting the above]First, it is inappropriate for you to dismiss the [conservative] theologians I mention out of hand. You admittedly know nothing about them. I’ve debated quite a bit, but you have shown me a new tactic that I won’t forget (albeit a poor one): discrediting my sources out of hand while deifying your own sources.
I believe that witchcraft is real. Before I came to the Lord I practiced black magic, mind control and transcendental meditation... All of these powers are linked directly to demonic spirits. I had actual conversations with demons.
Hence, [St.] Augustine was able to believe, despite what scripture says, that God created all things instantaneously. Once a person goes that far in his 'interpretations' he might as well join Bishop Spong in that person's assertion that 'the only part of the Apostle's Creed I believe is that Jesus Christ died and was buried'. With Christian 'friends' like that who needs enemies?
God did not take the lives of the Egyptian firstborn unjustly and no one can argue that He didn't give them plenty of warning.
so what the fact is its not right people should not allowed to do things that are not right ....and they deffinetly should be able to feel pain if they get pregnant contraceptives should not be allowed...
fox news is fair and balance it supports both liberal and conservative viewpoints equally and it shows how liberal leaning other outlets are twilly spree you are supporting the death of thousand of children repent or suffer the dire consequences
This means that a person who believes we descended from apes or that all life came from a primitive protocell is inventing their own private version of Christianity which in a technical sense is not the Christianity of the Bible. This does not mean that their belief in Jesus Christ will not save them. It simply means that they are compromising with the world and in that sense could be said to not be genuine Christians.
i dont beleive in greek i beleive in english but there is no undisputed translation even the original greek is fought over so why should i spend more time... when you got hell for being homosexaul what will you do then...
...most evolutionists are too intellectually lazy and dishonest to represent their opponents correctly...
You didn't expect me to be 'sexist' and reply in a different manner to your silly attack because you're female (and likely blonde) did you? And under your evolutionary system, why not be sexist? Darwin and most of his evolutionary contemporaries were very sexist. Conversely, the Biblical Christianity is the only philosophy that has provided true liberation for women, but you come here to attack it.
One day an anti-creationist might surprise us all and actual respond to an actual argument instead of a straw man.
[After ancient Sumerian secular marriages are mentioned]if it were a ecenomic arragment it wouldnt be called marriage
God does not, nor will not use medication to heal fear, depression, hopelessness, or to bring peace, and your proclamation that He does only solidifies the fact that you believe in another God, and another Jesus.
mhm gay marriage is not a right marriage is a religious thing your yourself being a atheist should have no want for anything to do with marriage you being a atheist should know that homosexaulity makes those people not causing population so they should deserve no rights....
Gallup's 1991 poll showed that 95% of scientists (including non-biologists) accept evolution, with biologists above 99%.
You realize this is classic argumentum ad populum, don't you?
Christianity is growing rapidly in places like Asia and Africa. Atheism is irrational, illogical, incoherant and existentially self-destructive.
The gospels aren't good evidence of Jesus' life and death? Saying it doesn't make it so. Prove ithat the gospel accounts aren't historically reliable..
Because there is so much evidence for His existence (and also His Resurrection btw) that to question it is comparable to questioning the existence of JFK.
Whether some [old earth] creationists 200 years in the past came to the wrong conclusion about the age of the Earth has no bearing on the truth of the matter.
Are you going to argue that these people [the Apostles] DIED terrible deaths based on some second hand information that they couldn’t verify? Please.

Atheists See No Problem With Human To Animal Sex
If God is our creator shouldn't he have ultimate authority over how long someone is in Hell? You or I may not like it but that doesn't matter... I personally think that if God said to me that he changed his mind and all Christians are going to Hell as well as non-believers I think he is just to do so. Am I an evil man for thinking that?
C'mon all you God forsaking faithless 'Christians', dispute my evidentiary post that clearly proves God's claims [that medication shouldn't be taken for mental illness]. I realize the bible is not enough of a source, but lets try and humor God for a minute and see if He knows anything about the heart & mind!
Not necessarily, because freshwater is less dense and is KNOWN to be able to float on saltwater for a long time.
To approve one sexual abomination is to give way on all... I am also frightened by a few small interest groups of no morality whatever, who can't figure out what their sex organs are designed for, who are morally degraded at worst or meentally ill at best imposing their world view.
Deuteronomy 22:13-21 is about the punishments for a wife being promiscuous before marriage [stoning] and a husband lying about it. Of course, the skeptics' anachronistic objection here is that... such punishments are considered 'unfair' or 'cruel.'
A monkey brain is a monkey brain and a human brain is a human brain. I have seen no evidence that a monkey brain is evolving into a human brain.
Simply adopting the values you find around you is a pretty irrational way to determine what the universe is, how we should live, etc. Atheists would make good Nazis; good communists; good little anythings, really. What they don't do is adopt a rational evaluation of all this.
What I am implying is that by forcing homosexuality into the 'norm', homosexuals have opened the door for a multitude of other abnormal behaviors, including pedophilia. And if you think it could never happen, it was accepted practice in greece for a LONG time. I'm sure you're proud to help out your NAMBLA brethren.
If you mean, why have no mammals been found in the Cambrian strata, they must have not lived in there or they did not fossilize.
[Replying to 'you need serious help']If you are serious, it only means that you are a bigot
For example, without Scripture you have no way of determining the nature of the universe.
Psalm 139:13 finds David specifically stating that God knits us together in our mother's womb. This is clearly an statement against any theistic version of evolution. How can humans be knitted together in the womb is we evolved from lower life forms?
It isn't surprising though. The atheist knows without evolution they have no argument. So they will freely pervert science and ad hom the critics because they can't silence them any other way.
Also, evolution undermines the biblical teaching that humanity is ONE RACE because we are all descended from Adam...
Atheism... How unoriginal. How easy. One can believe in nothing or anything. Nothing to defend, everthing to defend. Backed into a logical corner - change your position or deny the laws of logic... They worship the scientific priest class and call themselves free thinkers. Free thinkers who are bound by cultural bias and their own uninformed and small world. Yet they rail against anything that does not conform to their small mindedness. No hope and nothing beyond the material. Yes the easiest world view ever invented by man,but also the saddest...
As long as evolutionists deny their theory is a theory and point out ID or whatever is bunk, people like me will pester them til they drop.
Lots of things are banned that people do in private and we aren't putting cameras in their homes to catch them, so that's just more leftist hyperbole. At the very least, an outright ban on homosexuality would force homosexuals to keep their sexuality to themselves instead of flaunting it in front of everyone and it would prevent them from using the captive audience of our public school systems to poison the minds of our children.
A common atheistic device is to list aberrant scholars that are so liberal that they don’t really believe the Bible (or know the Bible) and use their statements to help their cases.
President Bush is right to call for a Constitutional amendment... The Homosexuals are out of control and they should be put in jail for civil disobedience, along with the mayors and judges who have permitted this disgrace called Homosexual marriage to go on for the past few weeks. Fellow believers, please pray for our country. We have become Sodom and Gomorrah and I beg God to have mercy on us. Amen.
Many states in the early years of our country had requirements that anyone holding office had to be a Christian. It wasn't until the courts started reading into the Constitution things that it does not say that this changed, thus leaving us in the mess we are in today...
[When someone replies 'That's sick!']About as sick, I'll wager, as I feel everytime I see a couple of homos kissing. The truth is offensive to many. This comes as no surprise, particularly to a self-professed, bible-thumping, fundamentalist like myself.
[Re: whether homologous organs can be used as evidence of either evolution or ID, 'Why wouldn't he have designed eyes for his favorite species, as good as eagle's or squid's eyes?']
So you could understand the parallel when He says in a spiritual sense, blind man you are in danger of falling in the pit
I appreciate your recommendation, and it is intriguing, but as a pro-lifer, I cannot support an organization that is opposed to the death penalty.
But Gay Marriage is not a right Marriage itself is a religious ceremony... I doubt gay people could be religious anyway...
A couple weeks back, I was at the video store and considered renting the Muppets' (a kids' show) "Wizard of Oz" (a kids' story). I decided against it - actually, I now believe God put it on my heart to avoid it. Now I know why. The Disney Channel (a kids' channel) ran the movie tonight and I couldn't believe that they felt it necessary to dump some blatant sexuality into it! In the scene where the characters first meet the Wizard, they all go in individually and the Wizard uses his machines or whatever to appear as something different to each of them. To the Cowardly Lion (Fozzy), he appeared as a dragon to scare him. To the Scarecrow (Kermit), he appeared as a firey face that spit fireballs. Then we come to the Tinman (Gonzo). As with the plain Gonzo, the Tinman has a chicken as a girlfriend. So what do the people who made this movie have the Wizard appear as to him? Yes, a chicken... eventually. First, they had him appear as a scantily clad, curvaceous woman with a "sexy" demeanor and voice. What. The. Foosball? Exactly how is that appropriate content for kids? Rhetorical question - IT"S NOT! I am glad God pushed me away from that video at the store. I don't want my kids exposed to such garbage.
Oh, yes. Let the "you're overreacting" and "you're a prude" talk begin now. Five words I can say to those kinds of responses: take 'em and shovel 'em.
The tragedy is that marriage is a particular thing. It's not something that changes with differing cultures or ideologies.
God could have accelerated nuclear decay during the flood as a mechanism for generating tectonics. He could have accelerated decay just from his creative process on forming the earth. Also the curse could have effected nuclear decay. The are ways of explaining the same data within a literal Genesis framework without resorting to ad hoc theories void of scriptural support.
That's because you've been brainwashed by pro-homosexual propaganda to view any disagreement with homosexuality and the radical agenda of homosexuals to be 'anti-homosexual.'
