The church elders are not in anyone's business. This is a belief of the church period. I can do whatever I want, because in the end, it is between me and God. I don't want to do oral sex because it just seems degrading and disrespectful to both man and woman. I won't judge you, so don't judge me and my church's beliefs. Oral sex is apart of sodomy. Those mystery juices don't belong in your mouth.
Where Does the "Big Bang Theory" say the animals got their names?
The Bible says that God brought the animals to Adam for him to name in Genesis 2:19. By naming all of the animals, Adam demonstrated that he was master over them, as God gave man dominion over all of his creatures.
Biblical Examples
The Bible indicates that when someone names another person or thing, it shows that he has power over them. For example, you'll find the Pharaoh renaming one of the kings of Judah.
Then Pharaoh Necho made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah, and changed his name to Jehoiakim (2 Kings 23:14).
There is also the episode of the Babylonians renaming Daniel and his three friends when they were brought captive to Babylon (Daniel 1).
Anyway, my point is, that our God is a God of order. Scripture even says by the mouth of God himself that "Let all things be done decently and in order. 1 Cor 14:40. The account of Creation was done exactly as written. Creation is a fact, It has already occured and God, Elohim the creator and sustainer of all life is maker of all things! He is INDESCRIBABLE! God says Adam, the first man named all creatures. What do the other theories say about where we got names for the creatures? Does anyone have that type of information? Christians have the Word of God which I can confidently say is the truth concerning all things. If you want the truth, The Holy Bible is where to find it. God bless!
For Atheists - why are we not gorillas!?
It's pretty late, and this isn't my most well thought out question ever, but this might shake the tree of some light-weights.
If evolution is supposed to constantly move organisms towards greater complexity and ability to survive. And if we decended from a common-ancestor like the gorillas. Then why aren't we like gorillas? I mean having the intelligence of a human in a gorilla body would be great. You'd be much stronger and more agile etc.
[Re: If God created this world, why do people think that the world was here 4.5 Billion years ago?]
in the 40's and 50's it was thousands of years
the 60's and 70's it went to millions
80's and 90's it went to billions
and now in the 2000's i have heard them say trillions
they will say anything to get government funding
and the government enjoys anything but the Truth .
[Bible says the sky is a dome? but we recently figured that out.?]
Science is slowly catching up to the bible.
Science just figured out the earth was round 400 years ago. The bible stated that it was a sphere 3500 years ago.
I suppose you think the sky is blue too, dont you... Its not.
Atheists, do you know how to use logic?
You are looking for evidence of god. Here it is. Everything.This world, the stars, the beginning of time, humans,animals, bugs, sun etc. Do you think all this had its beginnings in some cosmical speckles of dust?
That's dumb.
[How come atheists on here never attack Hinduism, Wicca, Islam etc. they always go after Christianity?]
"Because Christianity is the most intelligent of all belief systems and it is the only true belief system and atheists are terrified of the fact that it is true and consider Christianity a threat. Christianity is a threat to every other belief system that humans have invented to destroy worship of the one true God, His Spirit and his Son, our Savior Christ.
Jesus Himself warns in John 15, that society would not kiss up and that people would indeed hate Christians and even the church would be so Pharisaical it would seek to burn alive the genuinely devout.
So until Christ returns to clean house, there will never be a love affair between non-believers and Jesus."
Likewise, the anti-theist attempts to stamp out religion have failed. Alas, they continue to try.
Are we really that different?
Emmy, then my comment does not refer to you. It refers to those who have and still attempt to presecute and condemn religious people with the ignorant assumption that intellect and logic will somehow convince us all we are misguided.
What hope does atheism offer?
In light of the word "hope" being used so much during this years elections, I was wondering...
What hope does atheism truly offer humanity?
I mean no disrespect to my fellow atheist's on the R&S. It's just that, I understand that different faiths offer hope is many different ways. As a born-again Christian I have the hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ. But to be honest atheism, as it pertains to giving hope, is an enigma to me.
You WON'T BELIEVE THIS!!! I found an entire document that dissproves evolutionary evidence and supports the 'intelligent design' / creation viewpoint. Go to www.answersbook.org and TyPE in CHapter 92. (real, scientific evidence). It shocked me!!! HOW does evolution explain this?! Also has quotes from TOP scientists (incl. Einstein and Newton) that show that even THEY doubt the realism of evolution... It's probability of happening is like 1 in [a number followed by like a million billion something zeroes].
CAN WE RISK IT??? If evolution/ big bang really is incorrect, can we ignore the possibility that God may actually exist? Meaning we're risking our eternities and the possibility of ending up in hell?
Scientists are humans with flaws and shortcomings just like us. No one can say they are 100% correct.
HITLER WAS A BELIEVER IN EVOLUTION.
They've disproved the "embryonic recapitulation" theory (which used to support evolution") BUT they KEEEP printing it in bio textbooks for students!!! ??
I'm starting to REALLY doubt this theory..... YOUR IDEAS???
[Why do christians think they control marraige when people still have to get a marriage license from the state?]
Marriage between a man and woman is symbolic with the relationship between a believer and Jesus Christ. It is not to be tainted.
[Why did God create trillions of planets that serve no purpose?
There are trillions of planets that will never be capable of sustaining life...why did he create them?]
They are an expression of his glory. He wants us to look at how small we are, how big the universe is, and be amazed that God is even bigger.
If people wanted gay marriage to be legal, shouldn't they make polygamy marriages legal too?
In the sense of "freedom", shouldn't they make Polyandry and incest marriages legal also? what about inter-species marriage or what if I wanted to marry a tree?
[When did the impression occur that our Founding Fathers are Christian?]
Answer - they were BElievers.....why are you quoting them....this isnt history?
it wont make you any less a sinner getting death for it..
I don't hate anyone. Homosexuality just turns my stomach. It’s the natural reaction to something clearly not of God. The Bible will answer all of your questions.
It doesn't matter whether homosexuality is innate or by choice.
I believe that some homosexuals are born that way.
I was born a sinner... just like some are born gay.
Gays are like any other Christian in that they are sinners.
We are only saved through Faith in Jesus King of Kings.
Our Sins become white as snow.
The problem with most Gays is that they celebrate rather than repent of their sin. Ever hear of someone reveling in murder and thievery? It’s an abomination that occurs seldom. "Gay Pride" is an outright stance against God.
Like I said...I was born a sinner... just like some are born gay. However I do not participate in "Sin Pride" parades.
May you and all of your gay buddies become gay Christians.
God Bless You.
Why are most of the Atheist I've met are lacking love in them and most had a bad experience in their childhood?
Is that the reason they are angry with God and religious people. And have become thick and dont want to listen to anyone? And then they stopped relying on God and thought of making things work on their own. Thats fine if they did that but they should not make people like them who are already happy being religious and are proud to be following their religion.
Atheists: Even if you did know there was a God, wouldn't you still deny Him?
Like, you guys just cannot accept that there is a superior being to yourselves who made you controls every aspect of your life.
Even if the gates of heaven opened up before your very eyes and God himself appeared on his throne surrounded by his angels, you would try and convince yourself you were high and having some sort of hallucination, right?
Since gay marriage should be banned because God doesn't agree, should we go through the bible ?
and make laws against everything God hates?
Personally I'll be happy when I can't have sex until I get married, and absolutely everyone will have to be a christian.
If one does not believe in God, how do you know the difference between good an evil?
I truly believe that man is a selfish, self centered being at his core. If you do not believe in God, why not rob, steal, kill and so forth to make your time here on this planet as pleasant for yourself as possible. After all, there are no permanent consequences for your actions. No Heaven or Hell.....so why not?
Why do so many people question God? Is it not obvious God is all around us? I mean he created this universe and us in his image. Is that not enough evidence for you? What about sending his beloved son to die on the cross so sinners like us would have a shot at getting into heaven? Is that not evidence either? For me I have my faith in God and can't wait to see what heaven is like. I can't wait to live in my mansion and walk the lovely streets of gold.
Burning the Book of Mormon? Is this how homosexuals repond to fair voting on the Prop. 8?
Homosexuals really show their true color of arrogance by protesting and objecting to a fair vote by the people.Whinning and stumping your foot like a spoiled child is so immature.Now the burning of the Book of Mormon! The Black's vote has a great part in your loosing your "marriage" too, but you homo don't have the guts to complain about blacks do you?
[Does anyone take the book of levitcus seriously?
What is the point of the book of leviticus ( apart form giving atheist endless material to mock christains with)]
it happened...its historical......maybe you should quit mocking since it upsets God....He is your judge.....you gain nothing good from hatred..
[How old were you when you decided that Zeus wasn't real?
How about other gods?]
I have always knew that Zeus wasn't real and that there is only one god and that is the God of the bible Jehovah.
[For those who say that a certain theory is not fact, did you know that the effects of gravity is a theory?]
Gravity is proven.Drop an apple and it falls.It is not a belief that seeks to destroy the Bible.
Evolution is a BELIEF system that goes against the Bible and God,that is why we reject it.The proof shows Evolution never happened.
Funny thing about the Bible?
I may have been written by many men, but if you look at it closer every verse points to one thing, the glory of God. different men yet the message remains straight, That's why it was called, oh i don't know...God Inspired.Plus wouldn't it be better to read a history book written by many men, than just 1. And yet people call it a book of "Fairy Tales". Bible is so true, make me kinda giggle a little bit in how true it is. PRAISE BE TO GOD.
Why do Catholics confuse their belief with Christianity?
Christians follow Jesus Christ that makes them Christians, right?
But Catholics follow "Saints & Virgins" that make them catholic, right?
Can someone please enlighten me without insults?
Atheists bring no good to this world. They deserve to be buried in mass graves.
Creation scientists do have a creation model. Creation scientists are a much scientists as Evolution are. In fact, Many branches of science were founded by Creation scientists. So without Creationists there would be no science.
YES WE KNOW HES HALF-BREED/MULATO HOW CAN WE FORGET
The Blacks are preparing for the civil war against whites, aided by the traiterous dems.
Hussein Obama is Anti-American/liberal and not even a real American.
Hussein was elected by Blacks because he is Black.
Blacks are racist. Thats the effect it proves.
White ppl voted for a Black man, but all Blacks will only vote for a Black or half-Black.
Now whos racist?
Sure one or two Whites might be racist but this vote proves that ALL Blacks and half-Blacks are.
Now if ur white and dont give blackpeople your job you will be taken to court.
Patriotism wil be illegal soon. This country will be at war thnx to blacks/dems

Not too many people are aware of the Georgia guidestones as evidenced by the response thus far.
it talks about the fall of the world in Revelations...how a Muslim takes over in one of the most powerful countries...and guess what...look here...Obama is Muslim.
I’m sure that the Jews don’t mind to let the prostitutes go to Heaven first as long as they are there when they get there! So if you have a choice of favoring a prostitute, a gay or lesbian person, or a Jew which one would you choose??? Hint: WWJD?

He it is who created the atmosphere for us to breathe. He it is who created all good vegetation for us to eat, plus the fowl and other animals which we partake of daily. He it is who created the beautiful atmosphere in which we live, and which we, with our own hands, mutilate and destroy for lack of proper guidance. Scientist love tampering with the original food God creates and tell you that Scientist food is better than Gods food. Atheist why is it your science can match the food God put here for us. People are getting sicker and sicker and its all because scientist are tampering with our food. Please don’t respond by saying we are living longer due to diet this is such a false accusation and its been debunked several times. We are living longer due to advances in sanitation less war and for the fact that we keep our loved ones alive on machines. After they took out all of these things the conclusion was that we are not living longer
Science thinks it’s healthy to take the fat out of the milk
Science thinks it’s healthy to take the yolk out of the egg
They think its health to take the skin of the chicken
They think it’s healthy to genetically modify so many food when its not
Im an expert at health and since they are wrong about Health blantly wrong its obvious they are wrong about Evolution .
Hussein Obama won????!!!!!!!!!! Will America as we know it be DESTROYED with COMMUNISM?
Hussein Obama's economic polices will DESTROY America. This is not Canada or western Europe. America has always been about freedom and democracy. Now Hussein wants to STEAL money from hardworking people and give it to lazy poor people that don't take care of themselves.
Wake up, America. By voting for Hussein Obama we could all DIE.
Hussein Obama may let Iran develop NUCLEAR weapons. Iran wants to attack Israel. We could get dragged into NUCLEAR war and BILLIONS may die because of this.
Hussein Obama is going to CRIPPLE the economy. The best way to grow the economy is to give tax breaks to rich people because they will then decide to give raises to low level employees and they will also invest more money and this will lead to more job openings.
As Sarah Palin said, this is NO time to EXPERIMENT with SOCIALISM. Communist Russia tried SOCIALISM under murderer Joseph Stalin and it didn't work.
Do you think America as we know it will be undone?
i think faster than light speed is possible, but some weirdo by the name of einstein said that the speed of light is as fast as you can go, meaning that 186,000 mps(or whatever it is) is the fastest something with no mass can travel, i say poppycock

s there a way for real americans to vote for a president?
ok guys i already tried asking this question but to many ppl didnt take it for serious. what im trying to say is like this. the presidant of our country is a muslim man and a known terrorist this is not ok. we might all die and i dont want to die and nither do you guys. and i know what some of you people are gonna say that its a democracy and ppl voted. of course i know what a democracy is our brave founding fathers invented it, and it is why america is so great!!! GO USA. but back to my point, the only reason obama one is because the illegal citizen mexicans voted for him, and they dont have much school so they dont know better, and the black who make up 80% of american population also voted for them, and they also dont have to much schooling, so they are not inteligent enough to realize that he is muslim and a terrorist when the cia has prooved it many times. so is there a way for the real americans for us to get together and go to our local city halls and governners mansions, and talk to the city hall managers and governners about voting for john mccain what is what the americans actually want. the last time i asked this people called me a racist so i want to be very clear about it. I AM NOT RACIST AT ALL. I LOVE BLACK PEOPLE A LOT! if you go on my itunes i have so much christ rock, and bernie mac, i think black people are good and funny, and i like the wierd way they talk, im not BEING A RACIST, im just conserned about our SAFETY!! ps all the politicians reading this, please leave a comment and tell us about what the laws says about this!! THNX!!!
(Go to the URL. He pretty much claims anyone who thinks Obama isn't a Muslim needs Jesus. He even claimed I, Josh Only in the link, was a Muslim Terrorist because I didn't think Obama was...)
it's absolutely horrible - terminating pregnancies! i think with abortion gone, there would be less teenage pregnancies, because teens would be more careful. they would think "okay, i have to watch myself because this time, i dont have abortion to lean on."
If it not for the fact that I will have to suffer too, I would take joy in all the Obama supporters getting what they asked for. Us McCain supporters saw it coming.
Who realizes that Obama is our first MUSLIM president? NOT BLACK!?
GOOD JOB! WELL..I did my part. I voted McCain. I don't want to hear ANY complaining when the President to you idiotic people fails miserably. Get ready to be backstabbbed! Because he doesn't care about whites, he doesn't care about latinos, and he definitely does NOT care about blacks! I can't wait to see him throw affirmative action out as his first step..LOL!
(re: What if you had a gay/lesbian son/daughter..)
If he is gay, I'll get him testosterone shots.
If she is a lesbian, I'll get her estrogen shots.
Problem solved!
Well our country was founded on Christianity. That sets the standards of our Human race. Our reason for being here on earth. Now Marriage is apart of our Human culture all around the world even African Villages have marriages Between a man and a women. I have no hatred towards Homosexuals but as for believing in it no. You can not believe in the Holy Bible which is Gods words and believe in Gay marriage. He destroyed Sodom and Gamore because he does not accept homosexuality and he said it is a mortal sin. So if you believe in God and his words and think it is ok for same sex marriages then you are calling God a liar and you are technically committing a sin as well. and as for us judging gays and saying they will go to hell. Absolutely not we have no right to judge. that is Gods decision wats sinner will go to hell and go to heaven because at the end of the day we are born sinners and will die sinners
Because he is a minion of Satan. Our country is going to be at war. The Christian values of this country is going down the drain. God's wrath will be upon us.
All we can do is to pray that God spares us our mistake!
At least in Texas we all voted for McCain, so I am sure God will show mercy on Texans.
Do you think Obama has nothing to do w/ Osama if the 2nd letter difference means Blog Bombing & Suicide Bombin?
The name Obama has only a 2nd letter difference on Osama.It might be a coincidence but why it need to be that close. Obama became popular on blogs while Osama in suicide bombing but both creating impact on the whole world now

The mouse also has a letter difference in the house and yet it clearly link with each other. You could always found a mouse into the house. And the dirty house usually hide a mouse. They dont appear the same in likes and appearance but they live by each other!
Q: how come you think its absurd that the greek gods had sex with women, but when you hear of god impregnating mary through the holy spirit you accept it as truth?
"Because God didn't have "sex" with Mary. He simply created 23 chromosomes ex-nihilo inside her egg. You think that someone who can create suns, moons, stars and planets can't create 23 chromosomes?
In the Greek mythologies, the gods had human form and actually had human-style sex with women. It was obviously made from a human perspective."
Q: Isn't it sad how creationists lack curiosity? instead of trying to figure it out the just say ''god did it''.
"Why do we NEED to figure it out?
Another straw-man problem here is your equating "evolution" with "science". We are not against REAL science, we are against this false interpretation of the facts that has been lumped in as part of the facts!
Only evolution has "gaps". God told us how He made us. Period. No gaps.
It is YOUR responsibility to fill in the "gaps" in your pet theory. If you can't do it, then stop shoving it down our throats as "fact"!"
Question: What exactly is the "gay agenda"?
Answer:Based on what I see:
To destroy any church or group of believers who take the biblical stand that homosexuality is wrong.
If this country allows as normal and legal homosexual union then any church who will not "marry" them becomes subject to legal action for refusing to perform the ceremony.
I know my church has prepared a draft amendment to our by-laws. The amendment will be that no pastor will preform any wedding for any reason for any person no matter if they belong to the church or not. It further states that the church facility will not be rented or available to any one for a "wedding" for any reason even if they belong to the church.
Should Obama be elected and carry through with his threat to eliminate the defense of marriage act these changes in the by-laws will be put to the church for a vote.
