The Bible gives us this point of referance. It tells us that adultry is wrong. It hurts the adultorer's spouce, any children and the whole family structure.

What rational reason do you have for a basis of your belief. The Bible is full of prophecies; that is true. Not one of them has ever failed. There is no contradiction in the Bible."

"Yes Satan does have his children still on earth. All who do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour are children of the devil.

Ok evolutionist claim the world is billions maybe evan trillions of years old right? WRONG! First lets look at world population growth. The world increses at about 2% a year... in one million years... there would have been 10 (to the 2100 power) people somehow stacked on this earth.

You are WRONG! The burden of proof that Jesus is not God falls on the accuser (the skeptic). We also have iron clad proof, it's called the Bible. It's up to the accuser to prove the Bible to be in error. Lyra had the audacity to come on here and basically tell me that Jesus' divinity was nothing more than my opinion. That's just hogwash!

... the calendar has remained basically the same with some minor changes happening when we went from a Julian to a Gregorian calendar or vice versa... Its really a miracle if you think about it and I almost believe that God has had a hand in maintaining the weekly cycle through the years. Theres certainly no logical reason to hold onto a 7 day week cycle. A ten day cycle would probably work better but the fact we have stayed on the present system speaks for a possible supernatural support of it.

Spanking is not about teaching them about something, it is about letting them feel a bit of pain to correct them.

The Bible does not treat woman poorly in any regards. If anything it supports them. It was a main tool during the women's right movements.

Why are there so many discussions about other religions (atheism, mormonism, etc) when everything boils down to one verse in the Bible I am The Way and The Truth and The Life and NO ONE comes to the Father EXCEPT through ME. -John 14:6. The Torah [Jewish name for the Old Testament] teaches that itself (the Torah) is The Way and The Truth and The Life when in all reality that isn't true. Jesus Christ is the only way.

As Christians, {the other poster} and myself can actually say that slavery is actually wrong, everywhere and for everyone, even while recognizing there is disagreement about it.

As an Mk (missionary kid) i hear all kinds of stories and see first hand the effect that demons and angels have on the world today. They are as real as you and me and to deny them is dangerous i think.

Now, I don't know why you want me to 'proove you wrong' when you haven't even established that you're right! But I will do my best to explain 'why we would expect a more 'highly evolved' organism to possess more chromosomes.' Okay, first of all, if we Evolution then we would expect that the most 'highly evolved' creature would have the most chromosomes. Right? Then it would be logical then to conclude that, if we are truely 'evolving' then some of us would be ferns, since we would get more complex the more we evolve.

We are worthless, undeserving of anything but Gehenna itself.

Jesus did not die for us because we are something special.

We are something special BECAUSE HE DIED FOR US!

We possess nothing, we have nothing, we hold nothing---naked came we into the world, naked shall we leave.

learning to survive requires intelligence. A person who is a "vegetable" doesn't possess inteligence. They do not posses the ability to survive. A respiratior can make them breathe, they can be fed by an IV. but they no longer posses the intelligence to survive. So left alone, they'd die. Same with that immaginary first lifeform.

Did satan just fall to earth?

I can not tell the difference between a demon and a sickness. They look the same to me.

[Replying to 'Dude, was that (calling him a "HOMO") necessary?']What other reason would he ignore a YEC Conservative Christian for? STAY IN CANADA!

[In a topic about the cancellation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer]WOO HOO! Another one of Satan's tools bites the dust! Not before it did a LOT of damage, though...

With the female issue, Satan is decieving you and trying to convince you to take down your shield and be struck by a poisonis arrow that will cause you to feel great bliss...

Jesus came as a male, because otherwise he would not have been accepted and would not have been able to liberate the women as he did.

Here are my theory's on Homosexuality.

Its just a Fetish. It's a kinky sexual perversion that people convince themselves to be born with.

[On the rather unwholesome idea that Jewish people killed in the Holocaust are now in hell for eternity because they didn't accept Jesus]

If the gassed jews are in hell then they're in hell. It doesn't change the way I feel about God. I think that most probably are (except the children). God plainly states He sends no one to hell, but can only save people from hell. He gave people free will to choose heaven or hell... it's actually a choice. I infact believe that since God desires us to be like Him then eventually everyone will end up in Heaven since I don't believe in eternal punishment as justfication. This may go against my Christian beliefs but it's how I truly feel and if I'm wrong... oh well.

['Is there a point where we should reject a powerful tyrant's authority even at great risk of personal injury?']

Yeah if you want to go to hell. I don't.

Excuse me, what evidence are you talking about? There has not been even .0000000000000001 % of evidence supporting evolution (the one which says we all 'evolved' and the world happened by chance)!!!!!! And if you look at the facts every stinkin' piece of evidence 'evolutionists' use to support evolution is actually supporting creation!! And did you know that all the theories and proofs that scientists have put out in the world that say evolution is real, have been disprooven!

how do i know the bible is true... the bible talks about germs,and washing in running water and covering food to keep germs off... where are the missing links?seen any talking apes?or humans with wings?if we all evolved from so called simple cells why are there still simple cells here?

I don't give a rat's ass about Occam's Razor. That's just another idol people worship.

I've got jury duty this week. I was able to postpone it from spring break until now. So could you guys pray for me to either not get selected (since fall semester is starting real soon) or if I do to makie the judgement God would have me make and somehow handle the load of that, work, and school. Thank you.

[Replying to 'you can't cure homosexuality']This is a very short sighted statement. Pneumonia was a death sentence before 1940 when Penicillin came along. Maybe 20 years from now they'll have Homocillan; how do you know there's no way to eliminate homosexuality?

Talking about being a homo is disruptive to the learning envoirnment. Just like girls wearing skirts that are too short can be punished for breaking the rules, even though they have 'free speech,' it's perfectly appropriate to punish someone for talking about his sexuality especially because his particular sexuality is controversial and disruptive. The school believes that his conduct was inappropriate to the school enviornment and issued the punishment of reading from the bible: A very appropriate punishment. He should do his assigned reading and shut the fuck up.

He laughs at the anti-Hovind websites...they actually give him more opportunity to give the gospel...Thanks for helping Kent get the message out.

[Replying to 'The Egyptians built it']

Why do you think so?

Make an audio or video tape and seal it in an envolope. Then mark it with something like 'In case of mase disapperance open.' I'd make copies of it and put them around town in various places where people might go, (churches, stores, etc.) Does that sound to crazy?

But a mile tall? come on. There is now way. 9 cubits and 3000 cubits are a huge difference. We have to use some bit of common sense here. The flood would not have killed someone a mile tall they could just go and stand on the mountain. This just does not make any sense at all.

Same goes for me though, no matter what science has come up with or will come up with, I know that we did not come from some bacteria slug swimming in primordial soup.

Often people say God is just or fair and would not let children die in this manner or suffer this way. But The God of the OT is still the same God. In the book of 1 Samuel He instructed Saul to kill everything living thing.. animals, men, women, and children when they conquered that city... Children suffer horrible in other third world countries daily... I do lean toward... those with no christian parents being left behind to find their own way to christ before it is to late.

If you truly had the Holy Spirit, then you would still be a Christian. Otherwise you can't say you had Him, seeing as you deny His existance...

[On how a non-Christian 'condemns himself' to hell instead of going to heaven]

How can he stand such concepts as love and compassion, tolerance and glory when he is in such a state of heightened ignorance on behalf of his own diabolically perverse mindset?

Population growth is actually only a problem for evolutionists, not creationists. According to even conservative estimates, the world should have been way overpopulated by now if evolution were true. Evolutionists "solve" it with the speculation that our ancestors were hunter-gatherers for millions of years, and populations did not grow at all until after the advent of agriculture.

You're barking up the wrong tree, Ace. The difference between Christianity and other "world religions" is significant and striking. Ever asked a Moslem what Mohammad has done for him today? (Answer: nothing, Mohammad is dead). Ever asked a Buddhist what Buddha has ever done for him? (Answer: nothing, Buddha is dead, too). Try asking a Christian what Jesus has done for them. Our God is alive. Jesus is alive. Jesus works in our daily lives, and we are a testament to Him. Other "religions" worship idols and dead people.

Here's just some of the things that Jesus has done for me:
- I have prayed for others and see real answers to those prayers, not just
a bunch of coincidental stuff.

- I have seen my children saved and brought to Christ. Not just one, but
all three.

I am truly proud to be an American. I have no doubt that God molded this country with greatness in mind. Granted we are far from perfect, but we certinly are free and blessed beyond all recognition!! We have no right to complain about how we live. Our poorest people live like kings compared to other countries and I am embarrased when we hear so many complaining about not having enough. I am so proud of George W. Bush and very proud of how he got the U.N. to whip into shape. He is doing amazing things for this country and hushing the opposition with action and not just talk. I always have supported our leaders but at least now I can say that once again I am proud to be an American.

Christianity is the only one that passes 'the logic test.'  As hard as you may try, I doubt that you can really show the other religions to be very logical at all. Take Islam for example... Wow, who would want to worship THAT god? Oh, and it has both 'love the Jew' and 'slay the infidels' in the same book. We have the Old Testament, aye, with killing in it, but remember that that was judgement upon the tribes of Caanan that was their own fault...  Hinduism:.. they can't even decide who to worship!..  Buddhism: Look at it...yeah.  Taoism: Doing nothing is the best way to gain oneness with the tao... Wow, 'go with the flow' at its best... Ask any theoretical physicist about entropy, the proven tendency for the universe to go from order to chaos, and you'll see that this tao is a load of cow...  Rastafarianism: Black people rule, kill the whities...

Satan is lying to you. Why is it hard for you to see that God is real and He loves you?

Another example is the slavery in America. That was wrong. It was so very wrong. But if a master treats the slave nicely, gives the slave food and does not beat the slave then that slavery isn't wrong.

I must disagree with Buddhism. No way could all humanity ever acheive the same goal by doing the same thing. Humanity is too diverse. Never happen.

No atheist has come up for a satisfactory answer of why the world exists in the first place if there isn't a God. Secondly no atheist has successfully proved that the resurrection Jesus Christ hasn't happened.

The Shroud [of Turin] is also contrary to the Bible, which says that Jesus was 'bound ... in wrappings (plural)... Shroud proponents can explain this away all they want, but the Bible should be used to judge claimed artefacts; not the artefacts used to judge the Bible.

[Replying to 'could you believe in the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny?']No, because I know those things ain't real. I know God is real because of what He did for me and what I have seen Him do for my family and friends. What we need to find out is why God and Jesus don't seem reasonable to you. Why?

I think the slow death penalty should be instated. First off you are executed in the manner that you committed the crime. If the bodies aren't found and the style of murder is unknown, then I think the capitol murderer should be dipped in honey and red fire ants should be poured all over his/her body. I am not joking..I am not a gimmick..I am sick of liberals caudling to the criminals and appeasing them because they are scared. I find no reason in the Bible where the death penalty is prohibited. It was part of the old law, So it is still usable today.

I dunno. I am kind of artsy and I like the [flashy, hard-to-read HTML] back grounds... besides, I never really expect people to read the text anyways, so if I have a cool bgk, then they will just it looked cool and be done

THEY, the itty bitty tiny infitestimal snotty band of atheists, deists, and anti Americans, with word processors and left wing, ideologists in the judiciary have perverted the nation.

So just because some schlub who threw together a web site says Chick's not honest, I should just jump on *their* bandwagon? Anyway, I did my research on it a long time ago and I can say with confidence that Chick is not dishonest.

Youre not funny Lucidus, go get raped.(This is only a joke I hate rapists)
