It is equally plausible that the evolutionists won't acknowledge the age of the earth because they feel that doing so would contradict the Darwinian, Huxleyan and Leakian truths that they hold so dear.

except for the fact that God does not hear the prayers of the unsaved...
i cant stand evolution(ists). its just so stinkin crazy...i dont need to argue, its common sense that it aint possible.
I think the world they [atheists and liberals] envision can probably be put into words, as in the book 1984. If you haven't read the book, I suggest you do so. It will open up your eyes to what the future holds for us if the true Christian religion is forever banished from this planet.
Ted Bundy didn't see anything wrong with it [porn] either. Neither do most serial killers.
i cant stand fags. ive been hit on by a fag before and i darn near knocked him unconscience. homosexuality is way wrong.
An athiest tried to take OUR GOD out of the Pledge. An athiest tried to take OUR GOD off our currency and that is what this country was FOUNDED ON! Oh, it's true.
I believe what I believe becus it has to be. There is no other way, there can't be. I've seen ppl break down in tears during prayer. I've seen ppl told they can't have children, and then be blessed with two daughters.
It may have an extreme generalization about all democrats being traitors. But to say that she dosen't get her facts straight is in need of some more proof. That was an outstanding book. She defends Joe McCarthy, who became one of my heroes after reading that book and doing some other research. Talk about a true patriot.
Homosexuals can change, its just hard because by the time they actually realize they like their own sex they have already lived that way for a long time. If its really not possible to change, then you better hope it never happens to you because the bible does say that homosexuals arent allowed to live.
[On the Shroud of Turin]
From what I watched on the tv show and what the Bible say, Jesus was raped in it for 3 days and then He rose from the dead.
you can cloak yourself in a fantasy world that there is no god, and live without god that's okay thats your choice
What is it with the whole Christian/Catholic thing. Never have i been so confused as when I asked someone if they were a Christian and they replyed I'm a Catholic, I asked the same Question again and i got a blank expression from the person I asked.
[Replying to 'can people be blinded by faith?']By religions, yes, by Christianity, no. Being a Christian is a personal relationship with God. Before people get saved they are blind to the truth. But, once they get saved, they are no longer blind to the truth.
[Replying to the book 'Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot']For one thing, no matte if you like him or not, he is very intelligent. Maybe he dosen't use his intelligence to say things YOU like... and another thing, he is no longer fat...he's lost alot of weight...
[After a person complains 6 guys beat him up]
i felt sorry for you till you said you were gay. try reading the bible."
[Probably wondering about Bible verses describing Satan as the 'prince of the powers of the Earth']
This may sound stupid but it's food for thought none the less.
If Satan is behind all temptation and works the ground of the earth then wouldn't temptation be non existent in space, since Satan is not in space but on earth?
So basically what I'm saying is did the people who went into space (Armstrong, Space station etc) ever feel tempted by anything ungodly?
If they didn't well then that proves temptation is from satan but if they did then I think that can be explained by inner demons... of which we all have.
Any thoughts?
Eh, this has been argued to death and will probably be argued further to death. *gets out stick, beats the dead horse that evolved from a dog*
im very sorry if you find me to be hostile and offensive with my words, i just stand by my beliefs like gollum and the one ring
Most of you atheists are full of crap with your "scientific research". Admit it, at least 99% of you simply go to an atheist website and copy & paste whatever you think will peeve off a Christian that is immature or misinformed about the faith. Grow up and stop wasting your time here. Bashing baby Christians DOES NOT make you intelligent. Furthermore, go do some REAL studies." "Christians (or prospective Christians), quit looking for theological answers on the internet. You have churches in your local area for a reason. If your church doesn't have the answers, then go to another one, you're at the wrong church." "Concerning evolution, it should not be confused for adaptation. Adaptation to the environment and other such factors is a reality for all species. God knew what He was doing when He created us all. Adaptation is certainly acceptable to Christian theology. Evolution and Christianity, on the other hand, are not compatible. Don't like it? Too bad. Get over it.
I just took a college class called "Music In World Cultures". Some of what we discussed dealt with how tribal and religious cultures use music in their spiritual rituals. Some work themselves into a frenzy, and eventually go into trance...or more appropriately labeled, possession.
The truth is that Christians know all too well of the danger of hell. Its one of the main reasons I became a Christian; for the fear of going to hell (call me selfish).
And you're right, if there is no God, then there is no reason for the universe. We would be a cosmic accident and by all standards we would be insignifgant nothings. Which means we are still no better then worms, which means Hitler, Pol Pot and Sadaam Hussein have done nothing wrong.
Now many scientists believe that the earth was created BILLIONS of years ago. But how can it be, if they never actually see it shape? They only think their thory is right. In the Bible, the Earth was created fully, in seven days. Much less time than the evolution theory. And besides, if we evolved from monkeys or apes, no monkeys or apes would be around because all of them evolved! It's really simple to say, oh, we can believe in both [divine creation and mainstream science]. But do you think it's right? Certainly not!!!!
[On humanist morality]You say that if something hurts someone, then it is wrong. You dont believe in God and that hurts.
and for all the aetheists.... WHY IS THERE PROOF OF A GOD WHO IS KNOWN TO 'not exist'? Answer that with THOUGHT AND A GOOD AMOUNT OF CAUTION...
and evolution, ha, any theory that it's originator denounced is obviously false. if you don't know about that, don't even bother replying. energy=matter, ha, that kind of goes against Einstien, doesn't it.
[On why people don't believe in God]
It's because they cannot think for themselves!
of course he is worthy of worship. he is the Mighty One, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, he's the wonderful one. if ne thing, u should just worship him out of pure fear of his wrath.
I can tell you why you believe what you believe. You believe it because some[one] else told you, because you read it somewhere... I'd rather believe we were created than believe our entire civilisation and history is one big accident. You want to be an ape? Be an ape, I don't care, But I'd prefer not to be an ape if its all the same to you.
Jesus didn't condemn slavery on the basis that it was considered normal by Jews and allowed by God. In fact, slavery wasn't even condemned by slaves. They were fed, clothed, given a bed and released after 7 years. Only in todays society is slavery seen as being wrong.
Now, the reason you don't belive is because you don't want to. You like doing the sinful things and you don't want to admit your wrong and need God's help, so you continue to be in the dark for fear that your sins will be exsposed in the light.
The incontrovertible evidence that supports the earth is round is only slightly more available to me than the evidence supporting claims of the apostles and their risen Christ.
[Responding to another poster asking for prayers for his sick grandfather]
I'll be praying for him.
Is he a Christian? If he is, don't fear his death should it come.
If I abandon a Christian worldview, I see no plausible reason - other than purely selfish reasons - to be a Moral person. In fact, [and I know this will be contraversial] but I believe that many of these crimes are strictly due to a lack of the Christian worldview, although, paradoxically I find that many Christians [?] engage is such activities. If Christianity is proven false, do what you wanna do, as long as you come out alive and on top, Who cares... pure Hedonism is championed. Does that answer your question?
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.
The Earth was made in 7 days. PLAIN AND SIMPLE! And just to let people know... carbon dating is crap. Lighting strikes create carbon14,which is used to date objects, so when lighting hits the ground or an object or the atomsphere, more is creatd, thus you cannot have an accurate representation of how old something is.
There is no such thing as Christian Homophobia. Yes homosexual lifestyles can tear a family apart, especially if some members disagree with it and don't voice there opinions in Godly love. It is more likely in Christian house holds as we as Christians are not to support sin. Yes some people on this forum have shown hate for homosexuals; it doesn't mean it's a uniform Christian belief. I've seen more non-Christian "Homophobics" than Christian.
Why do you think a homosexual lifestyle doesn't hurt others? I believe a homosexual lifestyle does affect others, just like pornography, masturbation, and smoking pot hurts others. [Emphasis added]
Sex is for the purpose of procreating. You say what is wrong with pleasure. Tell me this, what is wrong with fucking an animal, having sex with little 5 year old girls etc? I'll tell you why, IT'S NOT NATURAL!!!
What is practical is that many homosexuals use their homosexuality as a crutch to protect themselves from real emotional and spiritual problems. This isn't true for everyone, but for a large amount it is.
i myself think it's absolutely absurd. no offence intended 2 anyone of course... but someone who openly accepts homosexuality and still calls himself a Christian and wants 2 b elevated in a position of leadership would b like allowing a pedophile to become a childrens pastor.
People say it's okay to be a Wiccan, Buddhist, Muslim or whatever but it must be made clear God hates these false religions (if they are in fact false) and He'd like to see them eradicated. Homosexuality is the killer. Priests, pastors, politicians etc are decieving God's little children into thing it's okay to be gay. The world has come to largely accept homosexuals in this world and the gay movement is stronger than ever... God hates it all. People think female pastors are a welcome but God says they're not (debatable). Many don't believe in capital punishment even though God created it. Pacifists and anti-war (defence) Christians are just confused. Is there a passage in the Bible that says we're to conform to social beliefs or don't people give a shit about the truth? Why so weak?
[On hell being totally unjust]
I often wonder how people develop such negative concepts of God and maintain such hostile attitudes toward a deity.
Regardless of the "hoop" one must jump through, one must either jump or face the wrath of the deity. Shaking the fist and calling the hoop unfair really doesn't change the situation.
If God said, "You must sodomize three animals before you die" in order to get to heaven, then you had better get humping. Obviously, that's not the case, but I wonder if everyone would complain as much?
Your ignorance is astonoshing...I mean it really makes me sick.... why would god want losers that don't believe in him or his son in heaven... I'm not trying to be pushy I just care about you and every other non believer , why...I may never know...
I have had more success converting drunks [to Christianity] than otherwise. They are free of their mind and are open and willing to free their mind.
And yes, they still have the beleifs today.
I think I should point out that my post wasn't about the solidarity of the [Evolution] theory, it was about the way many people follow the theory without question. Of course scientists wouldn't care if the theory would be proved untrue, that wasn't the point, the point was that many people who believe in it, would deny it's untruth, just like they did 1000's of years ago.
It is illogical to have linear logic. However it may have truth in it, you will never find the complete answer.
With Circular logic, you have your back up, and as long as that back up is uninteruptabed, it is perfected 100 with truth, making it wise, which makes it truth.
But in no situation should you sin against God [by divorcing], no matter how much pain or emotional problems you have to go through. It is much better than sinning against God Almighty.
If you dropped your computer on the ground and smashed it. Would it put itself back together. It is proven that a living organism CANNOT come from a none living organism. Evolution is supposed to evolve us into something better, but we are getting worse. I have heard that evolution has happened because we needed something extra. Like at one stage we had no stomach and therefore couldnt eat, then somehow a stomoach appears. Well I want to fly, but you dont see wings popping out do you. Has anyone EVER seen evolution. NO!!!!!! It amazes me how all this is just ONE BIG accident. A whole bunch of rockes came together and earth was created, then a little spec grew into what we are now. Where did that little spec come from to start with.
