    Carbon tax,Australia?

    It's hardly surprising considering that Australia is about 40-50 plus times the size of most European countries. In addition, European and other populations tend to be much more condensed than Australian populations. For example, let's just say that within my district there are at least two...

    Genealogy in Matthew explained

    The genealogy in Matthew is given to show that Jesus is a legal heir to the throne of David, by virtue of his lineage from Joseph (the legal father of Jesus). Those mentioned in Matthew are probably the more prominent names, perhaps to aid in recall. I do find it interesting, though, that many...

    Happy invasion day

    Why do people even bother posting crap like this? :sigh: To extrapolate: it's only divisive and does nothing to aid in reconciliation. Australia Day is as much about a celebration of who we are as a nation as it is about our origins and how far we've come.

    Unhappy with my height

    Responded, but now just really don't care. Suppose we just agree to disagree on everything.

    Swtor

    Still disappointed that they didn't make a single player RPG game. I wonder if they'll make you pay for playing it? I didn't even realise that it's coming out so soon. I just hope after this that LA will finally start listening to its customers and bring out games that we've been hoping for for...

    Looking for suggestions

    The only way to run a console game on the computer would be through using an emulator. According to The Emulator Zone, there are no emulators out for the PS3 yet. Even if there were, there is no guarantee that it would run well.. I've been in the same position with Star Wars Rogue Leader and...

    I'm just not believing... last chance

    Hmm, maybe you're focusing on the wrong things and have a wrong idea about what the Christian life is. Christianity is - as the name suggests - about the person of Jesus Christ. Have you examined His life and His claims to be God? What do you make of them? A good book to start would be the Case...

    did Jonah survived or died?

    I believe that he survived the whole time in the fish. Don't know how, but there is nothing to suggest that he died. I was reading in a cultural commentary that Jonah's prayer in the first six verses may have been a well-known hymn or a piece adapted from known material. I personally found that...

    thread spin off - born to watch/the dag

    From my understanding of the culture of the day, women's education levels and also understanding of the Scriptures was significantly less than men or non-existent and so were more likely to be fooled as a result of their ignorance. I don't think that we can make the same claim in our Western...

    Free will or not free will

    Firstly, yes, I do strongly believe that every person has freewill as I find it is the only position consistent with Scripture and just as importantly the character of God. The verse you quoted is a prophecy about the coming Messiah who would defeat Satan, sin and death once and for all. Just...

    Call of Duty: MW3

    Meh, there are worse ways to go. I guess it's a bad thing, but there are worse things in the COD series. Have you looked at the leaderboards for those special ops missions? I often wonder how they scored such a quick time. I think the record for the training course is something like seven or...

    Post your computer specs

    I don't think that the XP Mode on Windows 7 Professional would help with old games though as I read that it doesn't support the 3D graphics drivers or something. I've heard that DOSBox is good, but I never really spent enough time with it to figure out how to use it. :blush: It's a lot easier...

    No Sex in Christian heaven? proof?

    Almost need to wear cyber-sunnies due to the intense shine of your ignorance. *shakes head in disgust* Have you ever read, oh, what is it called, oh yeah that's right: Song of Solomon? Read that and tell me that God/Christianity/the Bible consider sex to be a burden or something to be done with...

    Give me a good reason to believe that the God of the Bible exists

    All the evidence in the world cannot "convince" anyone to state that God exists. Why? St. Paul describes this phenomena in what seems to be a commentary on modern society and many people's lives when he writes: He continues homing in with his commentary on the depraved state of the human...

    I need some encouragement

    Uh, yeah, I'd say so. You're the same age as me and I'm still living with my parents and driving an old car that's on its last legs. :D It's all good. :) This I can actually relate to. At least your guy actually keeps in touch, a girl I liked for a year or so probably figures it'd be easier not...

    Unhappy with my height

    Well, firstly, men generally keep growing until they are about 25 years old. At the very least that should offset your depression until then. ;) Secondly, you're still within "normal" range, albeit shorter than the "average" by a few centimetres. Being Asian, your group's average height is...

    How do you say grace before meals?

    Hmm, that's pretty much what I say too. Eloquence in simplicity. ;)

    Is it wrong to not pray, and not have faith, if I still believe?

    Firstly, I'm sorry man. I can't imagine what it would be like. :( My worst nightmare would be loosing my mother as well. The grief would be such that I couldn't honestly say what I'd do or how I'd deal with it. I'd like to trust in God, but more than likely I'd go out to some secluded place...
