How do they know it had the whiskers depicted in the news item. Surely it is another ape like extinct creature

The belief of Purgatory suggests that humans have to do something to add to the work Jesus did on the cross. Either Jesus paid for all sin once for all, or we have to add something to His work. It is my belief that Jesus's work was total and complete and I can add nothing to it, as can no other...

There is a belief that the Magi were from a sect that Daniel began in Babylon looking forward to the arrival of the Messiah. There may have been as many as 70 in the group, (there is no mention in the gospel of how many, but of 3 gifts). Have a look at a video on you tube "the star of...

Part of the reason that shrimps are an abomination to God is: Shrimps and shellfish are the cleaners of the oceans, they filter out all the toxins that appear in the water. This is why when there are toxins and other nasties in the water we afe advised not to consume these sea foods.

I cannot nunderstand hownthose supposedly following the teachings of Jesus and scripture can approve of same sex ministers in a so-called Christian church. Whether people want to see and agree, there are several places in scripture that call homosexual relations an abomination to God.

It seems to me to be an attention seeking thing. Do not respond to his jibes and he will soon stop them if you don't react. :preach:

I believe it is her option to mention it to the pastor. You may be told to mind your own business, and make it worse for her. :preach:

Angels, like man were created with free choice. Satan chose to replace God, that failed. He deceived Eve (lied) Caused Cain to kill Abel (murderer). So yes Satan is a fallen angel. No god was not blindsided, He knows what has and will happen. Jesus was appointed our sacrificial lamb before...

Firstly, when you assume you make an ass of you and me (ass-u-me) Secondly, Paul writes, "because of the sin of one man, death came into the world" If this is true then evolution would take away the first sin that Jesus died for. that means no need for salvation. Where to then? :preach:

Yes you can take it with you. Setting up again shouldn't be too much of a problem. Much better than the kids watching most of the programmes on now. :preach:

Have you taken any of the advice given? If not why ask for more advice. Are you looking for someone to say to do what it is you really want to do so that you can say, so-and-so said it was ok, that's why I did it

Just taking one little part of your post. "the church only wants your money" Try this; first go to a Christian Church and do not put any thing in the offering plate- bag (whichever comes around) then get up and walk out. Next, go to your local supermarket, pick several items and walk out the...

Is it possible that the OP was referring to the level of genetic quality in people, not their net worth? There are less intelligent people on earth; they are not necessarily the financially poor, just genetically poor. I don't believe that the scripture mentioned refers to genetically poor...

There are more important issues to look at in the election campaign. What is the stand on gays? What about abortion? Euthanasia? Surely these things, at home, are important to Christian voters :preach:

Most people struggle as you are. You do need a good church to help you on your way. At a good church you will be able to find a mentor who will be able to guide you along this new walk you have started on. When you pray, make it like a conversation with a highly respected friend; there is no...

I see no point in arguing with you any further. We both have opposing views on this and many other topics. Arguing doesn't further the task that the Church has to do. There will be a time when we will discover the truth of all disagreements. I would rather take up my time helping someone...

So, you suggest the historical accounts of Genesis are not true history? Joseph and his family in Egypt for over 400 years. (Prophesied in Gen.15: 13 Then the Lord said to Abram, “You can be sure that your descendants will be strangers in a foreign land, where they will be oppressed as slaves...

I have made no assumptions about your character, simply your beliefs. If Jesus spoke as though He believed the O.T. accounts,(and He did) then I see that as proof He believed them to be taken literally; that's good enough for me, I take them that way as well. If you choose to not take these...
