    Is Salvation A Work Or A Gift?

    Faith without works is dead. This does not mean that works are central, but that a faith which does not produce works is actually not faith in our God, but in an idol. Backsliding is part of being imperfect, sinful beings, and has nothing to do with our salvation.

    The morality of marijuana.

    I don't doubt your studies, Superpants. If smoking weed actually brings you closer to God then more power to you. It didn't do that for me, or any of the people I know.

    World History Anyone? ^_^

    Actually i think this was the Kansas-Nebraska Act? If so, yeah, no brainer, lol. "liberty enlightening the world" is correct.

    Is Salvation A Work Or A Gift?

    It is a free gift. <- that's a period. We are given the task of maintaining our worldly posessions. Being good caretakers, all that. You could take back the bike, that might just be the right thing to do, but you wouldn't take back your love for the child, or kick them out of the house for that...

    The morality of marijuana.

    Fair enough. What is a moderate use of weed, as in, one that doesn't really get you high? For most people with alcohol, it's one drink. Would you want to smoke weed in a way that wouldn't get you high, like, for the taste, or to be social? I actually still think it smells good, but that's...

    How to lose the gut

    Don't be afraid. Live with it for a while, then go see a surgeon if you have to, no big deal. Obviously your self-esteem is really tied up with this, so it's better to just take care of it and move on to weightier (haha) matters.

    The morality of marijuana.

    Yes, I have completely forgot that. Is using a hammer moral or amoral? If I use it to nail a house together for the poor it is moral. If I use it to kill babies it is amoral. If you use weed to get high it is immoral. If you use it to soothe some kind of pain or generate hunger cravings when you...

    The morality of marijuana.

    Maybe I can help you out as someone who smoked dope for breakfast for about 10 years. There's a reason they call it dope my friend. It makes you one. You know that verse about how everything is permitted but not everything is beneficial? Bingo. I lost 10 years of my life searching for something...

    Low Carb Intelligence vs Low Carb Stupidity

    Atkins was a starting point, a radical departure from conventional thought. There are better approaches. That is a lot of what the article points out.

    How to lose the gut

    Thank you, that's the point of view I intended. I would just like to encourage people to exercise at the most strenuous level they feel comfortable with if they really want to burn fat. But IANAD. Jake007 - eventually it might. You may have to resort to cosmetic surgery.

    World History Anyone? ^_^

    New York. What is the official name of the Statue of Liberty?

    Don't Shy Away...how about some honest answers?

    Yes. You look good, but yes.

    How to lose the gut

    This is not true. You will burn fat at ANY heart rate, resting, 220bpm, whatever. In the "fat burning zone" you may burn a slightly higher percentage of fat, but it's not like this is the only heart rate at which you will burn fat. If you exercise harder, in fact, you will burn more fat per...
