    Jesus married with child?? no way...right?

    I think that it is very telling that people in the secular world continually question the "proof" that Jesus even existed (even though the Bible is the most archaeologically reliable book from ancient history and the fact that he is mentioned by Josephus and others) while they cling to any and...

    Why did God create evil?

    Okay, first of all, the only way to get into heaven is to have already made the choice to love God. In God's infininte kindness, He there removes our propensity to screw up what we know is the best thing for us. For even the best of us here on the Earth still have trouble living out our...

    Why did God create evil?

    God did not create evil. What He did, however, was create the possibility of evil. This all goes back to the debate over free will, which I think is critical to why we are created in the first place. God is love, and pretty much by definition love is not love without someone to love. So His...

    Why is Rick Warren advocating blasphemy?

    Wow, at least you are consistent in your beliefs, but I just haven’t heard anyone say before that they didn’t believe in the “age of accountability”. As far as that issue and the issue of people who have not heard the gospel message, I agree that it is not explicitly...

    Some questions for you all and my story...

    I would not call myself a "Bible Scholar" either, but I'll try to give you my understanding of this often confusing topic. First of all, you don't need to read things into the Bible that aren't there. For instance, the example you gave about the virgin getting "raped", here is the passage I...

    Why is Rick Warren advocating blasphemy?

    Just wondering, so what do you believe happens to children who die before being old enough to accept Christ? They haven't yet developed a "direct, specific faith in Christ", so do they go to hell? I admit that I am not 100% sure about exactly what happens to people who haven't heard of Christ...

    aah sorry for sounding like a loser lol

    Let's see... "total rebellious outcast"... yeah, that pretty much describes Jesus. Never be afraid to honestly ask your sincere questions and share (especially with God) your real doubts about your faith. Be willing to question everything about Chrsitianity, especially the "organized...

    God, The Devil, and Revelation

    Look, this is all supposition anyway, but even in the modern world Satan has a lot to be "proud" of: -The fact that a majority of the world's population still follow false religions that he probably had a hand in. -The overall ineffectiveness of the westernized church. -All the crime...

    Why is Rick Warren advocating blasphemy?

    Absolutely. Like I said, Jews are still nonbelievers (whether "false religion" or wayward children of God) and my statements are equally applicable to any non-Christian group or religion. In fact (in the case of worship/church reform, which is what Warren was speaking to the Jewish...

    dumb science

    I completely agree. Any "disagreements" between science and Christianity are either because our science is not advanced enough to really understand things yet, or our understanding of Scripture is not as clear as it should be.

    Some questions for you all and my story...

    The person you love exists, of course, but do you see, touch, hear, smell, or taste love itself? How do you really know for sure that they love you (rather than some other motivation) other than your faith in them and a belief in love itself? God is a person who created you and caused you to...
