    A tough question

    I'm going to borrow an illustration from someone else for this (I think it was John Piper). If a man who is obviously a regenerate, born-again Christian gets into a severe argument with his wife, would we question his salvation? No. Now what if this man, after getting into this argument with...

    Couldn't God have used Evolution?

    I don't see the correlation. Hospitals were created by Christians as a way of helping people. I am sorry for your loss, but your friend was still human, not a transitional form. And if there are so many bad mutations, where are the good ones? Quite honestly, I don't know enough about evolution...

    Couldn't God have used Evolution?

    There really isn't that much evidence for evolution. If evolution were true, then there should be millions of failed evolutions lying around (i.e. a creature that was produced by a genetic mutation but was not better adapted to its environment). Also, there should be many, many more transitional...

    Proselytize me

    If you want to see a witnessing method, I suggest you go to needGod.com. It presents it more quickly and easily than I could on a forum.

    A witnessing question

    Let me explain the style of witnessing that I intend to use first, then I'll give you a list of resources that can help you. A quick background: Mormons are trained to treat any people who are organized to oppose Mormonism ("Mormons" are the people of the Mormon Church, whom we should love as...

    Witnessing to New Agers...

    First, calling their beliefs "crap" is a major mistake. You might not say it to their face, but it sets you up to not listen to what they have to say, which is a major step in witnessing. For how to witness to New Agers, start with these: http://www.dare2share.org/newagers...

    How to handle failure in witnessing?

    It's at these times that you have to remember the parable of the sower. "1That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. 2And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach. 3And he told them many things in...

    My Prophetic Dream --- But I Need Interpretations

    Dreams are strange things. Sometimes they're the subconscious manifestation of conscious thoughts. Other times they're the result of burritos. I agree with Dean--if it was inspired, then the meaning will be revealed when it's right. For now, don't get too worked up about it.

    Guild Wars players?

    The thing with GW is that the really pricey weapons only cost more, but they aren't necessarily better. For example, Drago's Flat Bow (a unique) is worth ~40,000 gold now. I have a flatbow that I got from a collector that I added a couple of cheap mods to (<5,000 gold total). My bow is just a...

    Guild Wars players?

    I've had GW for over a year now. I might be able to help you out a little if you need it. I can't help much in the way of items, since I'm short on them myself. I have a couple of level 20 characters that could help you through missions, though. I play monk, ranger, necromancer, and I've got a...

    How smart are you? Tricky Test!

    I got 10 too...the Moses one got me as well. Dare I point out that Moses did have an ark--the Ark of the Covenant.

    Acceptable age to Start Dating

    As a teenager myself, I'd have to say 16. And that's with parents knowing exactly who it is, what they're doing, and approving. At 18, then parents can take a step back. Then again, it might be a good idea to let your kid screw up once. I did, and now I know better what to look for in a girl...

    Mormons came to my door tonight...

    I just want to say that some of my best friends are Mormon and I have nothing against the people themselves. Why don't missionaries give Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price to potential converts? Why just the Book of Mormon?

    Mormons came to my door tonight...

    Yes, it's valid, but I just don't think it's the best way to go about witnessing to a Mormon. I'll agree with you here. Matthew 20:1-16 could be helpful with this. It's the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, and it states "the last will be first and the first last," meaning that the last...

    The Legend of Drizzts?

    Dwarf - The Icewind Dale Trilogy comes after the Dark Elf Trilogy. I've read through the second book (I think...) in the Paths of Darkness Series. I've realized that there are some better, though less prolific, Forgotten Realms authors. I really like Richard Lee Byers, for example. Salvatore...
