I had a massive stroke in August 2005 that left me in an electric wheelchair, and have been struggling with the issues of sickness, prayer and God's will. I believe, like the parents say, it is a "test of faith", but while our words are similar, the context is not. I know God is powerful and CAN...

Happy to be single, I'd put Very Happy without the disability (I can see how God has taught me since it happened, but there are inevitable moments throughout the day when you must understand I feel anger and frustration.

We are talking about a war, soldiers don't overcome the enemy with flowers and group hugs. James 4.4: "You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God." I made no assumptions...

I agree with you Templar, but I think it is a mistake to use US Religious Right and Fundamentalist Evangelicalism synonymously. Democracy has nothing to do with it. God doesn't get a vote. When the verse where Paul talks about governors and authorities weilding the sword to punish evil was...

Where industry is developed on a vast scale. This is coupled with mechanisation of the production process through technological advances. The organisation of the production needs to be changed in the process of industrialisation - agriculture (suddenly they need to use less people to grow more...

Considering Gorbachev was the younger Politburo member at the time of his appointment there might be something to that. Ironic thing was Reagan was the oldest US president. :P We have to remember Gorbachev's policies too......as well as his failed ones. They revealed cracks in the communist...

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree here. :P Harry's dislike of Snape is not anything akin to Snape's dislike of Harry. Yes, Snape is critical of Harry's fame, he would be especially after the treatment he got from James during school, then knowing he was the one who told Voldemort about the...

Sure, it's listed on this complete list of Disney animated movies: http://homepage.usask.ca/~jjs142/movielist.htm. The voice of Little John (the bear) was the same guy who did the voice of Baloo (also a bear) from Disney's The Jungle Book (you can tell that guy is typecast). And just looking...

That would make Dumbledore a murderer. I don't think anyone here would want that. Personally, I think Dumbledore was a pompous fool in the sixth book and I was indifferent when he died. I don't want him to come back in any form. But I wouldn't be surprised to see him pull a "White Gandalf"...

I haven't read any of Spong's books, but he has written quite a bit. I tend to stay away from his books because even their titles and descriptions seem to pander to a biased anti-Biblical audience anyway. So I'm not help. But there is an article about him by someone who has read a lot by him...

I loved the 1973 Robin Hood, although now I'm a bit more wary about how Disney engineer their family image while treating their workers like ****. Walt Disney would be turning over in his grave.

Yes, read The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. If you can accept it is just a work of fiction and has a fairly predictable plot formula, it is a great read. But I'd recommend you borrow it either off a friend or from a local library, it is hardly anything more than a fun quick read...

Why did the US bomb in August then? They planned the first invasion for early November. Why bomb it in August? Unless you were scared that the war would end before then, either because of capitulation to the Russians, or you lose your chance to use your wonder weapon you spend $2 billion on and...

I haven't seen the Left Behind movies, but I do have to ask, is that Kirk Cameron from Growing Pains I saw on the DVD box of Left Behind II?

Prisoner of Azkaban.
