    SDA Question

    Paying rent is good, feeding your kids is good, but to do work on the Sabbath...bad! The commandment of God says to simply rest, working is against this commandment. As for your watering your animals rational...you are just as guilty as the Pharisees of taking the Commandment of God out of...

    Are there different levels of punishment in hell?

    same for everyone, a good point to this is, that a sin is a sin. and all sin is deserving of hell.

    Paul vs. James: Faith/Works interpretations discussion!

    this is the way that i see it. We are saved by faith, because Paul says in Hebrews 11 that it is "IMPOSSIBLE" to please God without faith. so we have to have faith inorder to please God and thus be saved. However i don't think that there is a contradiction in what Paul was saying and what...

    Aliens

    First of all Christ would not have to die for the sins of aliens if their world was unfallen and sinless like earth was before eve ate of the fruit. second if "Sons of God'' is referring to seth's line then explain Job 1 where it says that the "Sons of God" came into the presence of the...

    1 Timothy 4:1-3

    the law that peter was breaking was not the law of food, it was the law of association with gentiles. Peter gave only one explaination and that was, "God showed me not to call any MAN uncommon or unclean." if he was being questioned for what he ate, he would have answered differently in order...

    1 Timothy 4:1-3

    Should Chriatians be vegetarian/vegan?

    the vision of peter has absolutely nothing to do with God saying that we can eat anything we want. it has everything to do with his visit to Corneilious' house. notice later in the chapter, he recounts the story to those in the house and concludes with this statement, "For the Lord has shown...

    Should Chriatians be vegetarian/vegan?

    the orginal question is: Should Christians be Vegitarians? No being vegitarian in no way has an effect on your spiritual walk as a Christian. if it did then God would not have set aside dietary laws claiming certain meats as clean for consumption. i do beleive that those laws are no...

    Question about Atkins

    i'm not saying that everyone should stop because its the diet of the Anti-Christ or anything. the point is that you have to restrict some of the most healthy things for you and substitute it for high fat, and cholesterol foods like bacon. you substitute the most healthy for the most...

    Question about Atkins

    boy i have a few things to say to a few different post. Catalyst, while it is obvious that you are somewhat knowledgible, and definitly obvious that you know how to cut and paste other peoples articles. but bottom line is this. Calorie reduction is the only and best way to lose...
