    Live 8 for Africa

    I think the solution is education. Education and democracy go hand in hand. It takes educated people to build an economy and overthrow dictators. There are many groups trying to accomplish this right now and I pray they succeed. It will take hard work.

    Star of Harmony????

    "star of harmony" The only thing I can think of is he is refering to Jesus. Jesus is often described as a star. Its interesting. I doubt the pope just made up his own term. I wonder where it comes from.

    Jesus crucified on a Wednesday

    Just an idea. but the important thing is that we are honoring his holy days consistantly. Think about it. Do we celebrate the day we are born, or the date we are born. If you celebrated exactly 1 year after his death, and every year thereafter, you would be celebrating on a different day...

    Getting the Bible back to its roots

    actually many bible scholars spend 4-8 years in college studying ancient hebrew, aramaic, latin, and greek. They are highly educated when it comes to the original texts. For example look at the process behind the NIV bible http://www.ibs.org/niv/background.php

    Winter walks in the mountain

    Just curious. What is "cold" in the smokies? I know for sure walking won't be an option in the white mountains in the winter. It will be around 0 degrees and at least a foot or two of snow. At least in january and feb.

    Is it the US's Responsibility to Police the world?

    That would be true if you left out the fact we have troops on peacekeeping, and military missions all over the world. But yes, the brunt of our forces are in Iraq and Afganistan.

    Does Rover belong on the trails?

    "Not fair to him. Not fair to the hikers who will follow. Not fair to nature." Of course its fair to him, I have always taken my dog hiking. He loves it., And is it fair to deprive me of my companion, and my companions enjoyment just so another hiker can see a bunny or deer? And why isn't it...

    Was it Christ' purpose to merely grant us heaven?

    "The second flaw is the apparent belief among Christians that all the servants of God, and especially those whose writings are included in the Bible had a complete and accurate understanding of the nature and character of both the Creator and the gospel. Again, this assumption is demostrably...

    Is it the US's Responsibility to Police the world?

    First the argument that the US is being "unilateral" is laughable. Are democrats and liberals really that tainted by the media? Lets examin the prefix "uni", it means "one". But we have a coalition of over a dozen countrys giving active support, and over 40 countrys giving moral support...

    Was it Christ' purpose to merely grant us heaven?

    I think Jesus came to us for many reasons. Yes so that even us gentiles could reach heaven, but also for these reasons. *** 3:6 God poured out the Holy Spirit abundantly on us through Jesus Christ our Savior, God used Jesus to give us the Holy Spirit. Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but...

    Is it the US's Responsibility to Police the world?

    I think it is the US's responsibility, but not our sole responsibility. I think every civilized nation in the world should be responsible. If Iraq and Afganistan turn out the way we want, then at least two countries will be taken care of. But there are so many terrible things happening in the...
