    Does Bible say the earth is flat?

    What does "flat" mean? Like a shallow cylinder?

    Adam and Eve and all the kids

    I am sorry if this is a thread repeat but "search" acts uncooperatively for me right now. I'm in a discussion on another site with a guy about evolution and in this case, "how did 'races' arise?". I was reminded whilst browsing the web that 4 blood types flow through everyone on the planet...

    We live in the best of all possible worlds

    Didn't God say that this creation was "perfect", as recorded in Genesis? And if it were Perfect, wouldn't it be perfectly capable of recovering from fall?

    Getting forgiveness for being a complete self-indulgent moron (mastrubation related)

    Being attracted to someone means you are healthy and normal.

    Green Christianity

    If I were President I'd tell everyone, everyone in the Nation about what the Navy does with it's garbage. Ships on the high seas, loads of garbage, nowhere to throw it but.... Tons and tons, year after year. That's ridiculous and terrible. It's not a political view, it's just that the oceans...

    The Fall and Taoism

    Free Will Considered

    Free-will just means to do stuff, doesn't it? Maybe there are things substantial, things not substantial, things that are just for enjoyment, etc... And free-will is the ability to do God's will (which is the ultimate best thing). Maybe 'doing' and 'being' are more advanced terms than we know.

    Free Will Considered

    Do you mean free-choice or free-will? I've heard it said (and someone mentioned this in this thread, and I pushed 'multi-quote' to quote it but I quoted so many quotes that I lost where it was...haha) that only along with God's will can we truly make a choice (i.e. creating opportunity for...

    OK, we are all creationists, what happens now?

    What killed rock and roll? The fact that everyone ran to it... you can't have anything rebellious or new when everyone's quietly submitting to something. We haven't yet discovered the individual. We see the magic of the human being sometimes, and these cases are usually written about in our...

    Evolution or Degeneration?

    Umm, have you had the double frappe at Starbucks?
