    Name 1 process...

    People (Christians and non-Christians) have created & added to controversy with respect to evolutionary theory. There is no real conflict. I have not heard/read one argument that shows any real conflict which is logical &/or fact based. I have heard/read a great deal of misunderstandings from...

    Any palaeontologists around? Need help!

    I am not a palaeontologist, but converse with some. I study and am interested in palaeontologically related topics. Assuming that you understand what this topic is about (I can follow), what is most interesting to you about it? Most likely what you find interesting will be the best...

    Hard Questions to answer.....makes you wonder

    For me everything that I've experienced is consistent with what God tells us in the Bible. As I grow, these experiences get more and more obvious and extraordinary. I definitely did not always feel/think this way. I was an atheist for a quarter of my life. Other religions have some similar...

    Define Christianity in one word

    In a sense I agree. However, what Lithium Hobo most likely perceives Christianity to be is based on bad behaviors (including doctrinal issues) and a great deal of some bad history that humans calling themselves Christians (or even doing these things in the name of Christianity) - not that they...

    Sincere Atheists?

    In response to one of the last posts: a lot of times atheists*** are so fed up with the Christians that make such illogical claims, have blind faith*, are hypocrits, twist scriptures to their perceived advantage (including a great deal of doctrine), etc. Of course the vast majority of Christians...

    My opinion :S

    Quote:Where in the bible does it talk about Self-hate, suicide, selfworth or... related themes... (nothing implied with this... I will need to "research" this -the Bible -other sources. I can't promise a speedy response on this one, it may take quite a while. This question and some of your...

    My opinion :S

    I think what Black_Sheep would like is "evidence" as best as can be provided. Although miracles, clear answers to prayer, etc. can be dismissed as simply hersay, these may help. For example, how probable was it that someone could have survived this extreme car crash without a seatbeat that you...

    Sincere Atheists?

    I have not read all of the threads to this question, so I apologize if there is overlap. One simple reason (or one of the reasons) could be due to many humans' (including Christians) distaste for conflict, in general. Perhaps there is a knee jerk reaction because some humans' (e.g. a...

    My opinion :S

    I agree with crossrunner. Additionally, I believe that the Bible is God's Word, but do not simply follow man's interpretations. Also, I am a former atheist and have trouble thinking non-analytically. Consequently, I may have had a lot of thoughts/feelings that you are having. There is a book...

    is it OK?

    These posts have excellent suggestions/comments. I will most likey repeat a few of them - I do not mean to claim the ideas as my own. First, with all due respect and love, I think that you know it is not ok to want someone to go to hell. As a continuous wanting, it is spiritually, emotionally...

    Circumcision?

    All that I have ever learned and heard about circumcision, Biblically and medically leads me to conclude that one should follow his/own "convictions"/beliefs on this matter. According to the New Testament, we are not contrained by the laws of the Old Testament. As I've learned previously...

    One problem I have with Christianity

    I mostly have the same beliefs described in your original statement, ace85. There are a couple items that I am not against, but I am not adamant about either (I'm somewhat undecided on those). Perhaps some of the ways that you've arrived (reasoning) at these beliefs/values I do not share. I also...

    help me!

    What Zippythepinhead and others have communicated today (Romans 10) is valuable. In combination with the previous posts, prayer is extremely important. Many of us (especially myself) struggle with our faith in that we usually think through things logically and use our human understanding...

    Define Christianity in one word

    Although man has many different (often contradicting) teachings of Christianity, God's consistent message throughout the Bible is Love (as Eternal Mindset and others have indicated).
