    Political Parties

    Err, no they're not, so no we can't. Not everyone who is AOG is Family First, and not everyone who is Family First, is AOG. That's what we call the Seperation of Church and State. (Not what people try and make it when it suits them.) Family First was started by people associated with the AOG...

    Where is the line between "speaking doubt and unbelief" and common sense?

    You can judge a prophet by whether his prophecies come true. If someone truly feels God promised them something, perhaps they are waiting for their time, like Moses waited 40 years, and Joseph not quite as many years for their destinies to come to pass However, if the same people think God is...

    Should Christians care about the enivronment?

    I believe as stewards of the earth, we have a responsibility to look after the earth. Which means looking after animals and the environment. However, I don't believe Greenpeace is the best organisation to serve the environment. In fact, Patrick Moore, one of the guys who started Greenpeace...

    I'm with Kristian. That second save was a beauty. He dived low, and then realised he was too low, so stuck up his arm to block the ball. All in the split second it takes for the ball to go from the spot to the keeper. Amazing.

    We made it!

    Wouldn't that be great!! I follow footy much more than soccer, but that game tonight was edge of the seat stuff. That last save from Schwartzer was a beauty. And it was so much better winning, than the last couple of times.

    Political Parties

    In the Profile section there is an option to select the Political Party you identify yourself with. Quick Straw poll. If Family First was an option, would you change what you already have in that section of your profile? Eg If you prefer not to let you political allegiance be known, and...

    We made it!

    It's always good to see the Great South Land of the Holy Spirit win something. Which we do often. ;) I hope they do well when they get to Germany.

    Wow. Talk about distortion of Scripture.

    I think you and I probably agree on that, however, the particular aspect I was addressing was in regard to whether rape is just forced sex. It is much worse. It also humiliates, controls and punishes. And whilst these men may have simply been used to having sex with men, forcing Lot's guests...

    Wow. Talk about distortion of Scripture.

    Not neccessarily. Just because it was designed as a pleasurable activity, and being married with 4 kids let me just say "nice work God", but also it's been perverted into a way to control, humiliate, and punish people. The rapist gains as much, or more perverted pleasure from that as he does the...

    Wow. Talk about distortion of Scripture.

    You've missed a bit. The very next bit, in fact. Eze 16:50 "Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them when I saw {it.}Eze 16:51 "Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half of your sins, for you have multiplied your abominations more than they. Thus you...

    33 Questions that will make you an atheist

    They are, and here are my answers to them. 30. If god did open the sea so that Moses and the jews could run away from Egypt, why didn't he open the concentration camps gates? -- Guilherme Hoffmann He did. In 1945. Rmered 31. Why are we granted free will if our duty in this life to our...

    Wow. Talk about distortion of Scripture.

    Because rape, which is what is suggested here, is not about sex, but about power. And offering a young girl (or girls in this case) while completely inappropriate today, and probably then too, was all Lot could think of to do at the time. Just shows you what a messed up place it was.

    Wow. Talk about distortion of Scripture.

    What I've done here is a complete cut and paste job, but rather than give you a link and have you wade through the rest of the information, here is the logical answer to your question. Critics admit that the word used (the very common yada) does at times refer euphemistically to sexual...

    Melchizedek: Another View

    But he had a father. Surely if sin entered the world through Adam, then he is our father. Therefore, genetic links, such as the parental link between Lamech and Noah are not impacted at all by the Flood. And so, Lamech is legitimately Noah's father, and therefore, he cannot be Melchizidek.
