Ok, here's what my Ryrie study Bible has to say on this subject: "A vessel of such dimensions would have a displacement of about 20,000 tons and gross tonage of about 14,000 tons. Its carrying capacity equaled that of 522 standard railroad stock cars (each of which can hold 240 sheep). Only...

wow, I'm really jumping in the middle of this. I believe that there were dinos in the ark, he could have gotten small ones. I believe that there were dinos after the flood because of the passages in Job about Behemoth and Leviathon. Job was probably the first written book of the Bible, so the...

Ok, I'm going to take a shot at the Gilgamesh question. Gilgamesh is an example of how many cultures have a world wide flood story. In almost every culture around the world, there is some type of flood story (I know in Japan, China, American Indians, etc.) As for Gilgamesh being before the...

I know I'm probably some sort of freak, but my family and I all loved DS9 the best. My dad was old school original and loved TNG, but DS9 comes out on top. Once the war with the Dominion got going, we were hooked. I loved the characters: Dax, Bashier, Odo, Warf, Sisco, Jake, Quark...etc. I...

I'm a Christian in Northeast FL, Jacksonville actually. I was born here and I go to Trinity Baptist Church - we're Independent, KJV, and have around 3,000 members.

I think the independence in his head refers to Jefferson, not Washington. Jefferson penned the declaration, so I think he gets credit, though he didn't write it alone. I think Madison or Monroe helped. A thousand weary soldiers (could be anyone right?) I think refer to the minutemen that...

It was over succession (as most medieval wars were). Each house (York and Lancaster) had a family symbol of a rose. One was a white rose and the other a red rose (I think, not sure which rose went with which family). If you'd like to read fiction set during that time period, check out The...

I read Three and the Circle Trilogy. Any fans? Talk to me about the ending if you've finished White.

He Still Moves Stones In the Eye of the Storm Next Door Saviour The Applause of Heaven I like his kids books too. You are Mine, etc.

My order goes something like this: Mere Christianity The Horse and His Boy Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe Screwtape Letters Voyage of the Dawn Treader Miracles The Problem of Pain I want to read the Four Loves, but haven't yet, and I know I have many more to read.

I like and have read several books by: CS Lewis Ted Dekker Frank Peretti Craig Parshall (courtroom cases/the Christian Grishom as I call him) Dave Hunt Robin Hardy(fantasy medeival adventure/love stories) I know there's more, but those are the big ones, in no order except Lewis being #1. Happy...

I gained a lot of truth out of this book. I reread it earlier this summer, and so much of it can help you. It's something of reverse psychology...do exactly the opposite of what Screwtape wants. It gave me helpful tips on prayer and trials and courage. I believe Lewis wrote it because...

If you're looking for novels and have tons of time, I'd recommend The Circle trilogy by Ted Dekker: Black, Red, and White are the three books and must be read in that order. It's fantasy with a hint of Christian allegory. One world is reality as we know it, the other is more spiritual where...

I thought it was okay, but not as good as Mere Christianity. The Case for Faith had a chapter on hell that I do not agree with at all. You can do better.

I was angered by The Count of Monte Cristo movie. The book was so much better and complicated. They made the movie into a soap opera.

I don't know much about this, but I voted no. My history professor said that if America had done a land invasion instead, the death toll would have been astronomically higher, and would have sacrificed more American and Japanese lives. We did it to end the war and save American lives. They...

The Pretender, season one, episodes 1-6. I loved this show and I'm so happy it's out on DVD!!!

If you've seen the BBC movies in the last 2 or 3 years and still think they're amazing in comparison to today's CGI, I don't have much to say. I own it, and it was awesome when I was younger, but I think these newer adaptations will do the books justice. In the old versions, most of the...

(the) Silver Chair - C.S. Lewis - Chronicles of Narnia book #6 I think.

I know this is going to touch another nerve, and this is meant to be historical, not judgemental. When you mean Christian world, do you mean Catholic? If so, the Catholics did Christianize the natives in Mexico and America, and I disagree with that method of convert or die (which some Muslim...
