    Prayer request for me

    For some this might seem like a petty thing to ask for a prayer request about, especially considering some of the other ones I've seen on here, but I'm moving today from Chicago to Detroit and I think I just would like a prayer that God will do great things through me in a new place. I also...

    An amusing list of the traits of a fundamentalist atheist. The full list is here, but here are some of my favorites (this might seem like a lot, but the whole list has 275 things): You may be a fundy atheist if... 1. You think the primary aim of an omnibenevolent God is for people to have FUN...

    What, in your opinion, is the best freeware/shareware program that allows you to make an HTML website and put it on the web? I tried to do it in Microsoft Word, but I couldn't actually put it on the web.

    Born again

    I have a question. I don't plan to debate, just seek an answer: Why don't Catholic churches emphasize being born again like Jesus said in John 3:3-8? I was a Catholic for my entire life up until a few months ago, and I never once heard any priest or teacher talk about being born again.

    New prediction

    Surfing the web, I came across this site: http://www.apocalypse2008-2015.com. I haven't read much of it yet, but it seems like the writer is using ancient Hebrew, Chinese, Aztec, and Mayan information to determine the times of the Great Tribulation. According to him, it will start on December...

    Through the Psalms verse by verse

    We don't seem to have a Psalms verse-by-verse going here (sorry if we do), so I thought I'd start one. Psalm 1:1

    Bible Colleges?

    I am a sophomore in high school and I'll soon have to start applying for colleges. Do you guys know of any good Bible colleges in the Chicago area or in northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin?

    Genesis 2:4 vs. Genesis 1

    I have a question that has me confused: In Genesis 2:4, it says "...in the day that God created the heavens and the earth." But Genesis 1 says God created the earth in six days. The Hebrew word yom is the word used in Gen 2:4, the same as all over Gen 1.

    Actual bloopers from church bulletins (spelling errors left): 1. Scouts are saving aluminum cans, bottles, and other items to be recycled. Proceeds will be used to cripple children. 2. The outreach committee has enlisted 25 visitors to make calls on people who are not afflicted with any...

    Jewish Fathers, Christian Sons

    A Jewish father was concerned about his son, whose bar mitzvah was approaching and he had little knowledge of the Jewish faith. To remedy this, the father sent his son to Israel to experience his heritage. A year later the son returned home and said, "Thank you, father, for sending me to the...

    The Church and its teachings

    I know that Catholics believe that God will not allow the Pope or His Church to teach false things. Maybe this question has been asked before on here, but there are a few things I don't understand: 1. How far down does this authority go? Does it extend to cardinals, bishops, and priests, or...

    Authority of the Church

    I'm sure this question has been asked a hundred times on here before, but I've never heard an answer. The Church says that the Bible and the Church have equal authority. Upon what is this based, and how could the Church justifiably give itself that kind of authority?
