    Well sure he/she can challenge, but not argue...see the difference? I can start a thread, you may post a response, but I don't agree with your response....so I can ask you why you feel or think this way. That way we can start a discussion, not an agrument. Hope I cleared that up.:)

    girlfriend and i were up late talking about god and she has a few questions

    I have recently read that the dinasours were destroyed (killed) when the earth suffered serious climate changes. Tidal waves, earth quakes, ice melts, etc had started before Adam and Eve.....which brings us to the question that the Bible states that Adam and Eve were created within the first 7...

    I'd have to agree with the majority.......if the op is long, lengthy and boring I don't bother with it. Also if it's just a link posted, that's another one I'd skip. I prefer threads with thought out posts and ideas. Why bore us to death with links and lengthy posts where your mind drifts...

    The Body of Christ Welcomes You

    Jesus died on the cross with his arms extended. It is said by many that his arms were extended to embrace all those who came to him in love and faith. Welcome to all those who are coming into the fullness of faith tomorrow evening. God bless you as you walk through your journey with the Lord...

    Concerned/Trying to Understand the Logic

    Christy I know how you feel and how deeply it pains us to see others post things such as the one you showed in here. Some of us are affected by posts like that while others can allow it slide. I guess I'm one that it affects and breaks my heart to see it. It also breaks my heart to see those...

    A letter from the Vatican

    "It is clear that penitents living in a habitual state of serious sin and who do not intend to change their situation cannot validly receive absolution," Exactly. One can not receive forgiveness if you are not in a state of repentance. God forgives those who come before him with a repentive...

    are Cathloic people allowed to have spiritual discernment?

    Yes definately Catholics are to have spiritual discernment! It is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and we receive the Holy Spirit upon confirmation. BTW, Charles Stanely is also one of my favorites.

    The Altar

    I often wondered why many do not genuflect or bow their head when passing the Tabernacle. I was taught that we are to genuflect or bow to show respect.

    What does your Username mean?

    Fiat is latin which means "Let it be done". The word (Fiat) is associated with Mary's response at the Annunciation when the angel foretold that Mary would be the Mother of Jesus, the Son of God. Mary said "Behold I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word"...

    can God be defined? (Spong)

    The ultimate goal of the universe is to show the glory of God. It is the reason for everything that exists, including you. God made it all for his glory. Without God's glory, there would be nothing. What is the glory of God? It is WHO God is. It is the essence of his nature, the weight of...

    If there is a loving God then why there is so much suffering?

    In response to the OP.....Pain is the fuel of passion, it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don't normally possess. C.S. Lewis said, "pain is God's megaphone". It is God's way of arousing us from spiritual lethargy. Your problems are not punishments; they are wake up calls from...

    Is it ever right to lie?

    I think it depends upon the state of your heart. Are you lying to protect yourself or are you lying to protect another person?

    Joe Millionaire

    I haven't watched this show but I am pleased that he felt strongly about asking God to bless his food. We always ask for a blessing over our food whether eating at home or out.

    Um, violence isn't going to solve anything. Report him to the one who is over him and/or the proper authorities.

    church violence

    Sorry, I can't believe that an all loving, forgiving God would "slam people around". Nope, I don't accept this.

    Grey Area

    I agree, as a former black and white believer, I have come to realize and accept that grey areas definately exist. There is so much we do not understand and we try to put in a box. Not everything fits within the box, hence the grey area. And that site was ...... :cry:
