I began having a short conversation with Chalnoth tonight. We'd been discussing that I wanted to learn more about evolution, as I'm fairly ignorant on the subject, and tonight he asked me what exactly I was confused about. Well, I wound up asking "How did it exactly start? Did some random cell...

Well, I wasn't really sure where to ask this, so this seemed semi best fit :) I'm a pretty dang liberal christian now (hence posting in the liberal section of the congregation...go me!). Anyways, the last year has basically been me really struggling with my faith. For a while I was basically...

Hey there! So I'm getting to the point where I'm considering studying evolution a bit more. I know very little about it, but I know a lot of people that constantly tell me that scientifically evolution is pretty much a fact. So...I figured it's time to start studying it. So what I'm asking...

Why is Islam spreading so fast? It's growing at a really rapid pace, faster than I realized. Why? What is so great about it? I know a little (not a lot) about Islam, but from what I do know, I'm not a fan. Anyone know why it's spreading so fast?

Why does God exist? What purpose does it hold?

Hey, this isn't really a "deep thought" thread or anything, but I just wanted to know if Mormons are Christian. I don't think they are and I got mad at my teacher on Friday because she said they were. We got into a mini debate about it and I didn't want to get into trouble so I just shutup. But...

Is Satan, Lucifer? I don't think he is. I'm not all greatly studied on this subject, but here's a website I was given a while ago... http://www.crivoice.org/lucifer.html It explains the basics. I believe Satan existed before mankind. As in, when God created the earth Satan was here and then...

Hey, I'm gonna start a study on things that god did in the OT that were good, but didnt harm anyone in the process. Do you have any suggestion on what I should read? Like the flood, God killed lots of people. Like when saving His people from bondage in Exodus, there was a lot of death within...

What is the soul? Why is it considered to be so precious? What attributes does it carry (lol..if any??).

Does God draw people to Him? Choose who He draws to Him? Thus, some people not being drawn to Him and therefor not being able to find Him on their own because God hadn't chose them? Does this happen? Don't respond with simply yes or no...that's simply annoying :wave:

It seems to me that a lot of debates between non christians and Christians always winds up being about the origin of things. Christian: "Where did your matter come from? All of the energy and everything had to of come from somewhere! Therefor, it came from God!" Non Christian: "Yeah, well where...

I'm currently taking a social studies class called You and the Law. It's a fairly stupid class, but I just want to get social studies out of the way so I don't have to take it any more. That's besides the point.... In that class we just got done watching a movie about the history of punishment...

14 Now the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD tormented him. So I heard a sermon today that was centered around this scripture...well..this passage...but I couldn't help but dwell on this scripture the whole time while trying to listen to the sermon...

I was presented with this question earlier, and I sorta just threw an answer at him sorta just trying to hide my speechless attitude. What do you think? Why do YOU think they are right? ~~~~~~ By faith, people came to the conclusion that the earth was flat, 6000 years old, the center of the...

"thou shalt not kill" --the Bible. Ever read it? I haven't. Now murder...sure. "thou shalt not murder" is a definite on it being in the Bible. So what's the difference? If God told us "thou shalt not kill" then he would be quite the hypocrite, don't you think? He himself told the Israelites...

Is pre-marital sex a sin? The Bible never really directly says anything about it. It talks about fornication. But back then fornication was referred to as prostitution and adultery. So, tell me is it wrong? Help me out on this one and don't be so general as to just say "yes or no" that...

Just a quick question: If two families are on an island, that has 1 fruit tree (The only sourse of food), that can only support one family (if they try to share it between 2, people WILL starve), is it a sin to try to kill members of the other family so your can survive? Say your the head of...

What is so bad about dating non christians? I know the Bible says to not be unequally yoked or whatever, but why? What is so bad about it? I've even heard people be so picky as to being "equally" yoked, that they wouldn't even date someone who just became a christian. And I'm just sitting back...
