Hi Tim, Thanks for the link. I will check it out. Sunrise

Hi Xapis, There is actually an OPC church about ten minutes away from my house that I am seriously considering looking into. Sunrise

Hi NBF, This may be true. I would appreciate your prayers in the area of "stepping out in faith," as this is not always easy ... (understatement of the year!) I've been on E Harmony and did not find it to be helpful, personally. I think I need to meet people in person. For me it is too...

Hi Calvinist Dark Lord, I don't think it would really matter if there were more people at my church that were my own age. If I told people in my congregation that I was looking for someone to share my life with and they led me to some good fundamentalist/non-denominational/ dispensationalist/...

I need to talk to someone about what is going on in my life ... I grew up in a moderately fundamentalist/non-denominational/ dispensationalist/generally Arminian church. It is the church I still attend, actually. Very recently (i.e. about 3-4 months ago) I was introduced to confessional...

Here's an article with a number of examples: http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/5274/ I think it is more likely that the scientists are deceiving themselves. So the only way God could have created the earth is in a way that would leave no evidence that He actually did it? That...

Yes, oftentimes because results are discarded as invalid if they don't agree with the date that has already been set based on fossil content or position in the geological column. Contamination is not the only issue young-earth creationists have with radiometric dating. Another issue is...

This explains how conventional geology interprets magnetic reversals, but how does this contradict what was said in the CMI and ICR articles about magnetic reversals? An interpretation of the data, no matter how conventionally accepted, is not the same thing as a fact.

Wow, I was gone for a little more than a week and look at how much discussion my question has generated ... I am very disturbed, however, that this thread seems to have degenerated into a shouting match as to who is right on this issue, and I never intended it to be that way. It seems as...

I was trying to look at the movie from the perspective of what a non-Christian would see when watching the film. Bruce saying "OK, God, you win, I don't want to be God anymore" does not equal repentance in the Biblical sense even though we might see some parallels when looking at this from our...

Hello all, Recently I have been having doubts about the dispensationalist/pre-trib view of eschatology (something I have always been taught). Basically at this point all I can say about myself regarding my end-times belief is that I am a premillenilalist. My main problem with the...

I completely agree with you on this. I think that this is the mentality of a lot of Christians in America, and I think that they misplace their efforts. Jesus Himself said that His kingdom was not of this world (at least not in this present age). God has to change people's hearts -...

He says it's what he "believes the Lord was saying" to him. He gives the impression that he could be misunderstanding what the Lord is saying, which gives him another way out if the prophecy fails. I think if the Lord really wants to speak through someone, there will be no question about the...

It seems to me as though the issue of whether the creation days were literal days was not really an issue in the church until scientists in the late 1700s - early 1800s began to say that the earth was millions of years old (based on dubious assumptions that sedimentation rates throughout history...

I don't pray the sinner's prayer compulsively, but oftentimes I keep asking God to forgive me over and over again for specific sins even though I've already confessed and repented of them.

I think the "God" portrayed in Bruce Almighty is how our popular culture perceives God - basically a grandfatherly figure in the sky who doesn't care about sin and who will probably let everyone into Heaven because they are basically good. This "God" is love but not much more than that - and...

The problem is that it doesn't seem to matter whether Robertson's prophecies come true or not ... he can always say, "Well, I guess God's people prayed and God had mercy on us" (and Robertson did say something to this effect about last year's prophecy not coming true). So either way he's off...

Thanks for all your replies. I am currently seeing a Christian counselor for other issues (related to AS) so I will try to bring these issues up next time I go. I just need prayer for courage to be honest and open about them.

You're welcome. Of course, when we try to play by their materialistic rules as they insist. I wasn't talking just about radiocarbon dating, but all radiometric dating - i.e. uranium/thorium/lead, potassium/argon, etc. which are used for fossils and rocks that are supposedly millions of years...

I think the key word is "experimentally." A distinction is often made in creationist literature between "operational science" which deals with matters that are observable, testable and repeatable in the present, and "origins science" which requires starting beliefs/assumptions about the past...
