    christian schools with secular teaching??

    Secular schools aren't bad, if you plan on spending you life fixing computers or crunching numbers, or cooking, or whatever, but what I'm trying to ask is, is it right for a school that claims to be christian to teach a heresy to people whos job it is to teach others about the word of God? As...

    christian schools with secular teaching??

    I haven't been able to find one accredited college level biology book that doesn't teach evolution as a fact. This of course excludes materials used in homeschool/internet courses. I agree that Christians need to know what's going on in the real world, but I've noticed that once you're out in...

    christian schools with secular teaching??

    Over the past few months I've been looking for a Christian college to go to and I've noticed that all of the accredited colleges I've seen have gen. ed. requirments that require courses in biology, which means these Christian colleges are teaching evolution if they plan on keeping their...

    Hell, Is It Fair?

    Is it judging someone to tell them that they would go to hell if they where to die right now? If you know someone has rejected Christ and you tell them the truth, that they would go to hell if they died right now, how is that judging? That's part of telling them the truth. How can you explain...

    Hell, Is It Fair?

    :eek: That is completely the wrong attitude to have. I know what it's like to have friends and family that haven't accepted Jesus, trust me. But if you just accept that they're going to hell, there's something out of place. You need to give them a reason to come to Christ. You need to set an...

    Hell, Is It Fair?

    The fact of the matter is that it doesn't matter how good of a life you live, if you aren't saved you don't go to heaven, you go to hell. Eternal life isn't given according to works. It doesn't matter how many homeless people you feed, or how much you give to charity, or even how many hail...

    Hell, Is It Fair?

    The reason that some people find God and other people don't is, in my opinion, that those who don't find God aren't looking for Him. They're looking for their own God, one that fits the perception they have of what God should be like. There's nothing hard about finding God unless you aren't...

    World of Warcraft

    WARNING! I've been playing the free trial for about a week now and I've noticeed that WoW has taken me away from God. I blame this on myself, not the game, but I went from spending most of my free time focusing on God and slowly, over the last week, to not really spending any free time with...

    World of Warcraft

    I just bought the 14 day trial at Walmart for 2 bucks. We'll see how that goes. Has anyone played Star Wars Galaxies? It looks cool but I've never played it.

    I am so done with.....

    I'm so done with Democrat vs Republican... people should realize that it isn't required to vote for one of those two only. For instance, they could vote Libertarian. Don't forget to read the platforms of all candidates, you'd be surprised by many of them.

    World of Warcraft

    I don't have much experience with WoW, monthly fees aren't my style, but I do have 6 years experience playing D&D. They are in fact similar in a way. Do watch out for those "D&D is EVIL!!" types. I've read a lot of material about this subject (mostly from the 80's) and I've determined that the...

    I'm Getting Baptized

    Yep. That's right. This Sunday I'll be getting baptized. It's been two years or so since I accepted Christ in to my life and now that I'm sure that I'm a firm believer I've made decided to get baptized. Pray for me, this is the first time many of my family members will have ever been to church...

    Abortion OK for a raped girl of 11? Nah.

    First, the Bible condemns the shedding of innocent blood. A baby counts as innocent. Genesis 9:6 - Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man. Exodus 20:13 - You shall not murder. Deuteronomy 27:25a - Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to...

    Question about Genesis 9:18-27

    Well then... that was surprisingly simple. Funny how one can obtain insight from more complex area of the Bible and be stumped by the basic ones. Thank you.

    Question about Genesis 9:18-27

    Ok, I made a commitment to read the Bible three chapters a day. Today I read Genesis 7-9. At the end of Genesis 9 (18-27) Noah gets drunk and passes out naked. Ham sees him and tells Shem and Japheth and they cover him up with their backs turned to him. Later, Noah wakes up and realizes what has...

    I'm full of (that word). I need help.

    First, remember that God will not allow you to be tempted more than what you can bear. Second, you need to try and be a witness to her. We're called to witness and there's a reason you're in her life. Even if you're unsuccessful, you tried. After that leave. As Christians we're going to...

    Old Flames (Adults Only)

    I don't have any old flames but I do have regrets. When I was 15 I was living in a friends house after being displaced by a house fire. One day, while I was there alone, his cousin came over and we ended up having sex. I had only known her for one day and after that I haven't seen her since. At...

    Gay athletes???????????

    I don't think it should matter if an athlete is gay or not. Just like it shouldn't matter if an athlete has blue eyes or not. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with playing sports. However, I would have a problem if a homosexual was using his fame as an athlete to promote a homosexual agenda...

    purgatory what do you think?

    "Catholics are kooky," - I agree, but I disagree that catholics are refering to judgement when they speak of purgatory. Even though I find no biblical support for the belief in purgatory and thus do not believe in purgatory, I also agree that it would be better to be in purgatory than in...

    purgatory what do you think?

    You are correct when you say that no unclean thing can enter Heaven. You won't hate Bob because the blood of the Lamb will have cleansed away your sin (including hate). You die, you stand judgement before the Lord, your name is in the book of life because you accepted Jesus Christ so your sins...
