    21st Century Christian View of Mental Illness

    Excellent choice for discussion here. Too many are frightened away from dealing with it. I am a pastor so I counsel with people quite often. I know very well that mental illness is very real and that I am often unqualified to deal with some individuals and I'm not too naive to know and admit it...

    It's that time of year again and I'm getting a new one(catalog) everyday it seems. Haven't gotten my Henry Fields or Gurneys yet though. I enjoy going through the catalogs with my boys. Where is the best place to order onion plants from ?

    How many kids do you have and how old are they?

    I already posted in here a while back about our own children. We have five but I figured I'd get some good discussion going again by bringing up my siblings here. I'm the youngest of 16. Anybody else on here come from a big er huge family ? There were 8 boys and 8 girls in my family and no...

    Praise to the Man!

    Obviously this is an LDS hymn and it will be supported here by Mormons and not by the rest of us so I will not comment on the hymn itself but rather on the issue that causes the division here. Joseph Smith was not a prophet from god any more than I am and neither did God inspire him to write a...

    Is being Wiccan moral?

    Regardless of what a Wiccan pledges to do be it kind or not....If you are a Christian you have the only motivation you need to do good. (Col. 3:23)-And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; (1 Cor. 10:31)-Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do...

    Problem with the "existence" of God

    Believing in the God of the bible it is impossible to first see him and then believe yet that is the progression that comes most natural to men. The bible makes no apologies for the fact that men must believe through faith to see anything of God's reality. Paul said in Hebrews that without Faith...

    Primodial Soup

    I do not personally know any Christians who believe in the soup story. Of course anyone can call theirself a Christian but it takes faith to believe all of the bible is true.

    Is Smoking Marijuana Sinful?

    Lots of sins are not adressed directly in the bible and I'm sure there are some more sins we'll figure out to do that aren't in there either. As for smoking pot....I know several people that do and it has changed them for the worse in every aspect of their lives. Smoking of any kind is...

    Diabetic candy recipes?

    I am a diabetic and I have found the websites for both equal -- equal.com and splenda.com have wonderful recipes for candys and more. Splenda or equal by the spoonful are great for baking. One thing to remember when using sugar substitues is that the cookies will not always brown like normal...

    Are Mormons Christians?

    I assume that the reason that this question is being posed is because of the LDS non-belief in the deity of Jesus. There are many doctrinal differences which christians fellowship across but this is a huge issue for those who accept Christ as God incarnate. Almost all of what are considered...

    Just who do you claim created you, GOD or man?

    Nathan as Christians we accept the creation story completely on faith and not the merits of how plausible it may seem to the human mind. Are you admitting by your corellation that the Big Bang is also accepted based on faith rather than factual evidence ? Are there any atheists or agnostics on...

    Achieved morality without God:

    who said good and evil are absolutes? what is good and evil? I don't know where you stand but these questions go to prove what I said about good and evil. There are no absolutes if there is no God and as for your second question you cannot define good and evil with an enduring definition if...

    Just who do you claim created you, GOD or man?

    Christians believe that God created the earth and all of its inhabitants. Evolutionists believe the earth created itself. By the way The Big Bang Theory is tyhe silliest theory ever embraced by modern humanistic society.

    Why is creationism largely an American phenomenon?

    Creationism is a biblical phenomenom if that's the word you wish to use and anywhere people accept the word of God through faith they will believe the Genesis account of man's origin. 200 years ago a majority of men either accepted creation or they didn't think about it. The evolution theory...

    Achieved morality without God:

    Without a God good and evil can certainly not be absolute. Good and evil become a matter of perspective. They are determined by the opinion of a majority and that is very different in various places in this world. The bible says in Prov. 14:12-There is a way which seemeth right unto a man but...

    The Evolution Theory (Racist?)

    It may not be the intent of anyone who accepts the theory but isn't it necessarily racist ? Bible believers accept that God is responsible for the differences in men. But if you believe that all living things can be placed somewhere on an evolutionary chain as they call it then the differences...
