    School Chaplains get $243 million

    I think you have misrepresented this allocation of funds by comparing it to other cuts. There is already a Chaplains program in place. My understanding the existing funding is finished 12/2014. The Govt has renewed its commitment to this program by providing funding for another 5 years.

    Question about AOG/Pentecostal beliefs

    We cannot condemn anyone. Thats not our job, Jesus gets to do that later. As for being critical of other christians theology, or practices, thats fine as long as you apply two rules; 1. you have based your criticism on scripture. 2. you only share your criticism with like minded believers...

    Looking for a new church(Sydney) Leaving a cult

    WHen you find a new church just go to the car park and watch people go in. If most of them are carrying a bible, then go in. If not, dont, go find another one. Simple trick but effective :-)

    is Hillsong really a cult?

    Its a laugh that every objection about Hillsong seems be all about the money. If you do not want to tithe your money to Hillsong, then don't, there is no need to come up with the ridiculous excuses why not. I dont give them any money myself, but why would I, I do what Ps Brian teaches at...

    Hebrew Cosmology

    To be dogmatic about what the firmament is exactly appears to be somewhat foolish in my mind, because there is no way really to know, and scholars are not in agreement at all. Plus It leaves it way open to critics to argue against it, and think they have proven genesis false. By all means...

    There are NO contradictions in the bible

    Its a pity that your topic has just encouraged people to mindlessly steal lists of contradictions from random websites that scholars have explained long ago (even hundreds of years ago). I have a genuine contradiction, that you wont find on any website. :-) Why did the hierarchy need Pilates...

    which books did Jesus quote

    Most of what Jesus said is from scripture, or his interpretation of scripture. He used Rabbi techniques, especially when speaking to the hierarchy and whilst they understood such oblique references we wont.

    No need to wait, but then again, actually reading what you are replying to is not one of your strong points.

    Human Population

    I use Creation.com not AIG, many of the articles are the same. Took me 10 seconds to find an article on that exact topic, by searching on populaiton+growth+tower+babel. Different organisation but that still undermines such a childish claim. Noah and Genetics How large was the population...

    It wasnt a tactic, I made it clear in the same paragraph that I would not use it as an argument. Nobody could have missed that, surely.....I guess i was wrong.

    Someone said men came from apes.

    The typical Creationist agrees with all of those observed facts of natural selection. They just dont accept pond scum to people evolution Having no problem with it is fine, . however this is not the same as the natural selection that we observe. Yep - and they are still bears.

    Did jesus go to india?

    Could this mean Jesus went to India; yes its possible but not probable (IMHO) and no I did not watch the Video. (what video?)and i wont, because I'll assume its crap before watching it, especially if it is long. If a synopsis was given that might intrigue me

    Human Population

    I didn't know that. Did you also look for an article they probably have that has an estimate of what they think the population was at that time- that would have been a helpful contribution, rather than postulate your own estimate. I am simply projecting population growth from 8 people over...

    I said most not all. If you re going to make accusations of 'not understanding plain english' you should make sure you apply the same standards to yourself. I already told you I do not know - in plain english. Yet you keep hammering away.

    Human Population

    Agreed, obviously a linear population growth modem does not stack up. Also assuming typical family sizes of 2.4 children it still does not stack up, so we need to consider what is the norm back then plus what Genesis itself says. The major factor is the long ages- Noah 950, his son Shem 500...

    Brothers in Scripture

    Its a surprise to have an agnostic( or an atheist) to actually consider and question the text based on what the text says without invoking their presuppositions. First thing to come to mind, is Joseph and his brothers, when he as PM of Egypt went out of his way to help them in their time of...

    At what point does 'Untrue' become 'True'?

    How do you know that is true.

    Thats funny 'cos that is exactly what the creationists say about you evolutionists! This thread topic is about Creationism. Demonstrating does carry weight. Saying something is nonsense does not. Most of this thread is hand waving, claims of nonsense, and the catchall 'I'm right your wrong"...
