    Have men and women always been friends?

    Seriously, I'm not taking a side, just a question... Our generation (for this purpose, I'm defining that as currently between the ages of 20-40) has grown up with the social norm being to have many cross-gender friendships. Well, the western world anyway - I can't speak to modern...

    How do you let someone down easy?

    So, I went on a kinda date tonight with a girl I met on-line. She was nice and we hung out and just talked over coffee... but I'm not attracted to her. Just before she left she said, "This was fun, I'd like to do it again sometime." I, tongue-tied at that moment because I had made my mind up...

    I've fallen down

    I'm not sure what to do. I haven't been following God very long, but I think I was doing okay for awhile. I just fell down. I have no-one in my life really and everybody that cares about me is an unbeliever. So, out of loneliness and frustration, I started hanging around with my old friends...

    If you were in a relationship...

    would it be an idol unto you? I think I would have been guilty of putting a woman above God in my heart before recently.

    Can anyone give a reason why cosmic ray flux normal to the earth's surface for all time must be a constant?

    ****debate the rapture catch-all thread****

    Ok, how about instead 10,000 threads debating the rapture, we just confine it to this thread? We could actually have threads about the signs of the times, prophecies and other stuff pertainent to the study of the end! I'll start. I think a straightforward understanding of the rapture leads...

    Salvation by grace v. works theology

    The emphasis placed on grace OPPOSED to works is the equivalent of doing this IMO: UNWORTHY servant We must produce the fruits of repentance born of grace. To do otherwise is to twist Paul's wisdom, ignore James outright and forget Jesus' parable of the tree which would not produce fruit.

    Uniformitarianism

    Just curious, but is there any reason (other than uniformitartianism) to believe that the extrapolations performed in the various dating techniques are necessarily an accurate picture of the past? As I understand it, all radiometric dating techniques are based on the presupposition that...

    Libertarianism

    What do you do with your non-christian friends?

    Not like <exasperated sigh> what am I going to do with you??? More like, do you go out drinking with them? If so, what do you say when they're talking about hooking up? Or what do you do if you're at a point where if you want to, you're pretty sure you could have sex (I guess that last one is...

    Didja ever notice that...

    The more that you make yourself smile, the better your mood becomes? :) Kind of weird, but its something that I'm just learning... also, I always used to just smile with the left side of my face, which basically looks like a sarcastic smirk, which wasn't my intent, but I'm pretty sure it was...

    First Beast of Revelation

    Hi, I was thinking about the first beast of revelation with respect to daniels four beasts. I think that the first beast is not exactly the same as the fourth beast of daniel - but they share a form of authority and even territory. Identifying the first four beasts from daniel is fairly...

    Fire on the earth, division and the narrow gate

    I know that its nice sometimes to think that everyone will go to heaven, or that there are many paths to God. If I didn't believe in Christ Jesus, I surely wouldn't care (and didn't before conversion) about wanton sexuality, continual dissipation, idolitry or any of the victimless sins. But...

    Daniel 9:24-27 (NIV) 24 Seventy 'sevens' are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. 25 "Know and understand this: From...
