I think the flood was mainly caused by melting ice glaciers. Most ancient texts refer to a large flood. Perhaps it didn't cover ever single piece of land, but I think there is just as much evidence for one as aganist one. It's a matter of faith, really, and I would rather believe that the flood...

The organization of the layers doesn't disprove a flood but a young earth. I believe that evolution did occur and does occur, that the earth and universe are several billion years old, and that there was a world wide flood some several thousand years ago. That doesn't go aganist any known facts.

John 8:5-9 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he...

Yeah. You left out the two bombers. Saying that a democrat can't be a Christian is total bull. You are a bigot.

You can definately be a Democrat and be a Christian. It all depends on you believing in Christ as your Savior and repenting of your sins. Some Republicans have done nasty things too, you know. Think...Nixon. Things he said on those tapes weren't exactly Godly. And remember Eric Rudolph? Tim...

This is exactly the division and strife I was referring to. This is a trivial issue.

And that is what I am responding to. Do you not understand? I am telling her that our differences do not matter. That is the trivial part.

It doesn't matter if you believe our universe was created in a literal seven days or a symbolic seven days. What does matter is that you believe it was, indeed, created and is the work of the Living God. What does matter is that you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, and the...

That's very weird.

But you should also remember that drug companies make money off of sick people, not healthy people.

What's this mess about being saved by initation into a church? If you believe in Jesus and ask him into your heart then that is enough to be saved.

You don't have to change everything overnight. Keep your music and book collection for now, but just don't buy any more of them. You can gradually phase the "bad" music out of your life. That holds true for many things. Some things, however, should be stopped immediately if possible. Things like...

But he says "hate". Can anyone address my second question?

So how would you know when one really did "hate" someone and didn't just love one less than another?

"If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple." What?! I'm not going to hate my parents....I don't understand this. Anyone want to take a stab at it?

Thanks guys.

I'm not sure. :scratch:

But how can I not doubt? It is impossible for me to just "stop doubting".

But I am not a very strong Christian; barely one actually, though I long to believe and have great faith. Your anwser seems geared toward people who already have a good, strong understanding of God. I do not. It is hard for me to accept that the loving God I sing of in songs at worship and read...

Please help me. I am a new Christian and I am struggling with the Bible, this passage in particular. Why would my loving God do such a thing? :sigh: :help: Numbers 31 Vengeance on the Midianites 1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 "Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After...
