That alone is commendable, and we all here want to encourage you in seeking truth in the matter. As suggested above, understand that we're all expected and invited...

    Happy Easter

    For those who care, may today be a joyful day of celebrating Easter. And for those that just don't get it but might like to understand what the big fuss is about that warrants the attention of over 2 billion people in the world today, here's a video you can watch privately from home. The Sunday...

    Was there death before the Fall?

    I understand your point, but suggest that one can't judge the Bible's truth based upon a premise of understanding every potential underlying detail. There's simply too many events that have happened in this universe's history for us to know or understand how everything happened. We learn a lot...

    What Stores To Avoid And What Stores to Shop At

    I commend your thought to the issue Nmeckert. I too, only the past few years, have begun to keep a list of the businesses, organizations and individuals that are openly fighting God. I consider them an enemy of Christianity that should be remembered and considered whenever issues arise...

    Can you help with this quandary?

    OldWoodsman, you've raised too many questions or objections for one thread, though I give you credit for seeking God and truth. Might I suggest that most of your issues have been thoroughly addressed by Christian apologists. If you take one concern at a time and do some internet research from...

    Transgenderism Is A Real Threat To Christians

    Every week you can find Christian news reports of people around the world losing their jobs, being arrested, or being tried for voicing opposition to, or even questioning the transgender cultural trend. What's surprising is that most of these cases involve individuals making comments on private...

    Trump Sides With Christians - Again

    I understand the hatred for Trump runs deep and thus never attempt to defend his egotistcal character, offensive statements, or questionable business dealings. But, his specific actions of support for Christianity in America and around the world has surpassed any other president since Ronald...

    I am such a lukewarm Christian...

    Although I've been a Bible believing, saved Christian all of my life, my career and self centered interests overshadowed my faith. Like many if not most professing Christians and Catholics, I spent most of my life being silent, passive, and minimally engaged with my faith. A few things changed...

    Feeling lackadaisical about God....

    I've been a life-long Christian too but spent 40 years focusing primarily on my career, with my faith being genuine but not a priority in life. Mandatory retirement promptly changed that. Being forced to find a new purpose in life led me to spending more time and attention to my faith, which...

    Why are some Christians in America democrats despite most democrats these days having most views against God ?

    I think the masses of professing Christians and Catholics supporting liberal/progressive/Democratic leaders are the same ones who embrace evolutionary theory, separation between church and state, religious equality, and other secular values that undermine their faith. In short, they have...

    A global flood is simply untenable

    The only way to dismiss the Global flood event is to reject the Genesis 6-8 account written by Moses as a clearly detailed, literal historical event. Doing that requires one to also dismiss Peter's reference to the world deluge in 1 Peter 3:20, 2 Peter 2:4-5, and 2 Peter 3:5-6, Jesus' reference...

    Science is Dead to me

    I've learned from experience that arguing evolution vs creation with those holding a strong, opposing world view is ineffective. Each side will interpret the evidence according to their heart's mandate, regardless of the evidential facts, with material justification being easily found for both...

    Happy Thanksgiving

    I won't repeat the Christian heritage background I detailed last year for this American holiday, but do encourage others to give thanks, glory, and praise specifically to the one true God who's responsible for our many blessings. You might also use the occasion as a witnessing opportunity to...

    Science is Dead to me

    I can't take the time and space here to present a solid defense of creationism over evolution, but there certainly is an abundance of scientific evidence supporting the former over the latter. If it doesn't line up with popular secular theology, it's labeled as pseudo-science to be ridiculed...

    Science is Dead to me

    Looks like I'll offer the lone dissenting opinion here. And after studying scientific evidence for creationism versus evolution for 24 years, I feel qualified to do so. I agree with a dozen of the most brilliant historical founders of the science disciplines - that the study of science leads...

    Are we responsible for the politics and morality of our country's?

    How can anyone love others without caring about the welfare and spiritual condition of his nation's people? It seems to me that Christians have an obligation to influence others, both individually and collectively, towards Christian beliefs and Biblical moral values. Clearly, there are...

    God knows... so why wait?

    I can't know God's thoughts for sure, but I can pose 3 reasonable answers. God skipping the world's 6000+ years of human history is incompatible with foreknowing future events that never would have happened. The question assumes an impossibility. If God created the world and us us for his...

    Confused on what to think

    Intelligent design is a rational way to reject evolutionary theory without embracing Biblical creationism. But while it clearly opposes evolutionary theory, it is in fact supportive of Biblical creationism. Both hold that a supernatural being had to create the materialistic universe and life...

    Natural selection, naturally wrong

    I found the article written with far more scientific insight and intellect than any ignorant high schooler could produce. It is however, a refutation of evolutionary theory and soliciting comments on it Aussie Pete is asking for trouble. First, most Bible believing creationists don't care...

    How does a young Earth (no ice ages) explain large areas of rock scouring? Can anything but glaciers do this?

    I can't even guess the number of scientists in the world, yet alone determine what numbers of them might change their views on the old earth vs new earth religious debate. Having studied the creation versus evolution issue seriously for years though, it's obvious that the vast majority of...
