If implying that you might have an IQ of 145 as opposed to 165 constitutes an ad hominem attack for you then you might want to work toward thickening your skin a little bit.

If you're suggesting that I concede that God contradicts Himself, you're wasting your time. I've debated it to the typical stalemate with people whom I doubt you could outsmart.

Business and politics have everything to do with everything they possibly can to increase their wealth and power.

There is a difference between acknowledging scientific activity as profitable to the health and welfare of the earth and its inhabitants, and holding science up as a standard by which all things must be verified. And at increasingly alarming rates, far too many Christians are either oblivious...

I have a 33-year-old son who pretty much lives for the stuff. He was raised (largely) in church, but he is woefully behind in the understanding of Scripture and spiritual matters (and aren't we all?). I rue the day I brought home that 8-bit Nintendo system, but he has never given us the...

What makes you think I have a choice? (rhetorical question) And the hits just keep on coming. So you hold to some date-setting brand of dispensationalism, do you? (I can't keep up with the rampant pluralism in play in modern Christendom.) This is not actually directed at you, personally...

Now you're talking, Brother.

I did no such thing. I have no such allergy. I have reason to believe that the creation account, while perhaps containing some symbolic elements (as most of Scripture does) is not non-literal. I also subscribe to the principle that some Scripture, such as certain visions and dreams by Joseph...

I used to watch a lot of old black-and-white movies. I once heard a preacher say that virtually none of the people involved in making movies are interested in what God wants or feels, nor are they interested in the viewer's spiritual welfare. I've cut way back on my viewing over the years...

Yes. Harriman, Roane County. I don't live there anymore but when I go back I witness a lot of animosity toward minorities and non-Christians. I find it quite disturbing. I also find that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

Are you able to do it and love God with all your heart, mind, and soul and your neighbor as yourself simultaneously?

The problem is that the Father = old covenant, Son = new covenant motif flies in the face of the "I and My Father are One" declaration.

You're very kind.

I might have figured one or two things out in 44 years of reading and studying. I aren't educated like some guys is, but I thought I are smart enuff. That's odd since there's no indication that Christ had the advantage of fancy study tools as a child and yet He amazed the learned doctors of...

Cherry-picking baloney. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4) By your words Christ Himself is judged to be irresponsible.

Yes, He most certainly did. Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (John 5:39) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us (John 1:14) But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by...

There are no eyewitnesses to what happened at creation, except God who inspired the writing of the Book of Genesis. Quite a qualified opinion. Who's this "we" you're talking about? I don't know any such thing. The condescending tone is a nice touch, though.

Oh, I get it, all right. Academia elitist-driven, faithless hog swill is what I get. God can change things that are of a natural order but He cannot be trusted to tell us how they came to be in the first place. What's good for the goose turns out not to be so good for the gander, after all...

There is plenty of scientific evidence that people don't live forever. And that 1+1+1 do not equal 1. And that virgin birth is impossible. What about common sense? Isn't science based entirely on it? And miracles? There is no difference. The absence of evidence is as compelling to scientists as...

Say, while we're smiling and making lists and inviting scientists to vomit all over our sacred accounts of origins: What say we give them a crack at some of our core beliefs as well? Shouldn't we get their okay on things such as: -God Who is 1 and 3 at the same time--you know, 1+1+1=1? -One of...
