Hi

My name is Rachel.

I am not that big in Christianity and such, but the rest of my family is. They've finally presuaded me, after 17 years of life, to try to become a Christian.


I'll admit, it is interesting, but I don't think the belief answers any of the questions it states.

It never mentions anything about dinosaurs, or the thousands of other speices on Earth today. But we know they existed or do exist. Where did they come from? How'd they get here, etc?

Nor does the Bible back up its own statements.

Such as the admendment, "Thou Shall not Kill Thy Neighbor". Animals, plants, and such are our neighbors but we kill them all the time.

Also, if the Bible and Christianity comdemns the Devil, why is an animal named the Tasmanian Devil????


Anyways, I decided to join this forum. Learn what I could and see if this belief is for me.

------------------------------

I HAVE NO WAY OF POSTING PICS, NO DIGITAL CAMERA AND NO SCANNERS. SORRY.

Quickly, I will tell you a little about myself.

I live in Canada. UP NORTH.

My father owns a "dude" ranch where people pay to enjoy trail rides in the surrounding area.


I have MANY pets.

one 3 1/2 year old female Betta fish called SkyDream
one 2 year old red male Betta fish called De [originally Demon]

one chestnut 4 year old Arabian stallion called FireBurn. He is my favorite.
one 3 year old black and silver stripped husky/wolf called Raptor

one white furred and brown spotted 3 year old Knabstrup filly {female horse} [looks like an appaloosa but is from Denmark not America] called Shadow

one 4 year old black Arabian stallion called Stargaze [half brother of FireBurn].
two 2 year old bay Arabian fillies; Drya and Titan
one 6 year old light grey Arabian mare, called Wolf's Heart.

two albino Boa Constrictors {snakes} [Alpha and Chalro]

My father breeds about 323 Mustangs which he uses as trail riding horses and also for the nearby rodeos.

That's all I can think of right now.

Welcome to CF, UtahRaptor! :)

Do jump in and start reading. It sounds like you are interested in the creation/evolution discussion, and you'll find that here:

http://www.christianforums.com/f70

You'll find Christians on both sides of the topic. I hope you'll find, though, that while we may not all agree on all issues, we are united in our faith in and love for God. :)

On the horizontal bar at the top of your screen, click on User CP. Then click on Edit Profile on the left sidebar. Scroll down to the Additional Information section. There's a dropdown box in that section for selecting your faith icon. HOWEVER, we have a little glitch on the board this morning, and some icons don't seem to be displaying. My faith icon isn't showing up. I'm sure it'll get fixed whenever Erwin has a chance to get to it. :)

Hi, UtahRaptor,

this is from a Spaniard married to a Canadian from Winnipeg. It was interesting to visit the Drumheller Museum in 2000, with a relative who teaches at Prairie Bible College in Three Hills, Alberta.

By the way, if you read attentively in Job 40, 15-24, you may find that Behemoth is a description of ... what? I'll leave it to you. Same with Chronosaurus ... ooops, I mean Leviathan, in Job 41, 1-11. Of course, the name dinosaur was not coined till late in the 18th century, and they had become mostly extinct by then (as so many other groups of animals ...). As to the poor devil of Tasmania, well, it was a name given to it by whoever, but it has no bearing with the condemnation of the devil as a rebelious being, the highest of God's creatures but that became the great Adversary ...

Hope that by an earnest study of the Scriptures you may find that they indeed give the answers of God to all our need.

Be very welcome ... yours cordially, :)

doulos
