Question for you guys.

[Takk]

It may be true that there are somethings that you see that we don't but I think it is also true that you may have had your mind changed because of your home schooling so you are missing things too.

I tend to dislike conspiracy theories. Not all atheists are out to take over the world

Mind changed huh? Well, thats true, my mind has changed (for the better): Romans 12:1-2 " beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" Lord says do not be conformed to this world

...my goal is ot be the complete opposite to the teens of this world..it wasnt always like that..when i first got saved..i acted like the world, talked like em..looked like 'em...God does not like that he want us christians to be perculier people..if the world wears black..im gonna wear white lol! its not like im some weirdo that sits in his room all day watching news... i know how to get out, see whats going on, meet people.. and trust me, i hope I missed out on things that go on in teen life and school...all i ever learned in the teenage world was stuff like: cuss words, bad music lyrics, if there was a dictionary or large book titled "Sex&Girls" I'd know that book front to back ..The Lord has saved me form that wickedness and now, im done with it

..im living for the Lord..and to be frank..its hard to when your hanging out with the world (Thats why the Lord says be ye seperate and set apart)..Plus, read matt. chapter 25..if that didn't get the fear of the Lord in me, i dont know what will

You seem too passive and flippent...thats not a good thing. Look: Eph. 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." In case you did not know..The Lord says there is a spiritual battle going on right now...We all know who is going to win in the end...but the Lord commands us to put on the armor of the Lord, girt up thy sword and fight!..what did you think the armor of the Lord was just for fun?...Nah..there is a battle...not many soldiers in it though.

Thank you, Praise the Lord. In Deuteronomy 6:6-7 "And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." He did not say "keep your kids out of public school" because back them im sure it was un heard of..he is saying perants should teach their children, and train them up to the way they should go... yeah its just 2 scriptures..seems not that big of a deal..but notice it said "Wich i command thee"..Jesus says in John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments"...

That verse is tell them to teach the commandments of the Lord to their children, it isn't talking about teachings outside of the Law (eg: Math or English). It even says in the verse "And these words, which I command thee this day" to show it is talking about those commandments, not other things. I agree that parents should teach their children the way they should go, but means in faith, religion, morals, not school subjects.

I have not problem with you being homeschooled.... it seems to be good for you, but I don't think it is for everyone.

You know I ment changed for the worse. Not totally. As I said it appears to be very good for you, but it may have changed your view to be slightly worse on some things. It's likely that people from public school and private school both have good and bad sides to their teaching.

But anyway its good to hear that you are fighting the good fight for good and going against the world.... as long as it is the evil world you are going against not the netural world (eg: fighting against the use of cars because the world uses cars ).

I see your point, but it is also good to be shining your light from inside the world as well as outside it. Salt and light. Salt becomes part of what it is rubbed into yet also changes the taste.

That is true, but atheists are not in on a conspiracy to brain wash public school children. Fight evil, yes..... fight for the sake of fighting, no. But yeah I can be too passive at times.

By the way do you know how to quote more than one bit at a time like in this post, because normally it is best to type only one (maybe two) big posts than 3 smaller ones?

2 big ones..than 3 smaller ones..makes sence(lol)... But...Okay, We both understand our points of veiw. I respect yours (and you) and im sure you mine (and me). Im not gonna go any further because you can't make your point any clearer than it is now, lol. We just simply have a diff. point of veiw. It has been nice having this freindly debate. May God work in both of our lives, amen?

Fair enough, sounds good

Oh wow, I completely forgot about this place until a few moments ago, when someone I know mentioned christians, and it crossed my mind. I've got a wholly lot to respond to here.

Takk and Solarwave, I'm not going to quote all this in here. It's obiviously a lot of text, and I'm pretty sure I'd break something if I quoted it all. I'm especially interested in how you use quotes from the bible to prove your point, since it's kind of wierd - Kind of like if I used a book about Evolution to prove mine, right? Starting a argument with the words "You are a Fool!" is also kind of silly.

I'd like to e-high-five the guys who respect my opinion, and at the same time smirk a bit at the more aggressive lot of you.

AtheistAaron: Does that mean your gunna continue on this thread back to the original questions? Anyway good to see you back (if you are back lol).

Yes, I am. Any questions directed at me via public posts (or PM, if that's your preference) will be answered.

Man, i forgot all about this site....But uhhh..what you said about us using the bible to prove our point...No, it is not the same as you using an evolution book to prove youre point.. Because the bible has something called "prophecies" And alot of them have came to past. (I say alot because some are down further in the future and all the signs are here to back it up) The Bible has alot of credibility because it has proven itself time adn time again. What has evolution proficied?

the bible is prophetic most defiantly! but that is because god gave the knowledge of the future to the author of the books. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. - John 1:1

evolution cant be prophetic it is impossible it is a human idea not a living thing, like the bible, but the idea of evolution is a smart one if you think about it evolution is adaptation on a lager scale. well if that is the case then the idea of evolution if far from wrong but rather i think that god created evolution when god created everything. I don't think however humans came from monkeys. I think humans have just always been. the idea that animals evolved tho is another thing i suppose because animals do adapt to there surroundings.

 

[solarwave]

Why havn't humans evolved?

 

[hudechek]

Why havn't humans evolved?

we have mentally! not so much physically tho, cuz we mentally learned how to block out physical elements so we don't need to evolve physically, god created us with intelligence, so we have something most animals don't have the ability to make complex decisions so with that ability we create things like houses, buildings, cars, boats, ect. so we made things that slowed our evolution, humans have evolved tho we used to be shorter then we are now, our immune systems have gotten stronger, but we have de-evolved to (ya i believe de-evolution is real) we have become dumber cuz of technology, and our laziness in wanting things handed to us. so we evolved in a different way is all.

 

[solarwave]

I agree with what you said about our minds now resisting evolution, but more I was asking, couldn't we have evolved from animals too?

As for intelligence I don't think our brains have got any dumber, but some people may use what they do have alot less lol

well i guess? idk man, i pretty much follow Genesis on this subject.

I believe that you are a bad person.
I believe that I am a bad person.
I believe that everyone's who's reading this post is a bad person.

You are not a bad person because you drink, or party, or even if you killed someone. Hitler was not a bad person because of his atrocious acts; he committed atrocious acts because he was a bad person. We are not bad people because of the things we do, but we do the bad things that we do because we are bad people.

We are horrendously bad, because we have horrendously bad hearts. We are not inherently bad people that slip up from time to time, but people who do bad things because in our hearts we have hated God and reject Him.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.

22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

We have made idols of ourselves and exchanged the glory of God for our own ways of seeking pleasure and satisfaction. We have trampled on the glory of God, our of our own pride and hatred of God.

Why because Adam and Eve ate fruit that god put down? That's like your dad stealing a book and being kicked out of the city, then his children have to suffer unless they say they are sorry.
