Sorry to rain on your parade, but this is just a nice story Never claimed it as any more than that. Just thought it was thought provoking, and I believe, trueor not (I'll check into it) does have a ring of truth to it. I have yet to hear of any Muslim Cleric denouncing their people's violence. In f
As a stay at home Mom who went to work only when the kids were all in school fulltime (mother's hours)I am now reaping the benefits that many of these women will never know. I wouldn't have traded seeing my children's firsts for anything that the business world had to offer me. It was just not worth it for me. Money cannot replace my time with my kids. I was the one who taught them how to walk. I was the one that spent hours in the
Wow T....just read your link. I had a similar experience as you way back when my son was 12. I completely understood the anger you felt at his disrespect. Parenting isn't for cowards....that's for sure. It's hard work but you will reap the benefits in a huge way someday for all this hard work. I remember one day when my son thought I was being unreasonable and said he was going to run away. I picked him up off the couch by his ear and
I'm sorry to hear about your Aunt, Tova, but I love her spunk!! She's my kind of gal. I hope I can be like her if I face the same situation. Like Danny said, we're all dying here. The land of the living isn't here that's for sure. I'm looking forward to the time I can shed this body and trade it in for a new glorified one. Give your Aunt lots of hugs!! I'm sure a hug from you just makes her day!!
Well said and something for us all to strive for. We can never go wrong doing right. We are all works in progress and cannot be made perfect this side of eternity.
geeeeeesh no love lost here huh? But sooooooo true. Maybe we should start a campaign to pray for her.....hehehehe can you imagine Hilary preaching Jesus!!! Me neither......but I've seen the unbelieveable happen before.
I've read this before and just received it again. It's worth repeating and I think thought provoking. Can you imagine if we all were trying to kill each other just to get into heaven? It's quite a contrast to the words of Christ .."There is no greater Love than this one that is willing to give up his life for another." Allah or Jesus? by Rick Mat
Apologetics also has the advantage of establishing a more rigorous and responsible approach to the theology. It's the means by which we believe not blindly and unquestioningly, but thoughtfully and critically, by reasoning through the evidence available to us, and arriving and sensible conclusions about what might fit in the gaps
The easiest way to becoming an athiest? Close your eyes and don't think....LOL..... I think it's harder not to see God than to see him. His fingerprints are all over the place. Is it a matter of "can not see God" or is it "will not see God?" Big Difference.
Amen Rightwinger...AMEN!! I think Foxy has tolerance and love kinda mixed up. The new tolerance is not only to tolerate what you don't believe in but to embrace it as well. Anything less than that is considered hate.
Because He wanted us to. Period hmmmmm.....sort of "his will" be done then huh?
to do Gods will and biding. YES!! I believe that as well. Obedience to the Father's Will. The chief end of man is to bring glory to God....boy how politically incorrect does that sound? Jesus said himself he came to do the father's will. On the cross....he said.....it is finished. He did
well I see evolution happening all around us, species die, new ones born, man getting faster, taller, stronger, smarter, but the beginning? I BELIEVE in a higher power, not some huge mistake. Are you saying...micro-evolution or macro? Big difference. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=ce
God.....and that's my final answer.
no sports? No aptitude tests? Oh well there's still the kill em and dice em up videos waiting when they get home!! My son drew a picture of the titanic with a bomb on board after the teacher asked the class to draw a picture using their imaginations as to how the titanic may have gone down. This picture almost got him suspended. He was in 6th grade. I laughed when the teacher called me. He had never once been in trouble for anything before and now was getting in trouble because h
Atheists can't seem to do that; they're so tied down by their connection to the practical, the physical and tangible, that they can't open themselves up to the intangible, the spiritual. Atheists can't, or won't, accept that there's so much more to life and the world than they themselves can perceive. <B
Well tax time is in full force. We are starting to get a bit punchy at the office per usual for this time of year. It's all uphill from here. With me as the only gal with four guys giving me grief and lots to do, I look for ways to enjoy the days. We have a good time even when stressed for the most part. The guys at work are a good bunch and I enjoy what I do.
There's actually no proof or evidence saying it's a *virgin* birth. Yes, there were three guys who wittnessed the birth, Where did three come from? You can't not choose
"My question would be, why didn't God start with a system like this to begin with? Why did they need to spend thousands of years sacrificing animals when God could just send Himself/His son down and get the job done in one fell swoop." From the get go the sacrifice was a covering for sin. The people were obligated to bring in a perfect offering as a substitute for themselves. These substitutes looked forward to the ultimate sacrifice which
Years ago well known author and speaker Josh McDowell set about to try and debunk Christianity. He figured he'd investigate the resurrection by examining the evidence and poke holes into what he believed to be a lie. He said "as much as I hated to, I had to admit that if I had been some first century propagandist trying to fake the resurrection of Jesus
mean the mason's were the best. They loved to worship the sun. After all, you can see the sun. When I left the Christian church, and sent all my prayers to the sun. They got answered all at about the same rate. We all bow down to the Sun. The source of energy for our planet. Are you for real o
The God that I believe in ain't short of cash." - Bono. (I agree with that!) good one. I can't outgive God. The more I give to him the more I receive back. It's amazing. When I was younger I believed in the closed fist principle. Then I realized there is no pocket in a burial shroud. We c
no...... not really assuming. You've already made it clear you don't believe in Noah or the flood. I was just commenting on what you wrote here: quote] Two comments I'd like to make here. While I find the concept of a global flood unlikely (remember, that to writers in these times "the whole world" usually meant the whole world to their rather limited knowledge), I would have to state that it was probably an especially memorable an atypical flood in size, to say the least. BR
I think of Pilate as he looked at Jesus and asked..."What is truth?" The Truth was standing right in front of him and he didn't recognize it. Jesus had said earlier that he was the "way, truth and life." So it really comes down to....do we recognize it? I for one do believe in absoulte truth. Truth is the same yesterday, today or tomorrow. It's the same for every person, place or thing. It doesn't ever change. 1+1 w
There were a lot of dead animals though. Think you are mistaken about that. I read about a LOT of drowned animals Well I remember using nightly (secular)reports in my lesson plan as I was teaching
