The original Hebrew says "A son of God." Just one example of how the scriptures were edited to say what some people wanted them to say. What scripture are you quoting? I use the Hebrew. <TD class

The disciples also questioned Jesus' parables, Marcie. They had to have them explained as well. Yes. They didn't quite get it either. It says that afterwards it all made sense. They were not given the HS until afterwards. That's what's needed for understanding. You see a big difference in them before and after Pentecost. When h
Thanks for the update....enjoyed it. The best part is you had fun with it and it sounds like you made some friends in the process. Laughter is good medicine. Sounds like you got a good dose. Agree with LW....have fun and stick to what you enjoy. Nice to venture out tho once in a while and try new things. You just never know.......
hmmmm who said...."The love of money is evil?" Wouldn't this come under the love of money? since money corrupts.......I guess we could look at this as an opportunity......not to get corrupted. I can't even kill the ladybugs that infest my house. I just suck them up with my vac. Can't imagine pulling wings off a butterfly.
You disregarded the scientific eveidence of chromosomal DNA and skipped on over to "from a christian standpoint". Well that's because I know nothing about this. I'm not disregarding anything. How can I respond? You also do the same. The ark sightings are not "biblical" but real accounts and you did
The bible is both literal and symbolic. You have to read it in context. I basically use the principle that "if it makes sense, seek no other sense." An example would be.... Jesus said "I am the door." He also said "I am the bread of life." Now I don't take that literally. He's saying there's no getting around him to get into heaven. Many want the kingdom but not the King. He's not a literal door. He's also the source o
If the entire earth flooded at once, where did the water come from, and where did it go to after the flood? We have experienced floods during our lives, and none of them have ever come close to flooding a large part of the world. First we were promised that the world would never be destroyed again by f
Yeah...that's a tough one. I mean, if that story were true, we (the human race) would all share some of the same genes. If you don't believe in evolution, the story even gets less likely. How did we end up with all the different races and genetics if we all came from the same family (noah and his family)?
going for a jog or a walk is a great way to let go of things and bring sanity back to you. I don't know how many times I've left the house just steaming and came back in much better form both physically and emotionally. It's a great stress release. Of course I'm a High School X-country coach who has been running for many years so I'm a bit biased especially when it comes to running. A thought tho......you don't know what a sponge is made
don't have a bible in front of me but a couple of things that come to mind are The age of Earth, The story of Noah, the miracles Jesus performed including resurrection, matter of fact, the only thing that can be proven about Jesus is that he existed and he died. First of all the age of the earth cannot be proven by either side. We both know that
I don't believe that the pope is anything but a political tool. This is what we agree on....follow the money trail.

I agree with Ziggy. Faith comes into play all during our daily lives. It's just a matter of what you are willing to put your faith in. When I sit in a chair. I have faith it's going to hold. When I open a can of corn. I have faith there is going to be corn in that can. Why? Because the past evidence has told me so. When I previously sat in chairs, I did not fall over and the previous cans of corn....yeilded.....corn. In much
I agree with you. I don't believe in replacement theology either and I also agree with what you said about Jesus adding to what is already. I believe God has a great plan for the Jews and it seems to be unfolding every night on the news. Have a question for you. Why don't you spell out God's name but you do Jesus? I'm sure you believe Jesus is God right? Just curious.
Karma (sorry about the "h") What makes you think that I have not read "the book"? It's a very typical "Christian" reaction to assume that if somebody doesn't agree then they must know nothing about the bible. This would be experience. So are you saying you have? Because you did not say that
Hi Andy, I tried to pull up your review but couldn't find the exact one. So I'm not sure how to respond, but I did read the book excerpt and have a few thoughts. First I do not believe one can become a Christian, have the HS indwell you and then walk away. I absoultely without a doubt cannot buy this. It would be like walking out of a bright room back into darkness and saying that was a better place to be. Makes no sense. I do not
I'd be interested in their reaction to your poem. Will you give us their review? Tomorrow right?
Seriously??? KFC.. can't believe you didn't think of this... Xerxes I could have said that.....if I wanted to.......
"i AIN'T RELIGIOUS! i JUST LOVE THE LORD" I LOVE THIS!!!! I have one that says..... If you believe there is no GOD....you better be right!!!
I never said the bible was written in Latin. The Latin came from Jerome in the 4th Century. He took the Greek and translated it into the language of the day. I said I had a debate with a friend and we went back from the English to the Greek and Latin for clarification. I believe it was a "God thing" those scriptures were found in 1948. They showed that God did preserve his own word and it's just another piece of evidence that many want to discount. The OT was written in Hebrew an
I personally believe that God doesn't give a hoot what we believe Ok Andy...a challange....look at John 3:15-18 underline the word believe. What does that tell you? G
Please take this as constructive criticism: When giving an opinion on intellect, saying "carried the brains" and "cuz" in the sentence doesn't lead to credibility. Thanks for the help...for me writing on the blogs is sort of like sitting around in big fuzzy slippers. All sense of style goes out the win
I'd love to help...but I'm with you....I'm no poet and was not a biggie fan of it either. My question....how do you get involved in a writing group? And I don't think all poetry is supposed to rhyme....but as far as I'm concerned....it helps.
It was translated from language to language to language. Who knows how much got changed in translation alone We still have the original manuscripts...I think about 500 still around, more than any other work of antiquity. The next one with not nearly as many original copies is Homer's Iliad. Yet no one ever questions that work. All we have to do
