Ok, so it's time to take down the Christmas tree. The funny thing is it takes so long to put up, and I can have this baby down and out the door in less than a half hour. Isn't that how it is? It's pretty easy to put the bulbs and ornaments away in their rightful places, but what do I do with the gifts under the tree that just don't seem to have a place?

in Jesus’ words: "The Kingdom of God does not come visibly. No one will say 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!'; because the Kingdom of God is within you.” - Luke 17.21 I'm wondering if you're thinking what I'm thinking on this verse. Do you know when he says here in our version "within you" is better translated "among you?" Rememb

hmmmmm I always thought the Jews were the most persecuted people ever. Even more than the blacks. Yet, I've never seen or heard of a Miss Jewish America either. How about the Indians? Maybe we could have a Miss America Indian or would that be Miss Native America?.....think of the possiblilities here.

The Jews of course came thru the line of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and were circumcized. That was a covenant God gave to the Jews starting with Abraham in Genesis....not the Gentiles. It set them apart. The Gentiles came from outside that line (non Jews) and were uncircumcized. The new covenant speaks of circumcision of the heart. It's a new and better way. Now can you answer where did God give the Sabbath to the Gentiles?

Here is my thought about Jesus' sacrifice. The sacrifice for sins still exists just we now have the perfect and infinite Sacrifice (as singrdave uses) so we now have redemption of sin. We still need the law in order to recognize what a sin is. For the definition by Paul for sin is a transgression of the law. Another reason for ha

While science focuses primarily on the level of physicality, Christianity focuses on the ‘deeper’ level of spirituality, which eludes scientific weighing or measuring. I think that the Creationists and ID-adherents should refrain from trying to “prove” the Infinite via finite methods like materialistic science. They won't get any

Acts 18:4 'He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.' Well that makes sense.....where's the best place to reach a group of people assembled together? On a Saturday cuz they would be at Temple worshipping God. What was he reasoning and persuading? Don't worry

But Christianity is the only religion which claims that Jesus is divine. In this sense, the religion we choose to follow will determine our thoughts about Jesus. In turn, I believe that the religion we choose to follow primarily depends on where we were born. It's still the same principle, in my view. R

Andy, All I'm saying is in God's eyes or in the big scope of things....we are just worms or maggots...whichever. We like to think ourselves as big and mighty but in reality we are created beings with no special powers. We cannot save ourselves. Jesus came down to be a lowly man and show us the way. That's all. So you're right in the sense that we are not literally worms like in the ones in the back yard we dig up. But

Schools should not teach random nonsense or religion. That's your opinion and you're welcome to it. I happen to believe scripture is not fantasy nor nonsense. Pretty strange comment coming from someone who believes in God I must say. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF3

I think a teacher who makes such points, on EITHER side doesn't deserve their jobs and should be fired without hesitation. The time they spend promoting their own BELIEFS is time they are neglecting their jobs. I agree here. I say either teach both sides or no sides. Equal time or no time. The prob

I could look up the word “maggot” in a dictionary, (just as the Creationist would look up the Hebrew for “day” and conclude that it means a literal 24-hour solar-day - even though, incidentally, the sun wasn't created until the fourth day according to a literal interpretation, which in itself is somewhat suspect). Just as the original Hebrew for “day” does not mean a billi

We're all messengers, in one form or another, speaking our own truths from our own points of view. These points of view can be quite different, however, because we're all looking at the world from the subjective realm of our own consciousness That's just it Andy...I'm trying to tell you.

As for the Sunday worship. If you look into the Catholic records Sunday worship didn't come to be till after 338A.D. That's more than 300 years after the death. Which oddly predates all of your historical evidence. The early Christians were worshipping on the first day of the week starting with the Resurrection Morning. So this would be around 33

A non-literal interpretation of Genesis chapter 1 doesn’t detract from the deeper meaning of the chapter at all, in my view. The whole bible is basically the first 11 chapters repeated. How you treat the first 11 chapters is vital in understanding the rest of the 1178 chapters of the bible. If you acc
