Evidence for God from Science

With all that said, MacArthur is the really dangerous one. I do not respect his ministry. He is hardly a scholar, and he is very wrong on a wide variety of issues. He is not a particularly clear thinker and is little more than a theological bully. I know it isn't fun to have your beliefs smeared by...

This is something that grieves me almost to the point of making me ill! Christians need to recognize and reject false teaching when it strikes at or compromises core teachings of Scripture, but we have a greater commission that inward-looking doctrinal purity. Let me state several things up front, p...

D97 ... Cecil Rhodes?

Concur with B.W. and Meta. Ask your friend what he means, to explain what he means by "all made up". The conversation may not go very far - he may just by like a squid squirting ink, with no substance behind the ink, but starting generally will help you see whether there's any path for pur...

Fl & Daniel, most of that is a joke that was current in the 1970s. I can only claim "Kamikaze Bible Study Method" to be original, and I thought of that back in the 70s. Anyway, feel free. It hits at one of my two of my peeves, using the Bible almost like a form of divination to find Go...

Do you know there are lots of discrepancies in the Holy Bible? I understand you’re raising your eyebrows Isn’t it. You just go ahead of reading this and finally come to a conclusion ok. Don’t think there are lots of contradictions and discrepancies only in Old Testament, the New Testament also have...

I posted this story on the news/politics discussion site I frequent. Besides showing a direction public education is heading in some states (with educrats in others wanting to go here), it encapsulates and illustrates one response to some comments to which I've not yet responded (to be honest, becau...

In case anyone is curious, because the "Christian cocoon" idea is as applicable - I don't say the idea is correct - to campus-based Christian private schools as to Christian homeschoolers and because Christian homeschoolers are a form of Christian private education (in CA many/most homesch...

This sums up this character for me:

Sweet and tasty, maybe, but still a fruitcake.

Not only did Americans score poorly compared to many international competitors, the findings reinforced just how large the gap is between the nation’s high- and low-skilled workers and how hard it is to move ahead when your parents haven’t. It is easier to enslave a dumb down populace than an Educa...

Mary's too proud to say. Must be a fortunate one. Maybe if you ask Willie or some poor boy down on the corner in Lodi they'll know ... after the rain gets stooped ...

"If you know what I mean."

Makes you wonder where the powers that be desire to take us? Hopefully they want to take us to Australia. I've always wanted to go there ever since I learned in public school, about the fascinating animals native to Australia. Like lions, cheetahs, African elephants, polar bears, bison, timberwolve...

I have a file that includes many quotes - from other sources and original - that I've used in signatures in discussion forums. Among them: Who will speak up for the little ones? Helpless and half-abandoned They've got the right to choose life they don't want to lose I've got to speak up, won't you? ...

Yup! :) And I was homeschooled, too--six of my twelve years, anyway. The other miserable six were spent in the child-abusing government run "educational" system. I'm a bit older than you, and and there were any of what we would now call homeschoolers around, they were few and pretty much ...

I agree Philip. Kids need to interact in the real world. Unless of course parents are homeschooling to prepare their children for working from home. Seriously? My son has worked outside of the home since he was age 16 and, as I mentioned above, was an assistant manager at his work at or before age ...
