Evidence for God from Science

I am not a socialist, but I have big issues with unrestrained capitalism. I am not anti-American and it surprises me that people take criticism of capitalism as an attack on America. I have severe problems with capitalism in the UK where I live and the way the church here has fully embraced affluenc...

A load of quotes mean little....how many do you want that state the opposite of yours? Who is "Clarke"? Anyhow, none of those were the basis for the war, although there were some auxillary reasons such as his support for terror groups, his stated intent and programs to develop weapons he ...

Yes, absolutely. On what basis? Could it have been the because of the WMDs? The United States is taking steps to determine how it received erroneous intelligence that deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was developing and stockpiling nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, White House spokesman S...

Was the American led invasion of Iraq right?

Jac. You are doing a great job of confirming what I thought about American Conservative Christianity. Despite the fact that I have never once defended socialism, we have gone past that now and we come down to a simple question based upon scripture. I am starting another post on the War in Iraq - you...

PL, do you get the impression that our socialist-friendly idealists are arguing primarily from an anti-American motivation? Down with America! Raaarrrr! :roll: Sorry, guys . . . I believe America is a better country, even with our problems, than anywhere else. Call me a nationalist. Call be elitest...

IMO, the last two posts are much more balanced. I don't think Christians should embrace either Socialism or Capitalism, but should be looking for an alternative that is consistent with Christ's teachings. Capitalism is defined in Wikipedia as follows: Characteristics of capitalist economies A set of...

Puritan Lad - Where in the Bible is their a limit placed on wealth? Please explain why it Biblical for a Christian to accumulate wealth whilst surrounded by needy people. Whilst children in Africa die because of the need for 'Oral Rehydration Treatment' that costs about 20 cents? Perhaps you should...

can someone please explain to me how this "flood" happened? rain or something like that... I am sorry and I do not want to offend any people who completely believe in the Bible but as far as I know, there is not enough water molecules to make that much water. There are a number of differe...

I'll start by once again stating that I don't support the state distribution of wealth. I do however support government involvement in economic issues to protect the disadvantaged and mitigate against the worst excesses of Capitalism. More on the Year of Jubilee The aim of the jubilee, therefore, is...

It's funny but I grew up thinking Calvin was a good 'un.

The same with Martin Luther who was also guilty of reprehensible actions.

Where do I start. You may want to try to understand what I am trying to say in its entirety, instead of running from point to point. You have obviously misunderstood what I am saying if you think I am defending the Ideology of Socialism. Even though what you seem to be attacking has more in common w...

IRQ - Excellent.

Glass darkly - LOL, but how true.

when people have past life experiences where they see things that could not otherwise be known, what is that? do you believe in past lives/reincarnation? Hebrews 9:27 says: "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" It doesn't get any clearer. Thus memory ...

The 'Year of Jubilee' was about redistribution of wealth. No it wasn't. It was about the forgiveness of debt and the return of private property to the original owners. "You shall return every man unto HIS possessions" - Because land was one of the most important aspects of wealth, the Jub...
