Thanks for the responses to this one. I probably have to say that the Craig debates have been the most helpful. Thanks for taking the time to respond. It seems that the argument about a loving God not being able to create people that will end up in Hell rests upon a few assumptions and is primarily ...

The 'Year of Jubilee' was about redistribution of wealth. This law is ascribed to the legislation on Mount Sinai (Leviticus. 25:1). It was to come into force after the Israelites should be in possession of Canaan, Israel. "When you come into the land which I give you" (ib.). The law provid...

Puritan lad, Was there any point to posting this under 'Aberrant Christianity'? It's interesting, but what happens in some Muslim village somewhere by people who are obviously ignorant is pretty meagre pickings. Muslims could point to endless examples of Christian stupidity across the globe. We also...

Re: a question about noah and the flood

What about Noah and his family being the only ones left alive after the flood. Noah, his 3 boys, noah's eife and the wives of his kids. There are not enough people to procreate and create all the nations of the earth. Besides, there would have been numerous instances of incest required to repopulat...

It is my opinion that the Catholic Church as an institution is a great evil. It is my opinion that individual Catholics are saved as any Christian from any denomination is assuming they have called on Jesus' name: "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." This is how peop...

Virtually all modern day churches are liberal. By that I mean they take a liberal view on things the Early Church did not. Like the command to 'sell everything you have and give to the poor'. The Church has, in large part, sold out to this capitalist, consumer culture and has become weakened in its ...

kateliz, I really admire your stand on make-up and hair dye. This society is about little more than image these days and people need to make a stand. I love it when I see real Christians taking God at his word when He says He looks on the inside. I never wear clothes with labels of any kind - don't ...

A few reasons I voted yes... Global Warming Many scientists now believe that Global Warming is reaching the tipping point - the point of non-return. This will have an incredible impact on the earth. Apart from 'rapid weathering' and permafrost appearing in the Northern Hemisphere (mini ice ages), th...

Things will get worse, much worse. Christians will be not just thought of as intolerant, un-PC and old fashioned. They will be thought of as downright dangerous and seen to be standing in the way of societal progress. We will be despised. If we think we cannot return to things like the persecution o...

I've posted elsewhere about an experiment that was done with two Christians claiming to have the gift of interpreting tongues. A passage was read out and recorded in Greek and played back to the Christians. They both gave different interpretations, neither of which had anything to do with the real m...

Kurieuo, Hey, no need to tell me off. I'm certainly not lazy and have spent time reading about the issues surrounding this subject.

Blacknad, thanks for your last response. I don't have time right now to respond fully, but I want to make one quick point. The atheist cannot pick and choose which part of the Chistian worldview to "borrow", because that is precisely the point. If he picks one part of the worldview to jus...
