Evidence for God from Science

Anyway that is not why I wrote this post. I am actually trying to point out that it is rather amusing that in the Middle East they view democracy as important but believe it must be combined with religious principles and control. In the West we have a Christian based society but want to have sepera...

I was observing a post a while back regarding someone saying all these verses they had read which they thought were horrible. On the night I read this post (I think it was called Iused2bchristian or something) I thought that I would try and read what he was referring to and other things as well to ...

I'm pretty sure that we are all communicating from the comfort of a first world country with a wealth of state funded, enlightened education behind us and the benefits of a free press and judiciary. Our forefathers fought for all these privilages and I cherish them. Many Islamic societies do not ha...

Michelle, You are downright scary. Am I understanding this correctly? Are you supporting the forced sterilization of those whom you deem as unworthy for life, simply because they are "intellectually disabled"? Who is going to make the final decision regarding this? You? The State? So much...

Also it must be remebered that democracy is not infallible and is not always the best political system available for all societies. We have only had a few hundred years to test how well it does work. Other political systems have been around for hundreds or even thousands of years. I wonder how we w...

If you are looking at Middle Eastern countries where the dominant religion is Islam, then except for Turkey (which is a different case entirely) government by democratic principles is really not possible. Islam dictates rule by theocracy - from Allah downwards to the people. The various forms of de...

I came across something two nights ago that I found very interesting regarding Christianity and politics. I am currently reading a book called Democratization in the Middle East. It mentions some very interesting facts regarding politics in the West. It states: In the liberal tradition, traditional ...

Please could someone pray for a young fifteen year old girl who has suffered severe third degree burns to eighty percent of her body in a tent fire. Her tent caught fire after a gas bottle leak. She saved her other siblings lives but was burnt horribly in the process. Her family were on holiday to t...

It not even so simple of when its considered to be a baby. Some believe its the moment sperm and egg get together. Science would probably tell you its just two specialized cells at this point. The Bible disagrees. (See Genesis 16:11; Psalm 139:13-16; and many others). Especially note Exodus 21:22-2...

Thanks for your comments. I am saddened that you saw so many atrocities. It makes me angry that as humans we do this to each other. It does though demonstrate that the only true leader that can possibly ever bring a world of peace is to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. How sad that our world h...

Sincere thankyou everyone. I will keep you posted. Her lawyer is a very dear Christian friend of my mums so I think God is trying hard to reach out to her. Also there is another person in similar circumstances. A father is currently on trial for the murder of his three sons. Both people live in the ...

A great many parents put their hearts and souls in parenting, doing the very best that they can given their resources and circumstances. And when children mess up, the finger of blame is forever pointed back at the parents, often quite unfairly so. I think it is worthwhile to remember that there ar...

I wish you all the very best. I would have loved to be able to learn Greek and Hebrew. I have a Greek dictionary but I am afraid it doesnt help much. I want to learn Russian and Sumerian as well. Maybe I am being a little ambitious here!

Sounds like a really great course so good luck with it.
