Hello Forum Monk, I'm sorry for my late reply (VERY late in fact), I had lots of things to do, problems to solve, etc... There are some translations of the bible that may be easier for you to understand, such as the Living Bible or the New Living translation. Or you may consider a children's bible. ...

Bart, I just got off the phone with my Dad on this... He use to teach there in Turkey and is pretty familiar with the culture.. He told me that for the most part Turkey is a democratic secular society (with separation of church and state) however, there are pockets of these extremist Islamic groups...

I am against the legalization of marijuana, and I'm going to write them below: 1- There is no medical advantages of doing so. 2- Its one more drug avaiable to society. We dont need that, we already got alcohol and cigars. 3- Some people, especially young people without much in their heads and no dir...

I cant write about the rest because my knowledge of science does not permit it. Please understand, I'm not a fan of Craig. I'm just discussing a new way of looking at Genesis. I think that many verses in Genesis are allegorical, even though they portray some truth. Adam and Eve eating the apple is ...

Thanks, I will look for this book. But are Winn's ideas wrong? Are there scientific mistakes on it? Or do you think his interpretation is wrong? Please understand, this is only my opinion and you are free to accept it or reject it. I think if you are truly seeking the truth it is better to 1. Pray ...

For they who would like to look deeper into these ideas, I suggest going to the horse's mouth. The scientific ideas presented are essentially copied from the work of Dr. Gerald Schroeder. Dr. Schroeder has authored several books including "The Science of God". In my opinion, it is better ...

Before rushing to embrace these ideas, how about a little research on the author (which by the way appears to be hidden but can be discovered) and look at his other writings. Check his stand on catholism and religion in general, and check his personal credentials. Yeah, I skimmed through a few sect...

Hello johnnyboy08, I'm very happy to know that you are starting to know Christianity. I'm not exactly a Christian ( well, depends on what you consider to be Christian), but I have a relationship with the same God. Therefore if you have doubts about Christianity, I'm not exactly the right person to a...

God in the Old Covenant

Why is God violent in the Old Covenant? If he is a God of love why did he kill some many people?
