Animals have not chosen sin, rather they, like the ground, were cursed because of man's sin. Animals are also God's creation...certainly not guilty of sin, but in sin as a result of man. God needs no legal basis to reconcile them to himself.

To evangelize = work

I have my doubts that animals will be our animals will be in heaven. Few things on this: Animals weren't made in the image of God, so something at their core is substantially different from human beings. God did not breathe life into animals in the same way as He did humans. That is, humans are imb...

Re: Do animals go to heaven?

What is the basic difference between the non-physical make-up of men and animals? I don't know that the animal kingdom actually did anything wrong, but were cursed because of man or possibly were created as "animals." Will my dog(s) that I love(d) be in heaven? I like to think so. Opinion...

. . It sounds to me that you have accepted Christ...and in so doing are counted among the saved!! I can understand the feeling that seeing that sinful person, you are so unworthy it's what keeps our faith strong because we don't rely on self but on God to do the work in us. This is the very same per...

Now, everything I stated are facts. Everything you, and every person I've ever heard, are saying about Bush are matters of perception . You disagree with the war, so you say he lied. No he didn't. He acted on bad intelligence, but you know what? I'd MUCH rather have it that way. Saddam Hussein is o...

No, Christians ought not vote for him. He has made it clear that he does not let his faith influence his political decisions. The last thing we need is a president who doesn't pray to know God's will. So apparently God's will is to deceive the American people into thinking that we went to war becau...

Bav: What if all Christians had that thought process and simply chose not to vote? I mean, if you don't want to vote, have at it. I don't mind--that's obviously your right. But, I think it's wrong to say that God will put in office who He wants to the extent that Christians have absolutely no choic...

Re: Best Bible Translation?

I read from the 1611 KJV. Is there a better English translation out there? Or, the only way we can truly read from inerrant scripture is to know Hebrew and Greek? That seems kind of intense for me. Isn't that what a lot of people believe - that only the original texts are free from errors? While it...
