Evidence for God from Science

Not to mention that as far as I understood "Hell" isn't even supposed to exist until Christ's return and the final judgement. :) Luke 16:19-30 says otherwise as does Like 12:4-5. Rev20:11-15 "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the hea...

Heh... right... Drilling holes to Hell? I don't believe that for a second.

I've been feeling exactly the same way. I think it's quite common to feel like that sometimes. I was talking to a friend about it and she completely understood too. :) And yeah, that's what I realised too. Live for God. It doesn't matter if you're not good at something. You are unique and God will u...

I don't know if "happy" is the right word. Happiness is a transient emotion. I think what a Christian has is security.. in knowing that they are loved, and that they are not alone, and that they look forward to an eternity more wonderful than any words can express. Security and hope. I thi...

Hi again. Just wanted to say I had a long chat with a friend last night about this and we uncovered the root of the problem.. which I think was that I have very little trust in my own feelings and my ability to be absolutely honest with myself. But, I think now I can be sure that on all those occasi...

*ponders* What do you guys make of this passage? 21Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? 22What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—pr...

I don't know much about this, but I would say that without predestination the term "elect" is totally out of place. It has no meaning unless God actually elects people. i.e. -chooses- certain people to be saved. Or does it? Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way.. Romans 9:18 says: "Th...

Thanks to all who replied. I'm glad it's not just me who feels this way. bizzt, thanks for the book recommendations. I'll see if I can find them in the library. Mystical - Actually, I've reached out for salvation and committed my life to Christ so many times. :( I know once ought to be enough, but I...

Hi. I don't know if I'll get any response here but it's worth a try... I haven't been a Christian very long. I'm a total beginner because I didn't come into contact with Christianity growing up. I find it difficult to keep my faith afloat. All the other Christians I know talk about God being so &quo...

Hmm. *ponders* Well, I wasn't going to reply to this thread again but I feel this is kind of important. ^_^; Just to clarify - I'm not trying to have a go at you. So I apologise if that's the way it comes across. I am just concerned, and hope that I can offer a different angle on this and that you m...

I actually checked out the Christian womens website and said it was NOT scripted except if you want to take editing as scripted. Well, not scripted in the sense of the whole thing following a script, no, but on the other side of the story, Amber maintains that the show was to a large extent enginee...

This show was HEAVILY edited. Cut and paste, cut and paste, cut and paste... it was engineered for maximum effect. The idea of reality TV is not to portray reality, but rather to appeal to viewers. They wanted to make a good show at the expense of honesty. Half of the things that the wives said and ...

I saw a torrent file of the episode this afternoon. It was definitely interesting. I wouldn't say Amber came across in a particularly negative light to me. She seemed like a very caring person, especially in the way she treated Taylor. Her anti-faith rules were a bit odd and unnecessary but no more ...

'Ello. I'm 20. Nearly 21 (eeeek!!)

My favourite Christian bands and artists are Switchfoot, Superhero and Casting Crowns. In general I prefer to listen to the more subtle messages rather than the full-on praise songs. It really depends on my mood though. =) I like to listen to Christian music when I'm not directly 'worshipping'. I of...
