So what are you saying here Roy? Are you saying that since the Bible has been re-translated by humans so many times that it is invalid now? Also what is God's truth? Please explain... I'm saying that it has been retranslated many times. And that the individual translators have written it with their...

Then prove me wrong, Roy. So far I'm reading a lot of humanistic secularism with a side of new age thought. You make it very easy for me to "misunderstand" you. Maybe non-Christian is more appropriate. You obviously believe in something. I, as a personal rule, do not subscribe to any 'off...

I'd rather attempt to open up at least one person's eyes I'd like to comment on the above statement too. Look no further than what you've stated above Roy to see why some people might find you a bit condescending. When I read that I thought how dare he say something like that? Who does he think he ...

I'm not putting words in your mouth, Roy. I'm taking your words and comparing them to the bible, the word of God, a Christian's final standard and they contradict them. Really? You are obviously not a believer in the one true God who makes Himself known through His holy pages, so I am not surprised...

We are only the standard truth only for ourselves. How so? To get this out of the Way do you believe in Absolute truth? From my or your perspective, no. From god's perspective, yes. As a human, we are limited in our awareness of everything around us. Because of this, we will never know the pure tru...

So let me get this straight you are saying that the Bible is no longer the Standard of Truth but WE become the standard of Truth based upon what the Bible Says. We are only the standard truth only for ourselves. What was written in the bible was said with certain intentions. But those intentions ar...

You have, indeed, but make sure you do one thing though, open up your eyes!
Thank you, I try to. I only ask that any criticism be constructive. No one will listen to advice if you are condescending about it.

It is true that people can get different messages and ideals when reading the bible, some even diametrically opposed to it's message...such as your view on killing babies of rape victims. However most of what is written in it are not suggestions up for the vote of the individual. You are obviously ...

However we as Christians do not conform to an ideal we conform to the living word of God. I don't care if i get banned from this site, I'd rather attempt to open up at least one person's eyes. In no way is the bible the absolute word of god. It can be the individual interpretation of the word of go...

If that is the case we should set off a nuke and blow the whole world up since we are told in the bible that we are all conceived in sin. Then why is it a good thing we send certain people to jail? If we are all sinners, shouldn't we all go to jail, then? Or do you disagree with the judicial system...

Re: Is It Just Me??

Can someone enlighten me as to why some atheists think appealing to majority opinion a way of determining truth? I never thought I'd see the day...but I have... Seems to me that this is the way of any conniving provocateur with a plan. Its just human nature. I see atheists do it, I see democrats an...

Why are these particular christians so pompous as to think they know absolute morality? Why are they so pedantic as to think that they have the right to control other people's lives? It is completely against christian morality and values. A christian should try to persuade, not force. A christian s...

Do you purposely put 'Darwinian' in front of it to make sure that you are right? Of course darwinian evolution is theory. But evolution itself must be true. It is witnessed in literally every form of change everywhere you look, not just life forms. Explain please. Evolution must be true, you have n...

Re: Abortion: Ayn Rand Institute

Ayn Rand Institute calls this the philosophy on life :? Objectivism is a highly depressing philosophy. It glorifies selfishness and seeks to elevate it to a virtue. It's hardly surprising that they would endorse sacrificing human life on the altar of convenience. This is simply not true. Objectivis...
