There is some interesting information about this topic here: http://www.religioustolerance.org/prayer.htm Note, however, that the above is a multi-faith website. I find that sometimes helpful because the writing is more objective, not pushing one group's doctrine or theology over another. Once4all

Re: should Christian participate in war (defense or offense)

Jesus never said anything about war. Is that so? Mat 24:6 "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. O That's not speaking against it though. That's just saying that wars will come, but those ...

Re: should Christian participate in war (defense or offense)

As for, should christians participate in war, not against another christian nation, after all we are all citizens of heaven. Except that Christians are not all located in "Christian nations." When you go to war with another country, that "enemy" you just shot could just as well ...

How about the broken soda machine that spits out free soft drinks at the push of a button (without putting in money)?

How is that different from a computer glitch that sells airline tickets for $1.86?

Both are wrong to take advantage of, IMO, and would reflect a dishonest spirit.

Well, for awhile there reading this thread I thought I was going to be the oldest one here, but two of you who responded are older. I'm 47. It's great to see so many young Christians participating in forums like this. Read God's word, talk about it, grow. Don't ever stop! I've only been here 10 days...

To address both you and K, it doesn't seem to me that the seventh day being open or closed has any bearing on the length of the previous six days, so maybe this part of the discussion is futile, at least as far as the topic of YE/OE is concerned. Aren't YOU telling us what YOU think God wants us to ...

yes, but you're missing one thing: The 7th day was never closed. All the other days ended with "evening and morning". The seventh didn't. Why? No, I'm not missing that; I'm just not giving it the great deal of significance that you are. It's really quite simple, unless of course one needs...

God uses day in the non-literal sense all the time in His Word, why would this be different? Exo 20:8 "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Exo 20:9 "Six days you shall labor and do all your work, Exo 20:10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not d...

Re: A thousand years is like a day

Yeah, that's basically what I was saying. I'm an Old-Earth Creationist...and it seems that taking the 1000 years to 1 day thing literally would be of more benefit to young earth creationists. :D Well, I certainly don't see how it benefits a young earth creation. From your view as an old earth creat...
