Re: The evil within us

Yeah Rick, I was going to go with "Donner party of 28, you're table is ready" but I'm pretty sure they ate, as did I think the guys in your plane, people who had already died. I don't think killed by another person. Not apples to apples but still a frick-n-frackn sick decision to have to m...

Re: Questioning Deism

To be honest, I wish I really never made those statements. Not to worry K, after reading all your post here, I am justified in my original K's exemplary posting. What do they call it? Digging your grave. First with statements about YEC, then sharing a bit of my own journey in response and digging it...

Re: Sounded like Jesus returned around the 1st century?

Re: Did Science Kill God?

Katabole, Thanks so much for the video. How truly refreshing to gain perspective from someone who is not only preeminently qualified on the topic, but on so many topics so universally tied to it. Really learned quite a lot in a very short time. I came to this site a few years ago after typing in bro...

Re: Books ( or anything else) that changed our lives

Hey Stell, I think you're reading the NT, as I saw in another post, very wise. IMO establishing a comfort zone with the understanding of the NT, questioning readings that are unclear, absorbing all you can from the Word of God is so much more important than any auxiliary readings both to your intima...

Re: Books ( or anything else) that changed our lives

Well, I'm pretty new here and am unaware of anyone's practicing faith. It really is of no concern, as it to seems to me all faiths who hold to true Christian tenets are truly Christian.
