Sorry G. I thought it was pretty obvious. Even for me. You must not be as perceptive in your old age.

Gman wrote: It just doesn't work and is illogical to say that the Sabbaths or the other OT commandments only apply to the Israelis... It just doesn't work. We as Christians are also told to not to commit homosexuality, adultery, fornication, stealing and the likes 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 which is also...

In defense of Al Gore, I can understand why he did this. He didn't want to sell to Glenn Beck because Beck's religious and political beliefs are too different than his own. Beck is a narrow minded, conservative. Whereas Islam is a very open and tolerant religion. Islam wants all people to live toget...

Why would God need to do that Rick? I mean, why not create Eve just as Adam? I'm not sure what you're asking Paul. I didn't say God needed to do it that way. I'm just trying to see how Byblos understands the text here as an allegory. When God created all other mammals, he created them male and fema...

Byblos wrote: Think of it this way, it is quite possible (and that is only speculation on my part mind you) that the chosen Eve may very well have formerly been a physical blood relative, most likely an offspring of the former being that is now Adam. So here is this first human, Adam, suddenly awak...

God said it was good, not perfect.

I guess it depends on what one means by "perfect". Perfect, meaning without sin, no. Perfect, meaning ideal to bring about a desired effect, yes.

First, there is natural evil and moral evil. The former includes anything that brings suffering, unpleasantness, or difficulty into the lives of creatures. Earthquakes, floods, diseases, injuries, and death are examples of natural evil. Moral evil is the sin of rational creatures (angels and men). ...

What matters now is an authentic relationship with God that is of the heart, and where we are, rather than needing to keep the letter or wondering if we're sinning by doing something. In the latter, one may be...

Hey all, It's been awhile since I've posted on here, and this might could go under another topic, but since it's light hearted and the like, I'll ask here. My youngest son, who is 13, will be doing the "Polar Plunge" (where they jump in the frozen lake) for the 3rd year in a row. It's a f...
