Re: Survey says that Christians are happier?

while money can't "buy" happiness, money has great potential to make you happy. would you be happy if i gave you 10 billion dollars? yes you would, because you would not have to work another day in your life, and you would be able to buy anything you want. but of course you could still bec...

old earth?

So what exactly is the old earth creationist timeline? Are the "days" interpreted as millions of years? And was there death before the fall of man?

Re: women to be silent in church?

No, we understand this because we understand the historical context of the scripture in question as well as the translation of the scripture. The link examines this well...

Re: number of the beast?

The Bible is the source of the so-called "number of the beast". So how in the world can the Bible say 666 and the "actual" number be 616? That is like saying "do Romeo and Juliet die at the end of Shakespeare's tradgedy "Romeo and Juliet"? The script says they do,...
