"Do you want to offer some proof here? How do you know the Bible was not divinely inpsired? Did you speak to the men who wrote it? How do you know their motivation and intent?" Well ... it was never proven to me that it IS divinely inspired. And it resembles other myths and legends that h...

Hi Kurieuo, I believe the mind is a very important thing to keep sharp, and it is good to read books on the Christian experience ... it is good to read books on many things. But sometimes in reading books on spiritual experiences, we see what others have experienced and in what way they have experie...

"I was at a point not to long ago that I was having faith problems, and I prayed to God several times and stronger faith came to me, I don't worry as much anymore, however I still feel that these could be phsycological things and not from God and that my prayers really do go unanswered." ...

Hi Jesus Freak, You said "I mean I know there has to be a God, but is it the God of the Bible? Can we say that we can seperate God and the Bible?" I love the bible, but it is very culturally biased, and God is culturally interpreted therein. So I do believe somewhat that "God" ca...

Or more correctly I should say "As a former double helix of DNA, I am opposed to abortion." Am I right?

C'mon all you scientists out there, help a layperson out! :)

Hi guys, you have read the bible. There are many verses that speak on drunkeness and wine. Even without reading the bible, we know drunkeness isn't a good thing. It is not the drinking of alcohol that is the problem. It's when the alcohol starts to separate your head from your spirit. When you are e...

Just my two cents on the subject. I have never felt abortion was right. Wasn't quite sure why. And plus, I was a Christian, and fell into agreement with the Christian stance on this issue. But when I really got solidified in my belief that abortion is just wrong was after I read the first chapter of...

"So I will go back to one of my other points. Why? Why would God create something that needed to be fixed, updated, helped along for billions of years? Why would He go to the trouble of doing what He could do so much more easily? Then, why would he tell us that He created it all in 6 days? (Do...

Hermitville, I agree with colors. God's purpose is ultimately to express his Love through his creating power. Through his creation. I guess I consider myself a Christian, but I don't have traditional "Christian" beliefs. I did for a very long time. Then I started to explore the beliefs tha...

"However, I'd like to reassure you, take it however you may, that Christianity does infact stand on very solid rational foundations, and it is alright to have doubts, but just be sure you seek answers to them. The Internet is a great resource." Yes, Kurieuo, it is. I have been doing much ...

Hi, I'm new to this board. I had a "born again" experience at age 17 that, I have come to believe, was totally manufactured in my head. I "asked God in to my life." It was beautiful and it met my need at the time. I think all it was, was that in my heart, I basically made a decis...
