Re: The Earth is 6000 years old?

OEC's lack biblical authority? Tell me what kind of people do have biblical authority. I see no verse in the bible stating the age of the earth. The 6-10k years old assumption was made by man. If we look into the Hebrew language, we find out that Hebrew has much less variation than English. Even if ...

Why did Jesus call himself the Son of Man?

I was reading Matthew yesterday, and I kept thinking about why Jesus called himself the son of man. I mean, Jesus was the Son of God right? Jesus was the only human who has ever walked the earth to be sinless, and sin is a human's very nature. If I were to guess it would be that when Jesus said &quo...

Re: The Earth is 6000 years old?

I am currently undecided on my creation stance. On the one hand, I can see why some would interpret the bible as Y.E.C. On the other hand though, we don't know the true intent of the author of Genesis. However, none of these are essential doctrines for salvation. If salvation could come through the ...

Dawkins says the stupidest thing ever

http://www.examiner.com/article/wwjd-dawkins-claims-jesus-would-have-been-an-atheist Let me clear some things up. 1. Jesus would have NEVER promoted the actions of these " new atheists" today. 2. How dare he associate Jesus with the likes of him? Jesus DIED for you just so you can call all...

Re: URGENT!! My Growing anxiety and depression

Today I have talked to my parents about my isolation, and I told them that if these feelings come up again, they need to take me to get help even if it means they have to drag me there.

Regarding Rankings

When I look at "senior member" or "board moderator " on somebody's profile I ask, what do these categories mean?

Re: The Earth is 6000 years old?

I'm not trying to say is that YECs are the problem here. What I'm saying is that the literal interpretation had raised a lot of questions (even in myself) regarding the scientific and historic accuracies of the bible. Also, I can't stand it when people say that in order to be a Christian, you must ...

The Earth is 6000 years old?

YECs have hurt many people's views of christianity, and many people have detracted from it. What do y'all have to say?

Re: URGENT!! My Growing anxiety and depression

1over137 and I have discussed it. I am calm now. If I ever feel like this again I listen to music I like or watch a movie.

URGENT!! My Growing anxiety and depression

I have never felt like this before. Before I discuss my problems, I think I need to detail the road to my insecurities. I was born in 1998 in Chicago, Illinois. At this time my parents were married for 4 years. I was raised in a non-denominational Christian household, however, I became an atheist at...

Re: My Problem With Militant Atheism

Quite right. The position of the new atheism isn't an intellectual one. Prov. 26:4. It's not that we can't respond to them. It's that their position is so intellectually vapid and so morally backwards that it ranks up there with eugenics, flat earth theories, 9/11 truthers. With that said, I cannot...

My Problem With Militant Atheism

It seems that atheism isn't what it used to be. Instead of just a position held by people where they don't believe in a god, atheism is now calling religious people "delusional, homophobic, and idiotic," along with the mission to eradicate religion and to persecute and chastise anyone with...

What ever happened to Imperial?

Imperial is a member who stopped posting around late 2010. His last post went something like " that's a nice analysis there Vick." I have been wondering what happened to him. The reason I'm asking is because I have hated to see him fall into the trap that is militant atheism. He has been r...
