HMG, there is a tremendous wealth of Christian apologia on this site and many other sites on the internet. There are very well presented arguments to support all aspects of the Christian faith, and to answer more than adequately the concerns of skeptics and aetheists. You have admitted problems with...

HMG, I have no intention of listening to that interview. Why do I need to? I know there are people who "deconvert" from Christianity, and I even know some of their reasons, many of which can be quite complex. I also know many of the answers, the real truth , to counter their lack of faith....

Silvertusk, I think that is a really cool idea... and very romantic!
Looks to me that your fiancee has made an excellent choice, and I hope you will both be very happy together with lots of good things coming your way in the future.
Lots of best wishes to you both. :)

Thanks j316. I just wandered on to this forum after doing a Google search for Christian apologia sites, and found I had struck gold here. There are a lot of folks here who are very generous in the way they are willing to share their knowledge and experiences, and I am a very appreciative of that. Yo...

Finally, I also want to make clear that I strictly believe that the Bible IS 100% self-consistent. I think you're wrong in your assertion to the contrary, and perhaps that is a major hurdle for you. If the Bible DOES appear to be inconsistent, then the failing is in our understanding, not in the Bi...

Whenever I read that kind of thing, I always find myself wondering... "Didn't they have anything better to do?" However, here's something more for the mix: Did you know...? ...that Psalms 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible? ...that Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible? ...th...

Thanks very much for your response, Christian2. There is a lot of food for thought there. Your first link turned out to be broken, but your clip of the relevant part of it sufficed. I Googled " kitman " and firstly came upon an Islamic site where someone in Britain was asking about the ter...

I believe Job is describing a behemoth. I believe his description of a behemoth could also be likened to that of a dinosaur, but I cannot say with any surety that it was his intention to describe a dinosaur... because I don't know; I'd be guessing. You could describe a small coffee table in such a w...

j316, what you have described as your experience mirrors almost exactly where I am at just now, although I am not sure yet if the Spirit is calling me to do anything or not. When you "got dunked" did that bother you at all about what it said (supposing it said anything) about your earlier ...

Thanks LS, your comments are helpful. It would be a simple matter to be baptized again... although it looks like I should not even say "again" despite staring at my Baptismal certificate which I have right in front of me. I'm just a little taken aback by this discovery. I guess it will tak...

You're right, Ocho... it doesn't sound one bit like a croc, not even a salty. :shock: I found this interesting definition of behemoth in the The Old Testament Hebrew Lexicon which says... Perhaps an extinct dinosaur a Diplodocus or Brachiosaurus, exact meaning unknown ++++ Some translate as elephant...

You've not seen an Aussie crocodile then! :D
The male Estuarine Crocodile can grow to about 7 metres in length... it's tail surely the size of a small tree.

But I've never seen a hippo with a tail like that... :?

I'm thinking that my original questions about infant baptism may best be asked on a Church of England forum instead, but if there are any others here who were baptised as babies, I would certainly appreciate your comments.

I am hoping that Christian2 will see my question here and be able to make a comment. Our newspaper this morning has reported Tony Blair (talking about terrorism and "this evil ideology") as saying: "It will not finally be resolved until it is dealt with in every community in which it ...

Michael, are you and your girlfriend Christians? If so, you will surely know that Jesus took all our sins upon Him when He died on the cross and by His death we can receive forgiveness. You might like to read more about forgiveness in this article by Randy Alcorn. Here is a clip from that article: Y...
