Are you kidding? Every topic goes off-topic! I especially liked the advice: don't have too many children you can't afford! Have a good day,Mandy

Hey Irene,You must be young-at-heart because most 70 year olds that I know have no interest in learning how to operate the computer.  Besides, today's 70 is the new 60!     I'm going to be 40 in May and I'm going to celebrate by running my last marathon.  My knees are showing signs of arthritis and I just can't keep going the way I have been.  No…[Read more]

Spam folder? Should I be checking this folder? Where might I keep such a folder? I just got my laptop back from the repair shop so I think I'm good.By the way, it must be a really cool address that you want for you son for you to have thought to get it now? My kids are begging for email addresses, but I just think they are too young. Plus, I…[Read more]

Theo,I wonder, do you think because this behavior is indeed instictive among the animal kingdom (and we have a working definition for instinct), would you say that God is the source of these apparent behaviors expressed?Cato offered that the attributes of God can be found more readily in his creation than it can in the bible, do you agree? And if…[Read more]

Quote (kejonn @ April 09 2008,22:55)It was all a neat story, but not supported in any other annuls of history. Archeology does not support the Exodus, nor that a large number of Jews were ever in Egypt.How would archeology support the Exodus, if it did, do you think? And how would it prove the Jews were there, if it could?

A miracle is hard to believe, until one happens to you!  

Gotch'a.Thanks for clearing that up sis.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 09 2008,08:47)Hi not3, The hand of God shown in Jesus was His loving hand. Time will come when those refusing his love will see His wrath.Interesting response, Nick. Are you saying that in the OT God did not extend a loving hand? I would agree. But I wonder why?

Hi Irene,To be honest with ya, I'm pretty busy during the day.  I pop in here for a few and then I'm out again.  Even tonight I don't have much time to stay, we had a long baseball night (my son hit one over the fence and stopped the whole game – yahoo – I danced in the stands and everyone came over to congratulate my husband and I – it was so m…[Read more]

Colter,Your avatar freaks me out! I remember the part of the movie (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) where he comes out and says, “Lollipops! Get your lollipops!” As a kid I had nightmares for weeks!

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 09 2008,07:58)Hi not3, Just because the interference of the adversary is visible throughout creation, that does not alter truth.So your saying, and pardon my crassness, that the adversary encourages animals of the same sex to get in on with each other? I don't get it. Why would Satan care about the animal kingdom?

Quote (theodorej @ April 09 2008,07:58)Greetings not3in1…..To answer your question I would think that the human being is the highest order of life on this earth and posesses a free will….where the animal kingdom functions on instinct..in·stinct1   Audio Help   /ˈɪnstɪŋkt/ Pronunciation Key – Show Spelled Pronunciation Pronunciation Key – Sh…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 09 2008,07:55)hi not3, Why do men think their Creator God owes them anything? Jesus cursed the figtree but men remain undeterred.It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of God.Cursing a tree versus slaying thousands of souls? Hardly a good comparision, but I understand what you are trying to say. Again, with the…[Read more]

Hi Laurel,Good to have you back. Sorry that I don't have much to contibute here as you have passed me up many “moons” ago, sister! But I always enjoy reading what you have learned.Take care,Mandy

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 09 2008,06:55)Hi KJ, You are clearly unfamiliar with scripture.It would be better to tell Kevin why he is supposedly unfamiliar with scripture? I'd like to know, too. I think Kevin is pretty well studied.Is what he said wrong? If so, why?Thanks

Quote (Cato @ April 09 2008,02:50)To quote Payne, “Now, which am I to believe, a book that any impostor might make and call the Word of God, or the creation itself which none but an Almighty Power could make? For the Bible says one thing, and the creation says the contrary. The Bible represents God with all the passions of a mortal, and the…[Read more]
