Hi t8,Quote But I repeat that I am not prepared to judge Lot as you seem to be. I know sin is sin, but I also know that we all sin, albeit in different ways. It seems hypocritical to say how sinful someone else is when we are all sinners. I am not going to get caught in that trap. We should be more concerned about our own sin than the sin of…[Read more]

Dave,Quote “So they kept giving their father wine to drink during that night; then the firstborn went in and lay down with her father, but HE DID NOT KNOW when she lay down and when she got up.”Um, Dave, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that the male anatomy is such that you have to WANT IT to be able to function properly….there is a level…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Oct. 02 2008,20:09)I tend to keep away from societies tendency to condemn those who make mistakes. I think of the woman caught in adultery and all the people that were ready to stone her. Jesus said “let him who is without sin, cast the first stone”, and nobody stoned her. They all walked away.I love this passage but irony has it that…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Oct. 02 2008,20:08)Would you eat a human being? Would you do it if you were born in a cannabilistic tribe in New Guinea? Maybe. You see, the setting, environment, knowledge, all have their part to play. In different circumstances it might surprise you what you are could be capable of.But my point was that Lot was supposed to be…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Oct. 02 2008,10:49)Mandy, I just wanted to know what you believed and why.  To me, this scripture was very clear.  After a moment of insanity, and wrong thinking, and logic, it is clear again.And with out any one saying anything to the contrary, I have no reason to believe that Phil 2:4-8 doesn't point very clearly to Jesus' p…[Read more]

Irene,Wow. When you are hit with that kind of news it's hard to process. I will definitely pray for Cindy. And by the way, how much more can YOU take? Goodness. I hope you are resting and trying to take good care of YOU. My prayers are for you as well, sister.God keep you all in his care, Amen.Mandy

Hi t8,Thanks for taking the time to reply.Quote Do I really have to spell out which is what?Surely anyone can determine prophecy from history, from God speaking.You must realize that there are those of us who are much more simpleminded than yourself. For instance, it is not obvious to me or to Tim (it sounds like) whether the Lot story is useful…[Read more]

I won't allow my kids to enter chat rooms or be a part of message boards. There are too many danger's associated with this – even when they become older teens (especially not then).I suppose they will have access when they are at a friend's house, and that will be all. And you are correct, training needs to be given so they understand the real…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Oct. 01 2008,15:18)Hi Irene, t8, Nick and 94,Thanks for welcoming my daughter “Gentleness.”  She likes you all already:;):   She is eleven and sees me involved here and wanted to join the fun.LUHi Kathi,My daughter is nearly 10 and she reads some of the entries and has some pretty good questions concerning some “explainations” o…[Read more]

Another thing I was pondering concerning Lot and the girls.  It says that they laid with their Father and then conceived.  Hmmmm?Were they both ovulating at the same time?  Did it work like “magic” and only take one time of intercourse for them to conceive?  This is highly doubtful.  It doesn't work that way usually.  This story is becoming more…[Read more]

David,I just figured you knew? Sorry.I've been pretty busy so I haven't checked in. Even now I only have a few moments before football practice.

I love greek food!YUM! I don't think anyone is relying on reason, itself, by itself. But of course it has to be employed.Sometimes I wonder if you fear anyone who is thinking on their own? Or if it doesn't sound like it lines up with the written Word, exactly?Could this be a spill-over from your Catholic up-bringing, I wonder?If wisdom is so…[Read more]

Thanks, Adam!Love,Mandy

David,The conversation regarding Philippians is better suited to this thread – don't you think? Let's discuss it here instead of the Preexistence thread. I'll respond here later this evening to your queries of this scripture.Thanks,Mandy

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 28 2008,17:15)GB, Your boasful claims to intellectual and spiritual superiority are not reflecting well on you. Reason is not our God.God said to Abraham, “….come, let us reason together…”.I believe God enjoys the fact that he can converse with this children and get a thoughtful response out of them. After all,…[Read more]
