Seriously stu, in trying to understand Darwins theories, I am confused about how the first organismhaving irriducible complexity came to be.I admit to not having a brilliant scientific mind, but I try to understand logical explanations.Is there a plausible explanation in the theory of evolution to address this phenomenon?By the way, I enjoyed the video.Tim

I don't quite know why that happened, I changed my post before posting and they both came through.Oh well, I suppose I should have gotten editing rights a long time ago.Tim

Praise God Mandy,May the reconciliation be strong, longlasting and filled with joy and best of times for both of you.Tim

Praise God Mandy,May the reconcialation be strong, longlasting and filled with joy and better times for the both of you.Tim

What is true,A very lucid and well thought out reply.Tim

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 28 2009,12:02)Call it what you want Tim.But, your statement is meant to be against those like myself who sees that God is not only a God of Love but a God of Justice. Your statement is an insinuation that believers in the Holy scriptures that show God as a Just God who executes judgments on humanity regardles of how…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 28 2009,09:36)But you and Tim want to ignore this or make it as if it is a lesser evil for God to do nothing while at the same time accusing Christians who trust God and the scriptures as being blind or sickening as Tim puts it.Hi WJ,I would have never believed that you would slander me or anyone else here. I never…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Feb. 27 2009,10:34)First you are incorrect since God did not create us as slaves to sin.  We are slaves to sin because Adam and Eve chose to sin without considering the effect that sin had on their descendents.  Hi Kerwin,This is a whole other story, but why would you believe that God had no idea what exactly Adam and Eve would d…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Feb. 27 2009,10:34)I do not know what Nick means nor can I really state you are an unbeliever, as far as a strict definition is concerned, because what you are doing is judging and condemning God because he does not enable evil behavior like you do and have been taught to do.You are wrong Kerwin.Unless you too bow down to the book…[Read more]

The bible claims that God commanded man to not murder.Does it make any sense that He would then teach man how to murder by commanding them to murder thousands of people.How cold, black hearted must these men have become after hacking to death mothers who wereshielding their little crying infants, and then mercifully putting these little ones out…[Read more]

Hi 94,You did it again. You think that questioning the bible as falsely accusing God of commanding murder,is accusing God of murder. You really can not see the difference can you?Tim

If God struck them all down with lightning I might believe that He punished them, although much more harshly than would I.He certainly had the power and the ability. He set a precedence with Sodom, and the flood.But when a man whacks off the head of another man, especially an unsuspecting man who was not fighting to begin with, it is murder pure…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Feb. 27 2009,06:22)It is one thing to struggle with scripture but yet another thing to boldly degrade it.  May God be merciful on them who  do that if He so chooses.  That is not a light offense IMOBlessings,KathiHi Kathy,How big of an offense is it to questions the scriptures?Do you think that is blaspheming the Holy Gh…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 27 2009,07:39)Hi Tim4, So you are able to judge these things?Hi Nick,what is to judge.Jephthah was in direct violation of Deut 12:30-31.Deut 12:30-3131 ” You shall not behave thus toward the LORD your God, for every abominable act which the LORD hates they have done for their gods; for they even burn their sons and…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Feb. 27 2009,06:39)Hi Tim,Rest assured that when you are starting to think the worst of God you do not have a clear picture.  Always give God the benefit of the doubt.  I think that these verses may comfort you to know that human sacrifice is apalling to God also.  Deut 12:30-31 31 ” You shall not behave thus toward the LORD yo…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 27 2009,05:26)Hi Tim4, Should we come to you to learn of God then?No Nick,You should believe God.You instead chose believe what somebody else says that claims to have seen and heard Him.Is second hand information so reliable?Tim

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 26 2009,19:21)Hi all Also the so-called contradictions are ambiguos. Here is some info about Jephthah's Vow…”Jephthah's Vow: Did He or Didn't He?by Richard T. RitenbaughForerunner, “Ready Answer,” July 1994It was the sort of thing that generals and kings have done throughout history. Before the great battle that…[Read more]

Hi Kerwin,I know that you were not being judgemental.You are a person with a kind heart. I just can not agree with some of the Christian dogma about what all mankind deserves merely becasue they were born exactly as God made them.Tim

Quote (Gene @ Feb. 26 2009,11:44)Tim……..Around 20 yrs ago i had come to the same conclusions you are experiencing, I had read where God did all this horrible things to the Children of Israel and I couldn't reconcile it with the GOD of Love we read about. I even got a real bad attitude and  began resented Him for being so cruel, He calls…[Read more]

Well there you have it. Now I must be a heathen according to Nick, and all I, and all humanity, justly deserves is death according to kerwin, all because we are exactly as God made us.Kerwin, you are correct about one thing. I don’t understand the justice of God.David screws up and God kills his son. David screws up again and God kills a bunch o…[Read more]
