Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 13 2008,06:44)Quote (Cato @ Mar. 13 2008,06:32)So God creates our souls at physical conception, throws us into the world at birth with vastly different circumstances thereof and gives us all the same test of faith with the same ultimate results.  For what purpose then are we created? Most of us then fall in the cosmic…[Read more]

Hi Nick,My dad died yesterday so I am going to be away for a few days.I hope that I see an answer from you to that question when I come back. Not just another question to side step the answer.I honestly want to know how decent people can convince themselves that evil is good because God supposedly said it.Bless you Nick, I love you.tim

Hi Nick,God is in charge, telling me not to believe any of the nonsense that was written about Him.God would say, “Believe what is written that defines Me as I am.”Now, you never answered my simple question did you.Do you honestly believe that God said that it was allright to rape a young virgin as long as you married her and paid her dad 50…[Read more]

Hi Nick,Scriptures tell us that they are useful. which ones tell us that every word is true?Do you honestly believe that God said that it was allright to rape a young virgin as long as you married her and paid her dad 50 scheckles?How can you believe that is true of God just because it is written in scriptures?I think that God is going to ask a…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 05 2008,16:11)Hi Mrs, You say”Do you believe in the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit then in my eyes you believe in the trinity.” Huh? The Father is our God and Jesus is His Son and our Lord who is filled with His spirit.Hi Nick,You repoied to Mrs. but it was K77 that made that statement.Tim

Hi Mrs.Many people float around numerous boards searching for just the right place to settle in for a while.They may stay for a short while and then are searching again. It has nothing to do with anything that was done wrong here, or could be changed. They may actually never find a place that they are truly comfortable.On any forum where debate is…[Read more]

HI cato,My thoughts exactly.Get out of my head. Tim

Quote (Stu @ Mar. 01 2008,11:33)That is something I had not even considered; that someone might think there was a causal relationship between the two events. Am I Damien from The Omen?  My birthday is 6 June!StuartHi Stu,I did not say a causal relationship, I said some involvement.Regardless of what that involvement may have been, causal or prior…[Read more]

That's O.K. Stu.I knew that would be your take on it.The medical staff, who like to think of themselves as gods, thought that it was miraculous.They are fully aware of what to expect from their modern antibiotics, and they did not expect what happened.I really was not looking for patterns that really were not there. But I would be foolish to deny…[Read more]

Hi Nick,On second thought I apologize to you.When I made that statement I failed to think about how dogs are viewed in different cultures around the world.My dog is my best friend and gives me unconditional love, just like God.In some places a dog is considered the evening meal. I need to be moreunderstanding.Tim

Quote (kejonn @ Feb. 29 2008,00:09)That was just a counter to what Nick was trying to prove.Just curious, can you give me examples of miracles you've encountered? Gene mentioned the same and I asked him but he never gave any examples.Hi Kejohn,I will give you one, but it is rather long. I took some time to type all of this. I hope that you take…[Read more]

It is curious that when Adam spoke with God it was an informal conversation.Like they were sitting together in a garden.When Abraham spoke with God he had nerve enough to even disagree with God's decisions.When Moses spoke with God it was a fearsome event like talking to a blast furnace.When I speak to God I hear no vocal answers, but I have seen…[Read more]

Quote (kejonn @ Feb. 28 2008,13:38)Wow, it seems that people can overtake the power of God. So I guess the lack of similar miracles in modern times is due to a lack of belief in the power of God?I have to disagree with you there kejohn.I have personally witnessed many miracles. Quite a few have happened to those that do not believe, so that they may.Tim

It is a very wise decision that no one should know when the end will come.Many people have done extremely foolish things when they thought they knew.Like quit their jobs, abondon their homes, even speed it up a little by killing themselves.God is very wise to keep this knowledge from us. But of course God is wise, that was redundant.Tim
