Careful Cato, that sounds like occult talk .

Also had another couple who let their 11 year old die from complications of diabetes while they prayed over her. She had not been to a doctor since the age of 3. She certainly was not getting insulin shots.They feel she died because they did not have enough faith. The mother still believes there is a chance her daughter will be resurrected.

Just had a recent case of a couple who allowed their 15 month old child die because they did not get treatment for pneumonia. They thought prayer was enough. I wonder how much prayer will get their child back and keep them from going to prison? They have only been charged with second-degree manslaughter and criminal mistreatment though.I do not…[Read more]

I blame that Satan character. He probably took a few down to hell for protection until the flood was over. Sneaky devil!

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_EgyptAncient Egypt was a civilization in eastern North Africa concentrated along the middle to lower reaches of the Nile River in what is now the modern nation of Egypt. The civilization began around 3150 BC with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh, and it developed…[Read more]

Zounds, mustn't believe experts. They might know what they are talking about after all.

Don't hold your breath. Paul looked for the same thing you do.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 31 2008,20:46)Hi KJ, Absolutely. And you can prove me wrong about anything you like. But you will have to believe something to be able to do that.In the immortal words of Stu:”Huh?”

Nick, you state elsewhereQuote Scripture does offend holders of dogmas.I almost fell out of my chair laughing. You DO realize that you are perhaps the most dogmatic person on this board, don't you? Dogma: An authoritative principle, belief, or statement of ideas or opinion, especially one considered to be absolutely true.

This is an odd progression of posts, Nick. Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 31 2008,13:32)Hi Stu, Taste and see that the Lord is good.

When Jesus said to ask for things in his name, I think people confused the issue and started tacking “In Jesus' name” to the end of their prayers. Notice that when Jesus gave the model prayer in Mat 6, he did not tack his name on to it — he ended it with “Amen”.In any case, I would not think it would be idolatry to say “In Jesus name” if you…[Read more]

Some things to consider on plant life during and after the flood, from http://www.geocities.com/pgspears/fs.htmlThe Survival of Plant SpeciesMost plant communities would not be able to survive the conditions of the flood, for several reasons:1. The seeds would soak in salt water for a year.2. During this year, plant seeds would be subject to…[Read more]

BTW, biblical scholars date the flood at around 2300 BCE, 500 years after the germination of the world's oldest tree.

David,There may have very well been a common ancestral story of the flood. But each has its own variation although they may have some commonalities. That being the case, that begs this big question: with 270 in existence, it would seem that the biblical account — while having some small basis of truth — has 269 other versions vying for their own…[Read more]
