One person's poor choice is another's wise choice when it comes to matters that have no real answer. Or many other matters as well, depending on the circumstances. Eating a cheeseburger is a good choice to a starving man while a poor choice for an obese man.

Either that or your line of reasoning is getting redundant.

Why does approach look familiar?

Hey, I'm not the one with 22k+ posts.

Nick, you were doing fine until 1 Thes 5:14. Now it appears you are calling Mandy unruly, feebleminded, and weak.Congratulations.

Give it a rest Nick. You can't even see that Tim was referring to the loving and obedient character of most dogs, not in any way insulting God. You seem to take offense to anything that does not match up with your sensibilities. For a Christian who claims the love of God and Jesus and the freedom it brings, you sure are uptight.Oh and quit…[Read more]

That's awesome! And don't worry, I'm certain Mandy would not be the slightest bit offended at this post. It is very much on topic IMO. It was indeed worthwhile. Thank you for sharing it.Was it a miracle? By modern definition I would say so! So thanks for giving an example of a miracle in your life.

Not necessarily. I think overall the bible gives us a record of the changing spirituality of the Jews and then to a small extent, Christians. Like Tim pointed out, even the way people communicated with God seemed to change. Was that because God changed or was it because the people's views of God were changing?Even today you hear people say “God…[Read more]

Why must you assume God used words? Does He speak to anybody today in that fashion? If He spoke in words beack then, why did He stop? Why did He stop doing the miracles? So many things God supposedly did thousands of years ago, He quite obviously no longer does. People will try to make excuses and say it is because we are wicked, blah blah blah,…[Read more]

Everything else is of the devil and will cause them to lose their salvation.Entertaining…[Read more]

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…[Read more]

Yes, I've read that somewhere. Seems the original hearer wasn't buying into it either.

Obedience is the measuring stick of the selfish.

No requirements. You are depending on a book to guide you to God. Since when has a book really helped you in real life? Do you read the instruction manual for anything? If so, you are unusual. That being said, do you think God needs an instruction manual if you are willing to open up to His presence? Perhaps you will come to realize that atheists…[Read more]

No head start. I don't claim revelation. God is accessible to all by walking outside.

Bewitched? I'm not into Wicca. I'm into my fellow man and the evidence of God found therein. That and creation itself and the wonders yet to be revealed. I than my Creator for the beauty of it all.
