Well, we got plenty of BS right here at home. Do you know what the scientologist believe? They believe that millions of years ago that Capt Zeon (I think, it's been a while since I researched it) was a leader of a bunch of planets that were overcrowded. To solve the overcrowding he sedated them and put them on spacecraft resembling DC-9s, and…[Read more]

Amen David. Glory to the true and perfect savior and messiah Lord Jesus. Peace to you and yours- Mark

You seem to believe what you profess like it was gospel. In my view, you are in line with the pharisees, who prided themselves on justifying themselves through the law.

Rokkaman, I am so sorry for taking your thread off course.

P.S. Ed, I am not denying the power of perfection, on the contrary- Jesus, my brother, God , and friend, is perfect. Perfectly perfect. Love and peace-Mark

Thamks Gene.  My point in my post was to comment on Erwins and RM's discussion. I was impressed by the answers and replys and especially the conclusion.  You and I are eye to eye on the fact that God does things and allows evil according to his will, and we just have to accept that. God must love me very much, or more likely I am as hardheaded a…[Read more]
