Quote (Stu @ Feb. 21 2010,08:35)Has the future been written in advance?Only if you are tremendously gullible would that be a topic for your serious consideration.Can you prove that biblical prophecies do not and have never happened. I bet you wouldn't even know where to start.

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 21 2010,08:35)Planet earth will be around for about 5 billion more years, although by then it will be far too hot for human habitation. The sun will go into its red giant phase and will swallow the earth.I remember seeing a video that said that 10 years ago. So that is 5 billion – 10 years.

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 21 2010,08:35)Is there life after death?No of course not. Thank goodness for that.There isn't for the wicked. But the righteous inherit life eternal.

Yes I did think that it might be offensive to Stu's prophet. However, these forums are about testing all things.

Reposted from another discussion in response to KJ's statement that some Christians believe in Evolution.God created life forms which reproduce “after their kind”. Obviously like any good programmer that requires robustness, each of these kinds would need a vast amount of genetic information to cater for a wide variety of environments in order to…[Read more]

Actually I will post my last post into a more relevant discussion.

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 20 2010,16:21)Christianity does bring out the worst in me!Well it is written that darkness hates the light because the light overcomes it.That said, I can understand animosity toward Christianity. I have similar sentiments because God's name has been used by many evil men in the name of Christianity. Christianity became a very…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 18 2010,05:53)The odds are that inbreeding would cause extinction in quite short order.StuartFirst off, even if there were genetically weak offspring, there could also be strong individuals among them. Inbreeding doesn't always lead to genetic disorders, it only increases the chances because any recessive trait that has bad…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 19 2010,09:27)t8Lets be honest here t8.You say you also worship the Son! Do you have two definitions for the word “Worship”? Can you see those two definitions in Revelations where the Father and Jesus are being worshipped and praised simultaneously?Blessings WJWJ.It is simple, just like believing that there is one…[Read more]

Ergo….THE TESTATOR DEFINED: The Testator is the person who makes the covenant.God is the Testator: 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He…[Read more]

Quote (Gene @ Feb. 18 2010,13:01)WJ…………No God's will is not a “FREE” WILL either. Have you not read this. “FOR GOD DOES ALL THINGS AFTER THE (COUNSEL) OF HIS WILL.

Quote (thethinker @ Feb. 18 2010,05:48)Amen brother! It says that “every creature in heaven and in earth and under the earth” give glory and honor to the Father and the Lamb.

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 15 2010,23:03)I guess it is only fair to point out that t8 has made a set of brilliant excuses for the scriptural contradictions regarding whether you can see god or not, here:https://www.heavennet.net/answers/answer33.htmHis most ingenious excuse is, I believe, this one:the word Lord in our modern translations doesn't always…[Read more]

And what does Tom have to do with anything. Sorry I didn't read your post.I might be wrong, but I thought that Scientology doesn't believe anything on faith. What is true is true because they have personally observed it to be true.

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 17 2010,19:14)Your ‘big picture’ is the sum of its parts.
