Hey Stu.God judges each of us on our lives.The scenario now is that God has given us all some license to do what we want to a degree. If we choose God, then we have truly chosen him. If we choose him not, then that is what we want.If God zapped us all up into the highest realm of his Heaven, I am sure that most would want to serve him if they saw…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Oct. 03 2008,19:33)Why don't all of you reinvent natural science and human psychology while you are at it?  I was waiting to see how long it would take someone to point out that:“It should also be remembered that Lot’s daughters had resided among the morally debased inhabitants of Sodom. In view of these factors, it would not have be…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ Oct. 03 2008,04:23)It is true that a lot of what your saying sounds like justification to me but it also could be a lot more complicated than I realize and maybe we don't have all the information?Only faith is not of sin. You and I are just as filthy as Lot and anyone else. Only by faith are you not sinning and that is why we all…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ Oct. 03 2008,04:23)But my point was that Lot was supposed to be righteous.  He was also aware of the unwritten and written “laws' of God.  Incest is clearly written.  Yet he was not destroyed but the town that he came from was!!  Could it have been that he asked for forgiveness and the other's did not?  Perhaps….Did Lot have…[Read more]

Thanks malcolm.

To Stu.Quote Quote (Stu @ Oct. 02 2008,07:24)Pre 1948, men read in scripture that God would lead the Jews back to Israel. Many didn't believe it would happen. After being scattered for about 2500 years, it came to pass in 1948.Bible prophecy is certainly hidden away from the wicked as it says that the wicked will not understand.I wonder if it is…[Read more]

So which are you Stu?You say that you don't know what the cause of the universe was, whether it was nothing or a type of dead thing, you only know with almost certainty that there is no God, even though you profess to know nothing on this subject.I will let you guess for yourself Stu whether you are of the brightests minds in science or a dim mind…[Read more]

The other point I was making is that being righeous is not what most think it is. It is simply having faith in God because we all fall short of the glory of God. So those who have faith, also sin, and some have sinned greatly. Nevertheless, such can still have great faith.I tend to keep away from societies tendency to condemn those who make…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ Oct. 02 2008,06:54)So if your wife had sex with your son you would leave that for God to judge – you wouldn't say or do anything?  Sorry, just bringing it a little closer to home and our reality.Sure that is pretty sick, I agree, but the point I was trying to make before is that we are all sick whether we choose to beleive it or…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ Oct. 02 2008,06:54)Hi t8,Thanks for taking the time to reply.Quote Do I really have to spell out which is what?Surely anyone can determine prophecy from history, from God speaking.You must realize that there are those of us who are much more simpleminded than yourself.  For instance, it is not obvious to me or to Tim (it sounds…[Read more]

Nice one 942767.Although in New Zealand we tend to look after the South Pacific Islands, and Australia tends to focus on South East Asia such as Indonesia. Haiti seems a world away from here.

If you don't invest your money, then you have nothing to lose, oh and nothing to gain either.

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 30 2008,23:21)t8Quote It is also not too hard to see that which remains in Revelation coming to past even though it was written around 2 millenia ago. Once you accept that with god anything is possible, then Revelation can match whatever events you want it to.  Of course you could put 'not' in front of every prophetic statement…[Read more]

Quote (malcolm ferris @ Oct. 01 2008,17:32)Hi LUYes – he was the Royal seed of Abraham.A king must be born of royal stock. As such they are born into royalty as a future heir.For a man to be an heir to a kingdom he must also be the firstborn (of course)unless of course his brother(s) die…So was Jesus truly the firstborn or did he inherit that…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Sep. 30 2008,15:35)Nick,You said once that we can be just like Him.  Why can't we be a vine?It says that he is the vine and we are the branches.We can be like a vine if you change the meaning of the parable to something different. Like I am a vine and my sons and daughters are the branches. Although then I have to fit my wife…[Read more]

Hello.

Put it this way Stu, if someone doesn't believe in a creator, then the only options are nothing being the cause, or something non-living being the cause. It is not too hard to see that both options are silly.But feel free to add another option. What else is there besides a living creator, a non-living thing or substance, or nothing.Feel free to…[Read more]
