Quote (Stu @ Oct. 01 2007,17:55)Hi t8Yes the child in me always wants to shout “the emperor has no clothes” whenever I am in the company of religious folk!Seriously, I think artists and scientists particularly benefit if they can achieve the qualities you describe.StuartI agree totally. It also applies to that religion called Evolution.That belief…[Read more]

Quote (kejonn @ Sep. 28 2007,02:52)Here is a question for some of you. I have a regular secular job from Monday to Friday. What if I were to volunteer my time to a local mission or something similar on Saturday? Or if I participated in a prison ministry? This would be “work” per se, but I think we can see that Yeshua “worked” in a similar fashion…[Read more]

Hi Ken.Don't you think it is somewhat of an insult to say that Sunday is the harlot's day?All days should belong to God. All is really his. It's not like God owns 6 days and Satan owns 1.I know that 6 – 1 is a pretty big win if you are talking about soccer, but Satan isn't that good to have scored even 1 goal here if you ask me.Sure Satan steals…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 26 2007,21:33)I don't know how matter and antimatter separated at the big bang. We have not found a way to “see” backwards beyond that singularity, partly because the concept of “backwards” becomes meaningless at that point.OK.Can you admit that if this indeed happened, that it is impossible for nothing to have made this…[Read more]

Stu, I think you should choose an avatar so we can see your face.;)

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 25 2007,23:22)Doesn't Corinthians warn of the need to dispose of the things of childhood? It is almost anti-theistic if you follow the hypothesis that religious belief is fundamentally an adopt-a-replacement-parent scheme for adults.To Stu.Basically it teaches that we are to be childlike, but not childish.Adults of course have…[Read more]

He he.

To Laurel.Quote (Laurel @ Sep. 23 2007,10:36)Other Author in Dec. 2007at least that's what I could make of it. My file is jazzed up with some wierd editing format.

Quote (chipwhite @ Sep. 30 2007,11:43)Bump???“Bump” pushes a discussion to the top.

OK, there are 2 verses.Anymore?

Here is an interesting scripture regarding looking after the earth.Revelation 11:18The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great— and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”

Isaiah, we know that Jesus Christ is the Lord, but he is not God.In fact have you not read that God made Jesus both Lord and Christ? I know that you cannot truly believe this.Anyway:Knowing that Jesus is the Christ and the Lord, we can wipe out … Luke 19:31-32 & 2 Peter 2:1.Knowing that the invisible God was/is in Christ who is visible, we can…[Read more]

He he.Good one Stu.Many atheists or people who care naught about God come here to spam. Some other atheists just look for someone's faith to beat up on so they can feel good about themselves and it also makes them feel intelligent. I guess we don't get many eithical atheists here, although I am not saying that it is not possible.But yes you have…[Read more]

The point Ken is not whether there are 2 Sabbaths or whether we are to keep it or not. It is about judging other brothers or sisters with regards to it.We shouldn't judge or harass others who don't agree or who rest at a different time to you. It ultimately only creates unnecessary division. By all means you can teach what you know and show it…[Read more]

Quote (ALivingStone @ Sep. 22 2007,13:11)Still I would pray that the Lord delivers me from dependence on having to have them this would mean having land to cultivate and grow food then I would trade these goods for other things that we might need,But how would you pay the rates?

Quote (kenrch @ Sep. 27 2007,06:13)This is one reason why people keep the first day of the week because they thought (as we all did) that Jesus was resurrected on Sunday along with bunny rabbits that lay eggsI never realised that all people have believed this. I for one have never had an opinion on it.I was never brought up in a mainline…[Read more]

But Ken, it is written in Colossians 2:16Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.How can you say that you are not doing this?It is easy to slip into the law, but I just ask that you show some grace.Yes atheists come here and do much worse, but…[Read more]

First things first.Can you admit that it is impossible for nothing to create something, even everything?

I did.It is my duty as a moderator. I thought about this for a while before doing it. Most people are of the mind that you have some good things to contribute, but your style of putting this forward includes insulting, judging, or attacking others.Although you haven't attacked or judged me personally, (that I can remember) as a moderator it is my…[Read more]

In otherwords Stu, what you believe in is a type of faith. It is by this faith that you believe that nothing created everything. You have no proof and yet you just choose to believe it anyway. So you are religious. Your religion is that nothing is the creator. Nothing is the source. Nothing was before the beginning.I believe that someone made…[Read more]
