    Did The United States Really Land On The Moon?

    Plenty more where those came from: did they get out in lunar orbit and stick tape on it or something??... Pro 20:17: Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

    Did The United States Really Land On The Moon?

    There is of course no more reason to accept the new NASA photo of the moon landing site than there is to accept the obvious fake photos NASA has already produced, especially as NASA are already proven fakers in other areas, such as in the production of fake moon rocks, for example. It's also...

    Did The United States Really Land On The Moon?

    It's simple. Apollo was a Cold-War Hoax. Apollo Photographic Studies by J.White Apollo Anomalies There are multiple anomalies in the photos: eg.: absent vehicle tracks...flags with no shadows.... multiple light sources.... hatch anomalies... module held together with scotch tape (yes...

    Allah is not the God of Abraham

    If I may be permitted a linguistic comment on this issue: So throughout the Old Testament, the Hebrew word for "God" is elohiym. As all standard sources agree, this word is actually a plural form meaning "gods", even though it has been translated as "God" (singular) in all subsequent Greek and...

    Why has God permitted suffering?

    Who said Christians were "reasonable"? Faith and Biblical authority (among other things) are more important than an arbitrary definition of "reason" given by some atheist, pharisee or other non-Christian. So if a "reasonable" person is offended by a Christian calling God "good" despite His...

    Why has God permitted suffering?

    What I think is that no-one ever wins an argument against an atheist using the "God-is-good" line of reasoning. The deluded atheist merely points to the presence of "evil" in our world, uses the "how-can-a-supposedly-good-God-allow-this-to-happen?" line, leaving the believer unable to answer...

    Why has God permitted suffering?

    What you have wrong is that the God-is-love arguments presented by some in this thread are not really the complete Biblical picture. As I said before, God says He creates evil: Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things...

    Why has God permitted suffering?

    I believe there would be less confusion on this issue if we quoted the King James Bible rather than the NIV which is entirely wrong in its translation of Isaiah 45:7. KJV says: Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. So...

    History of the Inquisitions

    ...though if the secular authorities acted too leniently, they themselves faced excommunication (Walsh p.237). Killing in last-ditch attempts to defend Christendom is one thing, killing to do financial and political favors for non-Christians quite another. In his own way, Torquemada understood...

    Another Great Depression?

    Sounds like the right approach to me. By the way what are you doing about power generation? A wilderness evasion option is also good to have in the vicinity. Luk 5:16 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

    Tattoos are sinful

    Using computers is also a "worldly trend" - but you clearly don't avoid using computers just because of this. Computers aren't very "simple" either. So you haven't yet given any real reason for Christians to stay away from such "trends" as tattooing. Luk 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his...

    History of the Inquisitions

    Agreed. Jesus Himself was not exactly a pacifist: Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. Rather quick to leap to conclusions and pronounce judgment on the savior of Spanish Christianity, aren't you? Jhn 7:24 Judge not according to...

    History of the Inquisitions

    That's assuming the Inquisition happened as people usually imagine. The so-called "horrors" of the Inquisition are merely anti-Catholic propaganda, just as the "horrors" of the witch-hunts are anti-Protestant propaganda. The idea that millions of innocent heretics or witches were unjustly...

    Tattoos are sinful

    I tend towards the view that God is present in his presence - ... but that's just me, though... Interestingly, the only people worrying about the "absence of God" and "blood covenants with demons" are the anti-tattoo faction... maybe demons would be less likely to bother you guys if you had a...

    Tattoos are sinful

    "Thinking" that something is a "sin" doesn't make it so. As tattooing is not mentioned in the Bible nor in the Patristic literature - nor even in any Papal encyclicals as far as I know - on what basis is it a "sin"? Since when are we supposed to make up random new sins without any Biblical...

    Tattoos are sinful

    To celebrate the appearance of yet another "tattoos are sinful" thread, I am booking myself in for another tattoo (a cross on my chest). By the way it seems that the only surviving native European tattoo traditions are Christian. Christian women in the Balkans used to tattoo their faces and...

    Cannabis in the Bible

    God's Gift: A Survey of Cannabis in the Bible available as a free pdf download or book from this site. It's linguistic and occasionally a bit technical - but I personally sent a hard copy to the Vatican just to make sure they got the message. Mat 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth...

    Tattoos are sinful

    As someone with several Christian tattoos, I checked the Hebrew for Lev 19:28 (usually interpreted as anti-tattoo) and was pleased to find that it doesn't actually prohibit tattooing, despite what the KJV translation looks like: Lev 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the...

    Jesus as co-Creator

    "Us" is used in the OT because the word for God in Hebrew is plural (elohim). The word for God is plural because parts of the OT are based on earlier Mesopotamian myths which were polytheistic. Since the Trinity is in essence ONE and the same, Jesus certainly is co-creator of the Universe...

    Nero Killed No Christians

    The Emperor Nero never killed a single Christian. No amount of Hollywood propaganda can change this. To demonstrate Nero's innocence of this charge of killing Christians, we need to look at the historical sources for the lives of some of the earlier Roman Emperors. So here's what the historians...
