    Stupid Question

    jasoncran, I have no idea who adrian rogers is, but I don't think much of those words. As somebody who is very much interested in the sciences, philosophy and other subjects, I think that it is time well spent doing what we can to explain everything in life to the best of our abilities. In my...

    Stupid Question

    Mysteryman, I totally disagree that Teach's comments are counter productive. Are our conceptions of God and the teachings of Jesus subject to any interpretation, or much we accept your version of the way it has to be? I believe God exists, and I love Jesus, but I also realize that there are...

    Stupid Question

    Teach, Thank you for your posts. I think that we are much more in agreement with each other than, say, HisSheep. Bottom line, it is highly unlikely that we will ever know all of the attributes of God, but there are some things in life that will probably always be somewhat mysterious. As...

    Stupid Question

    When it comes to knowing all of the attributes of God, including such things as omniscience, we can know as much as we know, but I have no reason to believe that we will ever know everything about God. That's just a description of the way that life works. HisSheep has said that he's one of the...

    Stupid Question

    HisSheep, Dude, it's highly unlikely I'm going to be impressed with how disagreeable you can be, and I'm quite clear that I didn't join this forum to do battle with people. From what I can tell, the issue before us is not whether or not I disagree with Paul, it's about whether or not you...

    Stupid Question

    I have some serious issues with some of the things that HisSheep wrote, particularly what he said about how we are all entirely bad, we all fully deserve Hell and there is no one who does good. I get it that we are all entitled to whatever set of beliefs that we come up with based on our life...

    Im gay, my father killed himself

    In my experience, people have a tendency to underestimate how powerful it is to find forgiveness for ourselves and others. We hear a lot about forgiveness, but what is often not said is that the first person we have to forgive is ourselves. In fact, I seriously doubt that it is possible to...

    Asking forgiveness

    There are many things in life that I have found that the more you do them, the easier they are to do because you see the benefits of the actions. In the case of forgiveness, I had no idea that it was such a powerful thing to do. I have also found that when we forgive, it has very little to...

    Aloha

    Mike, It's nice to hear from you. One of my favorite parts of the Bible is where Jesus tells the apostles-to-be that they will be "fishers of men." I think about that passage a lot. After all, these were very simple men who had no reason to think that there lives would be any different than...

    In need of desperate help

    Sebastian, I am sorry to hear of your situation. A number of years ago, my brother-in-law, who was also my best friend, was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer. I used to take him to his chemo appts. with his wife by our side. In nine months, he went from about 260 lbs. to under 150...

    Use Of FACEBOOK Destroys Marriages

    If use of Facebook is going to destroy a marriage, there's a pretty good likelihood that the marriage isn't all that strong to begin with. Getting fixated about Facebook, golf, poker or uncountable other things is more of a sympton that one or both of the people in the marriage are finding...

    Stupid Question

    I have a good friend who is a pastor with the United Church of Christ, and we have breakfast together twice a month. Whenever we get together, we talk about questions and issues related to interpreting the Bible. Awhile back, I asked him about his take on free will, and he came back with a...

    There's no absolute truth? Are you absolutely sure?

    logical bob, It does appear that we agree on quite a few things. When it comes to playing the "what if" game regarding history, everything is speculation about what might have happened. One of my points is that what happened happened, what exists exists. In human history there is always a...

    Hi My name is Neo

    Neo, Welcome! I am also a new member of this forum and a writer, as is Flint. It's interesting that a number of writers seem to be gravitating to this site. I hope you enjoy your time here, and I'm willing to discuss just about anything. Best wishes!

    Friendly atheist

    Hello! I am also new to the forum, and I grew up in a not very religious Jewish family. For much of my life, if somebody had asked if I thought God exists, I would have said 'yes," but, in truth, I'd never really thought about it all that much. I started college as a chemistry major, but...

    There's no absolute truth? Are you absolutely sure?

    logical bob, One more thing... I'm not going to deny that luck is a factor in what has transpired in human history. From what I can tell, some people and ideas have much more of a propensity for being in the right place at the right time than others. What I've also found to be true is that...

    There's no absolute truth? Are you absolutely sure?

    logical bob, OK, if I misinterpreted you regarding how logical it is to think that everything can be explained logically, I apologize. It's just that I've run into quite a few atheists, many of whom are very nice people, and I've had a chance to examine pretty much every piece of atheist...

    There's no absolute truth? Are you absolutely sure?

    logical bob, I am a new member of this forum, and I am interested in this subject. It seems to me that you start with a certain assumption, that everything in life can be explained logically. Just how do you know that this is true? On other forums, I have engaged in conversations with many...

    My name's Flint!

    Flint, Actually, I fell in love with The Shadow in the 1950's. I'm 66 now, born in 1943, and in the 50's, on Sunday afternoons, there used to be half-hour radio shows all afternoon, including Jack Benny, Burns & Allen, Gangbusters, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy and some others, but The...
