They are called the 10 Commandments. Check them out. What good is morality if it's only based on your own reason? That sounds pretty arbitrary to me.

the bible should be the way to check the accuracy of archaeology, not the other way around.

[On the Shroud of Turin]

From what I watched on the tv show and what the Bible say, Jesus was raped in it for 3 days and then He rose from the dead.

The only problem with the Bible being stories and myth or whatnot is that it would be very unique. I mean, all of it's major players ahve huge falws with them. Look at David. Great guy, man after God's own heart. Adulturer and murderer. He's not the perfect heroe like heroes should be. The Bible is all too true in its depiction of men.

What do people think about this? As most know there is this lady in Nigeria who has been ordered to be stoned to death for having a child out of wedlock. This has caused a significant outburst from western nations worldwide arguing the ruling is inhumane, uncivilised and breaches basic human rights. Although I find decision to be somewhat "harsh" this lady bought about her own judgement. In Northern Nigeria where the sha'riah is the law, it is a well known offence to commit adultery and although the stoning will be the first time it's practised in the region the Qu'ran makes it clear it is a capital offence. So although she knew her actions might lead to her death she took the risk anyway and now under shar'iah law she is going to be punished for it. I respect the human rights groups but I really don't think they understand religion at all and are only preventing justice before Allah or God taking place. From a Christian perspective I don't necessarily think it's wrong as well. When Jesus was preaching some Jews bought him a woman guilty of adultery and asked if the men condemned her. She said no so Jesus didn't condemn her neither. However, the men in Nigeria do condemn her so it seems likely she is worthy of her death. If you ask me, I think Jesus would urge compassion towards the lady and she shouldn't be stoned to death however establishing a worldwide crusade to prevent this stoning she bought upon herself shows a lack of respect for religion.

If I were a Muslim then my will would be to do Allah's will. If that means slaying thousands of Christians in Jihad then I'd probably do it.

Why God allows bad things to happen to good people.

This is the question that an unbelieveing world simply finds unbelevable. And I am not going to even pretend to know how God works, or why bad things happen.

But if you have "Still Paying Dues", The new P.O.D. DVD then you will have heard Sonny tell why his mom had to die of cancer. He says it took that much of a megaphone for Sonny to come to Christ. In other words, God wasen't getting through to Sonny so he used the death of Sonny's mom, whose dying wish was that Sonny come to Christ, to grab Sonny by the hand and lead him into the kingdom of God. Yep, God will go to those measures to get ahold of one person. And now because of that Sonny and his mom will be together in heaven.

I felt so much encouragement and joy from hearing that story and I realized that sometimes we are so closed to God's word that it takes tragedy to bring about change.

Evolution uses just as much circular reasoning as to the fact that it cannot be reproduced in a lab. The whole concept of evolution is speculation therefore just going around telling everybody its true because scientists say its true is circular reasoning.

But even you should be able to understand that at the time people lived that long, there was no cancer, there was no polution, no cfc's, no unnatural foods, etc..
The reason is because there was so few people and technology couldn't create polution.
Well, anyway if you believe the Bible you would know that sin created bad genetics and bad health. Ever since the fall of man we have been slowely dying.

Noah lived to be 950 (Genesis 9:29). And Methusela lived into his 900's also. Read your Bible. Before the flood men use to live very very long times. After the flood the death age got younger and younger. Again you have no idea how long people lived back then because you believe man and not God, your creator.

you see, as much as you want to believe that science is a great revelation and we have advanced so far, The Bible is far more accurate. I don't care how tall your "mounds" of evidence are. God's word supercedes any kind of scientists. You don't know how things worked before the flood. That oxygen thing is true, but before the flood our bodies didn't work that way. I'm going to have to use the God's soverignty arguement on this one....and oh how you hate that one so.

[On Genesis]

It is different from a regular account because God chose to tell us the story in His way. Why He chose to tell the story in such a way is not a question that we are authorised to ask.

[After being told both civilizations had extensive records going right thru the alleged time of the flood]

The word of God is evidence enough. The egyptian and chinese accounts of history were obviously wrong and so that is why they were punished in such a way. God was obviously setting an example.

With such a diverse and large amount of genetic information within each of our cells, i find it not that hard to believe that different characteristics we see today could have arised from recessive traits in Noah's genes. After all, so much of the human genome we know nothing about.

If i was born in exactly the same situation as them [the 9/11 hijackers], with exactly the same genes as them, i would have done exactly the same thing as them. Because there would be no reason i wouldn't have. Consider this statement closely if replying.

The people of Hiroshima can tell you Nuclear reactions happen. They observed it. Now, show me macroevolution so I may observe it happening."

"On forensic science, again, I cannot comment. You want me to compare the two, but I cannot because I have not studied forensics."

"The funny part is that this nearly exactly parallels what Jesus said when He said that people would choose to ignore the truth and instead gather around them teachers that will tell them what they want to hear.

I remember not too many years ago, my girlfriend loved this singer Geoff Moore. He had this song bashing evolution. That was actually one of the catalystits for me looking into evolution. Frankly, that song P.O.d me! I got into debaqtes with creationists over it and it angered me they were so stupid. But I didn't have hard facts to support evolution, only questions they couldn't answer. So I researched it so I could finally shut them up. Only to find that although they couldn't answer my questions, I couldn't support my evolutionary belifes with any facts that I could stand behind. In the end, I found they were unlearned in it, but right.

That is correct and let me remind you that this is a Christian bullentin board and no, we do NOT change what the Bible says to fit our beliefs. If you persue this direction of thought you will be escorted out of here.
