  1. So, when did evolution quit evloving?
  2. Come on. I know that you don't really believe that we are just a few notches above an ape in intellegence and that's all there is to it. The fact that we plan things months or even years ahead of time, and then make efforts to see them through, whether it's a vacation or a kid's college education, tells me that we're just a little bit special in the whole scheme of things. This is backed up by the Word of God.
  3. Reading most of your posts, you seem like a very angry person, thererfore, you contradict yourself.
  4. Also explain how we as humans are the only creatures with a fear of death. I'm not talking about the self preservation of a gazelle runnning from a cheetah. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I knew that would be the standard answer. Humans know about death and try to prolong life by any possible means. The gazelle, on the other hand, is munching grass and doesn't give a thought about death until the cheetah is thirty yards and closing.He just doesn't want to be dinner tonight. He's not thinking who's going to take care of the children, will the wife have enough grass to live on till old age, etc? I find it amazing that the scientific community, who denies the consequences of sin, spends so much effort in overcoming them.
  5. That's all the opposition has to offer.
  6. But there would be a huge influx of old hippies that they would have to deal with.
  7. Well then, it's your turn to explain the concept of sin and the reality of death. Also explain how we as humans are the only creatures with a fear of death. I'm not talking about the self preservation of a gazelle runnning from a cheetah.
  8. Exactly. That's why Israel is fixing ot open a major can of whoop ass on them.
  9. It's hard to fight when you're sitting on your fat ass, staring at your belly button.
  10. If every time you walked down the street, some little ankle biter of a dog came out and took a chunk out of you, how long would it be until you drop kicked it into doggy heaven?
  11. About like a pot on the wheel feeling good about being formed, not knowing it has a huge character flaw, and suddenly gets crushed and thrown aside. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let me say that I find the triple-O thing rather derogatory,and beneath of man of your supposed intellect and station in life. You probably think it's rather cute. One must first accept the principle of sin before you can grasp the idea of flawed humans. I don't think you need a Sunday School lesson on the creation of Adam and his fall from grace, which was his personal choice. His choice brought sin and sin brought death. I don't know that I've ever heard it before, but I believe that the curse of death came upon every living thing, and possibly upon all of creation. The heavens and the earth shall pass away , but my word shall not pass away. Matt.24:35 All desease and handicaps from birth are a result of the curse of sin. I do not have to strike my chest or throw dust upon my head and cry, "Why, God why?" Railing against God for every supposed problem that befalls mankind as an excuse not to believe in Him is denying our part in the whole problem.
  12. According to the atheist/ agnostics on the site, the laws of righteousness are already in your very being, therefore they need no higher authority. Assuming for a moment that were true, the Cannanites, or even the people of Sodom should have been walking the staight and narrow without someone else telling them what's right or wrong. Assume that the god of the Bible is who it says he is, He then has the authority to use anything or anyone as his agent to clean up a mess. In the case of the Cannanites he used the Jews. As for Sodom and Gomarrah, he used a misguided meteor shower. The problem we humans have is trying to grasp the infinite God with a finite mind. About like a pot on the wheel feeling good about being formed, not knowing it has a huge character flaw, and suddenly gets crushed and thrown aside. This world has been on a downhill slide since its creation, and will continue until it's all over. Our attempt at playing God is not going to change the outcome. I rest completely in this. Basically, we, as mere humans, are pissing into the wind, thinking that we can do anything to change the final outcome.
  13. ) Ever heard of the Navajo Nation. A soveriegn country within the US.
  14. Maybe she should have set up the studio in a doctor's office during vacinations. Would that have pleased you? At least she isn't using public money to present something that is intentionally offensive to many people. P.S. Five minutes after it all happened, those children were either laughing or crying about something else, and probably never give it a second thought. One reason we now have 30 yr. old children who still live off of mom and dad is this very attitude.
  15. Jesus voluntarily laid down his life. According to Scripture he could have summoned legions of angels to protect him. The sin of every person, past, present, and future sent him to the cross.
  16. First off, are you some kind of speed reader? Secondly, why should anyone , especially Christians, take you seriously, when you have pulled one verse out of a whole story and use it to make your point. I could do this with any book, any time.
  17. Thank you for your response. You have proven my point that if you want it all , you can have it without putting undue burden upon another person or group of people. Especially today. The whole victim mentality is so lame across the board, no matter your race or upbringing.
  18. It should only take one generation of having an equal opportunity in education and job opportunity for a group of people to get their lives on track. I might bite the bullet once for someone, but I will not be held hostage for my whole life, because someone's great great grandfather was a slave. That is the intention of people like Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton. They don't really want blacks to grab the brass ring.
  19. I did two tracking dives today, and I wasn't falling across the sky.
  20. I learned to pack after AFF6 and jumped my own pack on AFF 7. I've been hooked on the rush ever since. I still have about 6 student tickets left. I currently have 66 jumps. It is hard work and good exercise. You don't see too many fat packers.
  21. Spoken so well. End of discussion. Nightingale for Pres.
  22. If the Muslims accepted Christ as their prophet and savior, they would be Christians. Even though they say that they believe Jesus was a prophet, that's a lie, because disobeying the word of a prophet is a sin. Jesus said "Follow me."
