  1. Charles, that links it to other sites. If I want to cite a post I've made in another page or thread (in a discussion) in this site.....how do I do it? Before, I just say refer to "post#".
  2. What about it? The fact that it's been written and re-written by man.....does not change the fact that some statements in the Bible had been proven true by science! The universe had a beginning.....and the universe is stretching. Both, stated in the Bible! Hahahaha....it is science, that's trying to catch up with the Bible! You're an evolutionist.....this should be extremely of interest to you! Genesis 1 20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. Moving creatures that has life, came to life in the water. Does that strikes a chord with Darwinists? Looks like "man" who wrote the Bible, knew more than our scientists today!
  3. Do I sin? Of course. Who doesn't? Differences in opinion doesn't matter. It's what's in the Scriptures - that's what matters. Just because people have varying opinions doesn't change what's written in the Scriptures. Yes, it's consistent. Both had happened to him. Matthew 27 5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself. Acts 1 18 (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. https://www.gotquestions.org/Judas-die.html http://apologeticspress.org/apcontent.aspx?category=6&article=1761 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_whale
  4. Though some say "thou shalt not kill, " it's actually, THOU SHALT NOT MURDER! That's a good example why cross-referencing is important, James. You're talking about war, and you're also talking about self-defense. Even Apostles carry swords - why is that? https://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-weapons.html Is killing in self-defense, or at war, contradicting anything in the Bible? No. But of course, one's motive behind a deed, is important. You can't hide your motive from God. He knows what's in your heart. Look what happened to King David. He plotted the death of Uriah (while they were at war), at the hands of the enemies. 2 Samuel 11 14 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15 In it he wrote, “Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die.” 16 So while Joab had the city under siege, he put Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were. 17 When the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of the men in David’s army fell; moreover, Uriah the Hittite died. Ecclesiastes 3 A Time for Everything 3 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
  5. A "gander?" You had a glance at it? It takes so many re-readings (and with the help of a Bible-Study book which helps explain the relevancy of some phrases at that time - like customs, traditions, word-meaning, etc.,) to be able to have a good grasp of it.
  6. Well.....isn't that quite ironic? Arguing about the Bible, which you admitted to have not read at all - and instead, believing what others say about it - is exactly like which you described above.
  7. How do you know what's written in the Bible? You may enjoy debating and arguing - but how can you if you hardly know anything about the subject?
  8. Have you ever tried searching for something with your eyes closed?
  9. Of course there are. Thou shalt not murder. Isn't that clear enough? Because there are those who manipulate the Scriptures to suit what they want. Just because some people twist the Scriptures, doesn't mean it's the Scriptures that's twisted! Read the title again. Of course some messages are open to interpretation - however, the interpretation shouldn't in any way, contradict anything in the Scriptures. That's one way to know if your interpretation is right , by reference-crossing to ensure that it's consistent with the Scriptures.
  10. Yeah, right. This is being lobbied by special interest group - so, it's another politicized issue. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/provinces-should-be-wary-of-quebecs-daycare-model/article34712943/
  11. No. Whether they succeed or not, is pure conjecture at this point. We'll have to wait and see.......it may not even happen in our lifetime, if it happens at all. Mind you, that Christians will be persecuted is prophesied in the Bible - so, maybe Christians, having the seat of power in politics, will not happen.
  12. That's the spin. That's how they sell it. Whom are they kidding? If that's all there is to it....... then provide parents with more child care allowance, AND LET PARENTS BE THE ONES TO CHOOSE THE KIND OF CHILDCARE THEY WANT! Another thing.......universal childcare is a financial nightmare. Especially when they're all unionized!
  13. Scheer said he isn't going to silence the MPs from expressing their views.
  14. If there's any shades of fascism around here this days.....it's coming from the Leftists! The agenda of the left (just like in any other communist society), is to get their hands on our children, and indoctrinate them. Why do you think they're pushing for universal childcare? They want to mould the children to their ideology from the earliest stage as possible - from the cradle, if they can! Of course they hate home-schooling! They want it banned!
  15. This was in your article. Which is only right......
  16. Hahahaha You forgot to mention gays! Oh boy...... The US is doomed now. They're going back, no matter what. It's either with Christianity.....or with Islam. Take your pick Oh the fear-mongering.......the sky is falling........
  17. The more the Libs will ramp up the scare-mongering, demonizing technique against Scheer. Because that's all they can do....... ..........when Canadians start feeling the painful pinch from Trudeau's big spending spree!
  18. No doubt, the Liberals will try all they can to demonize him. That's what they do with opponents that are hard to beat, like Harper as an example. Boy, the scare-mongering the Libs feverishly spread - topped with that famous ad: "We did not make this up." hahahaha The Libs are good at it. They've perfected the art of lying.....it's second nature, now.
  19. What's the point? You don't read anyway.
  20. There are messages in the Bible that are plainly, and clearly stated..... that there are no other interpretations.
  21. That's nitpicking. Scroll back up. Someone already asked about translations, and I think Blackbird also gave an answer.
  22. That's in Evidence for God. Oh yeah.........I forgot. You don't read.
  23. Oh boy, Taxme....... See what I mean? You give yourself as an example of people whom I say, usually argue from ignorance. Hahaha So what are you doing in this thread? Why do you bother? Why does it seems to matter to you?
  24. Yep. "So far down the line of evolution," being a figure of speech for......."I'm merely guessing."
