In public schools, children should be taught what science leads us to believe about the creation of the earth. A teacher should never explicitly state or imply that there is no God or that God did not create the world. I'm more concerned about teachers intentionally trying to destory faith than...
You lost me with the gun analogy. Asking someone to wear a mask or to social distance to protect someone else who refuses vaccination is like telling people they must limit how and when they drive their car, because there are some people in other cars who refuse to wear seat belts. Then once...
I don't think you get what I said and I know I don't get what you said. How am I selfishly focusing on myself? I've been wearing a mask all along, and not for me. I have had little concern about personally getting Covid, much less dying from it. But I wore a mask for others. I am now vaccinated...
One thing is for certain... people who choose to not get vaccinated do not want anyone to mask up to protect them from Covid. They choose to not get vaccinated as they do not feel at any serious risk. That is their choice. Some of those close to me are vaccinated and others think it's...
Your choice of words such as "liar", "bad mouth your own God", and "magic boat" seem to indicate you are a bit more sarcastic or hostile on this subject than I am. I'm not sure how to talk to you or if it's worth the effort.
You and I come to different conclusions. My conviction or personal witness for God and Jesus Christ are based on scripture reading, and personal experience. I believe God has revealed himself to me with tremendous love, integrity, mercy and consistency. He is in my life. I find great profound...
That's silly. God doesn't lie. God may have used evolution for creation. I see no place where he said otherwise. My point is what's the difference to God between a few trillion years and a few 24-hour days as we know them? He can do any or all of this in either time frame, or both or neither...
My comment is more directed to people who believe God created the world and also believe in a young earth with no evolution. I was sharing a perspective on how one can keep thier faith in God, believe the Bible, and remain open to science.
I actually don't see why it's funny. It could be true. I believe God created the earth. That's not negotiable to me. How long it took is negotiable. How God did it is negotiable. But surely an omnipotent God, if truly Omnipotent, could create an earth in one nano-second or he could do it over a...
There are plenty of highly intelligent, well educated, critical thinkers, who believe in God. I think it's a fair question to ask if atheism runs at a higher percentage among the more educated, than among the less educated. I don't know but it might. My reason would be that pride is a stumbling...
I believe that parents who believe there is a God who has commandments regarding sex, should teach such to their children. They should teach about sex in a very positive and beautiful fashion and explain that the Lord has put parameters around how, when, and with whom this beautiful, loving...
