    Discussion Questions about Teens and Religion

    I think that negative religion has negative moral, psychological, and emotional effects. Kids aren't made to hear, "why do you hate Jesus?" or "Jesus is crying in the back of the room" on a regular basis (note: these quotes do not reflect or represent the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, or the...

    Should drugs be illegal?

    I think the key minsunderstanding here is the idea that the drugs are not "on our streets". They are. You mention that it would be difficult to get PCP. On the contrary, I know for a fact that I could attain a reasonable amount by next weekend, and a steady supply after that provided that I had...

    Genesis 8

    This deserves a more adequate examination on my part. I'm not a big fan of one liners. :) To say that the true Church can apostasize is a contradiction in terms, since the Church is the Body of Christ, those faithful to the Word of God. Do you believe that the Church, the very fruit of the blood...

    Should drugs be illegal?

    Sorry, meant to edit.

    Should drugs be illegal?

    I think the qualifier was that it should be used "responsibly". That's why I advocate medical examinations prior to allowing people to partake of such substances. It's much easier for a minor to get weed or coke than it is for them to get beer. Why is that? It's because there adults can already...

    The Figurative Interpretation: Is it Legit?

    If someone chooses to take a figurative approach to certain portions of scripture, the only thing I request is evidence from the text itself that it should be interpreted in such a manner. I've never met anyone who takes the Bible 100% literally or figuratively. Therefore, to remain consistent...

    Genesis 8

    Matthew 24 16then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. What did WW1 have to do with those in Judea, why not Europe? God bless. -Bill

    Why are Christians so judgmental?

    Perhaps if one feels that he's being abused my members of a particular faith, the best solution is to challenge those people on the grounds of their own faith. I would bring up Matthew 7, for example. It's sad that we, as humans, divide ourselves so readily. I've met some fantastic people that...

    Why are Christians so judgmental?

    The Bible specifically condemns judging one's neighbor, as if he should take the place of God. If someone is a good Christian, they should be able to disagree without condemning people like some intellectual suicide bomber. I think we're forgetting the entire basis of Christianity: love. If a...

    Should drugs be illegal?

    This sums up everything I would say. Why is there such a strong criminal element in the US? What's with the black market, the gangs and mobs, the dirty money and the violence? Why are they here? It's because people want to get high, but the government won't let them make their own decisions...

    Guess who, the new guy!

    Hello, my name is Bill. Hmm, that's a good start. Nice to meet all of you swell people. Religious affiliation: Christian, though many would disagree... Reason: I've seen repeated evidence that points to the divine inspiration of the scriptures. Please note in future discussions that this is...

    Genesis 8

    I'm still trying to figure out what significance 1914 had. How did this happen in 1914? Did it have something to do with WW1? God bless. -Bill

    Genesis 8

    What happened in 1914? I'm not sure specifically what you're talking about. How was his heavenly kingdom established then? Why was 1914 near (Rev. 22:10), to John (AD 65-68)but not (Dan. 12:9) to Daniel (BC 600 or so)? Btw, I think Revelation was named after John's statement, "the revelation...
