Blueangel: I am happy to see that you have such stong faith at such a young age. I pray that you will keep the faith and do not let the presures of this world get to you. Stay strong in your faith pray the prayer that Jesus gave to us! It makes me so happy to see that you are so full of life!!

That still does not show cause for some changes is species. The changes that were made from one gerneration to the next were to vast for the species to survive.

The problem that youa re having is that you are placing all of your faith in man rather in God. All men/women are sinners! We all are imperfect! You should place your love in God and in Jesus! Love will come your way when you believe that you are worthy of divine love, or as the apostle Paul said maybe you are called to be single in order to preach the Word. What ever the case stop felling bad about your love life and enjoy what you have! I use to feel bad about my love life but I decided to stop doing that. When you let go of your expectations of love God will send you love. God sent me a love/friend to keep me company. He will do the same for you just wait!! WOW!!! Well my friend you are mistaking what Jesus is all about. Did your pastor save you from your sin? Did your parents save you form your sin? Jesus saved you from your sin!!!! It seems like you are placing what the church does as the end with all. Jesus died for your sins not a church. Churches may come and go but you relationship with Jesus should never change. Jesus is the focus of your life!! You should fellowship with others but it seems like you are leaving out the best park which is God. Your ex-pastor has nothing to do with your relationship with God. I think you should take the Bible literally. If you believe that or not is up to you. However we are talking about a all knowing God that can maniffest anything that he wants to. The Bibel says that God wasy are higher than out ways. It is our LOWLY ways that limit us from understanding God. You only understand God based on boundaries placed in human exsistance, however inthe exisitance og God the boundaries are not the same. It amazes me how we can be so captivated by stories such as Lord of the Rings or Star Wars, yet we cannot use our boundless imaginations to try to understand the complexities of God. Oh My!!! Praise You Jesus!! Jesus was such a wonderful man. The concept of faith is so profound!!! Faith is something that is hard to come by. Jesus said in the Bible that many people would not believe unless they had signs and evidence. However, That is not what Jesus wanted. A time will come when the signs and evidence will be false, and you will worship a false god. You have to have faith in God, or you will be presentened with false evidence. The time of the AnitChrist has been around for a long time and one day the man who is the antichrist will decieve you with the evidence that you seek. We beileive by faith and not by sight!!!! What you see will be the very thing that will deceive you. Jesus is right because his life fits all of the prophcies of the true Messiah!! No one knows who you are talking about but Jesus is the most written about person in the world!! The Messiah was to be a Jewish man from the tribe of Judah a desendent from King David brought to bring his message first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles. Well no one knows about him? You do not even know his name. No one worked to up keep his legacy, no one died to keep his memory alive, thereforeeee he must have not been that important. Well if you read the Bible you will see that Joseph did not believe Mary at first. In fact he reacted like any man would. He wanted to kick her to the curb. He no longer wanted to marry her. He wanted to send her away. However, he was visted by an angel that told him Mary was telling him the truth and that she was pregnant by the Holy Spirit. I Well I wil pray for you and I hope that you wil get it one day. Your well being is on the line. Pray to God to soften your hard and to let you become receptive of his Word. Love and God Bless always.

Psalm 103 is so beautiful! God saves and restores the soul! image removed

I just think that it is cool that this still predates Jesus Christ!!! And all of the prophecies about Jesus Christ were true and are not made up. I proves that God knew the beginning from the end and he knows all things!!

It can be really hard sharing what you believe with people. I know! What I do know is that sharing the gospel message of Christ is meant to be out of love and not malice. No one of any religion is perfect. In fact the Bible says that we all are sinner snad have fallen short the glory of God. I KNOW I HAVE!!! Anyway the gospel message is simple. I just see it as sharing what you know with a friend out of love because you do not want to see someone that you love hurting. No one should ever tell someone that they are going to hell. No one really knows who is going to hell. My favorite passage from the Bible is Psalms 103 it is one of the most beautiful passages written in the entire Bible. Gods love is everlasting. The fact is that we all must die one day and we have to decide where we want to spent eternity. We have to make the decision before our death. When we step from time into eternity we cannot change our minds. Jesus loved us so much that he paid our sin debt for us. The punishment for sin is death and hell. Since we all are sinners we all deserve to pay for our sins. But Jesus paid for our sin by dying on the cross and taking our punishment for us! John3:16 says---"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. God loves us! He does not want to punish us but to save us. We have to make up our minds that we are sinners and that we need Jesus to pay the debt that we owe. have you ever heard of Pascals Wager? Well it is not right judge others about how they live their lives. Pascals Wager was simple: 1.Accept Jesus Christ and be wrong about God's exsistance.....nothing happens, you have nothing to lose. 2. Reject Christ lose your soul. I really have nothing to lose by accepting Christ it is a win-win thing for me. However, If I rejected Christ and waited until I died, I would lose my soul. I would have to stand before God and give an account of my life. What can I tell God? "Hey I did not believe in you b/c I thought everyone is right." That is not a good excuse. God is patient kind, and slow to anger. Just imagine he gives us a life time to make up our mind about Christ. But as the Apostle Pual said Today is the day of salvation give your life to CHirst today! No one is promised tomorrow and we may not wake up to see tomorrow. When you step from time into eternity it is to late. So make up your mind to give Jesus a chance today. Let Jesus pay your sin debt , let him be your Comforter, and let him be your Savior!!!

Who are the others? The documents are carbon dated so they are that old. Look up information about the Dead Sea Scrolls. Not really because it does not explain how it came to be in the first place. As I said before 4.5 billion years of random acts does not explain anything. In fact, it just affirms that there is a creator. Many species that exist today would not exist if it were left alone to radon evolution. The process of evolution would have taken to long to produce the essential elements needed for some species to survive.

That is not really true. Jesus said in Matthew16:18And I tell you that you are Peter,[a] and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.[c] That is not really true as well... The Old Testament fortold of the people worshiping the Messiah. For example, Daniel 13:13 "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presense. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. Jesus came to people as a humble man but he also knew that at his 2nd coming he would not longer be just a man/prophet. He would be a King sitting on the right hand side of God coming to judge the entire world of their sins. Jesus will separate the saved (Sheep from the unsaved (goats). The unsaved are people that have not accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. If Jesus has the right to judge you on Judgement Day then he expects worship form you. Matthew 25 31"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Philippians 2:9thereforeeee God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

God made genes. I think that it is unwise for people to look at genes and not see their complexities. It is clear to see that they are the result of an intelligent designer. They are derived from a process that is not random or contrived. God is the intelligence behind all of the science discoveries. He is the creator of genes. Our bodies, the universe, and this exsistance that we live in is TOO complex to not have an intelligent designer backing it all up.

It is really not that simple. The Book of Daniel gives detailed information about the accounts of that time and the rulers of the Empires that would fall before the events ever took place. The carbon copy dating proves that the documents were written over 500 years before the events took place.

I guess it depends on what you mean by evolution. I do believe that creatures adapt to their environments. However, I do not believe that we started out as sludge in the sea that evolved into various species. I believe in the account in Genesis. That God created everything as it should be on the sixth day of creation.

Well The Old Testament says that homsexuality is a sin against God. So that would be a contradiction to what God stands for. The act of homsexuality is a sin. Since Jesus was the only perfect being to ever exsist he could not be gay. In the Old Testament The Jews had to sacrifice a perfect lamb or sheep to God without spot or blemish. God called Jesus the lamb of God. So, Jesus was without sin. He was not a sinner. In order for him to pay the price for our sins Jesus has to be sinless. Jesus was not married b/c the prophcies from the Old Testament tells us that the Messiah was not married and had no (BIO)children of his own. He only had spiritual children, this is listed in Isaiah 53 for example. The Old Testament pretty much holds its weight. I went to a museum that displayed the Dead Sea Scrolls and it was interesting to see the Old Testament Scrolls. Based on carbon dating the scrolls are authentic to the time before Christ. In addition, many of the stories have historical data to back up their claims. I think that there is more that is true about the Old Testament rather than things that are unknown. I believe that the OT is all inspired by God. Most of the accounts in the book came to pass. For example, the OT fortells of the falling of the Babylonian, Greek, and Roman Empires and that all came to pass. It fortold of the coming Messiah (Book of Daniel 9-12), who would be born of a virgin, die for the sins of mankind, he would be a prince of peace, etc.

It takes a lot of soul searching and research. For the past three years I have studied the Bible a lot. I have learned things that I never thought about before. It just all makes so much sense to me. I do not see how anyone could not believe in God after looking at all of his creations. I just do not think that everything that exsists is made by chance. The Bible has become so precious to me. It tells the beginning from the end.

The Old Testament is the key to the New Testament. The Old Testament fortells the coming of Christ and what Jesus' life will be like. So, in order to see if the New Testament is true we can look onto the Old Testament about the prophecies of the coming Messiah (Jesus). So the books that were "taken out" so to speak were false documents that did not line up with the Old Testament. Any person can write a false gospel. That is why it was so important to sort the real documents from the fake documents. In any other profession a council would be praised for sorting out the truth from the fake. However, in this case people want to accept any Tom's, Bob's, or Harry's account of a gospel. Jesus was not married and he was not gay. Even in the book of Acts it gives an account of people preaching the wrong message about Christ. It also talks about how more advanced teachers had to correct some of the incorrect facts given out about Jesus. So we now just from the account in Acts that false documents were printed and false information was given out. The stands alone and its truth will be everlasting.

I believe that every part of the Bible is true. I read the book a lot. Everyone has the right to do what they want to do. But on Judgement Day I hope that we all have made the right choices that will put us in good graces with God. We all are sinners and have fallen short the glory of God, thereforeeee it is important that we see the saving grace that Jesus gave to all whom look to him for salvation.
