These are good points, RevOxley_501. It is great to read the post of an intelligent, thinking Christian after seeing so many of the other variety. Although I am familiar with the Greek alphabet from its use in mathematics and engineering, I never knew the history of the use of Xmas to...
Why would anyone with good sense want to do this. According to the Bible Christ is the person who said in Matthew 19:24, " And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. "
This statement suggests that...
I fully recognize that I may not have used the proper words to make myself perfectly clear and I recognize the value of your many wonderful posts. I greatly appreciate your critique of my post. It is through criticism that we have the opportunity to learn and I greatly appreciate your providing...
It doesn't made any difference what a website says, it is what the Bible says. In the first version of animal creation in Genesis, it says that man was the last of the animals to be created. In the second version of animal creation in Genesis, it says that man was the first of the animals to...
It is true that there are cases in which faith is believing what has been proved not true. For example it has been pointed out at Dennis McKinsey's Biblical Errancy, http://members.aol.com/ckbloomfld/ , that the Bible is self contradictory. It therefore follows that the Bible is false without...
When you say
, this indicates you apparently don't even understand that Jews and Muslims also worship the God of the Bible.
When I ask, What do you mean by the religion of Atheism, you respond with the silly comment,
This certainly does not provide an explanation of what you mean by the...
I accept your response as being correct. But this is truly unfortunate. If Roman Catholics are not allowed and encouraged to vigorously challenge religious dogma, they will not develop into clear thinking, rational seekers of truth.
What do you mean by the religion of Atheism, FerventGodSeeker? The only thing atheists have in common is that they are not persuaded by the evidence for the existence of a God. The God they are referring to in their non belief is usually the God as described in the Bible.
There has been theological research on the question of whether Christ was born of a virgin by the late Roman Catholic Theologian, Raymond Brown, and others. Taking into consideration this research, it would be interesting to know what percentage of Roman Catholics actually believe in the...
Dennis Prager is the character who wrote the text quoted below. He seems to confuse his so-called values with the values of the United States of America. He forgets that the American people have never as a nation validated the Bible as a holy book. Our founding fathers were deists and therefore...
No, I in fact have great admiration for secular Jews such as Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, and Albert Einstein.
I dislike Prager, but I also dislike this Family Focus guy (Dobson or something like that) who is a Christian. There are many other Christians whom I do not like. I dislike these...
I have great admiration and respect for the late Milton Friedman. I think Milton Friedman is not only the greatest Jew who ever lived, I also think he is the greatest man who ever lived. He made great contributions to human freedom. I read his wonderful book, "Capitalism and Freedom", a long...

"You don't have to be Christian to acknowledge that the Bible is the source of
America's values. Virtually every founder of this country knew that and...
Accepting the premise, I think one of the primary reasons high intelligence is rare is because there are very few animals who have evolved into upright walking land animals. This upright posture allows the animal to use his hands for other tasks. I believe humans are the only animals to have...
I am a proud supporter of pure laissez-faire capitalism, human freedom, individual liberty, and private property rights. I hold advanced engineering degrees from both the University of Arkansas and UCLA. I was born in Little Rock, Arkansas and lived in Newport, Arkansas through my high school...
