    Why does my God allow children to die? Is he evil?

    Actually, I agree with what you say - despite my wording my post the way I did. I suppose my reason for posting what I did is that I cannot seem to forgive myself my sins even though I know that Jesus Christ can forgive me so long as I am truly repentant, and have faith in him. The trouble is...

    How do I raise my son with a healthy view of God.

    At the end of the day, your son is the only one who can point himself on the path which is right for him. I am a Christian (as is my wife); I tried to bring up my sons to be Christians (or at least open to the possibility of being Christians); One is an out and out Atheist, the other is an...

    Why does my God allow children to die? Is he evil?

    I haven't read through this thread - apart from anything, I'd be too tired to post after doing so... The basis (Fellow Christians please correct me if I am wrong) of our lives here upon Earth is to give us the opportunity to make a choice as to how we are to live our lives. The last time I...

    Christian Camp Counselor sexually assaults 13-year old boy; church calls it "horseplay"

    I agree - pretty foul; perhaps that is what he does with horses - poor horses....

    Children Should be Banned

    I believe that children aged 1 year and older should "disappear" (to be taken care of away from the parents), and returned to the parents aged 17 or 18, by which time they are well behaved, much quieter, and (hopefully) reasonably mature.

    What do you do when you are not here?

    I do my share of the housework; since I am useless at cooking and ironing, I do the cleaning, gardening and DIY. My spare time is mostly spent on the computer, listening to music, watching hi-fi and "playing" at gaining IT skills. I recently heard the definition of Parkinson's law (I forget...

    Is it wrong if you want to know a partners or potential partner's biological/original gender?

    I was thinking about how to answer your question; you'll have to excuse me for being naïve - I suppose that my personality type ( and age) have shielded me from much of the "world of transsexuals", but I smiled wryly when I thought that I could answer the question with the same answer that I...

    Death is probably permanent with no afterlife

    Hamlet by William Shakespeare: Act 1. Scene V To Quote Shakespeare, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. But come; Here, as before....." The purview of science can only reach as far as the ability of science to understand what is.....

    12 theories why creation is true.

    Are these your own theories/beliefs, or have you heard about them from other people?

    Can You have Complete Faith in God and Simultaneously Believe You Could Conceivably Be Wrong?

    Your question spurred me into thinking about the difference between faith and belief; I looked up a random definition on: -http://forums.philosophyforums.com/threads/faith-and-belief-51736.html (which may or may not be a good definition of the two words) - but it seems to "work" for me...

    A.a.a.d.d.- know the symptoms!

    A.A.A.D.D.- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS! Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests: I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward...

    Is the life you're living now what you dreamt it would be as a child?

    I would never have imagined myself as being married, with two sons and grandchildren........

    Now that "traditional" marriage is no longer defended

    They won't bother to marry, and live "in sin";)

    Can free will exist in the same Universe as true prophecies and a God that knows the future?

    If God (if you accept that there is one) knows the future - and he could know all the potential futures depending on the choices made by individuals at each turn, yes... He (God) would make a great chess player if that is the case!:bow:

    From where does lack of respect come?

    Walking down the main road today, I noticed the quantity of empty (alas!) beer cans, broken bottles, semi empty pizza boxes, McDonalds boxes, strewn over the pavements.. What really offends me are the broken bottles - it is as if no one cares for the damage they might cause to pets - or...

    Hello Friends!

    last December, I was taken into hospital with severe anaemia and kidney failure; I am at stage 4 CKD, just off from dialysis.. I don't actually feel that ill; I am often very short of breath, have dreadful itching, very high blood pressure (even the medication seems unable to regulate that)...
