    Why Are Christian Churches Losing Men?

    I believe the reason that Christian churches are losing men is not something that just started, but rather a slow trend that was started many years ago. As the world and media has slowly added to the trend that the Bible is nothing more than an interesting book, religion has become something...

    Atheism: The Great Nothing!

    Atheism The belief that there was nothing and that nothing happened to nothing which made nothing explode thus creating everything from nothing for no reason, but then a bunch of everything rearranged itself for no reason into self-replicating bits that transformed into dinosaurs, but then the...

    Moses in Egypt

    Another way that you could look at this lack of evidence is the fact that Moses is a Hebrew name. The Egyptians would not have recorded a Hebrew name in their history. Still another possible solution to this lack is that Moses as part of the royal family would have been looked on as a...

    Christian: Should the Bible be read literally?

    While the basic ideas and even most of the words are the same, the differences are people's opinion. In many of the newer versions the old texts are translated and then added to according to what the translator believed.

    Are men shallow?

    You can also look at Cinderella in another way. You can look at it as Cinderella was not willing to go to the ball without the Makeover. Cinderella automatically assumed that the prince would not like her without the makeover.

    If you were God.......

    Because we are human we can only look at the small picture of the things that are immediately around us. As human beings we are selfish. No matter what I say I would do right now, if given control over the world I would make my own life better. The problem with that is whether I meant to or...

    Christian: Should the Bible be read literally?

    I agree with the fact that only the Holy Spirit can reveal the true meaning. When we decide the meaning of a passage based on our own thoughts it is influenced by our background and opinion and is inherently flawed by our human nature. It is only through the leading of the Holy Spirit that we...

    Christian: Should the Bible be read literally?

    Christian: Should the Bible be read literally?

    While the scriptures are polyvalent, the meaning is not. When taken in context there can only be one meaning interpreted from a verse. Application is subject the person reading. If all the scriptures can have more than one possible meaning how can we base any solid beliefs on what is...

    Christian: Should the Bible be read literally?

    I agree with you that we are removed from the text and that thus the interpretation is more difficult, but just a question. If we are so far separated from these texts what makes us think that the people writing these interpretation helps understand any better. Who are we, two-thousand years...
