    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    Because ducks quack, Marke! If you do not use anything other than the KJV and you think that every other translation of the bible, even those that aren't in English, are inferior to the KJV because the KJV is the result of God preserving His word on Earth and no other bible can make that claim...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    You could have just said, "Yes, I'm a KJV-onlyist". It isn't required that you agree with every syllable that every other KJV-onlyist says.

    What is Money?

    Have you ever read Atlas Shrugged? If so, I'd be curious to know how you'd respond to Francisco d'Anconia's money speech and how you'd square what he says with 1 Timothy 6:10. If you've not read or heard the speech, you can read it HERE. In fact, you should read the whole of Atlas Shrugged or...

    What is Money?

    The right to life is one of my favorite topics! The right to life is the basis and source for all other rights. Nobody I know of ever said it better than Ayn Rand (of all people)... A “right” is a moral principle defining and sanctioning a man’s freedom of action in a social context. There is...

    Fasting thread

    I love the dark rice at Chipotle! It has lemon and cilantro and it doesn't stick together and its just the best rice I've ever eaten. I can't stand eating inside the Chipotle restaurant though. They're always playing weird hippy music in there. I can't take it. I go eat it while sitting in my...

    I bet you've lost five pounds already! It takes about 18 hours or so to enter ketosis (i.e. that means zero calories taken in for 18 hours) so when you eat only one meal a day, you enter ketosis for short time every day. Ketosis is basically when your body has switched from burning carbs to...

    Fasting thread

    About 8 weeks. It would have been much faster had I tried harder but I figure I'm going to stick with it longer if I just sort of take it easy. Basically, I eat what I want when I want. The only thing that's changed is the "when I want" part. Some days I feel like skipping a meal, other days I...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    God's plans have been thwarted many times! What are you even talking about? You don't get ten pages into the bible before that train leaves the station! Ever heard of Eden? Ever heard of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? Well, it probably wasn't Jesus as much as it was the Father...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    Well, you got that right! I certainly can and I will, which was the entire point of what I said. Who cares? That wasn't the point! Are you really this stupid? Let me explain the totally obvious point of mentioning Tyndale.... William Tyndale is widely credited with being the first guy to...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    Okay, wow! It's official. I can no longer remember a time when anyone on TOL ever changed their mind about anything, no matter what anyone said or how they said it.

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    I've been fascinated by the whole topic of paradigm shifts for quite a while. It turns out that our brains are sort of wired to resist paradigm shifts and people who accept them usually aren't aware that they are on a course that will lead to such a shift until it actually happens. This is why...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    Well, except for the answer, "The ministry of the Twelve changed when Israel was cut off.", which is the only rationally consistent answer anyone could give. I met a Baptist pastor one time that really did believe that Paul was the rightful replacement of Judas. His whole argument was to point...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    All points made that suggest that you know how to translate the bible better than every person who has ever translated the bible into English since William Tyndale will be ignored. This is unresponsive and attempts to redirect the issue by simply recasting it from within your paradigm. In...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    Care to make even the slightest attempt to show me even one single example of poor grammar in scripture? NO! Typos are mistakes. What you're doing is no mistake. You are INTENTIONALLY insisting on using flagrantly poor grammar FOR NO GOOD REASON! At this point it isn't even about the grammar...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    Like falsely accusing someone of trying to get you banned with no evidence whatsoever, is that the sort of graciousness you're looking for? May God bless you, according to your actions.

    Is death just another life?

    Matthew 6:24 is hyperbole. "Cannot" does not mean "completely incapable of doing". It's analogous to when Paul states that "all Israel will be saved". "All" does not mean "every single one". In fact, in that context, it just means "a significant portion". It's a common figure of speech that...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    So, your point is that you know how to translate New Testament Greek better than those who translated every known English bible in existence? Is that really the point you want to try to make? Let me just tell you, no, you do not know New Testament Greek sufficiently to make any such argument...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    It isn't scripure's grammer that poor, its yours! You are the one insisting on using what you've been repeatedly and accurately told is a double negative and its been explained to you, in I'd don't know how many ways, why its confusing/misleading/wrong, and yet you stubbornly persist in its use...

    Is death just another life?

    Here's a hint, Hoping... Simply contradicting someone isn't what the word "refuting" means in the context of a debate forum. In the context of debating something, to refute something is to demonstrate (i.e. prove) that something is false. You've refuted nothing. Nothing whatsoever. You've...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    Standing ground on poor grammar is stupidity in action.
