He does. He preaches abstinence until marriage.Originally posted by Zakath
If folks like Childress really want to do something useful why don't they teach the women to stop having unprotected sex and then using tax-payer funded abortion clinics as a form of birth control. :thumb:
That's a start, but so does every Roman Catholic church, many Southern Baptist churches, and many independent bible churches in America... We're still waiting to see the results make much of a difference...Originally posted by Jefferson

Yep, it's pretty difficult to make a dent with the entire culture teaching the opposite.Originally posted by Zakath

I was given to understand that with God, all things are possible...

Who says God is omnipotent? Certainly not me. I believe God is only able to do anything that is doable and which would not violate His nature. Taking away man's free-will to do good or evil would violate God's nature.Originally posted by Gerald

Do you wish that God made you a robot with no free will?Originally posted by Zakath

No, but since we're "wishing" here, I wish your deity would protect children from the destruction of evil. That might be a significant demonstration of his existence... :think:Originally posted by Jefferson

You're contradicting yourself. You don't wish to be a robot but the only way God can protect children from the evil things people do to them is by turning those evil people into "good" robots.Originally posted by Zakath

Now did I say that or is that the only possible way you can think that the omnipotent creator of all the universe might protect children?You don't wish to be a robot but the only way God can protect children from the evil things people do to them is by turning those evil people into "good" robots.
