       Yes, I am saved from sin and death because of Jesus Christ.

   

       I do think that porn is bad and abortion should be strongly discouraged and that there should be more discipline in the family regarding extra-marital and pre-marital sex. If the girl was raped, that's a different story because it wasn't her decision to have sex, and therefore, the baby should be allowed to live and be taken care of by the family or parents of the girl. Either way, the baby should be allowed to live.

   

       Well, I don't know if the world was created in exactly 7, 24-hour periods. It says somwhere in 2 Peter that in God's eyes a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day. That is a way of saying that God dwells outside of space and time. He could have broken down the time taken to create the world into language that the common person of Moses' day could understand, like using the term, a day. Using, let's say, 12,543 years, as the time it took to create the world and everything in it would be arbitrary for an Israelite to know or to keep records by. I don't think that humans have lived for millions of years because it takes much less time for human society to develop enough technologically in order to have the capacity to destroy itself. The Bible does say that the armies of the world are going to come together to fight against Christ and be destroyed in the end-times. On the other hand, I don't believe that man evolved from apes either. That seems a little out of the question because man hasn't evolved one iota over the last 4,000 years of recorded history, so how could mankind have evolved from a completely different life form in only several thousand years.

   

       No, I wouldn't restore prayer in the public schools. Let the kids pray when or if they want to.

   

        I hope that Jesus returns very soon, but the Bible says that the Lord is patient and doesn't wish that anyone perish. So that means it could take many more years. Or, I could be wrong and it could just be a few days from now. It seems that it could happen pretty soon because Israel is already a self-governing nation again, which fulfills Bible prophecy, and we already have the weapons to destroy our planet, much like the imagery we see in the book of Revelation. And, for the first time in history, there's a recently created movement to bring all of the religions of the world into one super-religion, and to bring all of the countries' economies together into one global economy, much like what we see in Revelation 18 and 19.

   

       Yes, the cops should watch and crack down on sexual predators, and perversion should be dealt by the individual and family.

  Thank  you so much for responding to my post Blueangel7….

  Now, let me respond to your scholarly  insights and observations.

   

  Yes, I am saved from sin and death because of Jesus Christ.

  Praise the Lord for that!

   

       I do think that porn is bad and abortion should be strongly discouraged and that there should be more discipline in the family regarding extra-marital and pre-marital sex. If the girl was raped, that's a different story because it wasn't her decision to have sex, and therefore, the baby should be allowed to live and be taken care of by the family or parents of the girl. Either way, the baby should be allowed to live.

  I pretty much agree, but I insist that abortion and porn should both be prohibited by law!

  This whole statement…Especially the insight you glean from 2 Peter  shows me that you are a studious bible reader…

  As long as you oppose evolution, I’m with you on this point!  

   

       No, I wouldn't restore prayer in the public schools. Let the kids pray when or if they want to.

  Every constitutional amendment Congress has proposed to restore prayer to the public schools ,always has a clause guaranteeing , that said prayers must be voluntary!

  So, would you support voluntary school prayer?

  My sentiments on the second coming are quite similar  to yours.

       Yes, the cops should watch and crack down on sexual predators, and perversion should be dealt by the individual and family.

   

  AMEN TO THAT, MY BROTHER (OR SISTER) IN CHRIST!

  I ain't saved, I don't need to be saved and nor does anyone else simply because there is no such thing as 'Sin'. Tell me my friend... have you got a brain and if you have, do you ever use it? ... How can Adam & Eve have committed the so-called 'Original Sin' when before they ate the apple they had no knowledge of good and evil? You cannot sin if you do not know what sin is. So clearly there was no original sin which kind of makes a nonsense of religion seeing as many religions originate from the old testament. No original sin also means that there was no need for Jesus to die & forgive our sins.

• LENNY said on Jul 14, 2008....

  Look, Madstorm....

   

  The sin of Adam & Eve was disobedience to God.

   

  God told them not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and they listened to the serpent (Satan) and did it anyway!

   

  THAT WAS SIN!   The very first sin, as a matter of fact...

   

  And, since both Adam & Eve knew and understood what God was telling them when they ate of that fruit, your whole argument that they didn't know what good and evil was -----and hence ,were incapable of sin----- doesn't hold water!

   

  For "evil" (or sin) is simply doing ANYTHING which God commands us not too!

   

  CASE CLOSED!

   

  I will pray that you find Jesus Madstorm; otherwise, it is going to be the lake of fire for you on judgment day!

  You really do have the Bible stuck up your ass don't you LENNY... God formed man from dust and breathed life into him right? so when Jesus died God could form him again anytime he likes... As the son of God jesus was immortal right? so he cannot die. So the so-called sacrifice of Jesus was no sacrifice at all. And what happened to all the souls before Christ came to save us all? the Earth is more than two thousand years old... are you saying only in the two thousand years after Christ was there any chance of peoples so-called souls being saved? ... there are many more contradictions in the Bible but you dare not think for yourself because then you will have unanswerable questions so instead you spout out bullshit to other people... typical religious freak... doesn't matter if it's a Muslim, Jew or Christian... it's the same shit, different flies...

   

  Carry on my friend... see where it gets you...

• madstorm said on Jul 15, 2008....

  And by the way LENNY... how do you reconcile the message of Peace & good-will to all spoken by Jesus with your putrid message of hate?

  Good old George Carlin...
