    Cain's wife...thoughts?

    no that's true bandit... like i said i wasn't posting with a bible at hand and those were just little notes as i was thinking. the eve part of the question is still interesting to me, and i personally believe it goes along the lines of what juan said, as i believe man's portion in the history of...

    Cain's wife...thoughts?

    thank you juan. i do not have time to go into now as i have work in fifteen minutes, but i will just say that you've pretty much hit on my own feelings on the matter with your post. as for the flood thing, that is new to me as i have not looked into it, but am glad you talked about it because it...

    Cain's wife...thoughts?

    man, i just can't seem to get away from genesis the past couple of days. i started reading through the old posts to make sure this wasn't brought up already, but i kept seeing too many old ones i wanted to read and reply to and i was already up until 5 this morning referencing the things that i...

    Sex, Marriage and Biblical Prohibition

    true... which i guess is why i said it was pointless. earlier in genesis, just before it begins discussing the specifics of adam's creation and just after telling us about how He rested, it does state that the earth was dry because it had not yet rained and man had not yet been made to till the...

    Sex, Marriage and Biblical Prohibition

    just ran across this thread... i know it's older but i thought i'd toss in my spare change, as a reply to another post drew me to genesis, and plenty of knowing takes place in genesis... this is in response to many little pieces of many little posts that i've read, so i won't quote each one...

    The Premortal Life

    agreed.... ...just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,... - Ephesians 1:4-5 NKJV we were known...

    it's amazing not only the connections, but also the evidence of those connections present in something as seemingly impersonal as forum posts, isn't it? although these aren't your typical forum threads... the church that my parents started was in west tokyo, where i spent most of my years, but...

    what did jesus say (and what not?)

    i think the welcomes are more as a seeker than as a believer in any faith in particular. one thing seems to hold true through most posts in this thread, people commend you for your yearning for knowledge and your search for the truth, not that you're a christian or will be a christian. whatever...

    Can you renouce power?

    perhaps that is why they did away with the old phone booths. figured if they narrowed the field a bit they could sit on the remaining ones and catch him as he transformed to go save the day. man, the media rules everything! ;)

    InLove, i appreciate your welcome, and have enjoyed reading many of your posts on these forums. to answer your questions, i was in fact a missionary kid, or mk. and no i was not a military brat, although i think that is still the going term for it. regardless, no harm no foul ;). my parents were...

    Altruism

    All talk of God aside, i can say that i have done things that were altruistic. when i give to someone who needs help i don't think of myself, although having thought the same way as you i often reflect on how it makes me feel after doing something. it's a conflict for me. does feeling good after...

    q you are in the military yes? and perhaps were there in a military capacity? these are just guesses, or assumptions, and we know what they say about assumptions, so correct me if i'm wrong because i know nothing about you. but if you were there in a military capacity, it is no surprise to me...

    Christians! Do you believe Mohammed's prophethood?

    however most christian leaders today do not claim to be prophets with a new truth. good point about jesus though bandit, i feel exactly the same way. as brian said, if we believed as muslims believed, we would in fact be muslims. although Islam recognizes Jesus as an historical figure, it...

    what did jesus say (and what not?)

    dayaa... two years ago i picked up a Qu'ran for the first time and the task of learning about Islam through this text seemed extremely daunting. but i had the help of some muslim friends who were able to guide me along and i've learned many things to broaden my horizons and have expanded my...
