It is the same God who created the natural world, who is also in control of the supernatural world. If we only believed what we understood, I would never get on an aeroplane. Even scientists are limited in their understanding of the laws that govern nature. And what are the natural laws that...

Two things I do before going to work: I make myself look presentable, and I eat. These two activities involve a whole lot of little procedures. Love God and love your neighbour involves numerous practical activities set out in the pages of the NT - you can call them laws, or commandments, or...

Nature is simply the creative action of God. We understand some of His physical laws, although not all of them. Scientists are still juggling the discrepancy between general relativity and quantum mechanics. The atoms you are composed of are eternal - they came into existence billions of years...

Science does not exclude the possibility of the supernatural. String theorists posit extra dimensions and parallel universes ... only they wouldn't use the term supernatural. Although they claim mathematical validation, other physicists still regard their notions as philosophy. Nearly all of...

My early 15th century history is a bit shaky, but I think Joan was defending France against an unjustified occupation by England. Although I do not recognize the Catholic concept of saints (the church burnt her and then the church canonized her ... go figure) I regard Joan as a prophetess...

I believe that God reveals Himself in nature, as this verse of Scripture says: Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of Him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, Even His eternal power and Godhead; so they are without excuse: Jesus...

Thank you, prayers are always appreciated. Most likely, I would also get out my Bible, but my wife wouldn't ... she would simply share her testimony from her own experiences ... if the other person wanted to know more, she would then take her to another who could help. I guess that just...

That's the way we should all feel. I'm certainly not against going to church, but when it is a ritual rather than a personal faith experience, I think it needs to be challenged. Glad to hear you have an anointed preacher.

For most of us, the ones we will witness to are family, friends, neighbours, and work colleagues. All of these know us pretty well ... so if we talk the talk, we'd better walk the walk. While it is true that most people in Western countries have heard about Jesus Christ, I find that most do...

Hey, steady on Q, this is not a political thread you know ... besides, I'm on your side ;)

Re: Babylon the great Babylon is also the woman of Rev 17 - she is described as a whore. When I say that I believe it is the RC church, I will be accused of being anti-Catholic, but that is not correct - I know that there are many, many genuine Christians in the Catholic church. This woman is...

Thanks for that site, Dor, I hadn't come across that one before. Two of my favourites are: http://www.searchgodsword.org http://www.biblegateway.com

I'm not able to divorce my Christian experience from real life issues.

certainly agree with that When we say these are questions that should be left up to the individual, not the state, we have to consider that state money is nearly always involved in these procedures, eg President Bush vetoed the use of federal funds to support embryonic stem cell research...

Re: Babylon the great past? present? future?

Do you think Christians have the right (responsibilty?) to try to impose these standards on society in general, through legislative means? I am referring specifically to euthanasia, abortion and therapeutic cloning.

Yes, indeed, a most important point. Are there any ways in which a Christian is different to a "good person" ... in the sense of "personal actions day to day"?

Ultimately, whether one believes that the Bible is corrupted, or it is the infallible, inerrant Word of God, is a matter of personal faith. I am among the latter. What can be disputed, however, is whether the Bible contains contradictions, or whether the teachings of Scripture have been...

So true - thank you for reminding me ... strangely, the song "Do You Know Grace" (Younce Brothers) is playing in the background as I type.

Rather than "opposite", I see that as a corollary. "... just as guilty"? Aren't Christians the ones with the mandate to love our neighbour? .
