Re: Christians: Beware of Mitt Romney!
It's not a book of Satan; it is a book of MAN. Murray, Anyone who knows Scripture also knows that the Bible warns against false prophets and those who would deceive with "strange doctrines." Scripture is filled with many warnings about false prophets (Matthew 24:11, 24; 2 Corinthians 11:4...

Re: Christians: Beware of Mitt Romney!
Murray, lots of people share the same things Christians do but that doesn't make them Christians. Even the most vile tyrants and dictators as well as atheists and agnostics love their children and often show kindnesses to those they like - but these good deeds do not make them Christians. Make no mi...

Re: Christians: Beware of Mitt Romney!
would a "true" Christian do that? Would he compromise his faith, so to speak, just for the presidency? Well, I would hope not. Certainly many would. But in your cynicism - and certainly I share it to a degree - wouldn't you agree that SOMEONE has to lead. Our democracy has strong Christia...

Re: Presidential Election 2012
Obama is out..... Well, that looks quite possible, but the keys are going to be will the disenfranchised independents abandon him in sufficient numbers (looks like it) and will those who traditionally oppose Republicans be motivated enough to come out to the polls in large numbers (that's questiona...

Re: Christians: Beware of Mitt Romney!
One must look at where one places his/her faith in - the biblical Jesus or in Government - or in self or in self works.... ABSOLUTELY true! Government will NEVER truly deliver us from earth's problems and is certainly not our hope for the future, here or in eternity (GOD is!). But God DOES give us ...

Re: Christians: Beware of Mitt Romney!
It appears my post has devolved into issues only on the periphery, but that are mostly NOT addressing my assertion: that a man's faith IS important when considering his candidacy for president, and that a man of a non-Christian faith has a much greater propensity of being deceived and/or deceptive h...

Christians: Beware of Mitt Romney!
I'll just weigh in briefly on Mitt Romney, a man I see that is smart, looks and sounds presidential, has a solid business and leadership background, and is (relatively) conservative. A lot about this man looks like he might make a good president. But as a Christian, I would never vote for him. For o...

Re: Skeptics Question: So what about those without the Gospe
1over137, yes, the real question for one faced with the questions surrounding Christianity (as they clearly are at least peripherally aware of the basic teachings of the Bible/its claims about Christ) is "What do YOU say about the Bible's commands about repentance and belief in Jesus: (per Roma...

Re: Skeptics Question: So what about those without the Gospe
And I remember wondering (during the last presidential election) how many Christians ever pray for "God's candidates to win" instead of the ones they PERSONALLY desire. I mean, just as Romans 13:1-2 reveals, God sure puts a lot of people in office and authority that often seems unthinkable...

Re: Skeptics Question: So what about those without the Gospe
Hello, Furstentum Liechtenstein. I conclude my assertions from what the Bible says about how God has placed men in history and how He also controls its very outcome. Also, I look at history itself. Perhaps I am overreaching or speculative, but I believe in general what I am saying makes sense. First...

Re: Skeptics Question: So what about those without the Gospe
I'll comment just a bit further upon the fact that God has MERCIFULLY placed all men in their specific geographic places and times: By "clustering" together heathen peoples - those who God foreknew would stubbornly remain unrepentant and rebellious - not to mention how He "sprinkled&...

What's the fate of ones who died and never heard of Jesus?
What about those who never had access to the Gospel or never heard of Jesus? More specifically, if the Gospel and knowledge of Jesus is necessary for salvation - and God truly wants to save "ALL" persons - then why did He withhold this knowledge from so many millions? Sorry in advance for...

Re: Gotquestions.org inconsistent?
I must admit that gotquestions.org perplexes me as well. So much of their content is scriptural and informative, and I hope the problems there will be resolved. About two years back, I had corresponded with gotquestions over an article on their site that I asserted had many deficiencies. As they lik...

Re: Homosexuality is not a sin
I believe that not everything in the Bible is innately correct To believe that much of or large portions of the Bible are incorrect is to also believe that God could create our extraordinary universe and literally speak uncountable species and their dependent physics and chemistries into existence,...

Re: SO JUST WHAT WAS GOD DOING IN ETERNITY PAST?
eric246, I quite agree, that IF God has created other beings or civilizations, it apparently is not necessary or relevant for us to know about them. My first guess would be that IF they exist (I'm agnostic on that) they are either dimensionally inaccessible or so physically remote that it is impossi...
