Hey Sherry, Lyn: just to sidetrack for a moment RE your quoted scripture of 'answer not a fool according to his folly'; the very next verse says 'ANSWER a fool according to his folly'. I was confused about this until my father explained it to me, that there are two different words for two different kinds of fool. The first, which we are told NOT to answer, is a scorning fool; the second, which we are told to answer, is a simple fool, one who can learn. Just thought I'd add my two bobs' worth on that one |

Unfortunately, the churches in Australia have just the same kind of dead religiousity as the ones in America. It's either very important to be seen to be doing the right thing, or in the other extreme, very important not to be judgemental of those things tha God clearly denounces in His word. They can quite often talk the right talk, but they don't walk the right walk. I find I can't be too critical here, though, since it's much easier to talk than to do for me as well. BTW, I think Christ has already won  But I'm really looking forward to the time when He comes again. The world is a pretty nasty place sometimes. |

BTW Sherry, putting aside the fact that none of the presidential candidates seem to be any better than the others, who do you think is most likely to win in the end? Actually, we don't really have much better choices in Australia. It's enough to make me want to go into politics myself |

Wayne, RE your advice to Sherry to start loving herself, I'm sure she would be the first to tell you, as I do about myself, that there is absolutely nothing lovely about any one of us. God did not save us because we are loely, He saved us because He is lovely. I don't want to love myself, I want to love God: 'I know that in myself nothing good dwells' as per Paul. I used to love myself, and it prevented me loving God. When He showed me what I really am, and how little worth loving I am, I fell on my knees in understanding of the full grace and salvation of God. I don't ever want to live in such deception again. I want to love God, because He loves me, and that's enough. |

That's okay, Wayne; I've got my security blanket and a cup of hot chocolate with me for the insecurity
Seriously, though; I would not vote for Obama if he were an Australian candidate. As it is, as American president he would have far too much say over Australia for my liking, since Australia seems to follow America's political lead in most things. As for Rick Warren, I think him a very dangerous man, and one who has done as much damage to the name 'christian' as the Pope. Both decieve and are decieved, offering salvation that can never save, one through easy-believism and the other through the comfort of personal works. |

Sorry Wayne, but Sherry isn't the only one to notice it. I notice that whenever someone disagrees with you, you immediately trot out your theological training and seem to imply that everyone else is less able to understand the Bible than you because of it. My theological training is by the Spirit of God, who exhorts, rebukes, and chastens. I don't mean to put you down in any way, but I would like to point out that Sherry isn't alone in noticing, and certainly hasn't been the only one to comment upon it.
If you are a brother, I'm happy to greet you in Christ |

Nup, it's goose bumps here as well Funny, I always thought in America that it was referred to as goose pimples or goose flesh I guess that's enough off the subject for me, so I'll pipe down now! BTW, I'm trying to study both Hebrew and Greek at home, but I've found in the mean time that you can do an incredibly in depth Bible study just with a Hebrew/Greek/English interlinear Bible and a concordance. It's taken me weeks just to do the first two verses o Rmans 1. The nuances in the greek seem to be many and more subtle than in the English. I can reccommend this to anyone, it's great fun, and very enlightening.  |

Michael, I don't think I'll ever have faith enough to measure up with what I should have because of God's graciousness to me. With all He's done for me and all His kindness towards me I should be out moving mountains by this time Unfortunately, I still have yet to conquer the mole-hills. I trst God will still make me to grow in faith since it was He who gave me the faith to trust in His Son |

I am none of these. Up until I was seventeen my family most regularly attended a Baptist church, and we called ourselves baptists; but we moved a lot, and the Baptist churches in some areas we moved to were not scripturally sound. I have attended Brethren and presbyterian churches over the years, and now currently attend a presbyterian church. My doctrine doesn't really hold in all points to either of the denominations, either; because I hold to the TULIP doctrine, as many baptists do not, and I believe adult baptism is the correct form, as most prebyterians do not. I have tried to learn my doctrine from studying the bible and not from my church's creed. Obviously I haven't got the monopoly on wisdom, but I hope God has allowed me a share of light. |

Will, those links I followed showed a basic lack of knowledge of science. Yes complex molecules can be formed under the influence of energy, but the building blocks must BE THERE TO START WITH. I do know the meaning of information- do you? Read Werner Gitt's book 'In the Beginning was Information' And I also know that from nothing comes- nothing. The notes erroneously says that "If a new arrangement occurs, whether spontaneously or from the outside, new information is assembled in the process." That is not true, simply because the pieces used to make a new arrangement ARE the information, not the new arrangement of the information. The new arrangement of the information is just a new way of expressing the information. Those notes also claim that "Nothing needs to assemble itself" and I'm sorry, but that's exactly what evolutionists do claim. In YOUR beginning, with nothing but the simplest of cells, things definitely needed to arrange themselves. If you're thinking energy from the sun, don't. Ask the scientists- raw enery destroys, it doesn't arrange. And with all the possible arrangements you can get of that one cell, you will still need NEW INFORMATION(ie, little bits)to form anything else! You can't stretch a drop of jam to cover a whole loaf of bread. |

For Michael
Hello brother, I've been reading your posts on other questioins and news articles and have been very much blessed as I haven't been since the likes of BA and UK John went away. You aregue reasonedly without insulting and I find that very refreshing. I think you and I perhaps don't agree on the predestination issue though, going from one of your posts on lazarus! Never mind, I won't start that on this thread |
