hey, he's the guy (according to 2A) who says that checking a girl out is equally sinful as killing 50 people and making soup from their toes.



Evolution never said that if you don't follow its rules you'll spend eternity in hell. Also, evolution is a process .... it's not like I'm praying to it at the table to bless my food or anything.



I'm saying that the majority of the world believes in some form of god, and each person thinks they have it right. Since they all think they have it right, there is no way for a child to really know short of god coming down and telling him to his face (which he doesn't do). What if you were born in some other country where your parents worshiped a different god .... would you believe the way you do now in your god?

yes He is the God and He has determined all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory.

Evolution... praying to a table... Evolution is a process, not about philosophical or religious faith ... but since it is written by man when it turns "old" you can't believe it anymore based on your logic.

God's grace calls us out - God is not limited by man's surroundings. He calls men and women to Him. He's been calling you and the answering machine keeps picking up. Would I believe if different circumstances? Since God reveals Himself, and if He chose to reveal Himself to me then yes - just maybe not in the same 'religious (practice which does not equate salvation) - tradition. God is greater than man-made religion. God Is, Jesus Is, and so IS. (my faith of course, not saying you have to believe.)

Have a great Christmas holiday weekend.

so you agree with 2A that checking out a girl is as bad as killing her?

you have missed my point. That isn't even close to what I said.

Okay.. I will answer this and then get on the road.

Muslim and Jewish faith will openly tell you they disagree with my faith. Am I bothered they believe differently? No. Each person has to decide for themselves. I can only share what I believe (like they share their faith.) I don't hate other religions, but I'm not going to sit here and say I agree with them either, any more than they would say they agree with me.

I am not claiming "validness" for others. I believe. I believe my faith is valid to me. I am thankful for what I believe and continue to grow each day in my belief. If others want to share in the grace given me, great. If they reject it, dispute it, or even dismiss it - it doesn't change my conviction or certitude.

i'll check back later... gotta go.
