Quote# 31984

Where is the damn solid evidence for Darwinian macroevolution? All I have ever heard and read is marginal evidence and lots of supposition along with a non or atheistic worldview that specifically rules out the possibility of considering the existence of God. Science cannot imply God? Complexity cannot imply God? To you people, it cannot because evolution is true. Since evolution is true, complexity is due to evolution a priori. Tautological, completely.

Whenever a theory such as irreducible complexity is brought forth that might lend credence to the argument that you all so despise–the very NOTION of the existence of God–then research is done with the goal in mind (implicit or explicit) of finding an explanation that fits within evolutionary theory. Peer review rules out the possibility of even considering any outside-the-box thinking. Toe the pseudoscientific philosophical line or be ridiculed and marginalized.

(About the Flying Spaghetti Monster)

…u…serious? Ur LYING to everyone! Ur CONDEMNING them. And for what? U think ur COOL making up ur own “RELIGION”. Ur ridiculous. Ur IGNORANT. I will eat ur good for nothing spaghetti monster. Then I’ll be ur idle to worship. Ignorant. I’d smack u if that came about. Oh how I wish I could drive to u. Take all ur pasta away. Then! Just maybe, then, u could make up the swimming unicorn of wonder. I’m a Christian. And being a Christian doesn’t make me perfect. I am holding myself back from cursing at u. That’s pointless. Ur a fool. And u’ll burn in hell for being a fool. I hope, one day, u make the right decision.

FEBRUARY 17--This country, as you know, is filled with the deranged. And then there's Travis Frey, a 33-year-old Iowa man who is facing charges that he tried to kidnap his own wife (not to mention a separate child pornography rap). Frey, prosecutors contend, apparently is a rather demanding guy. In fact, he actually drew up a bizarre four-page marriage document--a "Contract of Wifely Expectations"--that sought to establish guidelines for his spouse in terms of hygiene, clothing, and sexual activities. In return for fulfilling certain requirements, Frey (pictured right) offered "Good Behavior Days," or GBDs. Each GBD, Frey wrote, could be redeemed by his wife to "get out of doing the things" he requested daily. A copy of the proposed contract, which Frey's wife never signed and later provided to cops, can be found below. While we normally point out the highlights of most documents, there are so many in this demented, and very graphic, contract, we really can't do it justice. So set aside ten minutes--and prepare to be repulsed.

Quote# 31972

Our nation's schools have been emancipated from absolute standards by ignoring our Creator God. Our youth are taught that we, by chance, evolved from primordial soup. They are simply re-arranged pond scum, with no real worth to the world, no purpose, no hope, and no meaning what-so-ever! Is it any wonder that suicide is one of the leading causes of death among teens? Our youth are acting consistently with what they have been taught.

According to the Evolution belief system, human life has no more meaning than a blade of grass. We mow our lawns, so why not mow down our fellow man -- what's the difference? Hitler applied the same evolutionary logic to the people of Europe. We rid our homes of unwanted vermin, why not rid the world of unwanted humans -- what's the difference? This atheistic/evolutionary philosophy of our day is the logical foundation and justification for this "cruel" behavior because there are no moral absolutes.

What is the solution? What can we do? We must expose evolution as the pseudo-science it is, teaching our children that they are not a conglomeration of random chance accidents, but rather are created in the very image of God. Then we must teach our children that there are moral standards we abide by set by our Creator God.

Quote# 31980

Barrenness is a punishment from God, like childbirth pain is. ( For anyone that doesn't beleive me, go study the Torah, it is in there. Jesus never changed this punishment, like he never changed child birth pain and it still applies). No woman has a right to go over God's head on this subject. Barren women are not supposed to raise children. The adoption system in the United States abuses and punishes innocent babies and uses and does not forgive single mothers while treating and spoiling women who God has punished like queens. The reason for this is typical American. Money. Closed adoption records, sealed birth records and denying us our God given right to see our real parents names on our birth certificates is abuse in it's highest form. Millions of people agree with me. Here are some signatures from the Abolish Adoption Petition:

Btw, this BOARD IS A SUPPORT BOARD FOR ADOPTEES LIKE ME AND BIRTH MOTHERS. ALL TROLLS WILL BE REPORTED FOR ABUSE.

God went to work for me!

This is going to sound confusing, but the end result is praise!

My job can be stressful, confusing at times, i cant go into much detail about it, it would take to long.... but months ago my company had me do billing... i hated it, my stomch hurt, i cried all day... it was a mess.... the next day my report came out and i had really messed up my files... i prayed Lord dont ever give me that again!

For months i never did that again... till yesturday! Well i knew 2 hours ahead i was about to do it, so i prayed.." Lord please go to work for me today, you do the job" where before i prayed for him to take it away.... this time i asked Him to do it for me.....

Well i went to work on the billing, i kept hearing in my head, DONT RUSH, there was a couple of times i thought, well that was a mistake ill hear about tomarrow! but kept going, saying God you do it!

well this morning i see the report.... last time i did it it was a mile long of mistakes... this time only 3.... i knew that was the few times i tried to think for myself and messed up instead of just letting go and letting God.

I know to some this may sound stupid... but you just dont know how this job did me the first time i did it... i was a mess, like you told me someone died, in hystaerics.... yesturday i knew God was in control!

Today im doing billing again... and feel great about it... im not scared of it at all... because i know... God is in control!

Well, people keep VOTING these people into office that ADVOCATE abortion for any reason for any time.

When these abortion advocates get into office, those that voted them in either cheer them on, say nothing about THAT topic or wring their hands hoping they don't promote it. Instead they want them to focus on more socialism - in essence socialism, $$$$ has become more important than an innocent human life. Conveniently they want to see "Jesus" as the ultimate socialist - forget about what He'd think about abortion ... it's the $$$$ that are more important.

On the flip side, these same folks will want you to shell out thousands of dollars to house and care for absolute monsters that are guilty beyond any reasonable doubt - just so they don't get capital punishment. And they feel "righteous" and "superior" about protecting pure evil.

In short what's right is wrong and wrong is right.

Money is their idol - not Jesus and His teachings. And don't you dare be critical of their hypocrisy or misguided humanistic beliefs

Vashti was being disobedient to her husband. He wanted her to come and join in the feast, but she said no and made him look bad in front of all the people. They weren't having a drunken orgy, and we know that because the Bible says they were drinking according to the law, which means that any wine was not alcoholic.

[RE: a poster saying that if they had been raised in another religion they would likely believe in that religion.]

I've studied multiple religions in depth, on my own and at the college level: Islam, Atheism, Hinduism, Buddhism, New Age, Native Spirituality, etc... Christianity is the one that contains the Truth, because it is the one that points to Christ. The evidence lies with Him. So, to answer your question, I'd probably be Christian.

Satan's demons are literally trying to drive me mad or else kill me.

[...]

I teach both a college logic course and a college philosophy course, my freshmen and I have conversations along these lines quite often. You basically are asking me and everyone reading this to disregard the "rules" of knowledge, and also the basic tenets of philosophy. We start with the idea that there are certain things that can be said to be "known" and go from there. Hence, through gathering evidences and with these basic tenets in mind, I can say I know that Christ is Lord, and that God exists.

We can feel it, you can feel him coming. This is more than surreal, there are no words to describe it.

I am sorry but I'd write about Jesus forever if I could....I can't imagine not wanting to hear about him. I'm constantly focusing on him, it's not me literally I believe he continually is calling me to him.

(A portion of Richard DeVore's letter to Zion Oil and Gas, shortly before his resignation from that company)

IS ZION OIL PRIMARILY AN EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN CORPORATION? IS ZION OIL PRIMARILY A JEWISH ORGANIZATION? OR IS ZION 70% EVANGELICAL AND 30% JEWISH or THE OTHER WAY AROUND? IS ZION 50% EVANGELICAL AND 50% JEWISH? Some belief will dominate!… If the majority of Zion's Leadership is guilty of vacillating between Christianity and Judaism, then the Word of God states that we are guilty of "Syncretism"! The MIXING OF GOD'S WORD WITH OTHER RELIGIONS! THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE CALLS THIS REBELLION TOWARDS GOD! IF THIS IS TRUE ABOUT THE MAJORITY OF ZION'S LEADERSHIP, THE WORD OF GOD ALSO SAYS WE ARE BEING "DOUBLE MINDED".

Quote# 31976

I know that the Biblical principle is that a woman is to learn spiritual things off her husband, (who takes her to church so she can learn off the pastor too). I have been thinking about attending TBDI a lot, and I'm not sure it is right for me to do if my husband can't. The reason that I say this is that I would be learning things he didn't know, lots of them, and if he wanted to know about them I'd be teaching him. I don't have a problem with women knowing more than their husbands in certain areas, but I don't know if I think it is right if I end up knowing more about right doctrine than he does. What are everyone else's thoughts?

Because of 11-27-07, I'm finding it harder 'n' harder to plan ahead for earthly matters...such as making a lunch date with my best friend (a fellow sister-in-Christ), buying Christmas gifts, etc. Should we be taken sometime after the Annapolis Summit...it's all a case of wait 'n' see what lies ahead for us.

Plus, on TBN lots of our beloved host-speakers, such as: Hal Lindsey, the Van Impes, Joe VanKoervering, Grant Jeffrey, Perry Stone, John Hagee, etc. are all talking much more about the rapture.

And I've been experiencing a deep yearning for our precious Lord & Savior, Jesus, like I've never experienced before. Such as me feeling more 'n' more detached from this miserable old world and I wanna go home soon feeling, as tears well-up in my eyes. Have all of you also felt this same yearning too?

I'm just very anxious to get outta here!! It's already the middle of November, I'm dealing with my annual bout of holiday depression, and wondering why God is delaying the pouring out of His wrath on this wicked, disgusting world that we live in. Maybe I'm just so impatient because I'm depressed, but it sure would be nice if we were airlifted tonight!!!!

[commenting on Europe's ban on creationism in schools]

This is a strategic ploy to further spit on the Bible.

Europe and the great minds that came from there ALL believed the Bible was accurate.

Albert Einstein saw no conflict between science and religion. Like Galileo, Newton and other immortal greats of science before him, Einstein believed in GOD.

Aren't religion and politics supposed to be kept separate?

Impossible! Politics is the expression of religion. It is the outward working of the inward belief system.

The myth that religion and politics are to be separated is a lie fostered to protect official government religions, which pretend that they aren't religions.

Besides, Christianity isn't a religion.

[Directly After the Rapture]
This has got to be the most challenging event ever to face those charged with maintaining order in our society. The 24 hour missing person rule is the only reprieve anyone will get. Many roadways will be littered with accidents caused by out-of-control vehicles... vehicles without a driver. Young passengers are missing. Stranger still is the common thread of the missing drivers: a cross hanging from the mirror, a Bible in the car, a fish emblem on the back of the vehicle, and maybe even that silly bumper sticker that proclaims the warning "In case of the Rapture this vehicle will be un-manned". There just may be more truth in that statement than previously considered. Seat belts fastened with clothing arrayed as if the person just vaporized. For indeed, that is exactly what has happened.

Forensic experts would do well to examine closely the fibers of clothing in direct contact with skin, as they will likely exhibit evidence of exposure to extreme high-level electromagnetic radiation. The same principal that raised Christ from the dead in A.D. 30 is at work here in the event of the Rapture

Someone I have known for some years now told me today at work that he does not believe in the Word of God anymore. I was stunned and shocked because he had never made me wonder before because he had such a good Christian attitude.
He says he's been an athiest for years, but keeps it quiet because he says it freaks people out.

Well that's the truth, because it freaks me out that this person I know and trust doesn't believe! Please stand by me as I speak to Mike about the wonderful life he will be missing out on in glory!
