Dear Kwame He did not say he would kill them, but he did say they would die. In either case I would assume that at that point in our existence, God would have...
Dear List While investigating some data for a post on this list I came across some rather interesting tables which might be of intrest to the group. The...
Dear List The name of the book the statistics are from is "World Amanac Book of Facts." In my younger days it was called "Information please.." I will get the...
Happy fathers' day. Many of you who read this will be fathers and you will be spending some or all of today with your children. This is a day to celebrate your...
In the light of modern scientific inquiry into the creation of the universe, how do you all, in the light of inspired Scripture, deal with the following?: 2...
Hi Misty My first thought is that people in the day of Peter lacked our current scientific knowledge and therefore could only describe cosmological concepts in...

Dear Misty A bit of background. "Water" was one of the believed "elements" in the ancient world of which everything in various combinations were composed. The...
Dear Misty Leaving the bit of mythopoeic ephemeratta behind I shall now proceed to what perhaps is the main intendment of your post. That is, "dealing" with it...
Indeed, one is inclined at first to try to make the apostle Peter's words in 2 Peter 3:5 out to be either metaphoric or imprecise. But the apostle Peter...
Said I: "(Moreover, Peter goes on to say in *3:6* that the waters he speaks of destroyed the world during the time of Noah.)" Noah is not mentioned by name,...
Last night I had an interesting experience blowing a shofar. In the Bible what was a shofar used for? Were they used to sound a war? Is the shofar the...
Dear List I sometimes feel I am singled out for a somewhat picaresque existence. I live 2 hours one way from my house, so I drive 4 hours a day. I had worked...
Dear List I was surprised no one noticed in the list of statistics I gave, or cared not to comment on it, that Christians worldwide are the largest by far...
Dear Michelle The shofar is a trumpet made of a rams horn which was blown for warning, summoning, and ritual purposes by the ancient Hebrews, and now sounded...
Dear List Sorry I did not post this early but I've been very busy and I didn't marshal all my thoughts for this. I was speaking of "mythopoeic" concepts and...
So what is another possible explanation of ascending to heaven Darryl? Curious, Andrea ... From: Darryl Ward To: apologetics@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday,...
You--an admitted Christian--were prepared to leave a woman alone in a broken down vehicle in "darkening gloom" when there was not a gas station around for...
Hi Andrea I can not explain something that only God understands and I by definition do not. So, please treat this as an analogy more than anything else. ...
What difference does it make that it was a woman? Statistics prove that most victims of violence are men. (Of course, feminazis will claim otherwise!) This man...
Universally speaking, "up" is above the earth--regardless of which part of the earth you happen to be on at the time the direction is discussed. Would you...
Personally, I've never heard anyone assert that Christians and pseudo- Christians are in the minority either in the U.S. or in the world. However, this is the...
Yes, but what direction is heaven? My point was the "ascension" is metaphorical, as they ancients had no concept of anything other than the physical realm. ...
The statistics sound resaonable. Roman Catholic Christians have always been more numerous than Protestant Christians. I also would suspect that there are more...

Dear Andrea Ummmm... Did you read the whole post? Apparently not! I stayed with her, went back to her car, had her get in and lock the door, then had her try...
Dear List Thanks to those who defended, me, and yes- I do stop for men and help them when broken down and always pick up hitchikers in inclement weather and...
Dear Darryl The media is always if not explicity saying Christians are a minority, implying such by emphasizing the 1.4 billion muslims and others, and how...
Dear Andrea You write "Universally speaking, "up" is above the earth--regardless of which part of the earth you happen to be on at the time the direction is...
Actually, Andrea more or less is correct. The criticisms of her viewpoint are similar to the armchair criticisms of movie viewers who think they are smarter...
