I believe the Bibles I read today, are the Bibles God intends me to read. The NIV and the Catholic NRSV versions. I take the first sentence in the Bible to be an absolute truth, 'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth. The rest of the Bible is a life time journey trying to...

We are all created by the same God, the same God hears all our prayers, despite our differences. Justice should the same for all people.

Faith for me, is very much about putting my trust in God. Like St Peter, when he saw Jesus walking on water, he wanted to walk on water to meet Jesus. Peter had to do two things, take the first step out of the safety of the boat. When Peter stood on the water, his own strength meant nothing, he...

Agreed, I did say happily married couples, have little reason to have an abortion. Meaning, there can still be reasons, but not so many.

When a couple are happily married, and they plan children, there is probably little reason to have an abortion. Sadly, when a child gets to fifteen in the UK, about half of them are not with both their biological parents. I often hear the expression, 'baby mum'. It seems that both men and women...

Jesus prayed, that we should be 'one', in the same way he is one with the Father. The Trinity is about relationships, how we should love God, and love all our neighbours as we love ourselves.

I met a man who had been homeless for a couple of years, he carried his home in a few bags. He said, every night when I find somewhere to sleep, I reflect on my day, and find several things to thank God for. Food and drink, somewhere to wash, clean his clothes, people speaking to him. I found...

Love is sacrificial. The greatest commandments have been described as putting God first, our neighbours next and self last. Not an easy thing to do in this world today. I am not sure you can have peace without Justice. If you could draw a line today, and list every outstanding injustice in the...

The greatest good God, can there be a God who loves us as he loves himself? There can only be one God, no matter what name we call him by, this cannot change who God is

Agreed, but as we are on interfaith forum.... The Jews are God's chosen people. Christians are first chosen by Christ. In Islam, Allah chooses whom he wills. There is only the 'One God', so it seems the same God chooses each of us through a different path. Sorry, not sure about any other...

The golden rule in Christianity is to love God, and to love all our neighbours as we love ourselves. This is sacrificial, we put God first, our neighbours second and ourself last. If we truly wanted to lift our brothers and sisters out of grinding poverty and starvation, we can only do this by...

But if you lived in a shack in the woods in the US, with no running water, no electric, gas or wifi, and grew your own food, you could live on less than you are living on now. This is the lifestyle thrust on hundreds of millions of people, who go to bed hungry at night.

If you are lucky enough to earn more than £10,000 per year in the UK, that puts you amongst the top 16%, of the richest people on Earth. Your income is more than 4 times the global median. The median average salary for all workers in the UK is £27,756. If you are interested, you can see how...

You haven't answered my question, because you can't. It is incredible that you choose not to question your own beliefs in science, you just say, natural selection did it. Not good enough.

Mathematically, how could evolution happen without God? 3.8 billion years ago, single cell life emerged, it existed for around 1.5 billion years. A generation could be measured in hours or days. Possibly, billion or trillions of generations remained single, That should make single cell life...

We have life today, so life started somehow. If you can prove abiogenesis, there is still $10 million up for grabs. https://www.herox.com/evolution2.0

Sounds like science fiction to me, minus the logic. Arguments mean there is no evidence. There is no evidence for the creation of the universe and life by natural causes. Something either had no beginning, or something did not come from anything. Now apply this logic to a natural cause.

Sorry, I can't watch 47 minutes of Dawkins, I have heard his rants before. The creation of the universe is history, and you can't change history. Either, God created the universe and life. or there is no god. This is first and foremost, how I apply logic and reason. Life is too complex, I just...

My mum suffered from multiple sclerosis for about the last thirty years of her life. She gradually lost the use of both legs, then both her hands, she spent about the last fifteen years of her life paralysed from the neck down. She went into a coma and was rushed to hospital, her breathing was a...

When I signed up to be a Street Pastor, It challenged my understanding of forgiveness. There was a possibility I might be hurt; do I forgive them? Before I went out on my first shift, I made it my intentions that I should forgive anyone in advance if I did get hurt. Technically, I have never...
