For the most part I don't have normal friends. Seeing as I don't consider myself to be normal, that makes sense. While I do have a handful of friends who have similar religious beliefs, they are scattered all over the world. I don't get to travel as much so I don't see them as often. But a...

I have a strong distaste for sameness. It's especially true with life and spirituality. I love hearing other people's stories and seeing their perspective on life. I might disagree, but I would be bored if everyone believed the same as me.

I already mentioned him, but he was born on the 19th. I forgot how much work newborns are, so he is definitely reminding me! Now my wife is happy to be eating sushi again, a big no-no for pregnant women. She can sneak in a glass of wine now and then too.

This one is very relevant to me right now.

Sorry it took so long to respond. My baby boy was born! So now I have been busy. He has taken up most of my free time. I appreciate your maturity and your honesty. I don't think I need to add anything. Pretty sure we both know where we are coming from on this topic. I'll be poking my...

1. Open up your Catholic encyclopedia from 1902 (I don't have a 1902 copy). You most likely won't find any of today's Catholic doctrines before 130 AD. Might not even have any before 200 AD. My old professor has since passed away, so I can't ask him for any proof he had of the original...

What error?

You said that the Bible tells Christians to hate non-Christians. You still haven't provided a verse that states this claim. If God ordered the Israelites to attack an enemy thousands of years ago, that does not IN ANY WAY mean that a Christian should go out and do the same. Do you seriously...

I understand that. Definitely. But explaining those verses is really going to take some time. Not sure if there is a point when I've already seen these cherry picked verses being taken out of context. They're from the Google School of Theology. I've seen them cut and pasted all over forums...

I have to be there for my wife because she wants me to be there and because I want to be there. The doctors will take care of the medical aspect. I'll be there to support her.

Well said. I wouldn't even say that I find it illogical. I just don't see the point in making it doctrine. But I have said that over and over so I'm sure the fine people here are sick of hearing me say it. Not believing in the trinity ≠ not loving Jesus. It also doesn't mean we don't love...

Thank-you Cino. I adopted my wife's daughter, a beautiful girl who is disabled. So this is my first biological child, but I consider this to be my second child. I just have never been in the delivery room before, so this will be an experience!

My professor followed the original doctrines of the Christian Catholic Church. The original doctrines were nothing like they are today. So there was no trinity doctrine, no Easter, no Christmas, no purgatory, no baptism of children, no depictions of heavenly objects, no praying to saints, no...

As was already mentioned, none of this mentions Christians being ordered to hate other Christians. Christianity didn't exist during the verses you are mentioning. So..... really?

No. But I do put lettuce on my taco pizza. But lettuce does sound good.

That and the Bible says that we will judge angels. Kind of hard to judge angels if they never sin. 1 Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more thing that pertain to this life?

I've had a thing for "trailer music" for the past couple of years.

My wife is 9 months pregnant and the only types of food that the baby will usually accept are Mexican and Indian food. But last week my wife started craving pizza with pickles on it. So now she wants me to make my cheeseburger pizza. It's my homemade pizza crust with marinera sauce...

Here is what Emperor Constantine had to say about the Council of Nicaea... ""... it appeared an unworthy thing that in the celebration of this most holy feast we should follow the practice of the Jews, who have impiously defiled their hands with enormous sin, and are, therefore, deservedly...

Any time someone finds something from the time of the Thutmose family reign it catches my attention. Thanks for the post! Now I know what I'll be reading about for the next few days! I can't believe I didn't hear about this.
