i thought you would post some of his objections, and we could write rebuttals....

Hey NC, The former ministry of the Roman Catholic church, as set up by the Council of Trent, had seven "Orders". The first four: porter, lector, exorcist and acolyte, were known as the minor orders; while the final three, Subdeacon, Deacon and pries…

one of my closest friend just got diagnosed with a very serious cancerous brain tumor, he is just 23 years old. They say the tumor just happens and they don't know why... just shocks me... guy is very healthy, doesn't smoke, etc... 23 yrs old, brai…

personally, i don't find big bellied belly dancers attractive... but people's tastes differ ;D

For one thing, it may have been a fragment of historical record. The dimensions of the Temple, may have been the dimensions the architects used. Also, for the Bible reader, these make the event a reality, not just a story. As far as the geneology…

I agree that if because of someone's negligence and abuse of drugs, they shouldn't get a lesser punishment. BUT, I also believe that people should not be jailed for using some drugs, as long as they use it without harming or hurting anyone else, ki…

Hey Defender, By FCC, do you mean the Federal Communication Commission? They really don't have anything to do with this, if you want to make headway, talk to your local movie theatres.

When you get to college: people will either appreciate your knowledge of culture, and things outside of their little world; or you will meet others who share your opinion. Either way, you are the more mature person. It kind of sucks (couldn't thin…

I strongly strongly suggest you transfer to another school or a public school. Which city are you in Mike, if your near me, I think I want to have a talk with your school administrators.

Personally, I think the word is too ill-defined to be able to answer these questions. Its my favorite former President once said, "it depends what the meaning of IS is." On my personal "crush" story. There have been a few girls, when I was in my …

Aphraahat the Persian Sage "After having spoken thus [at the Last Supper], the Lord rose up from the place where he had made the Passover and had given his body as food and his blood as drink, and he went with his disciples to the place where he w…

The doctrine of the Real Presence asserts that in the Holy Eucharist, Jesus is literally and wholly present—body and blood, soul and divinity—under the appearances of bread and wine. Evangelicals and Fundamentalists frequently attack this doctrine a…

what do you mean you can't ask for intercession?? how will anyone stop you from praying the way you want? I think any school, public or private legally has to allow religious freedom as long as it doesn't interfere with others. Even in my Catholi…

Church Origins Mormon There are presently five denominations (there have been many more, but these have ceased to exist) among the religious people commonly called "Mormons," but who call themselves "Latter-Day Saints." Three of these are very sma…

Mormonism’s Debt to Puritanism "Mormon theology," says Hinckley, "deals with such widely diversified subjects as the nature of heaven and the evils of alcohol. Actually, in this philosophy the two are closely related. Since man is created in the i…

Distinctive Beliefs of the Mormon Church Are Mormons Protestants? No, but their founder, Joseph Smith, came from a Protestant background, and Protestant presuppositions form part of the basis of Mormonism. Still, it isn’t correct to call Mormons…

I agree you CAN tell, but I don't agree that you SHOULD... I kinda think that its not my business if someone else is cheating, thats between their conscience and God, unless it was someone I trusted or someone who would change their behavior. Othe…

I don't think the current Mormons teach that Defender, although the original ones did. The modified their stance on marriage and a few other things too.

your not NC, I am too.

Your teacher probably accidentally told them you were the one who told. If ou feel you are in danger, tell someone in authority, but otherwise dont sweat it.

How do you figure life in prison is "getting away" with something? I think that life in prison is punishment. Everyone isn't going "innocent" either. We are just chosing a different form of punishment. Maybe God wants us to take a closer look at…

I meant murders and wars, etc...not failing a test ;) Usually in my case, failing a test isn't cause of God either, it's cause I am lazy and didn't study.

God allowing things to happen is not the same as WANTING them to happen. God WANTS us to love Him and follow Him, but He allows evil to happen. God DOES NOT WANT evil, to say so is just plain wrong. God allows evil to take place for greater Good.…

Salvation is a free gift, but how do we accept that gift? By participating in the Sacraments, and being a good person. Faith and Good Works.

You can't blame God for man's misconception of justice. God allows for punishment, but what that punishment is can be decided by society. In Islamic countries, Sharia Law is allowed. Is God ok with killing girls for not wearing a veil? You can qu…

Your in a bit of trouble now... Well, I'd say, if you can't avoid them, try to make sure your friends can watch your back. Remember, if it comes down to fighting, don't start anything, but self-defense is allowed. Next time, dont tell on other pe…

Mark, that idea of justice works only in theory. In the real world, both sides are out to win. The prosecutors have to win for their promotion, and the defendants are usually stuck with public defenders that are overworked. The system is only use…

What about the fact that so many people hav ebeen WRONGLY convicted. 13 men released in my state, Illinois alone. Thats only since 1967, imagine all the innocent men sent to death in OUR NAMES, not in my name. I am against it totally. I don't wa…
