    Anyone can claim to be whatever they want. Does that make it so? There are tons of people in this world who are hypocrites; it shouldn't come as such a big suprise.

    I am a Christian and worship Jesus, but I don't have any idols of him lying around the house. Also, the Father (God), Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit are one - the trinity. So while I worship Jesus, I worship God (and the Holy Spirit).

    I don't recall it saying anywhere in the Bible that all these Biblical characters were black, though I don't get hung up on it. I'm Swedish, not Jewish, and I don't preach that Jesus was a Scandanavian with blond hair and blue eyes. From what I've read, they are all Jewish, and that wouldn't make them black. Not that it matters. Black Jesus, Chinese Jesus, Eskimo Jesus, it doesn't matter and definitely shouldn't be an issue worth fighting about. The main point is our salvation.

    This passage of the Bible is teaching Christians not to be like the Pharasees, who did everything for human recognition. They would pray aloud on street corners in view of everyone, so that people would know they were 'righteous.' The issue isn't that we should pray in our rooms, it's that we should pray for God, not for humans. Secondly, why would Jesus tell us to pray in our rooms when the Bible tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to pray without ceasing? I don't know about you, but I leave my room once in a while, so this wouldn't be possible. The Bible doesn't contradict itself when taken in context.

    As Christians, we believe that everything in the Bible is absolute truth. And the Bible tells us that God created man in His image. That leaves no interpretation for evolution. I have done lots of reading on Evolution vs. Creation, and I've also had lots of evolution theory drilled into me in almost every college class. Evolution is less believable than creation. Do you realize that there is absolutely NO evidence for evolution? Not only that, but almost every theory that 'supports' evolution can be refuted. Many research institutes around the world are offering thousands of dollars to anyone who can produce a shred of evidence for evolution, and they have yet to get any takers. There's a great book that you should check out: The Collapse of Evolution by Scott M. Huse. This should change your view on evolution.

    Humans are the only beings with a soul. We each have a unique personality; animals do not.

    I am a Christian and I don't believe in evolution because the Bible is God's word and it's truth. So, when the Bible tells me that God created all that's in the earth, I believe. A true Christian cannot believe in Evolution because it's not Biblical and this belief pulls people away from worshipping the creator to worshipping things that have 'evolved.' And from all the research that I've done on the subject, I can't understand how so many people preach evolution. It takes more faith to believe in evolution than it does to believe in God. There are many organizations around the world that are offering cash to anyone that can provide one piece of evidence that evolution happend or is happening. They haven't yet had to pay out anything, and I doubt they ever will.

    Let's compare religions. Christianity is the only one that isn't based on works. The higher the number of old ladies that I help across the street isn't going to get me to heaven. All other religions are based on works. Why would I want to believe in a religion that says that I must make a trek to the Holy Land to get to heaven. I prefer to believe that Jesus did all the work for me on the cross. Doesn't that seem much easier to you? Then when you believe in Christ he changes your life and you want to do good works for Him. Our salvation isn't based on good works, but on faith.

    There's a perfect story for you to check out. The story of the Rich Young Man; Matthew 19:16-30. This story is very applicable to your situation. It teaches us that good works don't really mean anything unless we have faith. The epistle of James explains the idea of faith and works rather well in chapter 2:14-26. Paul tells us in Romans 3:10 that there are none righteous not even one. We all need salvation from our sins. I've been redeemed and it's great. The whole book of Romans does and excellent job explaining the Christian faith. Christ has set me free and he can do the same for you.

    This is a valid question, posed by humans whose only concept of everything revolves around time. I can't comprehend 1000 years, let alone an eternity with my creator. Since we are humans, a mere creatation of God, our puny, earthly brains can't even comprehend a fraction of God's greatness. And because everything we see has a relationship to time (a beginning and an end) we can't comprehend something without either a beginning or an end.

    I guess I don't understand your hang-up. Clinton did whatever he wanted in the Oval Office, and that didn't bother the majority of liberals. You must agree that a praying president, George W., is more Eithical than Bill Clinton.

    Anyone who's read the Bible can tell you that God doesn't make people homosexual. It clearly states that it is a sin just like every other sexual immorality. Contrary to popular science God doesn't make people homosexual.

    Have you ever been convinced to do something that you know in your heart is wrong? I find that I sometimes do things contrary to what God wants, and we all have, including Adam. Adam was human just like us, and was given free will to make his own decisions. Adam's sin didn't have anything to do with Eve's looks. I don't think Adam's story is unbelievable or unrealistic.
