What

Where is
Godrulz in this thread?
Looks like here's over there
contributing more RandomThoughts.
Will he speak with us about the doctrine of sin? Sin seems to be more than what
he would have us believe it is.
"You cannot understand the solution to the problem unless you understand the
problem. You can't understand the cure unless you understand the diagnosis. You
will never be able to understand God's remedy for this world if you don't
understand the malady under which this world lives and functions..." Full text:

Response to comment [from a
Catholic]: "Since 1996, there have been 58 multiple shootings in schools in the
United States, about 3.6 such incidents per year.
In 2010, there were 98,817 public schools in the United States.
So the annual risk of being in a school with such a shooting would be roughly
0.00003. Somewhat greater than being caught in a tornado, but there are about
49.8 million public school students in the United States.
The likelihood of being actually shot in a school shooting is well under one in
a million..."
They are living
your statistic (1
Cor 13:2). Do you think it takes courage to
confront evil?
Response to comment [from an agnostic]: "And now Westboro Baptist Church are going to protest at the funeral..."
Do you think
they'll say anything like this?
"...I am certain that this senseless act breaks the heart of God because
I am certain that God understands what it means to lose a son.
I am certain that every one of todays victims was precious to God
I am certain that God is near to the brokenhearted
I am certain that no life ever is devoid of meaning no matter how short.
I am certain that Jesus meant it when he said, Let the little children come
to me.
I am certain that life is precious and that every day with your kids is a
gift.
I am certain that America needs to rediscover a reverence for life.
I am certain that a day is coming when suffering will cease and God will
reign.
I am certain that when anyone closes their eyes here for the last time and
wakes up in the arms of Jesus they will be more alive than they have ever
been." Full text:

Do you think you can create heaven on earth? Eccl 10:2, Jn 10:10.
[What is Sin? By John MacArthur] "...[W]e look at the world today and it's not
very good. Evolutionists really amuse me. They are clueless about this because
they're living under the self-deception that man is getting better, that he's
improving. The idea of evolution is that man starts from simplicity and mutates
upward into complexity. That he starts from a very low and minimalistic level of
intelligence and mutates upward to a greater intelligence. That he starts at a
base level morally and he moves up to a higher and higher level morally.
But the fact...the fact of just life itself, the truth about man is a refutation
of evolution. Because the fact of the matter is, man isn't getting better, he's
getting worse..." Full text:

Too bad you don't believe that God did what he said he did (1
Jn 5:10,
1 Thes 2:13).
"If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe
if I tell you heavenly things?"
Jn 3:12
God is the creator of all things (by God [Ge
1:1;
2:4,5;
Pr 26:10] by Christ [Jn
1:3,10;
Col 1:16] by the Holy
Spirit [Job
26:13;
Ps 104:30]).
He formed the heavens and the earth and its inhabitants (Gen.
1:24-25; 2:19; Jer.
27:5) which had no previous existence (Ro
4:17;
Heb 11:3).
Creation took place in six normal days (Ex
20:11;
31:17).
God created man in his own image (Ge
1:26,27;
1Co 11:7) and likeness (Ge
1:26;
Jas 3:9) from the
beginning (Ge
1:1;
Mt 24:21,
Mk 10:6).
God created them male and female (Ge
1:26-27;
5:2,
Mt 19:4).
By faith we understand this (Heb
11:3) which leads to confidence (Ps
124:8;
146:5,6).
