Here's an example: 1. God is satisfied with his works "God saw all that he made, and it was very good." [Gen 1:31] God is dissatisfied with his works. "The Lord was grieved that he had made man on earth, and his heart was filled with pain." [Gen 6:6] This is an obvious case of both/and, for something occurred after Gen 1:31 and before Gen 6:6, namely, the Fall. Evil entered creation as a result of man's volition. One can argue the theological implications elsewhere, as the only relevant point is that this is not an obvious contradiction. When God created, all was good. After man rebelled, God grieved. Remember the Devil will tell men what is black is white and what is white is black. We see exactly that in this room. People take it all out of context, actually as I would expect. It's exactly what the Devil wants them to do, to confuse the hearts of men.

Awesome point and exactly as I have stated. People want God to manifest this and that and for God to come to them. Some just don't get it. Also people try to dicredit God and his teachings and base this on the people that teach the principles. Like this preacher is this, that preacher does this. Does this mean we should distance oursleves from God? It's sad that there are so many religion's based on nothing but money, power or whatever agenda they may be pushing. You have to watch out for false churches, man made churches are evil. The Bible talks about the great and abominable church. This is reffering to the church of the devil, and I don't think the devil has his hand in just a couple.

I see it this way. If Elka asks Justin his weight, a-arm length, type of quad, riding style, terrain etc. and they send the next guy the same set that has a totallty different wieght, riding style, terrian etc, then no they are not custom. There are countless spring and valving combo's for shocks. I'm sure Elka has plenty of experience with track and ride testing shocks that they do not need to watch a person ride a quad to figure out what works best under these different variables. I'm sure they do like many shock manufacturers, they put in the variables in the computer and it shoots out a specific valving spring combo for their riding style. Now if that combo happens to be on the shelf, great, if not then they will have to make them. That to me is a custom fit.

A lot of truth to that. A lot of the Devils work continues in the name of God. The wolf in sheeps clothing has a lot of meaning. People put on the face of god with the devil in their heart, a lot of preachers and religions do exactly this. I don't believe in payed ministry at all. If a person can't preach the word of the lord for free, then his heart isn't in it.

Wow you are truely lost. There is so many records outside of the Bible from other historical nations recording the same events at the same time, especially about the flood. There's a record of the Sumerians and there account as well as many more that are not even accounted for in the Bible. But hey, writings mean nothing w/o proof. If we couldn't see a sunken war ship in the ocean, then World War II never happened. Dude if Noah's Ark was unearthed in your backyard you still wouldn't believe. Just like some people don't believe we landed on the moon, or pateint's I take care of in the hospital that think they are at home. Doesn;t matter what I show them, they tell me they are still at home. I'm like do you have a huge monitor and all these machines in your bedroom at home? They are like yep, see there they all are. lol

I given you both the instruction of what to do. I can't confer the Holy Ghost to come upon you. You all must do that yourself. If you are not humble enough to do that then go on with your lives as you wish. But if you wish to know what the truth is, then there is only 1 person who can manifest that to you. Don't ask me, don't ask joe blow down the street. You want to know about God? you ask him. I don't go to the Chevy dealership and ask them about Ford's. You want to know if the records we have today are the truth. Then follow the instructions I have given you. Like I've said in previous posts. If you want an answer, ask God. It's all through the Bible, the instructions of what to do in order to gain knowledge of the truth. If you can't follow them and you want it to just pop up out of the blue to you, then you will never know. You are the one who has to seek and find God, he knows where you are, can you find him? That is why we are here. And until a person understands that, then yes you will not believe from now and forever. All I can say is read, pray to God and ask him to manifest the truth to you. Then see what happens. He will manifest undeniably to you of the truth. It's really not that hard to do. If your pride is to great to do that, then you will continue your path and will never know the truth. Trust me, if you do that then the truth will be revealed. I can lead a horse to water, but I can't make him drink. So the rest is up to you. I'm sorry I can't do this for you cause I would in a heart beat if I could.

Well I don't expect everyone to believe. They didn't in the Bible, even when Christ was here on this earth and the many angel's that appeared to people and the many miracles and destruction that was done. Some would still not believe. So I can't really expect any different today. But guarantee'd there will be a day where every knee shall bow, whether you believe or not!!! Then some still won't except him. Sad really, but the Devil will put such a grasp on his people they will slowly be led to spiritual destruction and misery for eternity. There is only one unforgiveable sin, and that is denying the holy spirit.

Faith is believing in something you can't prove. You must also have faith to not believe. You must have faith that there is no God. The reason that most or a lot of Christians have great faith, is because God has attested the truth to them. If you dare dispute that, then read the Bibe and ask of God in the name of Jesus Christ if the scriptures are true. Then see what happens. He has promised he will personally attest to you that you will know, without a doubt, that these things are true. Then when God answers you in the spirit, you will be blown away. It's really not that hard to find out, just non-believers are too lazy to seek the truth and it's just flat out easier to deny it.

Negative publicity is HUGE money!!The Divinci Con is a fine example. It's just unfortunate people loose all morality and integrity to fill their pockets and people pay it. And Madonna never had a mind to loose in the 1st place.

Everything has a price. Tell him to e-mail me.

I have about every piece they make for a banshee, definitely top notch stuff.

Who was that guy back in the late 60's that went around preaching that God was dead? I remember the story where they said he left out in the desert confused and his bones were found some time later. And what about Madalyn Murray O

Happy Birthday PTT. Have a good one!!!

A talking donkey, don't forget that. Also a virgin mother, come on this is absurd, and I guy living in a whale for 3 days. Please people I can't fathom to believe this, this stuff is absolutley impossible. Moses parting the red sea? no flippin way. I can't fathom a man having the power to create all living things either. Rained for 40 days and 40 nights and there was this great flood? Sheesh, what will these bible thumpers believe next? I do believe the primordial soup theory and the big bang theory though. It just makes more sense, though I have no record or account of these events. So I choose to believe these events with no personal account from anyone at all. It just makes more sense that all of this stuff just came together perfectly after we crawled out of the ocean, we have continually evolved to what we are today. Just think in another million years what we will be? All the Biblical authors were all smoking crack. Reminds me of a Pink Floyd song/verse. "We were two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year."

Same experience here as well as countless others.

Since science has all the answer and they can tell within + or - a 1000years time, several million years ago that which one came first, they ought to know whether the chicken or the egg came first, don't you think? Science, please, spare me the theories of probability that can in no way be tested. There is such thing as perfect science, but we are by no means able to reproduce it, so don't base your rebuttals on anything else. Science hasn't the faintest idea as to where and how anything came about and they will tell you that. That's why we don't have Laws of creation, only theories.

Umm, the place void of God is hell!! All I can say is enjoy!!! The wicked must be able to take what they dish out and then some, for eternity. If this is what you want, then you are making the grade. Your final degression will be soon!!
-
I have the proof, I can't show it to you, you have to find out for yourself. Just like I don't believe you have a banshee. You cannot prove to me that you have one, so therefore you don't.
-
Show the proof please!!

I do believe there is " a correct or a more correct" Christian religion upon this earth. I do by no means consider all Christian based religions wrong in every aspect. When Christian's live the teaching in the Bible and they bring forth good fruits, then it must be good.As I had said previously, only good things come from God and nothing else. Everyone is trying to get to the same place (Almost). If you are asking questions that no one can answer, have you asked of God? Absolutely not, I say!!

Cane, Abel, Seth and many other sons and daughters not namely mentioned. Also the story of Lot is incestial.

I would not discredit the Bible cause of a few contradictions. The Bible was translated from one language to another. Also they were mere human's translating it. They are not perfect translators and also there is not words in hebrew or egyptian that correspond with anything in the english language. Anyway I won't go into it cause your understanding of this is lacking as well. You have no understanding, so I can't blame you at all for not believing in it one bit. Like I said before, a person has to have a basic understanding of several principals before it becomes more understandible. I'ts like going to grade school before you go to Jr. High. You just can't jump into Jr. High or you won't understand it.

You need to have an understanding of Genetics to really understand how and why it worked then and it causes defects now. I think people need a broad understanding of many things to fit the pieces of the puzzle together or they start putting in their own pieces that make some semblence of sense to them. This is not good, cause it creates all kinds of confusion and contention. Hmm, wonder who would like to see that happen? Anyway, Adam and Eve carried the gene's for all man kind. Their genetic code was saturated with all traits of the human race. When these traits become less saturation then you can have matching of the genetic code causing problems and defects. there's were so disperse and saturated that no one was likely to have the same 2 gene's. It's like breeding of some animals today. You can inbreed pure bred's for so many generations then their genetic code becomes "less saturated" per say and you cannot further inbreed without birth defects. See it really isn't that hard to understand. A person must open their eye's and see the big picture instead of painting their own and say it doesn't make sense or it isn't possible. There are so many things that don't and won't make sense to us, cause we don't know ALL, nore will we in this life. So we have to take for granted that their is things we just can't understand from our further lack of knowledge. That's ok though, we shouldn't allow our lack of knowledge to get in the way and therefore we say "it isn't possible" cause of our own ignorance!!

Well this is an argument that has gone on for centuries. We are here on this earth as a learning experience, trial and error. This is the most accurate way to learn right and wrong. We have free agency to choose which path we want to follow. It has been shown in ancient biblical writings that civilization have never lasted when the people live wickedly. Now whether you believe this writing or not is between you and God. If a person is unable to follow the directions of the Bible, "ask and you shall receive" "if a person seeks wisdom, ask of me" then he will make his own path through the dark without a light. For a person to know the correct path to follow they must follow Gods instructions. A person must realize that through sincere prayer, God absolutely manifests and fullfills his promises he has made in the Bible. I can attest to that without a doubt that there is Absolutely a God. So I say to any non-believers of God and the sacrifice of Christ, I challenge them to read the teaching of the Bible and then pray to God and ask him if these writing are true? Then you try and tell me their isn't a God!! Then you will be denying his existence after he has manifested the truth to you. Not a good thing I can guarantee you that. Most people that reject the Bible and it's teachings, such as helldriver have never read the Bible or never taken the simple steps to find the truth. Therefore when a person does not know of Christ, then his or her faith is easily challenged and swayed to a path unknown, such has been the example in this thread. A person should not believe the Bible based on tradition or someone told me it was wrong or vice/versa. A person must find out on their own account so their personal foundation will be built upon a rock!! Helldriver, or anyone else for that matter, don't take my word for any of this, you follow the instruction and find out for yourself. If a person does not bring himself to Christ, he will come to you and humble you, in whatever way he see's fit, so your focus will be straight and narrow. It's the way that God works. Just hate to see all these prisoners finding Christ while behind bars. If they would just have done it sooner they wouldn't of had to experience hell early if at all. Anyway, I can tell you the kind of neighbor's I want, my kids school teacher, baby sitter, my co-workers, my house cleaner, etc. Trust me, they aren't satinists. Satan is unable to do good, of any kind. All good things are of Christ, for he cannot do evil. So you decide the type of person you want to be now, cause that's exactly the type of people you will be around in the next life.
