So if the climate change we see is not man-made does this presumably means there is nothing we can do about it? OK, the sea level may have been 7 metres higher thousands/millions of years ago but I'm...

Pretty well spot on there with your summary!

I didn't do very well on the mortgage front as I didn't get married until the early 70's by which time property prices had sky rocketed in Essex where...

Although it wasn't my fault that I was born in the 1940's, I do feel a certain guilt when I look around and see the situation facing the millenial generation today. TBG's response sums up it very...

I was being honest in my report about the lad with spina bifida - I could have left it at the point where he got up and walked and left you to assume that he was totally healed. It is the only...

It wouldn't make any difference if he came every year, especially in these "technologically superior" times when AI can be used to fake anything, giving the skeptics all the ammo they need to reject...

All part of the Brave New World that's coming I suppose. I won't be around to see it but I worry for my grandchildren of course. As I approach my 80th in a few years time (God willing!) I am so...

Unless something dramatic happens between now and the General Election (presumably in November?) I can see Labour winning it albeit probably not by the huge margin that they are anticipating - IMO...

He does - he sent Jesus but you have rejected him. End of story.

Re: miracles. I still retain a certain degree of skepticism (a hang over from my pre-Christian days) on this subject, probably...

Regardless of who said it, (I leave you to do some research) it's an eternal truth. You ask what it means. It means you should judge a person by their actions rather than by what they say. Anyone who...

As this was a one-off historical event, it is not possible to repeat it to prove that it happened, unlike say a new scientific discovery. Hence I think you have to apply the same criteria that apply...

I doubt it. Any miraculous event would immediately be declared by most folk as a hoax or an illusion. In these days of AI, talking heads, photoshop etc. who could blame them?

The irony is that he effectively wishes that Christianity had been strangled at birth. If he had had his way there would be no churches, cathedrals, hymns, Christmas, Easter, or religious paintings...

Oh, yes the Crusades. I know I get a lot of stick on here for being a Christian but whilst I am indeed an old timer, I am not that old that I can remember the Crusades! Joking aside, clearly that was...

You sure do. You can spend eternity in another place with like-minded individuals such as yourself - lovely!

Interestingly Richard Dawkins, the atheists' Messiah, has recently declared himself to be a "cultural Christian".

He wouldn't dare.

Apart from that, just a regular guy then?

So much for the ceasefire as the IDF take over control of the Rafah crossing and prepare for the main assault there. If the news is to be believed three Hamas tunnels have apparently been discovered...

I understand what you mean by baptism sometimes being misleading. Baptism is the outward sign to others that a person has already accepted Christ rather than the act of being baptised somehow makes a...

Al Jazeera still broadcasting from Gaza of course.

I have no axe to grind as they say, as I have no confidence that either the Tories or Labour have a magic bullet solution to the malaise in the country. I agree with the above - it is ridiculous to...

I take it that this issue is of little/no interest to the Care-diffians. I think it might be a little different if this problem affected the capitol city!

:thumbup:

P.S. Sorry to hi-jack the thread but as the conversation (inevitably it seems!) has recently turned to "religion" I see that Russell Brand has recently been baptised and declares that he...

Whilst I agree the present rail system is almost farcical, nationalisation sounds a great idea in principle but I well remember the 70's when ASLEF held the entire country to ransom, not just...

Give the money to Pembs. C.C. to sort out the Withyhedge pollution problem caused by the very same Dauson Environmental Group who donated the money.
