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.

What a novel idea - French police destroy inflatable boat before illegal immigrants get a chance to board it!

They could have used this tactic years ago - it would surely be a proper deterrent....

It seems this little 7 year old girl was trampled to death by men scrambling to get onto the inflatable, despite her father's cries. So much for...

What is the appeal mechanism for getting a road with the new 20 mph limit reverted back to 30 mph? Write to local council I assume?

Chris Packham's response to Hancock's appearance in the London Marathon (Laura Kuenssberg programme yesterday) says it all!

Another case of the police being damned if they do or damned if they don't. Suppose this chap had had his way, was allowed to cross the road to confront the pro-Palestinian marchers and was...
