I've heard of that. "Running Water Baptists," aren't they called? The idea is that the water 'washes your sins away,' so if it isn't running, your sins are still there-- not washed away. If you ask me, they must be a little like the Samaritan woman at the well who wanted the "living water" Jesus...

"Unbaptizing?" What does that mean? Officially renouncing one's belief?

Not long ago there was a thread about baptism—or maybe it ‘came to be’ about that subject. Anyway, the subject of this poll is not method in regard to immersion—most on here have gone through that. But if you do advocate another, such as sprinkling (I’m putting this in the Poll forum, as most...

<<Not really; that season only ended 4 months ago.>> In your citation of Proverbs 12:10, is that in present tense, or does it refer only to 'before the fall?' And explain how, if preying on the weakest is such a "cruel horrible process," how is it not cruel now? And while at it, explain why...

[/I] He doesn't provide for the birds of the air in regard to keeping bigger carnivorous birds and shotgun blasts from killing them. And it's hard to see how "kind" it is to chop an animals jugular vein according to the kosher method of slaughter. [I] Evolution or not, that is precisely...

Inroductory clause-- an inroad where many ducks are hatched, watched over eagerly by a bobcat who sits in ambush ready to pounce and use his claws to capture them.

I had a science fiction 2 seconds once about 4 years ago. I was driving back from Colorado, in the southeast part of the state. I approached a long rise in the highway, then suddenly there appeared what immediately looked like the 6 or 8 legs of a giant bug, moving forward in harmony. It only...

Sam Houston was no federalist. He led the secession from federalism.

Because it's the natural tendency for people to insist on saving their lives, saving their comfort, to 'look better' without having to do what is against their will [eat less, exercise more, avoid too much sun, et al], to have kids when the natural way isn't working-- or to not have them when it...

You sure like to criticize, don't you? Answer why you do it and you should make quite a distance to your overall answer.

I still remember him starting around 1969 when he did Houston Astros radio; I think it was after 1970 that he left for the Phillies. But I always thought he had the best voice and steadiest demeanor of any broadcaster I heard.

I remember the guy. Looking at his career stats confirmed my memory that he had that one good year, his rookie year-- and even it was less 'great' than I remembered, and he was rarely seen for the next few years, then out after 5. Wasn't he something like a more recent version of Rube Waddell...

That survey seems to make no distinction about "risen from the dead" as to whether that means physically or in some other sense. And there definitely are people who consider themselves Christians who do not believe Jesus physically rose again. In fact, that's the message given in the movie...

So which color would you prefer?

"It doesn't look right" for her to be the only woman on the court? I wonder why she forgot to say there are too many Catholics on the court.

I'm sure you'll cop out on this like you did before, but "the people in Moses' day" [ and how long was his "day;" 24 hours, 120 years or 4 billion years?], had "no reason to have thought otherwise" than Abraham's descendants-- the receivers of God's promise-- meant anything besides his...

Can pirates swim? Oh, it's possible.

Not a chance for this unless you believe in the speciation part of evolution and that it works super quick. No—were you? But the only way it didn’t exist before the supposed time of the flood would be that is was geologically lower and then raised after that time; and if you think there...

Did Noah take 2 of all 350,000 species of beetles on the ark with him? That would be about 127 pounds just of all the beetles. And there are more than 3000 species of spider, 2000 of scorpion, 4500 of worm... pounds, tons, of all these little critters if the only way of keeping them alive was...

I answered Lipton Regular, because that is the closest in type and flavor to what I usually drink; however it's not usually Lipton. At home I normally buy Luzianne in 'family size' tea bags to make iced tea; and most of the time I also have Celestial Seasonings around, though I don't drink it...
