This article goes hand in hand with the one about 3 out of 4 children losing their faith in public schools. The problem lies in two places. First, the home. Dads aren't teaching their children the Bible and its basic fundamental truths. Our children get into the school setting and they can't defend their faith, plus, they are made to look, and feel, inferior for being christians. Parents are also to blame for not being responsible for their children's education in the first place. Second, the fault lies with the church. Why? Because many churches are more concerned with entertaining children than teaching them. We split them up and then cater to their needs based on their age, when, in reality, they should be learning with their parents, and every other member of the church, under the ministry of godly men who will preach the Word without fear or apology. Pastors, wake up and stop trying to be like the world to keep your people's interest! Parents, wake up and get your children out of the godless public schools (and most christian schools aren't much better) and educate your children at home! No excuses! No whining! Be willing to live out your faith! |

Atheists say we christians walk by blind faith. I think it takes more faith to believe that all life started from...nothing  . And then we have this lifeless material producing...life . And then we have these simple one-celled organisms becoming...us . Can't you just smell the blind faith  |

Michael, I believe in election. Having said that, I NEVER divorce it from our need to live a holy life nor from our responsibility to share the gospel with ALL people. Jesus said the gospel would be preached to the whole world. We are told to go out ito the highways and byways and share the good news. We are also told that we are new creatures, the world is our enemy and if we love it, we don't love God. Most importantly, we are told to be holy even as God is holy. How anyone can say that lifestyle and witness don't matter is beyond me. Also, I've been praying for you Michael. i don't know what your particular need is right now, but our Father does, and that's all that matters  |

DB, "Also I hear many professions of faith, but see very little possessions of faith." The Bible tells us that will be one of the signs of the last days. Notice 2 Tim. 2:4 says, "Lovers of pleasures MORE THAN lovers of God". It doesn't say, "instead of", but "more than". They will "have" God and their pleasures to. Thus, the reason for no power. They know of Christ, but they don't know Him; professors, but not possessors. I think a lot of the reason for this is because christians today are more excited about "getting a convert" than making disciples. We will do whatever we can to get the sinner to say yes, then we figure, "mission accomplished". Unfortunately, all this does is add another unsaved sinner to the ranks of church membership. Another deluded soul, duped into thinking he's okay with God because he said a prayer. We need to get back to evangelism that lets people know that there is a cost to following Christ: deny yourself (sin included), take up your cross (on which you will die to this world), and follow Christ (where HE says to go, not where we want to go). We won't get as many "yes's", but we will be making disciples instead of false professors. |

I was quite surprised, and disturbed, to see that the editors decided to delete my post to expositor 2 hours ago. Why is it that heretics can come on here and spew their filth and blasphemies, but when they are rebuked, maybe in a harsh manner, but not in a deleting way, the rebuke gets deleted? expositor has denied our Savior, diminished God's Word, trampled underfoot the precious blood of Christ, and spread false teaching; and I'm the one deleted. Go figure |

Publican, even though there was no cosmic time keeping for earth until the fourth day, the Genesis account still divides day and night from the first day. This in itself indicates some kind of time frame. Just because there was no sun or moon doesn't mean that there was no literal time. All that was necessary was dark and light. As far as where you see God using a part to explain the whole, I'm sorry, but I don't see it (sorry it took me so long to respond, I had to look up some of your words. I told you I was simple ) |

Yamil, the biggest problem I have with your answer is this, "Even in the OT when God chooses Israel over the other nations, he did so so that they may be a light unto the nations around them so that they can be reached." God told them to wipe out entire nations! Men, women, and children! How can they reach them if they are told, by God, to destroy them? This is a question that plagued me for many years. This is the question that started me on my search for some kind of answer to what appeared to be a different God in the OT. This is why, and I don't say this to start an argument or to get insulted, I have embraced the doctrines of grace. If God is sovereign in salvation, which I believe He is, then He can choose whom He wants to. It's not that He chooses some for Heaven and the rest for Hell. It's that we ALL deserve Hell, and in His mercy He chose to save some of us unworthy, ungrateful, wicked individuals through whom He could show His power and glory. I know you won't agree, but I hope you can at least see where I am coming from. I won't use it as an elitist thing, I don't deserve anything from God but Hell. Why He chose me, I don't know, other than for His glory. I want to live to show that in my life. |
