    Mark of the beast?

    It just seems to me that if someone was willing to accept the mark and with it the wrath of God, I really don't believe it will just wash off.

    Argy, I thought you may actually be looking for some insight into why Christianity functions the way it does. This seems to be far from the truth. You have already made up your mind, you are not looking for answers you are looking to argue. Which benefits no one. I feel sorry for you.

    Thank you all for your help, Trogz I will probably be asking you a few more questions a little later. Especially about actual distance and travel time.

    Sounds like He blessed you greatly. A common understanding for Christian parents is that we are supposed to reflect God's love through the way we raise our children. God's for warning that the punishment for sin is death, and possibly hell. He told us what to expect if we sin. Still didn't...

    Thinking of Moving to Australia

    Few more questions, 1) My wife and I are reading a book about being an American coming over to Australia. One of the things they mention is not to drink and drive. I don't drink so its' a nil issue but I was curious what makes it so bad to drive intoxicated over there? We are supposed to...

    Fathers have plenty of choices. You can choose how your children are raised, what school they go to, who they can play or hang out with, what they do with their free time, when they can and can't leave the house. To for warn us that there are consequences for our actions. This true in life...

    There is a flaw with your analogy, you are comparing God to a scientist that has lab manufactured pet rats, not a father that has children. My point, is that God is a father. Yes He created us like all parents do (maybe not in the same fashion but to the same extent). He does not want to see...

    I appreciate your patience, still working up to my point. What would your children's opinions and cognitive abilities be like if you denied them the chance to experience family life, friends, work, school, and the environment associated with all of them?

    I am working up to my point, but why do you think your children do things they way you think they should be done sometimes and other times they don't? Is it because you granted your children with the same ability to think clearly that you were given?

    I have to have faith that they will make that choice since I am part of the reason they are in the world. This seems like a contradiction, you said that you were raised to know God, but then your family grants you the ability to move away from Him. I don't know of anyone like that. I know...

    I am very confident that my children will know God, because the same love God has shown me I convey to them. What did your family do to you to turn you away from Christianity so much? Why do you hate Him so much if you don't believe in Him? You still have not answered the question why you...

    In my experience and from what I have seen the world is bad enough that for some leaving it may seem a sweet escape from their torment. Thankfully I do not have to worry about them suffering for eternity because I am raising them to know God. Argy why do you believe in hell if you don't...

    Forget about hell and damnation. I would like to know why you would be ok letting a child go out into the world with all the pain, heartache, grief, and hard lessons they are bound to encounter just growing up? I know as a parent I have lost a lot of sleep and hair over this prospect.

    No, but life happens they could get hurt, hurt someone else, possibly some atrocity that takes their life. Would you still let them out of the house or would you keep them hidden away?
