Why did you choose vBulletin 4 instead of 5? :|

I've read on other forums debates about this issue too. The opinions are so divided on this matter... it's almost incredible! :sad:

Psiphon seems to be a good free one that has been around for a few years.

The comparison doesn't hold water. Daddy is not an omnipotent being who can stop the knife from harming Jimmy at any moment by just willing it. God is.

Then why is there only a section to ask a pastor, but no sections to ask a Catholic and an Orthodox priest, respectively?

Why? Isn't God supposed to help the one who falls alone?

If God gave a person a high libido / sex drive, but refused said person the gift of marriage, then according to 1 Corinthians 7:9, that would mean that God would have predestined said person to burn with desire because nowhere in the Bible can a Christian find any third alternative. 1...

Because Jesus' parables and teachings did not generally contain the caveat "unless God doesn't want to". The only caveats are to obey His commandments and not ask for sinful things.

Absolutely. It's quite different. The Bible is pretty clear on the fact that human sexuality is a good thing when used according to God's Will, while the pursuit of material riches is not.

I don't think that there is anything wrong with trusting God to help out the people who obey Him and who walk in the good deeds that He had prepared for them. There are quite a few passages in The Bible that highlight the idea that doing good deeds and expecting God's favor in return is not...

Why is global networking an exception? Are all the technological and medical discoveries and achievements exceptions? Weren't there people saying that about organ transplants about a century ago? Who is to say that uploading souls to a host body is the only option? There could be various...

So, it's all arbitrary then... Is there even a way to know if God listens to our prayers if He doesn't communicate and there doesn't seem to be an apparent answer?

You know what else was impossible and pure sci fi less than 50 years ago? The internet. But here we are discussing with its use, some of us holding it in our hands in a 5-inch screen format.

What about cryonics?

Is grace given continuously, or sporadically? There are some Orthodox teachings that say that God grants us grace in abundance for a period of time and then departs from us for a while, letting the devil tempt us, in order to see if we will use the grace we have experienced as a means of...

Is this a Protestant community or a Catholic one? I don't think it's an Orthodox or Coptic one, but I might be mistaken.

It sounds like a rough procedure. Which part of your tongue? Don't they usually do radiation for oral cancer instead of surgery?

Thoughts about what?
