Sure enough, Norm. The first of this fellow's ten point debate is this Pi question. I am so grateful for your answer last month, Norman Rice. (Thanks to you, I come out smelling like a rose right off the bat!) Thanks again, Rose of Sharon, aka RoS (A rose by any other name...) |

Thanks JCrighton. I appreciate your point and agree that men aren't won into the kingdom by arguments. But I am confident that the Word of God is perfect and defendable. I have met a forum full of people who don't believe that it is; they believe instead that the bible is full of holes, and that they'd be foolish to trust it. And therefore, that they'd be foolish to trust its author. I've met its Author and He is not foolish, nor does He make mistakes. (Men who translate it have, however) And I think these people have every right to question its authority before they trust it. If the authority of the bible is in doubt, and they require its soundness before making a decision for Christ, then I feel it is our duty to defend it. If I see the discussion going nowhere, though, as they sometimes will... then it is a waste of time and I retreat. For now, they seem to have geniune questions. And I am grateful to find men of God on this web site who have studied to find biblical answers for them. I thank you for them all. God bless you, RoS |

3 | To take a staff or not to take a staff? | Luke 9:3 | RoS | 107581 | ||
Makarios, I want to thank you, brother, for your dedication to the apologetics work you've shown at this web site. Your reward here on earth cannot be compared to the reward that awaits you in heaven but I wanted to tell you that I appreciate it, very much. The fellow at the forum wasn't "moved" necessarily; but it's a large forum, with many readers. (Beliefnet.com) And who knows how many might one day be moved by the Holy Spirit to accept our testimony because your work has allowed so many of us to appear as "workman approved." I'll be back for more soon, no doubt. Take care, Sharon Sullivan / RoS, a.k.a. Rose of Sharon Author, Fully Recovered Catholic exsulent@bbmail.net |

Thanks again brother EdB. I've run into many of them, for years; and long ago learned how not to get buried. I've limited the debate we'll have to ten points which concern this young man's belief that the bible has inconsisentcies with the science he believes to be factual. I refuse to be buried under busy-ness that does not aid to save souls. I've run into Roman Catholics who'll do the same thing; these pharicees are the only group Jesus condemned. So I won't waste my time with them, either. Terrific web site you've got here. I'm so grateful to have found you. Merry Christmas, RoS |

Dear Norm, Praise the Lord, is right! This answer could aid in turning many scholarly men and women on that forum toward Christ, sir. This is very important. I hope you'll listen in on our debate starting the first week of January. (See Beliefnet.com - Discussions; Evolution vs. Creation - I'm Fully Recovered Catholic, FRC, for short; my opponent is a young man named Raindog.) IMPORTANT: I need your full name, Norm. I set up the debate rules myself including one which approves the use of extra-biblical sources, but not those drawn anonymously, as from an internet web site. If you are reluctant to offer your name or an email address (so he might contact you privately), please tell me where you got this answer. If you arrived at this answer yourself, then of course, I'll need your name -- and your genius should be recognized anyway! (I hope you're not keeping this a secret. I hope folks like Dr. Dino know about this answer, in other words, Norm.) Please visit us in January. I've prayed the Lord would begin to draw prayer warriors there. I would love prayer for discernment and wisdom; and I'd love some "science" help. Thanks again, brother; your answer is surely inspired. RoS (Rose of Sharon) |

Thanks for your suggestions EdB. This fellow was raised in a Christian home, is probably young, but he is well-versed in the bible. He's rebelling at present and has decided that because according to him the bible does not contain the concept of PI in relation to the earth (or, a sphere as opposed to a circle), the bible is fallible and therefore he isn't required to submit to God's authority. I know from experience that this question will come up in a debate he and I will start next week (he's asked it there already of the Christians on the forum, numerous times). So far, it seems no one he's met on line has an answer for him. I doubt any answer he gets will send him back to His Father's house, repentant, but it doesn't look good to the observers on the forum (a large one full of many non-believers) for the church to be so backed into a corner on this one. I hope someone in here has seen/addressed this argument before. Thanks for any help you can offer. RoS |
