1 | "What did Jesus look like?" | Not Specified | Vannessa | 56920 | ||
Hi ya, I'm new here, but I have a question please. I spend a lot of time at MTV.com, "fight for your rights" forum. I try to offer some alternative responses to the usual atheistic views. Yes quite challenging but I feel it's a worthy effort. One of the questions asked is: "What did Jesus look like?" It seems I remember studies show that Jesus was of a fairly dark complexion but looked basically very average. Please let me know if you have any scriptural references regarding Jesus' physical appearance or any other studies done regarding this question. Thank you for your help. V |

2 | Ack! Evolutionists- -Help?(whimper) | Not Specified | Vannessa | 57200 | ||
Hola, Maybe you can help me with this question. Right now I'm in a fairly lengthy debate with an Evolution Science student. He/she keeps telling me that the theory of Evolution makes no claims to the origin of life. Yet leading Evolutionary Scientist continue to write articles, perform experiments, etc. that are directly related to the origin of life. He/she says that just because the theory of Evolution does not make claims to origin of life does not mean these scientists can't do other experiments and write articles on the subject. Ok this really stresses me because I don't understand why they're going to such lengths to prove the theory of chemical evolution when the theory itself does not support such claims. Ok if I'm sounding redundant it's for good reason---I've been presenting various other theories and suggesting that Evolution is not absolute and that many scientists have abandoned the theory. I'm met with a very 'thick' wall of claims that there is no other evidence for the origin of life, except for Evolution. But we know that there is. Ack! Are you guys following me? LOL Anyway if you have any suggestions or suggested reading I can find that will help in this ancient debate. I'd appreciate it. Oooo I think a spider just built a web between the monitor and me after sitting here so long debating with this (not so nice) person. Take care, V |

3 | Did dinosaurs and humans co-exist ? | Not Specified | Vannessa | 58672 | ||
Did dinosaurs and humans co-exist and how do I find the physical proof of this if it is true? I have an atheist scientist demanding proof of this. I made the mistake of suggesting that this person visit the Creation museum in Cincinnati when it's completed. Now I'm accused of being a liar and having my character attacked for even suggesting it. What up with that? So hostile when I made no claims of them existing, just that they should visit the museum. I'm not a Scientist; I'm just a girl who believes in God and thought that visiting the museum would answer some questions for this person. (sigh)Any suggestions or how I should continue or should I just drop it all together? Have a gooden, V |

4 | Was Hitler a Christian? | Not Specified | Vannessa | 59725 | ||
Was Hitler a Christian? I'm being called a Nazi because I'm a Christian. Funny I don't feel like a Nazi. :-/ Anyone have some facts about Christianity and Hitler that might help? I know that many good people who happened to be Christians died fighting Hitler and his Nazi regime. This has to be the ultimate insult to the fallen soldiers who gave their lives fighting the Nazis. So no offense intended, I'm just in another one of those lovely debates at MTV.com "fight for your rights". Acck the things being said over there will make ya barf for sure. :-) Laters, V |

7 | A poem I wanted to share. | Not Specified | Vannessa | 60221 | ||
Dedicated to my Brother, Sister and Father Sept. 5, 2002 WITHOUT EVEN A SOUND: IS THERE A PLACE TO CRY WHEN YOU FEEL SO EMPTY YOU JUST WANT TA DIE. YOUR FAMILY HAS GONE THROUGH SO MUCH AND YOU JUST WANT TO LOSE COMPLETE AND TOTAL TOUCH. THE REALITY YOU ONCE KNEW, HAS QUIETLY SLIPPED AWAY INTO AN ENDLESS STORMY SEA OF GRAY AND BLUE. THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE ARE NO LONGER THERE TO SHARE ALL THE JOY YOU USED TO SHARE. BUT YOU HAVE TO PRETEND YOU'RE O-Kay SO OTHERS CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THEIR OWN HELL IN A DAY. AND THEN WHEN YOU'RE ALL ALONE, YOU BEGIN TO THINK OF ALL THE THINGS YOU DIDN'T, BUT WANTED TO SAY. SO MANY TIMES YOU COULD HAVE SAID I LOVE YOU, BUT WITHOUT EVEN A SOUND YOU LET THOSE PRECIOUS MOMENTS CONTINUE. SO YOU DON'T WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE, YET YOU DON'T EVEN TALK ON THE PHONE. IN YOUR HEART YOU KNOW IT'S THEIR COURAGE YOU LACK. BUT WITH GRITTED TEETH YOU TURN YOUR FACE TO THE RAIN AND AS YOUR CHALLENGE IS LOST IN THE THUNDER, YOU SCREAM TO GOD, "I WANT THEM BACK! OH GOD, I JUST WANT THEM BACK!" YOU REMEMBER THEIR BEAUTIFUL FACES FULL OF HOPE AND LAUGHTER. THEN DEATH ENTERED THEIR EYES AND THEY BEGAN TO DREAM IN THE QUIET EVER AFTER. AT FIRST YOU JUST WANT TO JOIN THEM IN THEIR PEACEFUL SLEEP. NO MORE SORROW, NO MORE PAIN, NO MORE TEARS TO WEEP. BUT YOU CHOOSE TO KEEP GOING WALKING AROUND IN A DAZE. NOT REMEMBERING WORDS OF COMFORT OR KNOWING WHAT TO SAY. THEN YOU REMEMBER HOW THEY FOUGHT SO BRAVELY TO THE VERY LAST BREATH. EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW THEIR OPPONENT DIDN'T PLAY FAIR AND THAT THEIR RIVAL WAS THE CLOAK OF DEATH. SO YOU DECIDE TO GIVE THEM THE HONOR THEY'RE DUE AND LIVE YOUR LIFE, AS THEY WOULD WANT YOU TO. YOU HOLD THEM CLOSE, SO VERY CLOSE TO YOUR HEART AND LIVE EVERYDAY MAKING A FRESH NEW START. BUT DEEP IN YOUR SOUL THE CLOAK TRIES TO MAKE YOU STUMBLE WITH DOUBT AND WORRY AND FEAR. YOU FIGHT THE STORM DEEP IN YOUR CHEST, AND YOU FEEL THE PIERCING STING OF ONE ANGRY TEAR. SO YOU SPIT IN THE FACE OF DEATH AND SHAKE YOUR FIST IN THE AIR! YELLING INSIDE AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS ALL THE HATE THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY BEAR. THEN YOU REMEMBER THEIR KINDNESS SO VERY, VERY SWEET, AND REMEMBER THEIR GENTILE NATURE, WITH A SMILE ALWAYS TO GREET. YOU REALIZE THE VICTORY IS REALLY THEIR'S TO CELEBRATE IN THE SILENT ECHO YOU'VE FOUND. AND LIKE THE POWER OF THE ROLLING THUNDER THEIR FAITH, COURAGE AND GOODNESS LIVE ON WITHOUT EVEN A SOUND, WITHOUT EVEN A SOUND. julie a. swofford |

8 | Question about Tyre | Not Specified | Vannessa | 63317 | ||
The real question is "If the Bible was really inspired by an omniscient, omnipotent deity, why would he have directed one prophet to predict a temporary destruction of Tyre and then later direct another prophet to predict that Tyre would be destroyed forever and never be rebuilt?" I found this on another forum and was curious about your answer. V |

Ahh “Hank,” If you only knew the things Christians are called at MTV.com. Talk about your basic lion's den. These are usually atheists or science students who enjoy slaying Christians with words. It's not a pretty "site"! But I remain very strong in my faith. I am just, I can't think of the word---sorrowful maybe, about the impact these folks are having on unsuspecting minds at that particular site. I try very hard to combat these folks in a loving manner, even though my knowledge of the Bible, evolution, etc. are limited. Not to mention my debate skills leave a lot to be desired. If you want a real challenge try it one day, :-). I have to stop from time to time to just pray a bit. It can be very stressful, but I worry so much about the impression these atheists are presenting that in all good conscience I can't stay away from there for very long. Any advice is welcomed. Thanks so much for your response. I hope you are having a pleasant holiday weekend. V |

Welp I posted about the Creation Museum at MTV.com "fight for your rights" board, cause I was excited about the prospect and it received the usual scoffing response. They said it was a money making gimmick and that it would be like an amusement park. :-( (Sigh) Oh well I'm not giving up. Cuidate, V |

Thanks Debbie, I do try to stand strong. I have been to the creation site and I present the facts as best I can from what I've read there. However the people I'm talking with do not accept anything I try to present factually. It is very frustrating to be called a liar, etc. I was hoping for some other strategy. Generally the responses are "prove it!" Now I know this is just a mind set on their part in that they will not accept anything I tell them no matter what. But I was hoping for some kind of new strategy in my approach and perhaps some new information I have not read before. In other words I was hoping to find out what others have used in their debates with evolutionists. Anyway thank you for your efforts, very appreciated. Take care and have a good Labor Day. V |
