How many of you watch Ancient Aliens? I've been watching the series since it came out.

Excellent question. I never asked God to take away my bipolar. I accept being as I am. As a believer in the Bible, I believe God made the world and humanity perfect in the beginning, but that an enemy perverted it and it is no longer perfect. That's why we now suffer sickness and death, which God never intended. Medication enables me to function fairly well in spite of my bipolar, just as insulin aids a diabetic. Our first parents were created in His image, but because they turned away from Him and lost their right to the Tree of Life, which would have granted immortality, humanity has become less healthy with each succeeding generation. God did not give me bipolar disorder. The human race has been declining for millennia. He in His mercy has opened up knowledge to modern medicine in the form of pharmaceuticals and other treatments, which helps counteract this decline. IMO.

Well put. Thank you for explaining.

Another excellent question! I'm loving this. I'm sorry somebody got out of line last night.

One thing that makes the Bible different from any other book is that it foretells the future. There are many instances where prophecies were written hundreds or even thousands of years before events occurred, and they happened exactly as foretold. Daniel chapter 2 is a famous example. In the time of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, he had a dream he couldn't remember. After a day of prayer, Daniel was able to tell the king not only what he'd dreamed, but what it meant. It revealed the political and military history of the world to come after Nebuchadnezzar, down through the kungdoms of Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, and Europe, and ending with the coming of Christ at the end of the world. All has happened just as foretold, except the final act. No one can foretell the future but a Superior Being.

Great job explaining!

Big Bang theory. Evolution. Science. Stuff that actually makes sense and can be proved.

Big Bang cannot be proven. Is why it is calked a theory. Can't be proven becsuse it can't be replicated. Belief in Big Bang requires faith, so it's basically a religion, not science. Just because scientists believe it, claim it and teach it does not make it science.

No its not a choice people are born with it I met actaul people and its a genetic mutation which makes people LGBTQ.

Well couldn't that just be luck?

Its crazy to think somebody predicted something happening thousands of years before it happened, but I am still sceptical

That's mighty stretching for luck! You can believe so, but you can see it isn't probable!

Yes!

So good

One thing that annoys me is how the Christians think God created everything including Space, & all the planets in the universe.

God is not the answer for everything's creation.
