Sarcothelia

Just a few things... If you look closely at my profile picture you can see the sky...proof I occasionally go outside. I enjoy learning about chemistry and biology, running saltwater fish tanks spurred my interest. Hoping to major in biochemistry or something of that sort, we'll see where that gets me. Sarcothelia is the first genus of coral I owned, hence my name. If you have aquarium questions that need expert answers I suggest you email crew@wetwebmedia.com, they typically answer in under two days and are incredibly knowledgeable. I'm Atheist and if I offend you in R&A don't take it too seriously.

  • Why can't there be female pastors?

    Why are we asking the same old questions about silly themes like this? The Bible has spoken clearly that God has never ordained a female as a Pastor. I've chosen to place the article back up on my site just for clarification. I shall never affirm female preachers ever. The article defines it. The question should always be, what does the bible say. We have lost our minds people. Listen to me brothers and sisters, stop discussing issues with the intention of changing what the Bible has already spoken on. Is it clear to you? Well take the time and read this article. Then make a sure statement just as God would about the issue. No Female Pastors! No! No! No! Never! Never! Never! Does this offend you, guess who does not care about how you feel. Get a life in God and all of your problems will dissipate. Do not remain a constipated Christian, stopped up with the lies of church people that know not God.

    - Pastor John Coleman.

    Do you agree with him? If so, why do you believe the Bible says no female pastors?

  • How long do you believe the sixth day of creation was?

    I think the Bible writers mean ~24 hours. If you interpret a day as being longer back then, on the order of millions of years, half of the globe at any one time would be practically uninhabitable.

  • Do you believe it is possible for an irreligious society to prosper?

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/5603096/T... (in the UK)

    Okay, maybe the UK isn't doing so hot right now. But relative to most places on Earth the standard of living is fairly high. Or is it only a matter of time before God gives them what they have coming to them?

  • If someone lives their entire life without ever being told of God...?

    are they (as arbitrated by the Bible) destined to hell? Just wondering if the Bible says that people who lack the means to either believe or reject his existence are destined to perdition.

  • Have you ever tried dipping chicken strips in a milkshake?

    Whenever I go to Carl's Jr or McDonald's I dip my chicken in my milkshake. Anyone else do this? I think it tastes AMAZING (just a treat, I don't think it'd be a good idea to do very often).

  • Did you know that Jesus was part Jamaican?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRmBChQjZPs

    I think this is who the Bible referred to as Jesus (he's Jewish, at least)

    Thoughts?

  • If wrath is a sin why is it okay for God to do it?

    7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

    8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

    Sounds pretty wrathful to me. Can God 'sin'?

  • Christians: Do you believe men are superior?

    11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

    11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

    11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

    Also, why do you not shave the heads of women who pray without covering their hair?

    Or do you not believe in 'this part' of the Bible...(this is NT by the way).

  • According to Genesis humans and all other land creatures were made on the same day?

    24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

    26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

    27 So God created mankind in his own image,

    in the image of God he created them;

    male and female he created them.

    28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

    29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

    31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

    So...do you Christians not believe in the words of Genesis or...do you believe humans came to being on the same day as elephants, giraffes, wolves, etc. and all creatures that have long since been extinct? There is no middle ground it seems.

  • Why is 'he' capitalized when referring to God?

    I understand how God is capitalized as it is a 'name', but why do people say "God is real. I know that He loves all of his creations."

    Why capitalize he/him/his when referring to God?

  • Will my ACT score help?

    I scored well on the SAT, but with a 34 composite ACT score (34 writing as well) I'm wondering if colleges will look at that even though the ACT (at least at the colleges I've looked at) are not required. Is it worth putting on my resume or does it not matter either way. Thanks.

    It also causes cancer, but it is manufactured on large scales and can be readily bought at the store (though it is mislabeled)!

  • Does this mean Christians are obligated to eschew non-Christians?

    2 John

    7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

    8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

    9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

    10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

    11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds

    Does this justify bigotry?

  • Why are some Christians bigoted if?

    if the Bible clearly says "Love thy neighbor as thyself": Lev. 19:18. I mean, practice what you preach people. I don't see how so many 'God fearing' people still hate so ostensibly when the very book they hold in such high regards tells them otherwise.

  • 'On this Earth' or 'On this earth'?

    I am including this in my personal statement and am uncertain as to which is grammatically correct. I am thinking 'on this earth' because earth may just be referring to the ground beneath our feet. But I'm not entirely certain.

    Thanks in advance.
