Just been reading up on this in the BMJ as I'm a pharmacist and think I'll probably be getting a lot of questions in the next few days on it. For anyone prescribed the medicines mentioned it says it is important not to stop them without speaking to your GP as the risks associated with...

Was given a bottle of Glenfarclas 105 and some nosing glasses for my birthday the other week. Definitely my favourite whisky tried so far although I do really like the Balvenie double wood as well. The 105 is cask strength and you can actually feel it evaporating off your tongue, probably best...

I've been in the pharmacy in the village for years, really nice place to work. Sure I'll speak to you on the phone to borrow stuff!

The way I understand it is that it's the 10 commandments that set gods standard that none of us can reach as we've all broken at least one. Salvation doesn't mean that the 10 commandments no longer apply, just that someone else has paid our penalty for breaking them. We should still try to...

Think the majority of my mates and possibly people in general think this, but the bible is clear that no one has led a good enough life (in gods eyes) to go to heaven. This obviously gives us a massive problem and the solution is provided in the perfect life of Jesus sacrificing himself for us...

The way the universe is so perfectly balanced is for me proof of God's existence but the same thing for someone else will prove to them that there is no God. I think whether you believe in god who created, or in the big bang and evolution , both require faith as the statistical odds for either...

Cheers, I've lurked for years but this subject spurred me to post. And thanks to Kurt for your kind message, I don't have enough posts to PM back!

I think it would be best for all concerned to never mention the Wigan game!

Not at all, think it's great we can talk sensibly about such a potentially sensitive subject and it's also important to ask questions, if faith is never tested then it's not really faith.

I will 100% agree with you that I'm no particular fan of organised religion, far too much man made tradition added, probably with the best intentions, but they then become more about peoples interpretation of the bible (or other holy book) rather than what it actually says.

Yes, think the books of the bible were written by men with the inspiration of the holy spirit. I know there are a lot of questions over which books were picked to go in the bible but the ones that are in it are all consistent with each other and with who god is. I suppose I trust that it was...

Do believe there's only one God and only one way to heaven (Jesus), but only god knows our hearts and as I'm not sure what Islam teaches about Jesus it's not really for me to speculate on other individuals salvation. Sorry if that's a bit of a cop out but it's a really difficult question.

I do think it's all 100% true although I don't think it is all literal if you see what I mean. Think parts of it are prophetic or figurative but don't think they are any less true for it. The bible was never intended as a scientific manual, more of a way for god to communicate who he is to us...

Excellent question, bible says that only way to eternal life is through belief that Jesus died to save you from your sins and then asking for forgiveness. I suppose the adoration would come through knowing what you've been saved from. These are all issues that most Christians struggle with too...

Have researched it a fair bit and could give a long winded explanation for why I believe this bit of the bible mostly literally but don't think there's much point as I'm on a hiding to nothing with it! And to be fair I can understand why, but still, as I said before, think the most important...

Only two sons mentioned in the bible but obviously think they had more children. The whole debate over creation as stated in genesis will go on and on and I don't think either side will convince the other they're right but in terms of faith in God I think there are more important things.

This question divides even a lot of Christians, but to answer for me, yes I do.

I wouldn't say God is happy for anyone to suffer at all, let alone a new born baby, but it is mankind who have caused the suffering. I worship God because as far as I have seen so far in my life, he provides the only solution to suffering. I agree that this is a hard concept to understand...

Hello everyone, lots of interesting views in this thread so thought I'd share mine as a Bible believing christian. I believe that the Bible tells us that God made the world and everything in it perfect. God wanted to have a personal relationship with us but for this to be a real relationship...
