They believe that verse refers to miracles, and want to stay away from it b/c we don't see many miracles and that's a "scary" subject. But read it and you'll find it doesn't mention the miraculous (although that's fine) it simply refers to great works done if we have faith. Faith meaning obedience to God's ways: honesty in our business transactions and science, fairness in how we treat different people (including strangers).<br /><br />Rodney Stark discusses some of this in his book "The Victory of Reason: How Christianity Led to Freedom, Capitalism, and Western Success". And it's a sin (with some dire consequences) that churches have let this fade from their teachings.DrTorchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-27902763945265296522013-04-22T07:14:51.244-05:002013-04-22T07:14:51.244-05:00ANyone who believes all cultures are equal should ...ANyone who believes all cultures are equal should come experience Africa. And I don't mean "buy curios and watch ,native dances' at commercialised tourist attractions like Moyo at Spier Wine Estate". I mean come here and listen to African talk radio, read the newspapers, look at what happens on the sidewalks, watch the 19:00 news, drive the N2 highway past the settlements.VryeDenkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-43865293024260005772013-04-21T19:33:42.428-05:002013-04-21T19:33:42.428-05:00Nuclear energy has always been possible

Also a threat to Western Christian civilization.Giraffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05556306156373942923noreply@blogger.com
