in the wake of richard dawkins bestseller 'the god delusion' (which i and many others here have read) there has been a good deal of rebuttal from the 'faith' community.
now a new book is out published by alister mcgrath, professor of theology at oxford university.
it is entitled 'the dawkins delusion'.. has anyone read it or ordered it yet?

g'day everyone, i am just curious to k. now if anyone has found another religion, which they believe has gods backing.
if you have i would love to hear about it .
thanks for looking at this post, cassie.
HI Cass,
I hear Relgion is a snare and a racket. I believe Chuck Russell said that. And I believe that now to be true. I left an organized religion and now find myself feeling better that I can approach God on my owe without some group directing me. Like the scriptures say keep knocking and the door will be open, so don't stop looking for answers just rely on God to direct your steps.

in mark 13:30, matt.
24:34, and matt.
23:36 the bible makes the following statement: .
Hi Morocco, You asked about this. Not to say that I am a bible scholar just a simple man. But I believe that Matt. 16:28 is fulfilled in Matt. 17 when some of those present heard Jesus and witnesses him in kingdom glory at his transfiguratiion.
Luke 9:27, Mark 9:1, Matt. 16:28
“I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."
Now in these scriptures Jesus is speaking of the people “standing here” or those listening to him speak. That's pretty hard to subject to a future tense. Perhaps, though, it could be understood in a different light. It said “before they see the kingdom”, maybe that was speaking about seeing it in a vision or having prophetic dreams. Perhaps it meant something other than seeing the kingdom coming to earth.
Matthew 17
1 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
To those who wonder how my faith is I am doing fine. It was a great adjustment to make after following an organization like the JW's, but than again I was trained to follow orders in the Navy. The JW's were a good fit becuase I was good in doing my job. So my stay in the JW's was like an extended service for the Navy. but as a different serviceman. I still working out kinks in my faith. But I know in time I will be fine and I know I won't be perfect, but I will be happy now that I am truly free to practice my owe christian faith without any man made organization telling me what to believe or do.

My wife has been keeping me up to date on what goes on in the forum. I finally decided to join myself. I am not as knowledgeable in the scriptures as my wife. But I do believe in Christ and the Bible and I am still learning. I was a MS for about 5 years. We left 3 years ago. As we joined together, we left together although my wife had doubts before me. I look forward to participating on the board. Just to forwarn you all, I am not near as NICE as my wife is. Like they say, your other half is your better half! And she is the best half I have.
So being ex military on a submarine, I just want to say, I never met a "real" athiest when we had a situation with flooding.
