Catholic vs Baptist vs Other denominations

What is Christianity

I've understood that many different ways in my life... Jesus made a radical change in the image of God. The Hebrews thought they weren't following the law closely enough and started clamping down on the letter... not the spirit of the law. Jesus repeatedly informs us through the Gospels that...

God is the good guy and Satan is the bad guy, right ??

Well, at least God is stright up with man... and in the Biblical record ( and through human history ) we have the habit of thumbing our nose at God. Thus the stories that are made reference to. There was/is clear reference to the consequnses of self-serving behavior, on the occasions that the...

I'd think seriously on cutting back to an xp2500+ and going for one of the new graphics boards is I had $800 and all that. The graphics board would double the gaming performance. The 64-3200 ???? I'm not sure that much in comparison (over a 2500 XP)
