| 8cfe686 | the greatest miracle of all--the creation of the universe out of nothing--has already occurred, which means Genesis 1:1 and every other miracle in the Bible is believable. | Norman L. Geisler | ||

| 5adac58 | chance" is not a cause. Chance is a word that we use to describe mathematical possibilities. It has no power of its own. Chance is nothing. It's what rocks dream about." | Norman L. Geisler | ||

| d95e828 | Third, the prohibition against questioning religious beliefs is also an absolute moral position. Why shouldn't we question religious beliefs? Would it be immoral to do so? And if so, by whose standard? Do pluralists have any good reasons supporting their belief that we ought not question religious beliefs, or is it just their own personal opinion that they want to impose on the rest of us? Unless they can give us good reasons for such a mor.. | Norman L. Geisler | ||

| 9212376 | Romans 5:19--If all are made righteous by Christ, why aren't all saved? | Norman L. Geisler | ||
| 179bcd2 | Romans 9--Is this chapter contrary to God's desire for all persons to be saved? | Norman L. Geisler | ||
| 3ff76f1 | Romans 9:8--Is God responsible for hardening Pharaoh's heart? | Norman L. Geisler | ||
| 24fc872 | Romans 9:13--This verse seems to teach that God does not love everybody. | Norman L. Geisler | ||
| 8ea7d48 | Romans 9:17--How can Pharaoh be free if God hardened his heart? | Norman L. Geisler | ||
| fd72d5f | All moral choices are free choices. No one can be praised or blamed for an act in which they had no free choice. If they were forced to do it, then they can't get either credit or blame. Hence if God destroyed all freedom, He would be destroying all possibility to love, praise, and worship Him - to say nothing of destroying all possibility of our enjoying His or other people's love, praise, and sacrifice on our behalf. | Norman L. Geisler | ||
| e18779a | Simply put, that we don't know a good purpose for some evil does not mean there is no good purpose for it. There are many things we don't know. And there are many things we once did not know but now do know. So it should be expected that in the future we will discover good purposes for things for which we do not now know a good purpose. | Norman L. Geisler | ||
| 970c848 | People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof but on the basis of what they find attractive. --BLAISE PASCAL | Norman L. Geisler | ||
| 7728e6a | Truth is not affected by the attitude of the one professing it. | Norman L. Geisler | ||
| 8285ed0 | regardless of what the real truth is concerning religion and morality, our lives are greatly affected by it today and perhaps even in eternity. | Norman L. Geisler | ||
| af81682 | Take an illustration from science. Evolutionists once claimed there were some one hundred eighty vestigial organs (with no known function) left over from our animal ancestry. Over the last century or so, this list has shrunk to six! And now there are known functions even for these. More recently some scientists were speaking of "junk genes," but now there are good reasons for believing they have a special function - playing, for example, a .. | Norman L. Geisler | ||
| 576b188 | Romans 5:12-21--Does Paul teach in this passage that everyone will be saved? | Norman L. Geisler | ||

| 7e934d6 | With a curt nod, Vane strode in. And stopped dead. Patience was in the hall, waiting- the sight literally stole his breath. As his gaze, helplessly, slid over her, over the soft green merino pelisse, severely cut and snugly fitted, its upstanding collar framing her face, over the tan gloves and half boots, over the pale green skirts peeking beneath the pelisse's hem, Vane felt something inside him tighten, click, and lock. Breathing was sud.. | fashion feminine-beauty patience-and-vane patience-debbington physical-beauty | Stephanie Laurens | |

| dad51cc | Vane held the reins of his desire in a grip of iron and refused to let his demons loose. Deep, primal instincts urged him on; experience held him back. She'd never yielded her mouth to any man, never shared her lips willingly. He knew that absolutely, sensed the truth in her untutored response, read it in her lack of guile. But she was rising to him, her passion, her desire, answering his call, sweet as the dew on a crisp spring morning, vi.. | first-time kissing passion patience-and-vane patience-debbington vane-cynster | Stephanie Laurens | |

| 0d58ad3 | He'd drawn her as close as propriety allowed; her green skirts swished against his boots. She was all woman, soft and curvaceous, mere inches away; he grew harder simply at the thought. The breeze, wafting past, lifted her perfume to his face- honeysuckle, roses, and that indefinable scent that evoked every hunter's instinct he possessed. Abruptly, he cleared his throat. "Nothing happened last evening?" It was an effort to lift his voice fr.. | bonnet flirtation patience-and-vane scent | Stephanie Laurens | |
| d1e1c07 | She should, of course, feel scandalized, or at the very least, shocked. Yet whenever she allowed herself to recall all that had happened, sweet pleasure washed through her, leaving her skin tingling and her breasts deliciously warm. Her "shock" was exciting, thrilling, an enticing reaction, not one of revulsion. She should feel guilty, yet whatever guilt she possessed was swamped beneath a compulsion to know, to experience, and an intense r.. | patience-and-vane patience-debbington sensations | Stephanie Laurens | |
| 8d809e3 | With a silent mew, Myst stood, stretched, then padded forward to twine about his leg. Vane reached down and rubbed his fingers over the sleek head, then ran his nails down her spine. Myst arched, tail stiffening; the rumble of her purr reached Vane. It also reached Patience; she glanced down. "Myst!" she hissed. "Stop bothering Mr. Cynster." "She's not bothering me." Capturing Patience's gaze, Vane added: "I enjoy making females purr." | myst patience-and-vane | Stephanie Laurens | |
| 28ec2dd | His rake's smile returning, Vane stood and strolled toward her. "Speaking of performance, would you like me to carry you to lunch?" She wouldn't- narrowing her eyes at him, Patience would have given half her fortune to avoid the sensation of being scooped so easily into his arms, and carried away so effortlessly. His touch was unnerving, distracting; it made her think of things she really should not. And as for the sensation of being helple.. | Stephanie Laurens | ||
| 0145e0c | I assume 'elegant gentlemen,' such as you, learn such useful skills very early in life." "Actually, no." Straight-faced, Vane reached for her pins. "Us rakes-of-the-first-order..." Dropping pins left and right, he set her hair cascading down. With a satisfied smile, he caught her about the waist and drew her hard against him. "We," he said, looking into her eyes, "spend our time concentrating on rather different skills- like letting ladies'.. | rake | Stephanie Laurens | |
| feaeb31 | Patience looked at Vane and saw him dismount- by bringing his leg over the saddlebow and sliding to the ground, landing on his feet. She blinked, and he was by her side. His hands closed about her waist. She almost gasped when he lifted her from the saddle as if she weighed no more than a child. He didn't swing her down, but slowly lowered her to earth, setting her on her feet beside the mare. Less than a foot from him. He held her between .. | sensations vane-cynster | Stephanie Laurens | |
| d186382 | Are you planning to stay?" He looked down at her. "That," he stated, his voice very low, "depends largely on you." Patience looked into his grey eyes- and froze. Every muscle was paralyzed, all the way to her toes. The idea that he was amusing himself, without any real intent, died- slain by the look in his eyes. The intent in his eyes. It could've have been clearer had he put it into words." | Stephanie Laurens | ||
| af51b08 | Her gaze on Vane, Patience wished she could see his eyes. His expression was unreadable. Shoulders propped against the stone arch, arms folded cross his chest, he watched her like a hawk. A brooding, potentially menacing hawk. Or a wolf anticipating a meal. | predator vane-cynster | Stephanie Laurens | |
| cbedb25 | She'd been expecting him to do so and had planned her revenge. She tipped forward as he lifted her; the shift in her weight had him taking a half step back, then he instinctively locked his legs and steadied...but by then she'd placed herself in the same space, so close that he had to ease her down his body, more or less breast to chest. She'd thought she'd been prepared for the jolt to her senses. She'd been wrong. It was searing, like a s.. | Stephanie Laurens | ||

L'exasperation brilla dans les yeux d'Honoria ; il secoua la tete. -- Je parle de ce soir. Du reste, il ne doutait pas. Son exasperation ne disparut .. | Stephanie Laurens | ||
| e4f90ba | Hauling in a quick breath, she held it, stretched upward, shut her eyes, and fleetingly touched her lips to his. They were as hard as she'd imagined, very like sculpted marble. Sensation flared at the brief contact; her lips tingled, then throbbed. Patience blinked her eyes wide as she lowered her heels to earth. And refocused on his lips. She saw the ends curve upward, heard his low, wickedly teasing laugh. "Still not right.
