    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Colossians 3:12-15 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above...

    Majority Text, Textus Receptus or Critical Text?

    This can be a barn burner of a topic, so be sure that we will moderate it closely, but which manuscript family do you favor and why? Let's try to avoid saying bad things about others, but you are welcome to list reasons why you distrust or choose one over the other.

    Lessons Learned from the Episcopals to the United Methodists Blog Article

    http://timothytennent.com/2012/09/27/4-things-united-methodists-can-learn-from-the-episcopal-church/ I'd submit that this is a lesson for all Christians - not just those in denominations. The line "courage begets courage" really hit home for me. Our faith is a very social one - and the body...

    Conservatism's Civil War?

    Over the past 8 years, I've begun to define my own core beliefs a little more in detail. I've grown up a Conservative, and never really deviated from the path, but I've had no issues voting for a reasonable Democrat or Moderate. I have an independent streak in me and I've recognized the...

    Christian Character and Good Arguments

    http://www.whitehorseinn.org/blog/2012/09/08/christian-character-and-good-arguments/ This article probably says what I've been trying to say better than I could say it. I'm guilty on this one, but I see a TON of it here at CyB: All in all, taking the considerations of this article to heart...

    Does the Bible Version or Translation Really Matter?

    Does the Bible version or translation that you use really matter? For KJVO'ers, I'm just honestly not that interested in your arguments here. I wanted to start by saying that so we'll have a mutal understanding that this will not evolve into a debate about the KJV vs everyone else. I have use...

    Sanctification. What is it?

    In your own words, what is sanctification? (I have my reasons for asking this, which will become clearer over time.)

    [Suggested Read] How to Miss the Point: A Guide to Dimwitted Discourse

    I see a number of these things taking place in the community here. Hopefully it can get us all thinking about how we handle discourse, debate, and even simple fellowship here on CyB. #1 is a great start. (This post is done tongue-in-cheek, FYI.)...

    What Happens @ The End?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LimVvo4fgOY&feature=youtu.be This is actually from another church in my small town. It's a pretty neat testimony as a man struggles with his realization that life is waning. He is a Doctor of Vetinary Medicine who has cancer. He really has set his priorities...

    Is America a Christian or Post-Christian Nation?

    http://spectator.org/archives/2012/08/06/america-christian-or-post-chri There has obviously been a good bit of ink spilled on this discussion, but the paragraph that resonates with me comes at the end of this sobering assessment. For the record, I think the assessment that we are a...
