    Did Jesus baptize with the Holy Spirit?

    (kriss;39042) Upon belief and repentance you are baptisted in the holy spiritWater is only symbolic of washing away of sin in the living waters of Jesus Christremember the thief on the cross who was told Christ would see him in heaven that very day he believed and repented and was baptised by...

    The Holy Spirit and all that he does

    Thanks for all of the great responses. Keep them coming. We can never have too much of the Holy Spirit.1 Corinthians 2: 6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 No, we speak of God's...

    Convince the Atheist Part 1: Jesus

    (The Duke of Vandals;38446) Of course there can be. I thought Christians were fond of touting how people convert to their relgion?Why? Why aren't other things that are obviously impossible a matter of faith?This is an ad hominem attack against me rather than my argument. You're not supporting...

    This will be controversial but...

    (Kimshi42;38443) Is it possible that Ham and the sons of Ham in Genesis are today's people of African descent? The bible says Ham was cursed (some versions say with cursed with darkness) after he saw his father naked. What's happening today seems to correlate to the biblical account: many parts...

    Saved

    (waynemlj;38321) Hi Wayne Murray,You need to spend a bit more time reading the gospels and the letters of Paul in order to settle this matter for yourself.You see, salvation is justification as we hear in Romans 8:1-2, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus...

    Convince the Atheist Part 1: Jesus

    There can be no convincing. Accepting Jesus Christ is a matter of faith. Even if I could convince you that he was indeed God and I think that we could do a credible job, it would prove nothing. Skepticism does not allow anyone who does not want to believe to be convinced. As long as anyone is...

    Jesus Christ lived in India?

    This is like the Da Vinci code. It is intended to bring disrepute to the good name and character of Jesus Christ. It should be filed in the waste bin of history along with all of the other lies written over the years.I get my facts about Jesus Christ from God's fact book, the Holy Bible. I use...

    Anybody out there worried about the U.S. presidential election?

    I am worried about the American election. I think that everyone on the globe should be. I have no vote. I am not American.America has very serious problems facing it. The debt is staggering. The dollar is collapsing. Recession is predicted. The war has no end in sight. Terrorism is on the rise...

    Do Christians have to vote?

    Voting is an expression of our rights as citizens. If it was an obligation that every person vote as it is in some countries (Australia for example), then we could make a case that it would be wrong not to vote. However, that isn't the case in the U.S. and most democracies.Sometimes not voting...

    You are worried about Obama but you elected 2 Bushes??

    Also look at what "conservatives" have done to the economy. Can it get any worse?Bill Clinton had his faults, but he was more conservative fiscally that the current administration. Now there are calls to elect a real conservative. McCain apparently doesn't cut it. Weren't we all told that Bush...

    Is Man Basically Good or Basically Evil?

    Man is basically selfish. This is the nature of sin. It leads us to do things that harm us and those around us.We have the capacity for tremendous good and tremendous evil. The good comes with the bad. God knew this when he gave us free will, but the pay off was worth it. He knows that we will...

    Why Must There Be One TRUE Religion? Why Is It Christianity?

    (Two;38092) Christianities roots stem from this...Practically all holidays were taken from the Pagans during their persecution by Christians. And Judaism is wrong because? Other than what you mentioned of course which I agree with....... There is nothing wrong with Judaism. There was nothing...

    Can an evolutionist also be a Christian?

    (kalixx;37952) I think you missed my point, Dunamite. Briefly, how can an evolutionist believe that death is the punishment for sin when it is all the time simply a natural process that existed even whilst humankind was in a stage of early development where it wouldn't even concieve such...

    William F. Buckley Dead at 82

    He was a very bright and clear thinking man. He could turn a clever phrase better than anybody. He will be missed by conservatives and liberals alike. He had universal respect among friends and adversaries. He wasn't someone to mince words and you had best know your stuff if you were debating...

    Anybody out there worried about the U.S. presidential election?

    (tim_from_pa;38051) Sigh..... I fear I agree here. I even believe the superbowl is rigged! And that goes for anything where big money is involved. This nation has gotten so far away from what the founding fathers intended.Even if my candidate, Ron Paul, would get in and actually practiced what...

    Any Linux users out there?

    Linux and OS/X have a common root. Both are forks in Unix. OS/X is based on BSD. Linux is older than OS/X. You probably use Linux, but don't know it. Linux is the backbone of the internet. Most servers are Linux. Many of the biggest companies from Google to Ebay and Amazon are Linux based. In...

    Anybody out there worried about the U.S. presidential election?

    You place too much importance on the person. It does not matter who. The office of the president is already filled. The face may change, but nothing else will.The president is owned. He or she is bought and paid for. Big business runs the elections providing all of the funding. They control the...

    Anybody out there worried about the U.S. presidential election?

    (His By Grace;33882) I have been receiving e-mails that are very disturbing; particulary in regards to one of the candidates who has a Muslim background. Is anyone else fearful that he may be elected? Snopes has verified that he did not swear in for his senate position using the Bible, but the...
