I had a friend in Brisbane, Australia named Steve who's had a hard time of things over the last two years. He lost his job right after his son was born for fighting with a coworker.Steve and I would talk for hours via IM about cars and the difference/similarities between Americans and...

I guess I'm a little embarassed that I don't know this already, but what's the difference/definition between/of the terms apologetic/evangelical/charismatic?

All cults have certain characteristics in common. The cults that come to mind at the moment are the Catholic Church, LDS (and all other branches of Mormonism), Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Branch Davidians, etc.

So Scientology isn't the correct answer?

(kriss;3021) Dad of 3Its o.k. if you disagree with me its happened a least once or twice before in my life (lol) I just don't understand what your disagreeing with the fact the bible warns against tattoos or the fact that they can cause others to judge you unfairly? Yes, this is an old thread...

Okay, good. The silence (as it were) was deafening, as if no one wanted to point out that I might've made a faux pas of the largest sort. I recently went to a Mormon jamboree at the local church, which, of course, was nothing more than a membership drive disguised as a carnival. I only went...

Everybody knows that the Garden of Eden existed where Independence, Missouri stands today.

Howdy! I'm Jim and I live S/E of Denver. I'm 34 and have a handsome son, 4, and two beautiful daughters, almost 2, and 8 months. They are the lights of my life and I now can't even remember a time without them.I grew up Catholic and gradually realized that Catholicism and Christianity aren't...

I'm not trying to offend anyone, but is it a good time to point out that the Pope is Catholic and not Christian, and that he therefore doesn't speak for mainstream Christianity?

I disagree with Kriss. The only mention of tattoos in the Bible tells us "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you, I am the Lord." This is the KJV, given to me by a Mormon missionary.:naughty: I take it as a reference to ancient...
