I feel the same way, I had put some thought into just what the original church was like and taught about it at one of our home churches one night. You can read it HERE if you want. I am inclined to think that we are sort of way off base sometimes. I had heard of a Korean pastor coming over to...

That is really what a fast is after all, what it all comes down to. Deny yourself. Of course I don't doubt that fasting originated so that we could really bring ourselves to realize that without God, we are nothing. This is a practice that goes back to the earliest recorded Biblical times.

(winsome;36517) sevver,I have re-read my post.Please accept my apologies for putting it in such a confrontational way. I tend to do that, but I am trying to reform.winsome No problem, I suffer from the same disease. lol

Thanks, something to seriously ponder... it is nice having a place to challenge, and be challenged. Hopefully I will never presume that I have grown enough.

I don't see communion as having anything at all to do with taking a piece of bread and juice. Communion is eating with others, fellowship, love, worship of God and being together in Christ. Our church does communion with the sacraments, and I take it as a time to thank Jesus for what he has...

http://www.biblegateway.com/This is what I use, I would bet that there are others though.

Mainly what I was trying to say, is that church is not a building, it is right where you are. You are the church, you are part of the body, Christ is the head, the body of Christ is the church. Going to church everyday will not get you saved. Saying repetitive prayers will not get you into...

what I would like to know, is why should it only be Sunday? Church is us, believers in Christ, believers in the Grace that saves us. Church is our getting together in fellowship, building relationships and loving each other. Church has nothing to do with Mass, it has nothing to do with a...

I honestly feel that believers need to learn to live a little. Christianity has absolutely nothing at all to do with being stuffy. We were made to celebrate and worship our God. I have a few friends who are believers that praise God whenever they can, they know that it is God after all who is...

Mathew 10:14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.You attempt to acquire forgiveness. If you can not receive it then you can move on. If it is you who needs to be forgiven, you have to try to make it right. I...

Yemshot, I enjoyed your post. I am right there now, at least I hope. I am reading the Bible and doing studies on it right now. All we can hope for is to be righteous and responsible. And ultimately to be able to answer the final question, what did you do with Jesus?God Bless

What is missing from Catholicism is Grace. They feel that it is by acts, tithing, confession, and living by the Ten Commandments that they are saved. They fail to teach that we are able to, through Christ, pray for forgiveness of Sins. There are ritualistic prayers in Catholicism, you have to...

Catholicism... Ah, there is a flame war in the future here. I can't imagine how no one is ever willing to listen, no body is ever willing to look into anything on their own. The problem is the religion, they have convinced them that their way is the truth, and have never encouraged them to...

Welcome to the board, I am truly glad I found this place. Seems like a well maintained board, with a wealth of knowledge and knowledgeable users.

I honestly feel that a new Christian should begin with the reading of the New Testament. I think that it should be understood before anything else happens. Out of that, should be a reading of the Old Testament, I honestly don't think that I could have kept reading the Old Testament had I not...

I believe we are in fact getting closer to the tribulation, but I see things getting SO much worse before that happens. And who knows, that could happen very quickly, all that would need to happen is for some wack-o to launch a nuke, and world chaos would definitely ensue. From there I am sure...

I am sure that it has something to do with our planetary disregard somehow. Even though there are the save the water campaigns and such in our schools, and the promotion of eco-friendliness, and other related "moral" ideals. As for the wasting of water.... We use it, it either goes back into...

The way I see it, if it were that important to him, it is only $15000. If pressured, I am sure that just about anyone could save that up pretty quickly. I took the Dave Ramsey course, and he asked first if we could save up $20000, after everyone said no, he said if it would save our child's...

I also like to think that it had to do with the fact that at that moment, right before his death, he took upon himself all of our sins. And being sinful, God turned his back on him for a time, after which, his death was the ultimate sacrifice, which brings us into a new covenant. So, When he...

My two girls just got new bunnies too. Twin sisters (I hope). They came with a functioning cage, but I plan on building a new one once I get caught up on preparing for another real baby. Should be here in about a month, or less... The other two were about four to five weeks early, so this...
