Greetings all, and blessings in Christ! This is a continuation thread from one I started recently on the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant. In it, there was the suggestion that the servant of the Lord could be given over to "tormentors" if he refused to walk in forgiveness. Arguments were...

Greetings all. My beliefs on this parable may bother some, if not many, but I only seek to interpret and teach the word for what it says. Specifically, I believe this parable teaches that those who do not walk in forgiveness will have their forgiveness from God rescinded. This interpretation...

Let me say first off that this is not a set up question where I'm already fully decided on the answer and just want to know what everyone else's opinion is. I am definitely leaning in a certain direction, but the following is an honest inquiry for input. In Galatians 4:3, Colossians 2:8, and...

22 months of investigation, dozens of witnesses subpoenaed, several given prison terms, 24 hour round-the-clock reporting on the obvious criminality of the President, and after all that bluster Mueller has now just admitted he found no evidence of Trump's collision with Russia... Not wanting...

In Hebrews 4:9, believers in Christ were told that there remains a Sabbath rest unto the people of God, and in v.11 that they were to labor to enter into that rest. What was it/ is it, and how were they/ are we to labor to enter into it?

Gonna be taking a break from the forums till after the 25th (at least), so I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 2018 was a great year for me, and a big part of that was discovering Christianity Board and all the friends I have here in Christ. God bless you...

Accidentally posted this in Apologetics when it need to be in Debate, so I will post it here now: Greetings all, and blessings in name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I was recently in a discussion and this subject came up. I'm certain this has been debated at this forum already, but since I was not...

Greetings all, and blessings in the Lord Jesus Christ. I was recently in a discussion and this subject came up. I'm certain this has been debated at this forum already, but since I was not a part of those discussions let me just highlight some passages I believe contradict this teaching. We can...

I watch it three or four times every year starting in December, as I think it is one of the most contemplative stories every written outside scripture. Always makes me take account of how much I am devoting my life to the Lord with each passing year, and about how fleeting life really is. I'm...

WARNING: This thread will contain graphic images of the beheadings Muslims practice, not only against Christians, but infidels in general, and even their own children should they choose to denounce Islam. View at your own discretion. These images will not be for the squeamish. But I am posting...

What is the reward of the workman described in 1 Timothy 5:17; financial renumeration or merely bodily sustenance and warmth? I have several reasons to believe it is the latter, and we can discuss the scriptural ones as we go. But one additional factor to start with is that I take the Didache...

Greetings all. Wanted to create a thread to discuss this with everyone, but especially those who believe the Lord is done with Israel in the prophetic scheme of things. I am sending an invite especially to those I know who hold this position (sorry if I forgot anyone), but all are invited to...

Was just posting, and I did it again! One of my worst typos, which I loathe, but I invariably have this habit of typing the word "beats" instead of "beast" (just did it again), and if I don't catch it I show the world just how much of a nincompoop I really am. I have others, but I'll start...

Ever wondered what the disciples were wondering about when they asked Jesus, "Where Lord?" in Luke 17:37? @Naomi25 and I had been discussing this question on another thread recently, and I think I finally have the proper answer now. But let me first quote the passage in full from Luke's gospel...

Greetings all. I wanted to see what our theologians have to say on this question. I actually have my own interpretation which I can share later, but I wanted to see what sort of responses I got to the following question: What was the driving point of Stephen's speech in Acts, Chapter 7? If you...

Just checked in for a second to see if anything looked interesting and check messages. Found this thread: Who Started That Lie? Didn't Paul teach to avoid such discussions? (2 Timothy 2:16-21). I'm not saying it in condemnation of anyone who replied, but I wouldn't even respond. For one I...

Blessings in Christ to all who read this. The following are some helpful tips I've learned to going on a long fast, and I not only wanted to get them down for my own sake but for anyone who attempts to do it in the future. For starters, don't attempt one simply to impress yourself, or God, or...

"And Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him." (Genesis 5:24) This is not a condemning thread. I'm only looking for honest answers, and I will start with my own confession. Do you walk with God during the day, i.e. in your daily life? If so, how do you experience His Presence...

Greetings everyone. I find this a crucial question where online interaction between believers in Christ is concerned, so I wanted to open a formal thread to debate the question: Does scripture endorse being derisive to one another? The word essentially means being disrespectful to them by using...

I will preface this thread by saying I don't normally get involved with political discussions because they're so divisive, and I don't want to generate more strife than is already there. But I was reading something posted by Rollo on a political thread this morning that I thought was...
