    If Peter founded the Roman church, why then did Paul write so much to them?

    And what is the basis for the claim that Peter founded the church in Rome?

    Changing verses to conform to forever punishment theology

    In this thread I will demonstrate how various verses can be changed to conform to the theology of forever punishment. Luke 2:10 ESV 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. changed to... 10 And the angel said...

    Do you know any faithful Christian couples who became divorced?

    I don't recall knowing such people but I've only been a faithful Christian for 7 years. Have you known any?

    Have you ever visited https://www.religiousforums.com/ ?

    I did. It didn't go well. What I discovered is that they have a GAZILLION obscure rules that are seemingly enforced based on the political identity of the posters involved. It is administered by a bunch of leftist atheists. I ended up dropping out because it is NOT a place for fair and free...

    Has a Christian essentially DENIED the faith if they're constantly jerks to others?

    Probably. The two most important things that Jesus wants are for people to love God and to love one another. As Jesus said, what one does to another they also do to him! One person knows the scriptures by heart and perfectly understands all scripture yet, they frequently belittle and...

    The sordid life of Pastor Ted Haggard

    Very interesting. I took one look at Ted and knew he wasn't right.

    How do you reconcile "the gates of Hell will NOT prevail" with Satan supposedly taking most of mankind to Hell with him?

    Does that not seem to be a massive contradiction? @St. SteVen @FaithWillDo

    Either God is or he isn't (by Loyal F. Hurley)

    Well said! Either God Is, or He Isn’t Either God is all-powerful, or He is not. Either God is all-wise, or He is not. Either God is all-loving, or He is not. Either God’s will is sovereign, or it is not. Either God’s grace is infinite, or it is not. Isn’t it time for the church of Christ to...

    "The ultimate journey is the search for happiness"

    That's what someone posted to Facebook. It sounds like they're an atheist and I truly feel sorry for them. They don't know that the "ultimate journey" is to God.

    The ability to love and be loved is God's greatest gift to us

    I saw a video of two little girls crying in joy because their parents gave them a puppy. What the parents actually gave them was the opportunity to love and be loved. They will love that dog forever and when their dog leaves this world they will cry in despair (also an expression of love)...

    If people are thrown into the Lake of Fire for ETERNITY, how then do they appear outside the gates of New Jerusalem in Revelation 22?

    Revelation 22:14-15 esv 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes,[=AT09UpkFtD-OWeR4dp666wmofJruGFXN6rPwMxmYcH5-kSD-FaPIHwP099p_9M64AwPNXLhoG2outr31tYCO99VqhA-K8qJdI4djCHX1NrSFDxGHKnV5dqzfmsH7bw-nzYfPE2ADKR-7WENzB8o_8SMI76kpwPLjUC8ayYk']c] so that they may have the right to the tree of life and...

    How can your tears be wiped away (Rev 21:4) by Jesus when he is simultaneously...

    ...torturing your child (for example) FOREVER in "Hell"? Revelation 21:4 CLNT 4 And He will be brushing away every tear from their eyes. And death will be no more, nor mourning, nor clamor, nor misery; they will be no more, for the former things passed away." @St. SteVen

    Do you ever offer to help others to learn about Jesus only to be rejected?

    My great-niece has a son that's nearly two. I found a nice, age-appropriate, Christian storybook for toddlers. It's a sturdy book that can't be torn apart, as toddlers are prone to do. Anyway, I asked my niece if she would like to have it for her son. She said "We're not really religious"...

    Jesus has devised more than one way to bring people to him

    Mainstream Christianity says that the ONLY way to salvation is to accept Jesus in THIS lifetime. However, the verse below is evidence that that belief is inaccurate. Notice the plural in "devices" in the following verse. 2 Samuel 14:14 14 for we do surely die, and [are] as water which...

    Why do so many of you insult fellow Christians that express a different understanding?

    So many here are what I would describe as legalist zealots that don't believe in Jesus's commandment to love one another. When I read their insults, against me or another, I glean that they lack discernment and usually put them on "ignore". If you're quoting me and not getting a response, it's...
