Thank you, thank you!! Now that I feel old because of my age, kids, and the overall age of CB, I'll try to enjoy it! ;)

Love these reports when God compels someone to randomly serve or contact another! Matthew 10:29-31 HCSB Aren't two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's consent. But even the hairs of your head have all been counted. So don't be afraid...

And it's not what many would expect. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/11/upshot/the-north-south-divide-on-two-parent-families.html?abt=0002&abg=1

Well, it very much does. I'm not sure there's a purely empirical argument for using the KJV. I'll admit that much, at least. Choices are good, but choices can also be misleading or even paralyzing as having so many choices enables everyone to fence off their little quarters of Bible...

Then you assert that everything God's purposed is fully knowable by any man or women, right? It's an honest question. How do you reconcile the question of theodicy, then?

I'm not sure we want (or should) to include all of the various more radical forms of Pentecostalism and syncretism in the Southern hemisphere in the umbrella of Christianity. There are a number of very good and orthodox Pentecostals and so on in that part of the world who I look to for...

Mark 2:17 ESV And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Yes. One of the reasons I opted for Reftagger was the nice popup tool for verses. It's a great way to display the passage without adding more text to read, plus we're going to enable default version choice in the future. The thing I don't like as a webmaster/administrator is that it takes you...

http://mosaicmagazine.com/observation/2015/05/why-the-king-james-version-of-the-bible-remains-the-best/ I found myself in agreement with this author. You see me mostly quote from either the HCSB or NIV. I generally flip around based upon certain readings between those two, the NLT, the ESV, and...

Mark 13:20 KJV And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

2 Peter 3:8 HCSB Dear friends, don’t let this one thing escape you: With the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. Also that comes to mind because it's easy to take the literal day in our terms and think that it means something much more compact. Believers...

I personally love RefTagger. It makes me feel like not having to copy and paste every verse I shared in a post. I do wish that Bible.com or BibleGateway had a tool like it. I prefer their websites to Biblia though. We're trying to improve readability.

It starts "simple" even though it's not easy. At crux (pun intended), God must be smarter than me. I've checked once or twice and I am not God. Thus, I am not privy to the reasons for everything if there indeed is a God. That said, I work from the framework that if God is smarter than me, than...

ATP, I think you're getting hung up on some things. Without rehashing some of the (oft) quoted verses here, one must distinguish between a day and a season. For instance, one of the favorite passages of Matthew 24 is Matthew 24:6-8: You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it...

Moved to Eschatology & Prophecy Forum.

We are not going to eliminate RefTagger. It just no longer has to parse and render on the main page, which speeds it up a bit. I will see what we can do. :)

Welcome to the community Deborah! We are happy to have you with us! :)

We felt it was getting to be that time, so with some input from the team, I reorganized the forums. If you see anything missing...well it's not. Just kidding. I am open to some further suggestions, although we have a couple more forums that will be added soon. I also did away with the...

First Off: Welcome! I know that it might be slightly condescending to provide a newbie guide to our newbies, but I also know that the excitement of joining the community combined with the uncertainty of new buttons to press is like a kid hitting Chuck E. Cheese’s for the first time! So, we...

I have to praise God for creating Christianity Board and debunking the myth that only bad things and silicon businesses come from college dorm rooms. My life has changed so much since we launched way back in 2009, but my-oh-my -- God brought this place a very long way from it's humble...
