Some friends of ours adopted a little boy (from China) with a cleft palette after God put that calling upon their hearts. Today is the first of what has become a series of surgeries for the little guy, so please keep him in your prayers! Pray that the surgeons will work with precision and that...

Helen, I do not see where having a cross on your phone would be considered blasphemy. It's a bit of a case of the wrong sin syndrome here, but it would be considered idolatry should you choose to worship it. I really don't think that's at play here when you glance at it to remind you of the...

Praying for the Spirit to make his presence known to her mom, you, your girlfriend and her family! I am very saddened to hear this, but this is a struggle that seems to grip a lot of lives. Encourage your girlfriend to get the emotion out, but also believe in God in that he can turn any...

BA in English here, so not terribly studied but would love to read your works! :)

This is getting too personal and has deviated from the original op. Topic closed. Thanks for your participation in the discussion.

I'm game. Any rich donors I don't know about here? ;) :D In all seriousness, I would be for it should we ever have the resources. I think it's something needed for Christians in the coming times.

TBH, I would be all for a Protestant version of this. I located several monasteries here in my own little state and have seriously thought about a visit or a retreat, but they're Catholic or Eastern Orthodox. I've read some of the works of notable believers in this type of thing, and while we...

Brother, there are a lot of members here who have been through varying trials and things. Some of them have been with us while these things were transpiring. We might not always know the details, but we are always here!! I thank you for your faith, for sticking it out and for being willing to...

Ah, I never thought I'd say this, but I miss the weekly singing of the Doxology! Welcome aboard, we're glad to have you. I look forward to both seeing you around, and maybe doing some iron sharpening. Lord knows, I need it! :)

Aaron, you have in no way substantiated this claim. Any time you are pressed for evidence, you merely infer this status as a negative statement, and that's not evidence. You're making a claim here that seriously challenges both the traditional and academic histories of the church, so you're...

This is where being a day behind stinks. Nonetheless, happy now belated birthday to everyone's favorite Super Moderator! We couldn't be here without her, and are grateful for everything (and that's many things!) that she brings to Christianity Board!

Zebra, you also have to look at how many times Jesus prays to the Father. It's gets a little weird to presume that he's talking to himself in the Oneness sense. I'd really recommend spending some time in the first few ecumenical Church councils up through Chalcedon.

Just a couple things for a soft disagreement on this. First, Jesus talked about money more than salvation, heaven, or many other topics we would consider essential to the faith. It is indeed indicative that where we put our money reveals our faith, so yes it should certainly go to the poor and...

Levi, re-welcome to the community! ;) I hope both your academic pursuits and your pursuit of God pay off!

Posting much of the same content over and over is not indicative of a desire to have a hearty and robust debate. Topic closed.

Ssshhhhh, the moment you mention you know things...technical things...they will come and send you messages. ;) Brandon, you may want to go ahead and put Angelina on ignore now... JK, she's not bad and tries hard. She pretty much asks good questions that show levels of thought. :-p

Try it now, you're on the old skin for some reason.

When understanding where someone else is at, I always try and work from this passage: Matthew 7:13-16 HCSB Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who go through it. How narrow is the gate and difficult the road...

Welcome to the community ATP! We are glad to have you posting with us.
