    A Reasonable Faith

    Like these thoughts! Listened to an RC Sproul podcast earlier today, and he was addressed Rationalism and how rationality will get thrown out in a baby and bath water situation. Unfortunately, some of the anti-intellectual thought is probably deserved because certain fundamentalists willingly...

    Hi guys, I'm new.

    Welcome to the community, Jacob! You are in the right place for being grateful for what Christ has done! He's done that to more than a few of us around these parts. ;)

    Tithing - "How to" not "whether"

    Open up the New Testament and count. Jesus talks about money more than salvation. He addressed the topic more than heaven and hell combined. Where we put our money, which is in reality on us as stewardship from God, matters. You can summarize much of the teaching of Jesus on money by simply...

    Matthew 28:19 is spurious

    Moved to the Unorthodox forum because this particular assertion is tied to further unorthodox theology.

    Piano Guys Christmas viral Video links to Mormon site.

    The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is well known for its ability to sing, as were other Mormon choirs. Unfortunately, large choral performances seem to be one of the things that Christianity has begun to neglect at least here in the states. I don't know that a link is an endorsement of Mormonism...

    BLACK HELICOPTERS BUZZING URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS

    Or they could simply be doing simulated training in an urban environment which is the most likely answer. The military has done a notable shift in the past decade or so after they realized the 21st century would involve smaller conflicts often in urban environments. They cannot all be trained at...

    The anatomy of a revival

    I learned a distinction a few years ago about the differences between a revival and a reformation. In the case of revival, the term itself implies either something is dying or it is already dead and thus needs to be revived. A reformation would take something that is functioning at a somewhat...

    what does the Bible say about Christians and nudism?

    Titus 1:6 NIV An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. I mean sorry but that's not consistent logic, in fact it's entirely wrong logic. The references to Isaiah and David being naked at times...

    Merry Christmas 2014!

    1 John 4:9 NIV This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. Merry Christmas! It's Christmas Eve here in the states and Christmas already for some of our members. Let us all take the time to truly reflect upon the...

    Version Smursions?!

    sojourner4Christ, with all due respect, anything that disagrees with you is branded as mischaracterization, just as was done with the usage of KJVO. I'm still uncertain of how KJV only, which is a factual descriptor can be rendered a pejorative when it accurately describes the defense of the KJV...

    Reading in the Age of Amazon

    I am normally a fierce defender of paper and books, but I found this article to score some points, particularly in how we've sort of lost a lot of our propensity to be oral cultures much like the ancient Greeks or even how the Bible (both New Testament and Old) would have been passed down...

    Why do Protestants / Evangelicals not kneel during service?

    Good first post theogrit! I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately, as humanity is prone to do, we tend to run from one extreme to the other. I think the Reformers would be rather shocked at a number of the practices that developed out of the Reformation and would quickly assert that they never...

    Community > Bible Reading?

    Agreed, a pastor has the added burden of having to be a little more careful in what he says. There are passages in the Bible which say that the pastor will be held accountable for what he teaches, and his influence is why. I think you anticipate the argument that this pastor made and most...

    Pop-Up Ads

    That's pretty unlikely to be us. You can verify through their TOS, but Google is very particular about not having popup ads. I don't run a popup blocker on a couple of my browsers that I use on this website, and I don't get those. It would seem that you have some type of adware on your computer...

    Modern day churches= Heresy

    While I heartily agree about countering the consumerism and materialism that has crept into the larger church, I don't think imitating the Muslim community is an admirable thing to do. After all, the point of the religion is God, not Allah, and Allah demands a very different adherence than Jesus...

    Community > Bible Reading?

    I'll draw your attention to an article I came across. Do you agree or disagree with this comment, knowing that it was made by the pastor of a church? Source: https://perrynoble.com/blog/ten-convictions-i-have-about-the-church What do you think?
