    "Free" Will

    Please remain respectful and do not descend into the realm of excessive ad hominem postings! This thread has been cleaned up a bit.

    Healthcare

    CC, my best advice is to ask around for programs that give some relief for a bill like that. Check with local hospitals (as said above) and then even ask local pharmacies, because a number of the chains have programs of one sort or another. I've known a number of blue collar folks who hold the...

    New to christianityboard.com

    A belated welcome to the community Daniel. It's always pleasing to me to hear accounts of believers converted because other believers were willing to share with them or live as an example for them, and now it would seem you are bearing your own fruit.

    Hello!

    Happy Mother's Day!

    Mothers, thank you for all that you do! Guys, do something special for that lady out there, be it your wife or your mother (or both)! I'm always reminded of Isaiah 66:13 when thinking about moms. God literally said there that he would comfort Israel as a mother comforts her child. Here the...

    Homosexuality: Is it the way a person is born?

    For me, this question is one that is a moot point. Why? Jesus calls us to refrain from plenty of things that we have "natural" desires or inclinations for us to do. For instance, does anyone want to argue that a 15-20 year old remains removed from the temptation for sex outside of marriage? Are...

    What Bible Translation are you using?

    Holman Christian Standard Bible: http://hcsb.org/ It's the version we've begun using on this site.

    What Bible Translation are you using?

    I'm flicking back and forth, at the moment, with the HCSB, NIV, ESV and KJV. I'm probably reading the HCSB the most, and I am most comfortable with it. I like how the NIV is a little more polished in the English, but I also prefer the diction of the HCSB. It retains more traditional language...

    PCUSA Losing Another

    CC, this Washington Post article shares: More or less, the PCUSA was not really providing much of a Christian reason to stick around. There are a number of political issues at play, and I think the prevailing attitude in politics coupled with how the PCUSA (and other denominations of similar...

    "Bible Skeptics" now equal with "Bible Lovers", more so in Millenials

    It's the mantra of Moralistic Therapeutic Deism. I blame the Churches as much or more than the folks leaving, but it comes down to the "churches are not fulfilling my needs." The first manifestations of this did come about in forms of fundamentalism, resulting in some of the shutoffs that are...

    QUESTION 1 for YOU - IF YOU BELIEVE JESUS is GOD

    Well happy to see that you acknowledge that God is not limited, but I must admit you are one of the first to say this and still hold to the Jesus is not God mentality! The primary argument when one, just like the OP, cites passages like Numbers 23:19 is that God cannot be more than one person...

    QUESTION 1 for YOU - IF YOU BELIEVE JESUS is GOD

    You are hopelessly limited by your conception that one essence cannot possess multiple persons or bodies. It's a difficult concept to understand, granted, but one that would make sense with a living and powerful God. John 5:18 HCSB This is why the Jews began trying all the more to kill Him: Not...

    Hey :)

    Lux, welcome to the community! Praise God for your baptism! This forum isn't perfect, so don't expect that because we are a bunch of imperfect people needing a Savior. However, I think you'll be able to find some friends and hopefully the sorts of discussion you are looking to have. :)

    Multiculturalism?

    Hashe, I think you raise some of the positives and negatives associated with multiculturalism. There are certainly positives in the sense of introduce to new sensory experiences: great food, unique music, art, etc. Imago Dei seems to suggest that God created us to be creative, and therefore we...

    Whats up with this?

    Are you certain it's the same page, and not moving you to the next? If you can post here, then you should be able to navigate those links. The things that would cause that sort of reload would generally be on our code side, and no others are reporting those issues. Perhaps you could click and...
