Administrator Note: This thread has been cleaned up a bit due to remarks made about Jesus. Please see this Statement on the Trinity to see why for those involved. We are drawing a line on the level of discussion, because questioning is one thing, but labeling blasphemy is another entirely. If...

Ladies and gents, you should know by now that I strive to provide a graceful and understanding community as well all grow towards a maturing faith. I hope that we communicate that we understand that people are at different levels with the work of God ongoing in all of our lives. As Paul said so...

Welcome [back]! For some reason, your account was set to the Moderation que, so I apologize for your post just showing up! It shouldn't happen again. Hope to see you around; I don't know that we have many Episcopal members on here right now, so nice of you to join. :)

This would be the mystery of the fully man and fully God. The only pretense we are working with is that an omnipotent God would be beyond our full understanding. And, of course, he would. It's sort of like trying to cram a 1 TB hard drive into a 1 GB hard drive. It just won't work because the...

Guys, I don't feel that it's the purview of this forum for me to post up pet causes and projects for donations. However, this is one very rare case where I will make an exception. Some of you know I am a fan of Rod Dreher, an author (Crunchy Cons & Little Way of Ruthie Lemming) and blogger...

Welcome to the community, Brother_Christian! :)

Noah is not just unbiblical, it deliberately draws not from the Midrash tradition that the director says, but instead draws directly from the Kabbalah. It's a piece of gnostic art. If you have seen this movie, contemplating this movie, or just if you are Christian in general, then you need to...

The KJV and ESV are the only two which are growing, whilst the NIV continues the downward trend along with many other major [Evangelical] versions. Pretty interesting. http://www.openbible.info/labs/translation-share/

Rod Dreher remains my top blogger choice, but Ross Douthat probably follows close behind. One is Orthodox (big "O") and the other is Catholic. However, they nail the problems that we face, and one of the major problems across the entire spectrum of Christianity is muddied beliefs and weak...

Aaron, we had to remove the link because it wouldn't be fair to our members to leave it since we don't allow links in posts to personal sites, etc. It's nothing personal. However, I did have a chance to review it, and I will compliment the quality and message of the video. You did very well...

Osteen's preaching only touches half of the story. It would seem to leave out the part that involves afflictions and inexplicable bad things happening to people. The problem with this style of preaching that while it is indeed uplifting, it lends to much credence to you having control over your...

There are a couple things, and I don't know that any of them are going to be overly comforting for you. First and foremost, you and your family are in my prayers. I feel like this gets said so easily and flippantly, but I will be doing my best to pray for hope and for change because what you're...

Doesn't that speak to the eminence of the Creator that it is not like him? After all, the omnipotence paradox is probably more indicative of our conceptualization and language shortcomings rather than a shortcoming of God.

This cartoon kinda brings up another one. http://adam4d.com/lord-just/

To me, person savior ends up having the connotation of personalized savior. I find a number of these phrases - aside from traveling mercies and unspokens - would be okay if used in moderation. There is a large element of truth to Jesus being a personal savior. The problem comes with that...

1. God won't give you more than you can handle. I hate this phrase. It's a complete misquote of 1 Corinthians 10:13 which deals with temptation and not troubles and tribulations. Look at any Bible character, and you will see quite often much more than they can bear, which is the reason Paul...

Got a great opportunity through a simple contact to write this article for Seedbed! Seedbed is a great resource for the Wesleyan perspective. I am honored that they would host my article, but I am thankful for the sort of reaching across of denominational lines even moreso. Link...

Welcome to Christianity Board, poeticmommy! I'm glad to hear someone recommended us, and count that as a blessing that we are hopefully serving the Lord in what we try do. I cannot imagine what you do in being the single parent of three! I pray that God will strengthen you in taking care of...

I'm tired of hearing of this man. He was given way too much publicity during his life (his actual church membership is quite small, some suggest as few as 25 actually attending) because he was a convenient boogeyman. I reject everything the man did, but to paint him as somehow representative of...
