I find it interesting that the dyed-in-the-wool Christians behave as if they absolutely hate me. What's wrong with this picture? [

To what end? Is God not in the business of restoration? [

Here's another one. This is what the church should look like. Unfortunately, we have failed miserably. Acts 2:46-47 NIV Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and...

LOL I get along great with unbelievers. I was inspired by this scripture long ago. Luke 2:52 NIV And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. [

Would you surrender your own beliefs in the cause of doctrinal unity? (doubtful) Who decides what is true and what is false? There is no consensus. https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/the-unity-and-division-threads-unified-to-one-topic-divided-by-links.63769/ [

Yes. If all someone knows about me is that I am a Christian... Then they will make assumptions about me based on all the other Christians they have known. Do you recall what Gandhi said about that? Mahatma Gandhi is often quoted as saying, "I like your Christ, I do not like your...

My understanding is that the atonement paid the death penalty for all sin. (singular) It wasn't about individual sins. (plural) The atonement was complete. We can't undo it by our own actions. Granted, every individual will answer for their transgressions, but that is a separate point. The...

I question whether conflicting doctrines can't all be true. That seems like the "the wisdom of this world" that you warned about. We see unresolved arguments on the forum that seem to indicate that conflicting doctrines are true. Both sides line up with their biblical "proof-texts". Which one is...

The hell doctrine has always been "the fly in the ointment" for me. Being raised evangelical, I was fine with all of it, (didn't know any better) except the hell doctrine. The glitch in the Matrix. "You've been down that road. You know where it ends." Even very by-the-book Christians are...

Nonsense. (hopefully you took that as a compliment) - LOL [

To whom were they given? Deuteronomy 5:1-3 NIV Moses summoned all Israel and said: Hear, Israel, the decrees and laws I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them. 2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. 3 It was not with our ancestors[a] that the Lord...

That's debatable. Romans 14:5 NIV One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Deuteronomy 5:15 NIV Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of...

We've all heard the vacuous mantra: "God said it, I believe it, that settles it." What does this communicate parenthetically? "It doesn't need to make sense, I just need to accept it." ??? (with a shrug?) Do we really need to check our brain at the door when we go to church? On the forum...

This is why people hate Christians. [

That's no joke. (it is funny though) https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/prior-lake-teacher-plans-lawsuit-over-online-posts/vi-AA1yRFPp [

St. SteVen said: Seems too many make an idol of their personal interpretation of the Bible. Yes. You are a prime example. Thanks. https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/bibliolatry-worship-knowledge-of-the-book-more-than-the-author.54191/ [

Seems too many make an idol of their personal interpretation of the Bible. Claiming theirs is the only truth and that others are "of the devil" because their view differs. What's wrong with this picture? Misplaced allegiance. Religious fiefdoms. Building walls, instead of bridges. - What is...

--- PARODY --- God: Welcome to the afterlife. Person: Who are you? God: I created you for my own purposes. Person: Like what. God: For destruction. Person: What does that mean? God: You will be annihilated. Person: Why? God: It was my choice for you. Person: What did I do to deserve this. God...

Interesting YouTube channel brings science and faith together. This playlist has ten short videos. Each one between 2 and 4 minutes in length. Let's discuss. Thanks. [

What's the difference between a rock music guitarist and a jazz guitarist? The rock music guitarist plays three chords for 5,000 people. The jazz guitarist plays 5,000 chords for three people. [
