Cleaned up this thread; let's please stay on topic! Thanks!

Thank you. It's mostly due to the forum software, but we've tried to set it up to where it's usable and make things as straight forward as possible. I find this software very strong on the user side. And yes, the software is called Invision Power Board (IP.Board or IBP for short). Ctrl keys are...

Yes, you can do this; eventually we hope to integrate a control panel where you can set your default version of choice. However, I like to quote from multiple versions, so I use this feature a decent bit. Sure, to my knowledge, they are: AMP = Amplified Version ASV = American Standard Version...

Moved to the Current Events & Political Christian Forum where it probably fits a little better. Thanks.

Over the past six months or so, we have made a number of changes to the default Bible version/translation here at Christianity Board. We know that this is a touchy subject among many and we are not here to declare our version choice the best or necessarily better than others. In fact, each...

Welcome to the both of you! :)

Maranatha. Welcome to Christianity Board! :)

I don't think things would diverge all too much from where they are now. Such a provision may have deterred a handful of immigrants, but I think we would still be in the wink-and-nod stage with politicians giving lip-service to something. I should like to think it may have had a greater bearing...

It has to do with the amount of posts and privileges that a member has when it comes to Newbie and Christian Member. It's automatically changed as you reach a certain threshold. We don't really publicly reveal everything, as it's more of a secondary feature meant to clamp down on spam. As far...

I think the fear has always been that the country and world would end up looking like Orwell's 1984 when, in reality, it seems that it will look much more like Brave New World. It's amazing how far the sexual revolution has compelled the culture to move. Things that were (and arguably should be)...

Well, while I don't think anyone totally understands the Trinity in totality, I would go the way that you must understand something about the Trinity at salvation. After all, it came down to what one Person of the trinity did, and in order to do what he did there must be something that links to...

The Islam thesis doesn't work, as Islam is far less receptive to gay marriage than Christianity. You don't lose a privilege, but you instead lose your life in that religion for committing that sin. From a civic/legal perspective, gay marriage is now a lost cause.

Well, my study and view suggests that we have "over-literalized" the book of Genesis when it comes to the creation account. If the ending of the world age is written in allegory, then why should creation be so contrastingly different? First and foremost, I think the account of Adam and Eve...

It's difficult to know where the cut-off mark is in something like this. What kind of policy does your work place have? (This would be a start.) IE: Would customers hear this music? Maybe it's a way to at least get it cut down or back to help reach a compromise if you quietly appeal to...

Welcome to Christianity Board! It's nice to see other younger guys on here who have been through realizing that faith goes much deeper than just a Sunday experience. I'm a few years ahead of you, and I pretty much went through the same thing when I went off to college. I became a solitary...

Welcome to Christianity Board! I've forgotten forums that I've joined in the past, and I don't have the hospitalization excuse, so no issues there!

Doing well here, date night with the wife and now back at home with our son. It's funny how things change, we're away 4-5 hours and we both missed him terribly! How about yourself?

I wouldn't really waste the time of day on that, sorry.

Let's try and steer this back on track. There are a number of Protestant sects that persecuted as well during the Reformation; if we go down that road we'll do that in another thread. Thanks.

^Ditto is my guess. Funny how we're so obsessed with the notion of a Zombie. I think it has far and above outpaced the vampire thing these days.
