This is hard pill to swallow :)

Then find better professors. A class teaching about Christianity shouldnt be put off just because of the chance that a few of the teachers might be bad. Many children do not grow up in Christian households and such a class might be the only real solid exposure to understanding Christianity that...

You are getting too academic. We are talking about a high school level course here, not a university PHD level study filled with Masters of Divinity scholars. Most of the concepts you listed could be covered briefly without entering the fray of ancient debates over the finer points of dogma

Each of them can be presented and discussed. The class shouldnt be designed to promote one over the other, but to present historical fact. Digging up this part of history may not ven be necessary. The class could focus more on other key points of influence. It could also be more focused on the...

Good question. I think the curriculum should be to present Christianity from a historical point of view. It should be non-denominational. I get your concern though. This would be a subject that would be difficult to standardize because many teachers would likely inject their own denominational...

Every Christian should be in support of this.

If the media was not attacking him every moment and actually reported on his achievements he would be known as the excellent, decisive leader he is. Sadly, far too many in the states have no idea what's good for them, no concept of history, no forward thinking perception, and only parrot what...

Not that I disagree with this, but Ecclesiastes is still the bible and therefore still the divinely inspired word of God. I'm not saying that the disasters (Revelation plagues) have happened already. I'm saying there is kind of a historical pattern or course that mankind continues to take with...

Yes, the bible does say that there is nothing new under the sun. I agree that certain prototypical events could reoccur throughout history and in the future.

Paul is talking to believers. He's saying that the potential to believe is in the whole world. Romans 10:14 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?

Matthew 24:14 is yet another reason I do not subscribe to Dave L's camp on the matter 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Had the gospel been preached to the whole entire world by 70 AD? Certainly not.

I love it

This is another thing I'm wondering about. If we dream, maybe our dreams will actually be coherent and we'll be able to make use of them somehow.

Yeah it's beyond amazing what some gifted people are capable of. Like photorealistic paintings for instance. I think I would probably need an eternity to ever be so skilled in art. Yet, there are children creating masterpieces before even entering their teens. Same thing with music. I wish I...

What a out the millions of Christian's murdered during the Reformation? Wouldn't that be closer to the GT given that thos evening persecuted were Christians and not Jews?

Well I mean, I wouldn't exactly accuse anyone of not being saved if they happen to be a liberal leaning Christian. I guess you would.

And they don't forfeit their salvation even of they believe so. Believing homosexuality is evil or not has no salvific merit on its own. Bible says that men who have sex with other men will not inherit the kingdom. 1 Corinthians 6:9 But a person can still be a saved Christian and believing...

That is theologically incorrect. Holding a "correct" interpretation of eschatology is not vital to our salvation. Unbelief in God's Son, however, makes it impossible to be saved. It is better to be an uneducated believer than an unbeliever. No, He certainly would not. Did someone here claim...

Yeas. And sounds /music as well :)

Yeah, it's fun and rewarding albeit difficult to try and picture what the new heavens and new earth will be like. The bible mentions that everyone in heaven will belong to everyone else, so this makes me think that we will not have the same communicative barriers that we have here. We are...
