The Chicago Statement of Biblical Inerrancy is used as the basis for a 16-part teaching series by Dr. R. C. Sproul called, Thus Says The Lord (and I believe that the entire series is free to listen to online right now :)). Dr. Sproul touches on Divine "inspiration" and "transmission" beginning...

Thanks Debp and @marks :) , I believe that this is a VERY important point that needs to be clearly made and understood, because MANY today believe that salvation is gained, maintained, or both .. or lost, due to our willingness, or lack thereof, to forgive others, and that is simply not what is...

Hi Nancy, that is true, of course, but what the Lord requires of us, in admonishing us to be His "peacemakers" .. Matthew 5:9, that is, is a VERY difficult thing, because it requires the injured party (the person who was sinned against, that is) to be the one who initiates the Biblical processes...

Hello Pearl, this is an interesting verse for at least a couple of reasons. First of all, why does the Lord Jesus ask His Father to forgive the people instead of simply forgiving them Himself, like He had been doing all along :contemplate: Also, what was He asking the Father to forgive them of...

Hello again Rheeder (I just replied to you on a different thread), you certainly come to us with the most wonderful newsjoy: Thank you for sharing it with us, and WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD :) That is a big part of what "sanctification"/becoming more and more Christlike is about. Perhaps...

Hello Rheeder, first off (since I see that you are a new member here), WELCOME TO CB :waves: As far a convincing atheists of the existence of Jesus Christ, that, by itself, shouldn't be hard, since He is an historical figure. Convincing an atheist that He is God may be a tad harder however ;)...

Hello TheeFaith, what is taught by the historic creeds of Christendom, which includes those listed above by you + the Symbol of Chalcedon (but not the Didache) is accepted as being basically true by the entirety of the churches that fall within Christian orthodoxy, IOW, by the RCC, EOC, OOC and...

Hello again Cerraco, it seems that we may have a lot more to talk about, but I'm afraid that it's going to have to wait until I return tomorrow night (well actually, until tonight, as it's already "tomorrow" here). So, I hope to see you then (Dv). --Papa Smurf

Hello Cerraco, first off, since I see that you are a new member, WELCOME TO CB :waves: I'm very sorry to hear about how you were treated on one of the other Christian Forums (and I'm hoping that it was in error somehow). You're here now however, so let's hope that you can finally find (or at...

Hello again Arthur, as far as my signature goes, I've found some of the things that Bono says facinating, wondering at times whether or not he was a believer. After reading what he wrote in my signature line (and a bit more of the same from him), I am no longer "wondering" about that :) I have...

Hello Arthur, I always thought that there was a short passage in Exodus that addressed this, not simply v22? Exodus 21 22 If men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband...

Hello @Wick Stick, I'll have to wait until later to comment, but I thought having Exodus 18 posted here would be beneficial to the discussion, so here it is. Exodus 18 (NASB 95') 1 Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses...

:contemplate: Most humans seem to like us, so you'd better ask Gargamel, as he may be the only one who knows :oops:

Hello again John839, yes, Chabad.org is an excellent website (I use it often), though it's principal concern is Jewish "living", where Mosaic Magazine's purpose is less about Jewish living and more about advancing Jewish thought (which is, in point of fact, the magazine's stated "purpose" in its...

Hello @John839, I believe that you and others may find the following article excerpt enlightening. First off, it seems that the Koran did not "improve" what was written by the Jews in their oral tradition, rather, they copied Rabbinic Judaism's ORIGINAL wording of the passage (Mishnah...

Hello again Matthew, the Joshua Project is a "research initiative" that helps coordinate missionary organizations and point them in the direction of the unreached and under-reached people groups in the world today (groups who know little to nothing about Jesus). It is, in point of fact, their...

Worldwide, it seems that we still have a way to go yet. Global Summary - An overview of the people groups of the world People Groups: 17,452 Unreached Groups: 7,397 % Unreached Groups: 42.4% Population: 8.00 Billion Popl in Unreached: 3.40 Billion % Popl in Unreached...

Hello @sadone, first off, since I see that you are a new member, welcome to CB:waves: As far as what to do right now, since you have created a bit of a pickle for yourself, my first advice to you would be to go and tell your pastor everything that you just told us (for his counsel, help and...

Here's something that may be worth considering concerning this topic (praying to the dead). QUESTION What does the Bible say about praying to the dead? ANSWER Praying to the dead is strictly forbidden in the Bible. Deuteronomy 18:11 tells us that anyone who “consults with the dead” is...
