I replied to your shorter post in the other thread. And I'm not here to argue and debate. I love all my brothers and sisters, even when I disagree with them. I'm grateful most of all that you and I are saved, and we're in the same family of God. So rather than criticize you or anything, let me...

From everything I've seen, the Greek word entos leans heavier towards meaning "inside" than "among." That word is only used one other time in the NT when Jesus is talking about cleaning the inside of a cup. Its root word is en, which basically means residing in a place, as opposed to eis, which...

You have to read things in context, though. The context of the entire passage is speaking figuratively about dying to sin. But he uses the example of literal death just to try to help us understand the concept of figuratively dying to sin. Interesting. I've never imagined anyone looking at it...

Yeah, I guess true abuse could make a difference. But that's definitely not how they were making it seem.

Rom 6:7 means literally dead, but he is only using that as a figurative example of our lives on earth. In v. 11, it's completely figurative, because he says consider yourselves to be dead to sin. That means that right now, we're supposed to live like we're already dead to sin, and alive to...

I think the issue is that there is a lack of understanding that there is a difference between the Kingdom of God/Heaven and that place that we call heaven, as described in Revelation and other places in the Bible. ByGrace is right on. A kingdom is a domain or region in which a king reigns. Jesus...

Lol. Who writes this stuff? Being spanked as a child? Is it another anti-spanking campaign? I know a lot of people who were spanked, myself included, who are well above the average intelligence. Some of the stuff listed makes sense, but that one is ridiculous.

I believe our conscience is a God-given gift within our spirits to help us know right from wrong. It's something we're born with, and it's a nugget deposited by our Creator within ourselves. It's God's way of giving us our own free will, yet slightly tipping the balance in our favor so that we...

You have some good words of wisdom here. I love how you talk about how nothing is too great to ask for, but then you have to be able to handle whatever it is you asked for. That's a good thought. :) Thank God for His grace, which is the supernatural ability to do all the things He asks us to do.

There's nothing inherently wrong with a beat, rhythm, or instrument, guys, but the intent behind them. And if you think otherwise, you're just living in fear, which is not of God (2 Tim. 1:7). Everything the devil uses is nothing but a counterfeit of the things of God. The devil is not a...

I agree. But different people have their hearts opened in different ways, so thank the Lord we have many different types of churches and worship.

I don't really see a problem with Christian entertainment. I've known people who came to Christ because of Christian rock music. Like WillieT pointed out, a lot of the hymns that everyone thinks are so holy used music that came from old bar tunes. As for whether Christian music should have...

I think Christians are as close-minded to science as most scientists are to creation, and it makes them look pretty silly to the rest of the world. How are we going to win people to Christ that way? I believe science and biblical creation can be reconciled. Personally, I don't believe in...

Most of the media attention Trump gets is all biased in the negative. He gets ridiculed a lot. I don't think all of that media spin is what's helping him.

We all agree that Jesus established one church. It just seems like our definition of what makes up that one church is different. It seems like your definition of Jesus' church is only the Roman Catholic Church, and nothing else. And why do you keep making the font size so huge?

I know someone right now who is whining about the same thing for Bernie Sanders.

Yeah, and you brought up the exact point I was hoping to pull out of you from that picture. The earth has a diameter of 8000 miles. It's impossible for the human eye to have a view wide enough of the horizon to even perceive a curvature, even though there is one. Plus, you have to keep in mind...

If any of it was sarcasm, it was the "too" part. It really seems like you're saying that anyone who is not RCC isn't a Christian. So you're basically judging that most of us on here are not saved. If that's not your intent, then please clear that up, and I'm sorry.

You just don't get it, man. I'm not talking about morality. I'm not talking about what is Christian and not Christian. I'm talking about living in this temporal world, and the reality of that is that everyone is struggling in their own way to make it through this life. Let me be hypothetical for...

So you don't want me to accuse you of only making it about abortion, but then your only argument against the others is that they are pro-abortion? My only point is that different people have different immediate needs, and different politicians are better qualified to meet those different...
