There are 299 messages to this thread. I won't read them all, especially when the first 60 were on a loop: same arguments just being repeated. Romans 10:10-13 cannot be read in isolation.... Much like most of the Bible. You must at least read the 9th and 11th chapter to even begin to...

Actually, its a warning about forsaking the assembling of yourselves. Put bluntly.... Skipping Church.

The book by CS Lewis? Well... Read half of it and I was captivated! It was a library book so I had to return it. Never got a chance to renew it.

It is curious wording and I know the chapter well! I have thougjt much about it and I always come back to somethimg simple: our parents out of love chastened us. They punished and corrected us. They did it so we would learn. That's all good and all... But God also does that. Our parents...

How about tarrying?

Mary Right! Exactly! But how did he? Its an important question. More important (depending on the answer, with the answer being unknown) is why Constantine further endorsed it. Why? Because it would answer the concern as to whether there were pagan influences involved. Really? From...

Just wondering out loud: I often wonder if its because Pastors feel like they have to play "the role" of the passive, non offending role model Christain. It'd be tough to ask a Pastor to meet the boys at the barber shop or pub and talk about things guys talk about (and still play that role)...

I pick my fights carefully. This is one I will fight. You ready to rumble?

I ain't on board with this... Sure its a sin and its wrong... But it is covered by grace just as much as any other sin.

Well you ought to care because the fact that he noted the date before Constantine mafe it something official is not new. Its not like everyone doesn't know that already. It also doesn't prove the date wasn't picked because of pagan influences UNLESS Hippoclytus actually figured out the date...

You haven't even read it, have you?

You are right on all these accounts. I for one never said otherwise. Hippolytus did name the date. True. It was before Constantine enforced it. True. It was enforced for Pagan reasons... Well I agree with you but it is just a theory. Nonetheless I agree with your thinking that paganism...

Yet another dodge...

Marymog... Do not bother me any longer with this drivel. I have gave you the pertinent questions. Either answer them or leave me alone.

Mary, I am not going to embarrass you. But yes I have and I even have YOU as a witness. I have what YOU wrote as proof. Go back and read. Marymog... Do not bother me any longer with this drivel. I have gave you the pertinent questions. Either answer them or leave me alone.

The funny thing is I just reread all our exchange... I already have! And you are still arguing about the discussion and not engagi g what the discussion is about. I also found alot of questions you have dodged. So here is the pertinent question: Hippolytus picked Dec 25th as Jesus' birth...

Yea, I can... But again you still are missing the main point and arguing about the discussion, not what the discussion is about. He could be a cartoonist for all I care. Have you even read his work? Or just qikipedia?

You are debating the discussion, not discussing what its about.

I'd have to disagree with that. Alot of people believe its talking about Mary and Jesus... And there is good reason... But it really covers the history of the world from genesis to the present day. Its the type of chapter you can have a lot of different takes on, I suppose. So maybe its...

@Nancy... That's the first reference to crossfit I've seen here! Not sure who here knows what it is except maybe WillieT! @Ezra... I agree! My Church is big on emotion, singing and dancing, but the main course is the teaching. Matt 11:29 says take my yoke upon you and learn of me... And I...
