WOW. You have no idea who I am, the value I place upon women or my work in missions or Couples Coaching. You are blinded by your own commitment to a fundamental belief in Monogamy as Gods plan when there is NO evidence in the Bible to suggest this position.

I would agree with you that the creation story is not a literal account but a metaphor. The truth is wrapped up in the story, sadly today it would appear that the modern evangelical fundamentalist is more interested in whether the story is literally true and miss the message within the story...

You are quite correct the Bible has to be spiritually discerned but through a Biblical World View. Quoting scripture and taking it literally without understanding the culture context will only lead one into error and a distorted picture of what was going on and why. Can I encourage you to get...

When Martin Luther nailed his thesis to the Brandenburg Church he was deemed a heretic. His insight came in direct conflict with the worlds most powerful institution "The Catholic Church". The understanding we have today of Christ's redeeming work is a direct result of his conviction and...

Sex at Dawn is a great book if your interested in viewing the topic outside a fundamentalist perspective. "He who has ears let him hear" Can you hear? I hope you can. The pharisees couldn't hear Christ message because they were deaf blind and hard hearted. Its always hard to think outside the...

The Bible is a collection of 66 books written by 40 authors over a period of hundreds of years. The Old and New Testament are contradictory on a number of points, such as whether God requires his followers to follow the Levitical Law. Evangelicals hold that in the New Testament, Jesus...

Hopefully this isn't a forum full of religious fruit cakes, who seek to indoctrinate everyone with there own distorted views. Seems that most of us never got the memo on DON"T JUDGE.

Saved from what ? When the multitudes cried out "what must we do to be saved" what were they referring too? If we read the Bible and take it literally without understanding context & culture we will come away with a completely wrong picture of whats it's saying. When the Rich Young Ruler asked...

Before I walked away from being a fundamentalist I would have had held the same position as you. Have a great weekend. :)

Hell Bound is a great documentary video and can be found on You Tube. Sorry Hell doesn't exist.:confused:

Good morning Read your post with interest. Do you believe that there was a literal garden with a talking snake?

The list of books below have had a HUGE impact in my life. Before coming to faith, book reading and I were complete strangers, the odd sailing/car magazine yes, but a book NO. The Bible was the first library I started reading, I say library because that's exactly what it is, 66 books written...

Looking forward to some good debates

QUOTE (tomwebster @ Apr 18 2009, 08:33 PM) Just to throw a thought into the mix, how is gold purified? With real FIRE! Have you ever had a warm feeling when God was chastising you? Maybe our melting point isn't as high as the melting point of gold. Excellent point. We need to remember that...
