What it comes down to is this: Either God ensured that everything necessary to achieve and maintain salvation, grown in your knowledge and intimacy of Him, and share Him with others in need is in the Bible, or He didn't. If you need some double super secret ultra special additional book or...

Jesus said, "Do this in rememebrance of me" speaking of breaking the bread He did not say, "Repeatedly sacrifice my body and eat me over and over and over...." Jesus was sacrificed ONCE for all sins. That apparently isn't enough for some....

It always strikes me funny when people say that it is racist. Especially since there are more poor people who are white than any other group.

Whitestone, after reading this ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ it is my sincere hope that you NEVER have a conversation about God with the unsaved. The damage may be irreparable. .

-- Those words may be "scripture based," but they were not uttered by Jesus when he was instructing us on how to pray. Translation: The are NOT part of the Lord's Prayer. Catholics should feel free to tack it on the end. They should NOT feel free to try to pass it off as what Christ said when...

I just read an article where the ACLU is up in arms because a judge refused to block the PA Voter ID law. I have no problem with someone being required to provider a photo ID when voting. You need a photo ID to: - Drive a car - Rent a car - Board a plane - Enter a bar - Open a bank account -...

-- He was a very good man after he left the White House. But then he became rabidly anti-Israel, accusing them of ridiculous things while not condemning Hamas and other organizations who launched terrorist attacks against them. One of the things I remember about Carter - besides the Iranian...

Warrior, I believe you. I had a very happy childhood, insulated from the world by living in a very small town in a rural state. As I entered Jr. High and High School I had some difficulties in relationships and self-confidence that made my time difficult. Today, I look back at the lack of...

-- Just to add to what Hammerstone said: "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day." - John 6:44

-- I would tend to agree with Aspen. If the life we have right now is not what we had hoped, we tend to look at the past through rose-colored glasses. But if you take a serious look back and remember the feelings, fears, insecurities, etc. that you had at that time, reality sets in...

-- Hmmm... if I remember correctly, didn't the Catholic church have a major issue with Galileo? The whole 'telling the truth that conflicted with their doctrine' thing.... Your original statement was this: "Unfortunately for most "Bible Alone" believers who are motivated by a deep love for the...

-- The reason God has sent us out to share the Gospel is because if people do not hear it they are lost. If they never hear the Gospel they are NOT going to be saved.

-- That 'common phrase' has a common definition. I have simply shown that what you have said during this discourse has gone well, well beyond that common definition. -- Hmmmm....is that worse than disragarding the scriptures to support a cause that God opposes? -- Ohhhhh, so close. What I...

It would not have been him that changed his heart, so yes - unless you question Christ's redemptive power - it is absolutely possible.

-- lol you are of course correct. Jet lag and a lack of caffeine does terrible things...

-- You are correct. Your stance is indeed disappointing. Your actual statement was: "All I have ever said about homosexuality is that it is a sin AND that people who are not Christian should be able to choose to live openly as homosexuals without legal persecution." As I have shown, your "All...

-- As far as "Only the past sins are forgiven," that is true at the time you give your life to Christ. You are absolutely correct that Christ's blood, grace, and forgiveness does not give you a blank check to sin from that point, but ALL Christians sin. Paul himself said, "The very things I...

Silly me. Where would I have gotten that idea.... Or perhaps it was the lock thread where the very last post was you saying: "This heresy was condemned way back in the year 529 by the The Canons of the Council of Orange. Threads that are obvious heresies are locked." .

I think that those that speak out the most against 'fundamentalism' are the ones who wish to change/minimize something that is defined as a sin, or have the church accept something that has until this time been defined as contrary to Christianity. As a sidebar, I would point out that biggandy...

Some of my friends are, and with God's help, the rest of them eventually will be.
