There are some problems I have with mormonism. Check this out for Christianity vs. Mormonism http://contenderministries.org/mormonism/comparison.phpDoes Mormonism consider itself Christianity?

I'm sorry he is being bothered by people of faith. But christians love this fellow and don't want to see him judged to an eternity in Hell. You can't force him to be saved but that won't stop christians from trying to help this person. It is difficult to help a person who doesn't realize he...

I've been welcomed every year since I have been here at CB except 2009. Are you guys grouchy this year? Do you figure that your welcoming from 2007 and 2008 still count for 2009?

Welcome to Christianity board. Your english is fine, better than most 15 yr olds that live here. I hope you learn a lot and good luck.

QUOTE (aloric645 @ May 10 2009, 10:25 AM) Why is it that christians expect atheists/agnostics to listen to what they have to say about god, but when atheists say their opinion on the matter christians won't listen? Why would you want to convince someone that there is no hope? Wouldn't it make...

QUOTE (good times @ May 9 2009, 01:54 PM) Speculation is not dangerous, it is human nature to be curious and question everything we do not know. That is one of the benefits of being self aware which sets us apart from animals. It is because of this questioning mentality that we now know that...

It is not hard to answer the question. It is God's will. He permits evil to exist because he permits us to exist. Permitting us to exist is good (for us). If we didn't exist neither would evil.As far as saddling us with sin and suffering we did that to ourselves. See the book of Genesis...

Sure, Jordan. Different strokes for different folks. Everyone does things a little differently. That was the point of my post. There isn't anything that is perfect, just like there is nobody that is perfect, except Jesus Christ.I'm not sure that I agree that we can gather in a website. That...

I am pretty new to going to church myself (about 3 yrs). I started at a Lutheran church that I liked a lot, but my kids were falling asleep and didn't want to go. So I switched to a foursquare church. I affectionately label it "the rock concert". It has good teaching though and the kids...

QUOTE (dan p @ May 1 2009, 06:44 PM) Hi for life , read Rom 6:15 , Gal 2:16-18 ; Gal 3: 5 ,10 11 , 12 , will help you . Is there a verse that says we don't have to keep the law? Rom 6:15 says God forbid!! I suppose it has helped me with more verses that support my original view.

QUOTE (dan p @ Apr 27 2009, 03:34 PM) Hi Christina , where dos it say that we are under the Law , but saved by Grace ? I need a verse ? Do you want to answer the Opening Post ? John 3:16 - Grace. I haven't seen anything in the Bible that says we are no longer required to keep the law. That...

QUOTE I think the bible truly teaches a "catching away". I can tolerate the timing issue more than whether or not it exists. For example, if it's pre-Trib, did anyone here ever think for themselves that maybe the Antichrist will use that to convince the world of some sort of invasion (like...

QUOTE (Denver @ Apr 26 2009, 06:33 PM) The etymology of the word i the biggest clue, for it is Ken - ites, literally meaning "sons of Cain." Thanks Denver. What about the Kenites surviving the flood? Any thoughts?

There is also another thing I hope you can point out to me. Where does it say that the offspring of Cain are called Kenites? I've read to Genesis chapter 11 and still cannot find it.

So you are saying that Noah, his wife, three sons or their three wives were part of Cain's bloodline? Are there any verses in the Bible that support this view?

I hope this is the right place to ask this question. How did Cain's line survive the flood? Wouldn't you think that only one line could survive, either Adams or Cains?

So are you saying that you don't believe that we are under grace, but still under the law? I think we are under grace. Since I think we are under grace that means to me that we are not under the Old Covenant (the Law) but now we are under the New Covenant (Grace). Heb 8:8 seems to be talking...

I was thinking of the parable about the enemy who planted weeds in the middle of the wheat and how the laborers asked if they should pull the weeds. The laborers were told not to pull the weeds because they may pull the wheat up with it. Then I started thinking of the book of Daniel and how...

QUOTE 2) Can you not see that God is NOT dealing with Israel , Today ? Yes I don't see. No I don't see. I don't see how God saying that He will make a new covenant with Israel (someday in the future) means that He will not deal with them anymore until then. Please Explain.

I'm not sure I'm understanding what is being discussed. When people go to church they expect the pastor (clergy) to teach them from the bible, correct? Are you suggesting that when we go to church we should all just talk amongst ourselves and not let anyone lead? Maybe we are all brethren and...
