I smoke very rarely. It's because of constipation actually : / But a pack will usually last me at least 3 or 4 months (I think the last one I threw away lasted 6 months). Strangely, I do not experience an addiction to nicotine. I'm actually quite a fairly disciplined person and don't have an...

Yes, salvation is definitely faith and works but the works in no way gain our salvation, it is the evidence of it (faith without works is a dead one, from James I want to say 1:5 or thereabouts). Some seem to want to add something to the finished work of Jesus but we add nothing to our...

Good is subjective unless you have something on which to objectively base it. God is definitely not good according to the standards of a lot of people which are based on.... ? Not sure. It appears to me on the changing opinions of society. Jam 1:17-- every good gift and perfect gift is from...

Jesus said, "Come to me all you who are weary laden and I will give you rest." "I will not turn any away who call on my name." At the ascension he said, "Go and make disciples of all nations.... teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." So no, it's not a passive saving (though...

Thank you, yes that is what I did. Was waiting on a guy to give me a specific date for over two weeks now, so I decided to go with another company. That one was recommended to me. So hopefully they should get over here within the time stated.

Well that's good that it got cleared up. Yes--that is sometimes a negative result of the thunderstorms I love though. I have a dead tree here in my yard I'm trying to get someone to come by and take down--so that it doesn't fall on my house! And then when the trees fall along the hiking trails...

That is right of course--you can explain it all clearly to someone but if the Holy Spirit doesn't enlighten their mind and give life to their spirit they'll still refuse to believe.

Yeah, I just came back not too long ago from a hike. Very hot out. And lots of bugs. I really don't care to hike much in the summer (I can only go in the early morning, or in the evening if it cools off by then, but it usually doesn't). There's really not much about the summer that I do like...

Right! Isn't that the way the way it goes often? Philip comes along and sees him reading and ask him, "Do you understand what you're reading there?" And the guy's like, "How am I supposed to understand it if someone doesn't explain to to me? Is the writer talking about himself or someone else?"...

That's so cool that you're OPC too! How awesome is that! Which church do you go to? I'm at Living Hope in Gettysburg. Pastor VanMeerbeke's my pastor; we just got a new pastor, Shane Bennett (after Zack Siggons left us!) and Kyle Brown's our associate pastor. Usually everyone knows everyone in...

I do love to hike (preferably on cloudy days--but I do get out there however it is usually). Other than that, yeah I don't care to be outside much. I used to have a garden business but it got to be too much with my regular job; so would have preferred to be able to go with that full time instead...

Yes I am, good to meet you. I'm a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (also known as the "Only Perfect Church"--lol, just kidding of course!). I was actually converted by mean of the WCF--I identify completely with the Ethiopian eunuch whom Philip spoke with in Acts; I definitely needed...

Actually some aspects of Christian theology are quite intellectual. You may want to consider reading the Westminster Confessions of Faith one day if you have not already; I found it to be quite an intellectual and logical document. Any church that does not encourage questions does not have a...
