(Wakka;25507) Not the government, but through conviction of sin can a person truly open their heart to Christ. And God can work through anyone. Kings, presidents, even the average blue collar worker can win souls for Christ. When the Lord is satisfied with a nation, then He blesses it .And we...

(Wakka;25502) However this nation was established as a Christian nation. And it's sliding more and more into a pagan society. Once a nation a nation turns pagan, then the Lord stops blessing it, and he gives it up to it's own destruction. Rome is a good example of it. No amount of coercion from...

I'm inclined to agree with him, actually. I don't think it's a very big deal either way - it does surprise me a bit that someone could possibly care so much - but in terms of what is dictated by American principals, it certainly seems like a violation of freedom of religion. How would someone...

Since Biblical Tetragramaton seems to have said more or less everything that I'd want to say and much more clearly at that, I'll simply add one last, related tidbit of opinion:I don't particularly have a problem with people denying evolution or supporting creationism, but I do have a problem...

A few points that I would bring up in response, crooner. I think that the point is largely lost on someone such as myself who doesn't believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God, but there are still some objections that I'd propose.One is the point about its "not harming anybody." The...

(Logical_One;25443) good explanation, but that doesnt explain why it contradicts itself within the same book, for example:GAL 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.GAL 6:5 For every man shall bear his own burden.orPRO 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly...

Logical_One:I certainly don't speak for the whole forum when I say this - in fact I think it's something many here would disagree with strongly - but it's my own personal opinion, at least.I don't think faith in the exact word of the Bible is the most important thing in Christianity. I don't...

I think you're right, lastsecman. I think trying to argue to Christianity rationally is going to be futile - I don't think you can find any argument that objectively proves God's existence - but it's also kind of missing the point. I believe that the act of becoming a Christian is a deeply...

(Wise Haven;24645) That quote used above was from me in a thread about Satanism.You have quoted me totally out of context..............this reference had nothing to do about homosexuality but about the risk of being sexually abused whilst participating in satanic ritual. There wasn't even an...

(thesuperjag;24578) Can you even prove that, that they left themselves anonymous?Jag Well, since they didn't mention their names anywhere in the gospel, wouldn't that make them anonymous?With the case of Paul it's very clear (at least, assuming they weren't pseudepigraphic) who the author is...

(thesuperjag;24564) Matthew wrote Matthew, Mark wrote Mark, John wrote John, 1, 2, and 3 John, Luke wrote Luke and Acts. So some of His disciples wrote it to us...Thank God for the Truth.Jag Is there actually a passage in any of the four gospels in which the writer identifies himself as sharing...

(thesuperjag;24478) Nowhere in both Old Testament and the New Testament stated it is OK for a male to have sex with another male... or a female to have sex with another female...or a woman having sex with an animal. As the Old Testament and the New Testament compliments each other. They are all...

(thesuperjag;24456) Well God hates sins. Every sin.John 14:15 - If ye love me, keep my commandments.How can one love God if one don't follow Him? I love you Lunar...but I can only warn you of sin. It is your choice...your life. You can follow men or God. God doesn't want anyone to preish.Jag I...

(thesuperjag;24444) We are to love them. But to the world, they think warning them is a nasty attitude, so they hate God and Christians. (and Jews)Jag It's definitely not the case that all or even most gays hate God and Christians, and I *definitely* don't associate antisemitism with gays. I'm...

(thesuperjag;24423) Leviticus 18:22 - Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.Romans 1:24 - Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:Romans 1:26 - For this cause God gave...

A quick question I had.It seems as though many Christian communities today have made the issue of homosexuality and gay rights one of their most important issues. Now, while it's debatable, there's obviously some evidence in the Bible that you could find to support the view that homosexuality is...

I'm not so sure about all this...the scholarly consensus seems to be that the Revelation of John was unequivocably referring to the Romans when he spoke about the ***** of Babylon. In 17:9, when referring to the Beast of Babylon, it says "The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the women...

I've heard it said that Christianity is something that you need to experience for yourself to understand. Truer words have never been spoken. Because of this, I wanted to offer this prayer of thanks to my Lord, Jesus Christ, for making things clear to me. Nothing could be more clear in my mind...

Hello all.I've been very confused about my spiritual situation for the past several years. I lost my faith when I was about 16 and never really looked back, but I have struggled with depression and a number of other personal problems since then. I can't help but shake the feeling that I need...

Hello everyone!As someone who was raised in a Christian household but has recently undergone a period of questioning in his life (for a number of reasons, though as I understand this isn't uncommon and is in fact encouraged by some Christians), I've committed quite a bit of thought to the...
