They argue that it's vile to think that God has a penis. I laughed the first time a muzzy tried to float that, trying to shame Christians for entertaining such a "dirty" thought. I also remind them of the irony that they are so oppressive to women, yet it was their mighty prophet who was...

I agree with that assessment. Evolution has as it's main mission and motivation the removal of God the Creator as the only explanation for everything we see. As silly as it sounds, evolutionists are attempting to kill God. Christians who push evolution are much like Christians who push the...

But it is about salvation, Angelina. Jesus was demonstrating a priority we should all keep in mind, that the soul needs saving much more than the body. That's why he first forgave the man's sins. Everyone that Jesus ever healed is dead, and the people he raised from the dead are also dead...

Yes, I love seeing this, that there are people in that country with real compassion for what's going on. Great post.

If the idea originated from the leader of the Bible study group, that would be cause for alarm.

I think some Christians, who believe everything they do is inspired by God, don't realize when they're being motivated by something else such as xenophobia. Eastern yoga, breathing, meditations, and Tai Chi are strange and foreign, therefore they must also be demonic. I say, not necessarily so.

It is the fact that God made man as a special creation, distinct from all the animals, that I can be nothing less than dogmatic about. Evolution would have multiple subspecies between man and ape, but that's not the case. The biggest proof is our intelligence, philosophy (no other animal is...

That's what I meant by an imperfect church, Cody. Pax Christi

Never mind.

The title led me to believe I might read an impartial, balanced take on this. Sounds like you've definitely taken sides. Not worth my time.

It depends on who you ask. As a Catholic, I don't believe that salvation is an event, I believe it's a journey that must be completed by our choice to remain faithful to the end (Hebrews 3:14). He was saved if he persevered in holding onto what he was given. If he went back to his old ways...

I'm not gleaning from the OP that the Bible study was leaderless. Even in Bible studies with leaders, people will express opinions and interpretations. I do agree with you that no Bible study group can be beneficial if there isn't somebody there who's a competent teacher.

Enquirer, you make a very compelling argument for following the advice of Jesus, keep those prayers in the closet. If we are praying to God and not to men, then why do we need an audience? People who stand up and start babbling are just being disruptive. My own father (a pastor) had the...

Me too Aspen. It's a 50 minute commitment, but I think probably well worth it. Ok, having watched the video, I've concluded RJ is correct in his assessment of it. I found myself being highly critical of the video because it is advertised dramatically as promising to reveal the "ultimate...

Very well put.

Welcome, Cody. That's a touching testimony and thank you for sharing it. I hope you and your wife decide that it's best to go to church and there's a reason that Hebrews 10:25 exhorts us to never neglect this. There's nothing that causes us to grow in the Lord than to humbly submit to human...

Your example of a happy, nice Muslim at work indicates you're missing the point. Christians judge evil in the world, but that doesn't apply to every person. Applied more specifically, Islam is an evil system that has throughout the centuries and today reaped bloodshed, suffering, slavery, and...

Madad, it looks like somebody took your suggestion to heart. That thread just got locked up.

I'm not playing your game, pretending that there is no liberal bias on college campuses. You got your head in the sand and I'm not going down there with you. Here's for your information: http://www.intellectualtakeout.org/library/education/liberal-bias-education-campus-classroom-college...
