Hi Malad, It's a very controversial subject where we draw the line between Christian and not Christian, but the person you were quoting cast suspicion on the title based on nothing more than people not interpreting the Bible with the same points of emphasis as he does. As I said, in the first...

I noticed that too and I didn't read that post any further than you did because it flagged itself as trolling in the first 5 words. You already expand the definition of Christian to one who defends evil, but now you propose that Christian also encompasses those who perpetrate evil?

The 2nd commandment cannot be isolated from the 1st commandment. They are in tandem. Separating them in an attempt to condemn Christian practices for 2000 years is simply pursuing your own agenda. And I truly mean 2000 years because these practices go all the way back to the first centuries of...

Obama stood by and did nothing while a U.S. Embassy was attacked and the ambassador and military servicemen died brutal deaths. Obama opposed a law that protects infants who are born alive from being aborted. Obama deliberately put guns into the hands of Mexican drug cartels in hopes that the...

No, I really didn't leave anything out. The 2nd commandment cannot be read in isolation from the first, that graven images be ascribed deity and worshipped as a god. This doesn't happen in the Catholic Church. Every bow in Catholic Mass is directed toward the Eucharist who we believe is in...

I think you can take a lot of what's being said here with a grain of salt. As I said before, many of us are just blowing off some steam. I disagree that not seeing the word "anti Christ" doesn't mean there won't be one. 2Thessalonians chapter 2 describes in vivid detail the rise of the "man...

Again, very perceptive. This game of religious one upmanship and "I'm more spiritual than thou" is repugnant, fleshly, and the mark of an immature Christian. It's usually college age students who do this, kids who haven't learned humility and how precious a quiet prayer-closet faith can be...

It's things like this that I point to when talking about the existence of hell to those who don't believe in it. The strongest argument for hell is the sheer balance of justice we leave this earth with, the fact that man is inadequate at dispensing the amount of justice for many of the crimes...

We see Jesus in physical form with our own eyes and partake of his body and blood. Somehow all the sideshows that engage the rest of you pale by comparison.

Yep. As a general rule, when one finds themselves at odds with the Pious Penguins then they should know they're not on God's side.

Wow, John. that's a pretty arrogant thing for you to claim about RANDOR, but I'm getting used to such arrogance from you. And I'm getting a lot of "doctrines of men" right from your own posts. I don't even have to look very far. And that last part, is that some kind of threat? Angelica can...

The Holy Spirit tried? That's a whole debate in itself that deserves it's own thread whether or not God can be thwarted, his efforts frustrated. The canon of scripture came about by the councils of Rome and Hippo, men deciding what books should be included and what works don't meet the needed...

Do you have any idea how the canon of holy scriptures came to be?

So no list? No guidebook? Then how do you know my church isn't a "spirit filled and spirit led" church? Even going by the standard of the method which the early church practiced doesn't clear anything up. The way the ancient Christians practiced is very much like Catholic Mass and Orthodox...

That's right. I got nothing to apologize for. I've written in another thread about how the people of God in the Bible used ridicule to lampoon the fool and the evil doer. Somehow they're never accused of not being Christ-like. There should rise among the Christian community a spirit of...

1 : the worship of a physical object as a god 2 : immoderate attachment or devotion to something http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/idolatry Unfortunately the definition has been expanded well beyond it's original definition. I only put the dictionary definition here for reference...

So do I. They seem to be everywhere.

I agree that it's all about the attitude that comes across. There's nothing wrong with being excited for Jesus and living a life full of worship, Bible reading, fellowship, and evangelism. And I have no doubt that such zeal is from the Holy Spirit. But when the "I'm better than you" attitude...

I have to admit on this particular thread I'm just letting my hair down, and as an American Indian, I have very long hair. I think everyone here is doing the same, just letting off some steam because this president and his administration has so beleaguered Christian values in America and...
