I see what you mean about possible copyright infringement. Like many people, I was excited to see that series but then on the very first one they attacked and smeared Christianity and promoted the lie of evolution. I didn't even make it through without turning it off in disgust. Seeing as...

Hi, John, Did you read Hebrews 10:26-27 and then ignore the verse right before it that names your sin of churchlessness? Start going to church like the rest of us and submit to imperfect earthly authority as God commands and maybe we'll all start taking you seriously.

Neither council nor the early church fathers backs up this heresy and...speaking of cafeteria Catholics...I can come up with a similar list of quotes from church fathers affirming the authority of the Catholic Church, and Rome in particular. This is the problem with being eclectic. You also...

You'll have a very difficult task attempting to find biblical proof that heaven is constrained by time just as earth is. In fact, the Bible presents evidence of things that have happened that haven't happened yet, as I alluded too in the "cloud of witnesses" reference to the Old Testament...

BAGHDAD – The message played over loudspeakers gave the Christians of Iraq's second-largest city until midday Saturday to make a choice: convert to Islam, pay a tax or face death. By the time the deadline imposed by the Islamic State extremist group expired, the vast majority of Christians in...

The Catholic Church categorically rejects sola scriptura and has never taught it. Even what you quote runs circles around the obvious, that it's not the Bible that has authority, but the Catholic Church and specifically the Councils of Hippo and Rome at the end of the 4th century that...

You're putting words in Aspen's mouth. I can promise you that's not at all what he's saying.

Though I generally vote Republican, I'm not sold on any party either. And when I talk about the demonic Left, I'm not necessarily referring to the Democrat party because Satan has loyal servants in the GOP too. The Left is a culture in this country hostile to the knowledge of God, persisting...

Tex, I agree that "present with the Lord" is something different than how it's popularly translated, the disembodied spirit belief. But as I'm arguing with another person on a different thread, the reason we're with Christ after death is because like Christ, we are no longer subject to time and...

Imagination is the only way to conceive the fact that there exists a reality outside of time. You say that paradise is constrained by time, I say that it isn't because those who have died are no longer in time. In fact, the only way for people to be with Christ after death (remember even the...

The holy Scripture is many things, but it is not an authority. Jesus invested his authority directly in a living, breathing IMPERFECT Church, not a book.

Await? I think you're stuck in the linear/temporal/sequential mindset of those of us stuck in time. It may be surprising, but those who die cease to be constrained by time and sequence that they need to "wait" for the rest of us. God exists outside of time, seeing the beginning from the end...

Good thread, Tex. You're right about the inseparable nature of our being that we are permanently fused, body and soul, and will be raised that way as Jesus is, with flesh and blood. Many books have been written and movies made about disembodied spirits and it seems to be the essential premise...

Madad, I've argued repeatedly that the rising popularity of the KKK, Christian Identity, White supremacist and separatist groups is a backlash against runaway political correctness perpetrated by the demonic Left. People are made to feel guilty because they're white, and on the other hand, I've...

Hi Joyce! Are you the friend I invited to this site? Just start a thread in the Christianity Board Starting Point section http://www.christianityboard.com/forum/18-christianity-board-starting-point/ and we can all be properly introduced.

I absolutely agree and have made this argument repeatedly, how God is working in the lives of every person to bring them into a loving relationship with him that will extend into eternity. Debates over who's "saved" and who's not based on arbitrary standards and strainers of technicalities...

It's a doctrine I've heard preached several times, albeit usually through a misinterpretation of passages from 1John chapter 3 (he who is born of God cannot sin). For those trained in the ways of grace, the very attempt to put limits on God's mercy, as the OP seems to do, should put us on...

That's the second time I've seen you invoke Angelica's name, as if somehow the mention of a moderator is supposed to frighten or intimidate people. And then answering criticism with "sorry I'm not a perfect Christian as you are?" Nomad is correct in his assessment of you. Nobody claimed to be...

Love you too, John. In your attempt to make me look stupid, you didn't bother to use Google before hand. I've done that before and it's embarrassing. "This vale of tears" is a phrase taken from the Salve Regina prayer in the Rosary, but it's an ancient phrase that has broad meaning applying to...

The errors of Calvinism and you should know better. God's sovereignty is not threatened by man's free will, as the Calvinist would have you believe.
