What I know is that Jesus changed me and saved my life in a way that I could not do for myself, and He gave me a knowledge of Him and His peace that I could not find within myself. There have been many who tried to tell me why I'm not really a "Christian" and I have no time for them. It is as...

This is the teaching of all the world's great religions except Christianity. The Budhists, Hindus, and Muslims all teach that man can achieve eternal life through his own actions. Just as we did not make ourselves (in spite of the fantasy I once held that I was a "self-made man") we also...

I am not convinced that love is a feeling. I think many times we confuse the feeling we have toward others or toward God as "love" when it is really our own need for closeness. Love is not needy. Love, I believe, is an action. It is how we treat one another, how we work at jobs we may not...

I agree. Israel will not see peace, nor will the rest of the world, until our Lord returns. I believe the Bible is quite clear on that point.

A six year old child has no say in what school the adults in his life enroll him into. His mother kept marrying Muslims. Once he was of age, Obama did not pursue a belief in Islam. He says he is a Christian. Since I'm not God, I cannot judge his heart, but I don't see any basis in saying he...

I've never won anything in my life. I'm so excited...

I agree, Christians tithing a formula-based 10% is not Biblical. There is a lot of errant teaching on this. Some may be called to give all. Some may be called to give little monetarily for a season. But all we are and all we have are the Lord's and we can lay no claim of our own on any of it...

(marksman;55697) Nowhere in scripture does it say that you can believe what you want as a christian as long as you are sincere. Thankfully I've never made that argument. You do realize that Acts 2 is when the church came into existence? As numbers grew you don't think meeting in homes became...

Kephas, in Aramaic, means rock. Only rock. Not big rock, not little rock, just rock. Since the exact phraseology spoken in Aramaic by Christ was not recorded in Aramaic, it is pointless to argue that Jesus spoke this word or that word in Aramaic because there is no way to know for sure what...

We do argue endlessly about "the rock". Not much can be gleaned from the writer's use of "petra" vs. petros, however, since Jesus did not speak Greek when he made that statement. He spoke Aramaic. Aramaic does not have the same distinction of meaning that Greek does between the two words. One...

Focusing on what kind of building Christians meet in sounds very legalistic to me. There were very practical reasons why the very first Christians didn't mosey down the street to their local church to meet. They were being severely persecuted, and there were no churches. Those who seek to...
