    The earth is still global?

    I conclude from the last that seven posts that God wants us to give each other the benefit of sincerity, even if that precludes the possibility of universal agreement. I further conclude that God wants us each to trust Him without question, and oversees our questioning at the expense of trust...

    The earth is still global?

    'Google search' is full of Bullinger and The Flat Earth Zetetic Society in which he was a leading light. See 'A Documented Flat Earther - WordPress.com' "E. W. Bullinger, D.D presided over the flat-earth meeting at Exeter Hall in London. (the same hall where his Trinitarian Bible Society was...

    The earth is still global?

    You don't have to be a 'verbally inerrant Bible believer' to know that the earth indeed is 'flat'. All you have to do is the put yourself in a position where you can gaze out across an ocean and observe a ship sailing away from you. Eventually it will gradually 'drop' until it disappears out of...

    How do you 'see' God?

    Ok guys and gals, the topic may well quieten down, but my preoccupation continues apace. The thoughts of Ernest Tuff (the author of www.christianissues.co.uk/) had such immediate impact on me simply because they so exactly brought back the nostalgic memories of the beliefs and mode of worship...

    The power and conviction of his faith is changing me in ways of which I hope you would approve.:rolleyes:

    Go to Contact - Abundant Life in Jesus Christ And scroll to the bottom. You'll also see a lot of good additional topics listed in the left hand column. Also you can 'Google' Ernest Tuff, Ballymena ..... He's quite a stalwart in many areas of life.

    My struggles with my Faith.

    I picked on this song after hearing it on what I have found to be the most poignant ‘Word of God’ (to me) on a site from the very last page 16 of Google search for ‘Christian forums’. The song was one that our choir used to sing at Gospel Rallies over 70 years ago, and the site took me back so...

    My struggles with my Faith.

    In which respect I always regard God's Holy Spirit as my Divine anti virus program inasmuch as He filters out errors (if any there be) before planting the true living word into the fleshy tables of my heart.;)

    My struggles with my Faith.

    For me, it all began in my early adolescence, when I progressed from junior Sunday School and up into the Young People’s Fellowship in the Chapel opposite my parent’s bungalow. We were a strong and closely knit group that filled two rows of pews when we attended the Chapel’s Sunday services, and...

    The earth is still global?

    So current space exploration photos show once again that the earth is global. And yet some still accord great credibility to eminent 20th century fundamentalist theologians, including such as Dr E W Bullinger, who promoted the 'Gap Theory' in support of their conviction that "the earth is flat...

    'Death is swallowed up in victory' -When?

    Actually, the meaning is perfectly clear ..... but differs according to either the denominational background in which one was raised, or later morphed into, or according to one's personal theology if one has decided to 'go it alone'. The only ones to whom it is not quite so clear are those who...

    'Death is swallowed up in victory' -When?

    I suppose semantics can be a form of "Fun", or may seem "petty stuff" Semantics (ar per Google search): The branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning. The two main areas are logical semantics, concerned with matters such as sense and reference and presupposition and implication...

    Truth is not relative

    Which 'Hell' is that? Gehenna, Hades, or Tartarus?

    Can men with man buns be saved?

    I have been a Christian for well over 70 years having been baptised by immersion in 1951. Whilst I was away doing my National Service my original assembly imploded in controversy to the degree that, when I was demobbed, I tried in vain to settle into another place of worship. Eventually I...

    Can men with man buns be saved?

    I see no mileage in perpetuating this 'He said - I said' confrontation.

    What I believe about the Atonement

    The way I see the question of ‘sin’ and its 'atonement' is as follows: Firstly, we all have an inherently sinful nature that needs to be atoned. Secondly, we then all commit actual acts of sin once we reach our own unique age of discretion, and those acts of sin also need atonement. Then I...

    Can men with man buns be saved?

    I guess that you must be ‘young in the faith’, either in terms of ‘time’, or in terms of having spent your fellowship in the shielded environment of a very narrow minded ‘sinless perfectionist’ sect. You jump to your cherry picked verse to prove that the reason why so many scriptures appear to...

    Can men with man buns be saved?

    I too could quote cherry picked scriptures which refute yours. Indeed scriptures can invariably be cherry picked which undermine scriptures that underpin contrary convictions. It's the essence of the plenary Biblical standpoint.:confused:
