-- If we are "not allowed to have an opinion," then why are you soliciting opinions of fellow Christians? Your very first post asks the question "why?" And if no opinions are allowed, then we should actually be supporting the stoning of two people caught in adultery and forcing a man who rapes...

-- And you have still failed to show that we are currently living in a police state. Sorry, but your definition does not fit reality. Perhaps a dictionary....or Google the definition of a 'police state.' Glad I could help.

"It doesn't matter what i think,God has put some hard things in his word and told us in no uncertain terms that we have no right to even question it....what did he tell Job ? I am not one of those God is love and nothing else types.I put forth the question to see what others say.I have come to...

What do you think, Strat? Instead of just doing a fishing expedition, why not first state how you feel about the scripture, whether you feel it's accurate today or not, and why? .

-- So, because they have 'the potential' to do it, we are now in a 'virtual police state?' During the civil war LIncoln suspended Habeas Corpus. It was restored at the end of the war, but has been an available tool for every president since then. Using your reasoning we have been living in a...

-- LOL The very fact that it is "premature" actually proves that is inaccurate. That's like saying someone has already given birth to a baby because they are six months along and will be heading to the hospital in about three months. I have said in multiple posts on this board that...

Peter did indeed walk on water. The authors of the Gospels each present it as fact, not as a parable. Each presented it the exact same way without confering with each other. To those that say he didn't walk on water and that there are a number of other events in the Bible that didn't really...

-- Rhetoric like this voids whatever comes after it. If this were indeed a "virtual police state" : 1. You would not be able to respond to this (or any other) post because you would have received a knock at the door at 3:00am and be "among the missing" by now. 2. Your comment would have...

-- So when Peter spoke and the Holy Spirit gave him the words to say....Peter was actually wrong for speaking and should have just prayed? Ummm.....no. And the desire to reach lost souls for Jesus is hardly "carnal." Sorry, but total seperation from your rights as a citizen ensure that your...

-- I appreciate your question, Prism. A very good one. First off, as I said in my other post, Christians are going to face actual oppression in the future, no matter what we do. My vote is still out on the whole Pre/Post Tribulation Rapture thing, but regardless, in the very near future...

-- Absolutely ridiculous. If Christians as a whole were more involved in politics, we would have overturned Roe vs. Wade by now and mllions of babies a year would not be murdered. Also, gay marraige would not have moved from an offense to God to a "civil right" that will shortly become law of...

Is any sinner at the end of time REALLY going to say, "I am going to the Lake of Fire and not hell? Sweeeet!"

I'm with TruthSeeker and Comm.Arnold on this one. You feel the need to come on a Christian web site to namecall yet again. This time about something that has nothing to do with what this site discusses. You seem like the kind of guy who would complain about getting the winning lottery ticket...

I would like to add couple of minor observations. First, I worked as a Russian Interpreter for several years in the US Military. To learn the language to the point where I could translate technical documents and do interpretation betweeen a native Russian speaker and an American with zero...

-- Anyone have an ENGLISH to STRAT dictionary I could borrow?

-- Christians don't. If they had, then Peter would never have been one of the greatest influences of the Christian church after denying Christ....in public...three times....using very harsh language. Neither would Paul's history of hunting, jailing and killing Christians have been forgiven and...

1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders. -- Truthseeker is spot on with this scripture. Note the specific distinction this...

No New Testament would mean that Jesus did not die and rise again. Why exactly are we pondering on this?

-- That is hands-down the most ridiculous post I have read on this board in some time. You are speaking arrogantky from an obvious position of ignorance. A couple quick points from Christianity 101: 1. If you love God you will keep his laws....all of them. 2. You can feed and provider shelter...

mrheath, nothing you said negates the fact that Catholics have the right to deny Communion to non Catholics. Catholics believe that it is the ACTUAL body and blood of Christ they are receiving. One could argue that those coming up to get it who aren't Catholic are acknowledging that they...
