    What do you think of my music?

    Like Andy, kill the reverb - honestly your voice is plenty good on its own to need any modification! (That's a compliment.) :D I like the folksiness (as our scholar above put it) of your music, and I find it worshipful. I don't know if you play locally, but if you don't, you definitely should...

    Devotions

    We are planning to revisit our rules to bring about some clarification of the rules. I will strongly consider your input here about the devotions aspect. Devotions are certainly not forbidden; I don't necessarily view them as having to be daily, but I can appreciate those who do. I am not...

    Just Wondering..........

    No, this community is not a Calvinist or Reformed Christian Forum. It would be Calvinist in the sense that we do have those, but that's going to be the case with any Christian forum for the most part. As to your characterization, I think that's an oversimplification - and Calvinists tend to do...

    I'll let this one run, but I will move it to more a suitable forum. Thanks.

    Is it time to say good bye to the KJV

    And that's just not the whole story, either. Some fathers quoted it, and others never did even when making a defense or explanation of events that would have drawn from the subject of Mark 16:9-20. The passages are absent from the two earliest Greek manuscripts [Bruce Metzger, A Textual...

    Question concerning what to avoid posting

    We only allow links to personal websites in your signature or in the Christian Webmaster Forum. You may cite your own article in a legitimate related discussion, and provide a link since it would be silly for you to be redundant. However, this is strictly monitored by our staff, and citing your...

    Ministerial Credentialing: Biblical?

    Well, let's look at the other side of the coin for just a moment. In the Bible, there were no universities/Bible colleges/credentialing systems, yes. I don't think anyone will make that argument, so let's chunk it by the wayside. The problem with just any John or Jane Doe being able to step up...

    responding to shooting.

    Could I call a timeout for a moment? I had a thought and it is one I think we can talk about - maybe? (I want to say this without looking like a gun apologist, because that is decidedly not the primary driver of my thoughts. For the record, I am open to reasonable dialogue, especially in areas...

    responding to shooting.

    An interesting fact to tack on to my earlier post: Source: New York Times There's also a pretty interesting post over at Reason Magazine. While I find things to disagree with - such as his rebuttal of Huckabee, the article reveals some shocking statistics. There are just a number of...

    responding to shooting.

    I believe that the story was that this individual was denied purchasing a gun himself, correctly and by the law because he did not want to wait 14 days. This reportedly occurred earlier in the week and show that there are reasonable checks on balancing gun ownership with the right to bear arms...

    A petition to allow access to other sections of the forum.

    IA, while I don't particularly doubt that you would not abuse your given privileges, we originally went down this road some time ago. Unfortunately, while a smile minority would handle this ability well, most cannot. Case upon case witnessed a situation where believers would discuss an issue...

    Spiritual Abuse and Christmas Trees

    I thought about this thread when I came across a great post @ Pyromaniacs: http://teampyro.blogspot.com/2012/12/one-day-year.html The article scores some great points. It's written in the usual tone of Pyromaniacs, but you have to appreciate the humor at which they address some topics.

    "The Bible As History and Now"

    Well, I see what you mean, and while I cannot speak explicitly for the author, I think he would reply along the lines that collectively we treat Jesus and all other events in the Bible as something historically true. In other words, we read the Bible generally as an account of the past, much...

    Song of Solomon: Quite Erotic

    Song of Songs 7:3-4 Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon looking toward Damascus. I don't know how you would just take that spiritually.

    Song of Solomon: Quite Erotic

    Well, the Bible contains a number of references that are, for lack of a better word, pretty crude. There's Elijah who taunts the prophets of Ba'al asking if their god has turned aside to use the restroom. The Apostle Paul says all of his religious work as a Pharisee is counted as dung (the...

    Song of Solomon: Quite Erotic

    This always ticks off the overly masculine, but while Song of Solomon deals in the erotic, it also deals as a precursor to our relationship with Jesus. What does that say about the intimacy of the relationship we are to have with Jesus, eh? However, in terms of theology and the relationship of...
