Colossians 3:12-15 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above...

Please keep the topic on track and refrain from insulting other members. Thanks.

Well, the HCSB is a great translation on its own merit. I own a copy of the hardback HCSB Study Bible and I am perfectly happy with it. It consistently stays in my top 4-5 study bibles. The notes are Baptistic in nature, but I know of folks in other traditions who consult the HCSBSB. The big...

Welcome - like the name choice and it *possibly* suggests the seminary that you attend, but I might be wrong in that because I don't know if there are multiple seminaries in Philly. ;) I think having enough time and running a forum are exact opposites, ftr. :D We're glad to have you, and...

So should I respond with the charge of just one more agenda-driven Catholic or can we actually get past that sort of thing here? I'm sorry, but with all due respect it seems as though you are in search of persecution to highlight and/or a fight. Obviously there are issues amongst our churches...

Please stay on topic. If you desire to debate an ancillary or tangential issue, please take it to another thread. Thanks.

Well, this is not exactly the place to get into a discussion about the merits and understanding of sola scriptura. You are welcome to participate in an existing thread or start a new one, though. (I, for one, would be happy to participate in a focused discussion.) So I will be cutting off that...

[/font][/color] Simple; it acknowledges the ambiguity of the relationship of Catholics (and to a lesser extent Orthodox) to Protestant Christianity, yet retains the acknowledgement that there are certainly Catholic and Orthodox Christians. I'm thinking specifically about the Catholic view of...

I think we've come more under the sway of the opinions and biases of others as an extension of recent modern culture. In addition, I think we try to do many things without the Holy Spirit, thinking that we can do a better job ourselves with western logic and persuasive emotional arguments from...

Try it now; I had turned off the board auto feature in the past because it was not working correctly. It's updated for me, but I need to make sure that it works the same for others. Keep in mind your timezone if you changed it to be accurate will need to revert.

Welcome Lisa! Always nice to have a lurker come out of the shadows - if you will. ;) We all are fallible and we all make mistakes - happy to hear about your ministry, because he matters the most! I look forward to hearing more from you and about your ministry. Perhaps you can inspire others...

Christianity Board Statement of Faith Christianity Board (CyB) acknowledges that the nature of a forum community dictates that its members will hold a diverse range of beliefs within the Christian faith. In addition to this, we recognize that all Christians are a work in progress (Ephesians...

Well I don't fully disagree with you in what you said dragonfly - and thus I don't want this to appear as an argument - but I still believe it comes down to self deception. I don't think it strange that since Satan is a deceiver (transforming himself into an angel of light) that so are his...

How did you come to believe in air?

I agree. I don't know a Catholic who doesn't own a Bible, personally. It's innuendo like that which destroys the legitimate debate and disagreement that we do have. I have been a part of Protestant churches where over 90% of the congregation did not carry a Bible to services; so we have our own...

Welcome; I've been learning a good deal about the Anglican faith lately myself. I hope you'll enjoy your time here at Christianity Board! :)

An excellent point. One of the things I've come across in this debate is people like to use half statistics. One of the arguments I've seen advanced against the CT is that it's not a true text in one sense of the concept. The CT is instead the scholarly result of the texts that we do have...

Nomad and I have a history on this topic - and thanks to him I was able to go back and reevaluate what I know and believe. The TR is not the same thing as the MT. I'd argue that the TR is a subset of the MT at best and the case can reasonably be made, it would seem, that the TR may not even be...
