    What do you think of long hair and beards?

    And, everybody knows, Jesus didn't watch Lifetime Network. So, there.

    Christian Character and Good Arguments

    http://www.whitehorseinn.org/blog/2012/09/08/christian-character-and-good-arguments/ This article probably says what I've been trying to say better than I could say it. I'm guilty on this one, but I see a TON of it here at CyB: All in all, taking the considerations of this article to heart...

    'Bringing balance' to the Gospel?

    I believe that I read it in Outreach Magazine, but a survey was done that found only 7% (yes, seven!) of the people asked associated the word suffering with Jesus. Even accounting for the fact that the resurrection superceeds the cross itself as the ultimate end, that's still a startlingly low...

    "Extravagant Lifestyles" of Mega-Pastores Explored

    I echo Rach above. The message of the Bible is not that money is evil, but that your money ultimately reveals where you heart is at.

    Using foul language

    Just from an unscientific sense, I have thought this, though perhaps not qualifying it in quite this manner. You also have to look at repetition in culture - IE: music or work environment. I know that I am more likely to curse when the people around me do it. There are many people whom express...

    "Extravagant Lifestyles" of Mega-Pastores Explored

    Having just moved back from the obese back to the overweight category in BMI (just identifying my own struggles), I do find it very difficult to watch certain large pastors preach messages about going without, because it's blatantly hypocritical. I was ashamed to be relatively normal compared...

    "Extravagant Lifestyles" of Mega-Pastores Explored

    There's definitely abuse out there, and it makes us all sick. I just wonder if it's a case of the abuse coming to the surface a little more easily. Yet, it was interesting in this article from The Gospel Coalition about large churches and their senior pastor salaries...

    Using foul language

    Hey Strat, go ahead and show it, maybe we'll get some new visitors from the promotion. While you're at it, might want to get your hands on a Greek copy of Philippians 3:8 so you can show all those people how the Bible uses the Koine Greek for the past tense of crap - and yes, I do mean a certain...

    Does the Bible Version or Translation Really Matter?

    Does the Bible version or translation that you use really matter? For KJVO'ers, I'm just honestly not that interested in your arguments here. I wanted to start by saying that so we'll have a mutal understanding that this will not evolve into a debate about the KJV vs everyone else. I have use...

    What about personal finances?

    It really starts with orienting our view of money towards Jesus. It began for me by realizing that I am a steward of the resources that God has seen fit to provide me with. It's not been easy, because I am surrounded by friends who are still in college (I'm 25 with a kid now), always going on...

    Welcome JC, another southeasterner here! :)

    Sola Scriptura? Really?

    I debated locking and removing this thread altogether, because I see a number of personal vendettas here. However, I think some of the discussion is profitable. All posts violating the rules of this forum have now been removed. Ya'll have been warned on this. I know it's a touchy subject given...

    Is "the Antichrist" teaching a fable?

    This is going to come off as extremely sarcastic, but I know of no other way to put it. I mean it ultimately in love. The above verse makes sense in the context of our English language. Unfortunately, I see a couple of you are stuck applying modern principles to 400 year old English. John...

    Hello from Rocky Wiley

    I'm not sure I can allow a Razorback fan here. (I'm a Gamecock.) I need to see some repenting in dust and ashes! (Kidding.) ;) Welcome to Christianity Board Rocky - I look forward to seeing you around!

    Greetings from Canada!

    Welcome Jess, I started this forum when I was a bit older than you. I actually tried to start another Christian forum at your age, but it just didn't work out. Nevertheless, I can understand where you are coming from. I've said it before, and I will say it again, it excites me to see people your...

    Is "the Antichrist" teaching a fable?

    Well, I am all for cutting the pop culture fat that surrounds the end times, but as to the antichrist being a fable, let's see: I John 2:18 Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last...
