    Profile

    You should see your username at the very top right hand corner of any screen on the forum. (It has a small down arrow beside it.) Click on that arrow, and then My Settings. That should do the trick, let me know if you need additional assistance.

    Hello

    Well, that was quick indeed, but welcome! Have a favorite random fact about you or anything?

    Winnetou is here

    Interesting. We might have a similar mind as far as literature goes. I probably annoyed half a dozen of my professors in college with my continued writings on religion (Christianity) in every work I came across. I can't help it, and I love works that deal with faith. I'll make sure to look...

    God Doesn't Show Favortism and in Bibles is Shown "the disciple whom Jesus loved"

    It's a simple answer. James 2 is about judgment. We are not God. It was absolutely the "disciple whom Jesus loved."

    'Because God said so!'

    I think "Because God said so!" illustrates the limit of understanding the unlimited. At the end of the day, we don't get the whole righteous-all-the-time thing, because we aren't (Job 15:14). We attempt to understand why from our limited understanding of the matter - and I think that is a very...

    Does the bible prohibit a woman from being a "pastor"?

    Luke 2:36-38 ESV And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with...

    Supreme Court Decision on the Affordable Care Act (aka ACA, "Obamacare", etc)

    Aspen, I can give you one very real, very tangile cost increase for the middle class. My father's insurance deductible balooned to $3500/year for him and my mom. It went beyond doubling, my Father's medicine now costs $500/month, forcing him to work with his doctors to find another cheaper...

    Supreme Court Decision on the Affordable Care Act (aka ACA, "Obamacare", etc)

    How do you feel about it? Yes, I know this is a can of worms, but I wanted to see what the sentiments were.

    Hello

    Ah, you were the real deal old school then, if you ran your own! :D I admire that. I'm just now getting into "programming" - I use it lightly because it's primarily Javascript/jQuery & PHP, but my job has me dabble in Java and some Objective-C. I have a little background in Sys Admin as well...

    Saying hello

    Sure, I'm always open to HS - it's easier to type. I usually call people by what they sign off as. ;) Oooh, on iPod and top 10. That's a totally loaded question, but: Red (Christian harder rock) OAR Def Leppard Lifehouse (develops Christian themes) Newspring Worship Band CD (large church in my...

    Hello

    Welcome Andrew! Any experience on the old UBB (I believe it was) and things like that? BB's have come a long way. This site was almost ChristianityBB. Used to live in the middle of nowhere myself, growing up. No quite so "deserty" here in SC, but total population in the area was in the...

    Greetings.....I'm new!

    Welcome Tiza. We'll have to penalize your account for signing up and not posting, but I'll direct you to the disciple forum a little later. ... (Just kidding.) Glad you came back - most people don't when they do that sort of thing. ;)

    Saying hello

    Welcome aboard K! Sounds like you'll add a unique perspective here. I look forward to it. What genre(s) of music do you prefer?

    function of quote icon in reply screens

    I hate to be the one to just say "yeah, upgrade!" However, I use IE 8 at work, and from what I've seen it's very buggy with Javascript/Ajax-intensive things like the quote tool. That very well could be your issue. I've been unable to reproduce the issue, but I keep my browsers all pretty...

    Greetings and Salutations

    I don't think there is such a thing as a short journey when it comes to this. We might go down different paths and we all might tarry at different points, but that's why the body can come together and minister to one another in the name of Jesus. We try and deal patiently with here, but it can...

    Obama - Executive Privilege

    I said it when President Bush did it and I'll say it when President Obama did it - this essentially places the Administration in power above the law. This is everything but an outright admission of guilt/culpability. Shy of not having the best candidate ever, I think this will be disastrous for...

    Your verse post reminded me of a recent comment. Only single a single digit amount of polled Christians associated Christ with suffering. That's kinda the core of our faith - that He suffered for our sins.

    Hi

    Welcome to CB! Yeah, the whole Crosswalk decision to go to Facebook puzzled me. I just don't think FB is the best platform for a forum. I like and use FB, don't get me wrong, but it seems to me that it's separate from a forum atmosphere. There are just too many distractions and you're forced to...
