Welcome to Christianity Board Grandma Dolittle. We're glad to have you with us1 :)

Hey, when you call out my deacons I stand in support of what he or she is saying when Biblical. Particularly when the hypocrite term is being thrown out there. Like Rach said, Eve is made in the image of God. Imago Dei. However, I can be said to be in the image of my mother. In fact, I get told...

What about the Rapture? When you hear the term rapture, what exactly comes to mind? Chances are you either picture images of total chaos, destruction and death or you just became a little bit nervous and possibly even completely uncomfortable. You don’t have to look any further than cable...

It looks like it's working to me, but let me know if you find that it does not stick.

Well, it's with mixed emotions that I would like to let you know that Jiggyfly decided to step back from his Deacon position here at Christianity Board. I say mixed emotions because we are sad that he will no longer be a team member, but we are glad that he will remain a member of the community...

I Corinthians 5:1-2 ESV It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife. And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you. Context is...

I'm a Christian because I was called by God - in spite of my attempts to run away from what I was called for, he made it work anyway. Honestly, being a Christian involves a very personal and intense experience. My own "proofs" for God haven't come about because of things I've read, talked about...

Love it. I absolutely love hearing about the power of God! Thank your for sharing your testimony with us, and sharing those manifestations of what Jesus meant when he said greater things than this you will do. I'm awakening to many of these things as we move forward in our little church and...

Case in point, unfortunately.

An easy example would be Jesus on the sabbath. Since the work is already done for me: I can provide more as this was the MO of the Pharisees. Well, you don't hear that outright, but I've heard plenty of variations. One of my least favorites is that "Where were you last week at church?"...

Jesus. That'd be my answer. Simple, trite, overused maybe - it's the "Sunday School" answer - but it points to a faith that is unlike any other in the world. These complex problems are far beyond our narrow perspective as humans (since our relationship is that of the art looking at the creator...

You know what's funny about a statement like that? Jesus was pretty polite to an adulterer. He was downright nice to a tax collector. He forgave a man who was condemned on a cross - and had obviously done something to warrant such a punishment as confessed in Scripture. If you want to take it...

Andy, I think the difference is that the wrong things need to be torn down, but Jesus, as our example, always built back up. I would submit Nicodemus as a prime example. Sometimes when he says the way is hard, people peeled off and dropped it, but if they still came he built them up. I see way...

You can always drop myself or another team member a private message (PM) by clicking the envelope symbol at the very top right of any screen on the forum. However, that form was dated, so I worked out a new one. Try this link...

Look, this article condemns things I STRUGGLE with even today - but the Lord showed me grace on some of these things, I have repented of my past actions. However, I think this article hits right on some issues that I struggle with and some issues I see in this community. Pastor Perry Noble made...

I try not to make it a habit to use course language, but there are times when that level of emphasis is necessary - as evidenced by numerous Biblical writers. Unfortunately, our Bibles have decided to gloss over some tough terms that were curse words and phrases in their day. That's given us the...

John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day. I'll be totally honest here. I've struggled with this issue. For a long time, I held to a belief much like Veteran and Episkopos espouse where we have those called (IE: Paul) and...

No ambiguity? That's a complete oversimplification and exactly why we need to talk about this! God chose masculine pronouns for a reason. He could have chosen to remain neutral or to assume explicitly feminine, but He chose masculine for a reason to illustrate his relationship with us. As for...

I realize the title is a little ruffling, but I recommend taking the time to read this article. I don't think it a waste of a few minutes or your time. It's basically about a father that realizes the actions towards his son were wrong, but something else about the gospel hits him along the way...

Welcome to Christianity Board, Cathy! :) Hope to see you around and hear more from you!
