    Is the Holy Spirit a "He," "She," or “It”?

    Ah, but look at the definition of person more closely, particularly in the realm of Philosophy. :) http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/person?s=t Our word persona comes from the original meaning of the word, and it was adopted by the church to describe(in Latin) the trinity. The Bible...

    Spell Checker

    The problem is that they don't make them anymore as plugins since modern browsers all have it now. (And yes, I know I'm excluding IE because it doesn't have one and is not a modern browser, ha.) Unfortunately, I'm not sure what to suggest to handle it. I mistyped several words in the post both...

    HCSB, the New Bible Reference Version

    Thanks for the support. And that's fine. I think people should use a Bible that they are still comfortable with. I still quote from the KJV - did it the past couple nights I taught at church even. It's still the most poetic for me, and I refer to it. I have a nice Companion Bible sitting on my...

    HCSB, the New Bible Reference Version

    Christianity Board will now use the HCSB, the Holman Christian Standard Bible, as its default version for all popup references. I literally took months to analyze what version we would use. Many of you may remember back when we started with the KJV and then moved to the ESV (and the NIV for a...

    The Blended Gospel of today

    I just finished talking about this at our church this past Wednesday. I taught on a scripture which completely contradicts what you're trying to say: Romans 4:16-17a HCSB This is why the promise is by faith, so that it may be according to grace, to guarantee it to all the descendants-not only...

    Secular music

    One pastor had a nice way of putting it. God didn't die to save music, so music is not exactly secular. He died to save people. That being said, there's obvious music that goes against God and everything he says. I happen to believe most songs can be redeemed and do a fair share of listening to...

    Hello my Siblings in Christ

    Welcome to the community, Joseph. I had my first inkling to start a Christian forum around your age. To be honest, it completely flopped and went nowhere. A few years later, I started CB in my freshman year of college and here we are now. I guess the moral of my sharing that is that be prepared...

    Spell Checker

    Wow, I completely missed this - sorry Rocky! What Firefox version are you running? I tested with mine, FF 11.0, and spell checker works both within the quick reply and regular reply.

    Jesus Said When He Returns (Think!)

    I don't think we need another discussion on this.

    ♫ Happy Birthday Andy ♫

    Hey Andy, hope you have a happy one for your 25th anniversary of your 21st! :D

    The Church Is Not Walking In Her Full Authority !!

    No, I don't think the church has stepped up to the plate. Jesus said this: John 14:12 HCSB I assure you: The one who believes in Me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. Andy, I'm going to pick on your comment(s) here...

    Jesus is Risen!

    Happy Resurrection Sunday!! There's not much else to say, but I'm reminded of a chorus from one of my favorite songs: -Planetshakers, The Anthem/Halleluhjah There's not much to say beyond that, death could not hold Him down! Luke 24:1-12 HCSB On the first day of the week, very early in the...

    Preacherman Introduction

    Welcome to the community!! :) Got Questions is a pretty good site, and I greatly respect what they are doing over there. We used to share links, and it probably wouldn't hurt for us to link to them again. I don't "agree" with everything over there that they post, but I do greatly appreciate...

    Saturday is Sabbath day...

    TruthSeeker, your condescending tone continues to amaze me, but I'll put that aside. In fact, I could point out that your assertion that I am ignorantly is grammatically incorrect, but I won't do that. :) Apparently, however, you need to heed in your own advice in the arena of being well read...

    Saturday is Sabbath day...

    The above sounds a lot like the pro-circumcision argument Paul encountered, unfortunately. :( Colossians 2:16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. Matthew 11:28-29 Come to me, all who labor and are...

    Biblical Literalism

    Well, I don't want to make this overly complicated, but I see two different questions being answered here by various posters. A literal interpretation in the true sense of the word would mean that every time the Bible says something, we take it literally. IE: Some of the passages in Revelation...

    Handling favor and a good name.

    Psalm 149:4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation. You give God the glory and call it a day. Wake up tomorrow and do it over again.

    Greetings to all the members

    Welcome to Christianity Board, and your English seems just fine to me. :) Hopefully we can both be a place for you to fellowship AND help you find a place to fellowship in your area. I'm much more in tune with finding a local body of believers compared to what I once was, but I still believe...

    Where is the Ark of the Covenant today?

    I personally think it is in heaven based on the passage in Revelation. I believe it will only be revealed in the final day as a sort of visual confirmatio of God's faithfulness - but at that point we have Jesus coming back so it won't be the highlight.

    Pray for these children

    As a general rule of thumb, we don't allow solicitations for donations here, sorry. We just don't have the man/woman power to follow up on these.
