I don't see why not. Buzzfruit, I understand your argument on one hand. However, instead of saying don't get involved, my argument would be more along the lines of cautiously get involved. I think you bring up a very important point. God sits on the throne regardless of leader. We all do...

I don't understand why this is such an uncomfortable issue. I know the extreme is to take this into the neighborhood of racism, but this understanding of what happened to the 10 tribes who went north is not about any sacred chosen race meant to be masters of another. Very clearly that ignores...

Canuck, the disagreement comes because of Jesus, and I think much of it from the difficulty in understanding the legal lingo used to describe exactly what he did for us. The New Testament represents a paradox to the Old Testament at first glance. I think many Christians struggle mightily to...

I'm intrigued on the difference between moralism and Christianity. Some say we are a nation of laws. Others, I've heard, say we are a nation of morals. What do you think is the difference between someone simply following morals and someone following morals as a part of following God? How do...

Welcome to CB, Jake!

The chief aim of a church - be it the body or a group of believers meeting - is to glorify God. How that is done can come in a variety of forms - fellowship, food, preaching, teaching, etc.

Eh, the often willing blindness in understanding the serpent is a large hang up in Christianity, both for believers and those looking at our faith from the outside as potential believers. It comes in right on the heel (excuse the pun) of the whole 6,000 year timeline debacle. We hang ever so...

Prentis, I know where you are coming from. I think that essentially many believers that argue are often not that far apart. However, our language tends to fail us. I know there are many times that no matter how I state something, I'm going to come off as too liberal in my theology or too...

With all due respect, what exactly do you consider to be the whole message of Jesus!? Peter is proclaiming Jesus here and the message is a single unified message. He was attempting to get the Jewish population present to recognize their error, but at the same time he's preaching the Messiah from...

It's just a warning system; I'm sorry but I'm not sure how else to explain it. Like most forums, our team has the ability to warn members when they violate a rule. Your warning bar would increase and a reason for the warning should be displayed.

This interpretation makes no sense in the light of Acts 2. If this wasn't a message for Gentiles at this time, then why did God very clearly and deliberately ordain a time where tongues were spoken in a variety of Gentile languages even down to the dialect? Acts 2:8-11 Then how is it that each...

Christ > Rapture Period. The whole forest for the tree (in this case), thing. It is the book of Revelation of Jesus Christ. That whole Bible is not about the Rapture (or whatever term we use), but is about Jesus.

I used the ESV, HCSB, NIV, NLT, and NKJV primarily but I do often refer to the KJV as well. I moved away from the KJV because of the blank stares and time spent trying to explain the KJV language to someone who is not an English major. I also began to examine more deeply a lot of the...

A warn status is part of our warning system. It is displayed only between the member his or her self and the team.

Welcome Anthony!

Hiroki, you'll have friends here, I promise. Welcome to Christianity Board! :) We're all imperfect people here, so no need to apologize!

I think this has gone far enough.

I have not be able to post until now due to my grandfather passing away. Although this is a Christian forum, my greatest need was there with my family and his friends in life, not responding to posts on the internet. I'll be blunt, because it's only fair to you and this community. I do not hide...

This was the editing work of my cousin and we came up with this statement for the funeral and papers. I just wanted to share it with you so you could be blessed by my grandfather. When I think of a follower of Christ, I think of him. He had time for everyone and his humility exalted Him to a...

Happy Birthday Shep! :)
