    The Christian Church?

    Aspen, we don't always see eye to eye, but 100% agree on that statement. Thankful, I actually have an appreciation for your focus on a relationship with Jesus. And your statements sound nice of the surface and something that most Christians would agree with. However, the tone underneath is one...

    Is being Nice important?

    Well, we probably each have our own definition of words, but I'd separate the words nice and kindness. Nice to me is more of a superficial word, probably best phrased on the admonishment to a pet or a child - "Be nice..." We have nice in the sense of cordial, mannerly, and friendly and then we...

    can't reply to 'Word of God Bible Study Forum'

    That section is not open to posting. If you want to start a topic about it elsewhere, you are welcome to do that.

    So I'm Switching Antivirus Programs...

    Linux = no Photoshop, no Flash, no Premier, no Publisher, etc. We're actually hosted on Linux, and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon. I've used Linux as a desktop, mostly in a dual boot format, and it just lacks the features for my web design, church work, etc. It's surely cheap and...

    The Rapture

    Well, most of my views about this are known. 1) If you want to label it, I am a "post tribulationer," that is, I believe that Jesus will most certainly return and it will be after Satan's work. 2) I believe those who teach/preach/etc. "pre-tribulational rapture," the return of Jesus first to...

    Copy & Paste Theology

    Well horsecamp, while I do understand where you are coming from, you have to understand the other side of it as well. I cannot speak for Adstar, but I would assume we have the same view in that "copy & paste" theology is not referring to taking the works of this or that Theologian, preacher...

    Johnny Cash

    What do you want to talk about in regards to Cash?

    old new kid on the block

    Welcome to CB, pilgrim. (That'd be quite funny in a John Wayne voice.) Thanks for the comments on the process. I'm actually attempting to refine it because - well - it ends up fast for some and slow for others because it ultimately relies on how fast I approve the accounts. ;) If you're...

    What Is A Methodist?

    Well, they become a casualty of the typical error. I like to call it polarization, but it probably has a better name. I'm not well versed in theological terms, to be honest. However, this is another topic so it's best for another thread. I would be interested in talking about it, though, because...

    Osama is dead

    I'm not going to automatically condemn someone to hell, but I think that thought went out the window when he arrived to see his true God and his victims awaiting his presence. Yes folks, there is absolute evil, and no a single soul is not worth more than the thousands he killed and the...

    What Is A Methodist?

    There is a sort of war within the United Methodist Church much like there are in many denominations. Much of it is Liberal, but not all of it. My disclaimer is I've attended both Baptist and Methodist churches as a member. If you ever read John Wesley - well just read him. He was a man on...

    Grace Illustrated

    This absolutely blew me away the first time I saw it. I don't exactly know how to characterize my emotions when I watched it, but I just had to stop and think about God. Here is such a powerful, powerful manifestation of what grace means. This is real - a concept that is really hard to explain...

    Indeed it can (perception that is) when you tacitly compare a bin Laden to a Jesus Christ. Robbie, I admire your desire to love because it probably stretches well beyond my own patience, but there is a point where a soul is lost and someone who wishes to bring only death, pain and suffering is...

    Best Bible Software Program

    I would like to own the Logos products - maybe some day. I have both Bible Explorer and Glo Bible. I like them both - they both have their merits. I had actually previously owned another program that was purchased for me in college - but honestly I can no longer remember the name. I like Bible...

    Sometimes they're not just limited to senior moments, we all have them. :)

    Seems like ya'll and our midsection here in the states is getting pounded this year! We're bracing for more storms, all of the insurance people are still in town from the last storm. Definitely seems quite violent this year!

    False "pentecostalism" Today.

    I heard someone put it this way - and I think it's accurate. There are those who don't like to talk about the Holy Spirit enough - the Baptists. (I go to attend a Baptist church.) Then there are those who like to talk about Him too much. I find myself in the middle ground. I think there are...

    Shalom from Jerusalem

    Shalom! Sounds like we could use your experience. Unfortunately I'm limited to concordances and lexicons. I'd like to learn more about the language, but the learn Biblical Hebrews books I have only seem to be collecting dust.

    Trying to change

    Welcome William. :) I can only assume what your past is or was, but here is some advice that I received, and I feel it best to pass on. God's grace transcends all of the past. Ironically, I'm listening to a song about the prodigal son as I type this. We are all sinners, and we all fall short...
