Well, the question about angels being only male is one I've revisited. In the Bible there are no female angels - but I reminded myself I need to be careful when I use an absence of something in the Bible as a negative proof. As far as angels being tempted - well I think that question is a...

You do twist unlike your username implies. What I said is already on record. Your fruit bears itself witness.

Sooner or later, study the Angel of the Lord, Commander of the Lord's Army, Melchizedek, etc. and you'll figure out who He is! I have zero doubt Jesus stood in the fire with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

I don't really want to come charging into this thread brandishing saber, but this quote bugs me. Of course there is going to be more known about God - He is God. This sir/ma'am is what it's all about! The thing about understanding Satan is it's not two great Generals going at one another in...

Ashlee, we hope this place can be a help for you relationship with Jesus! Give me a shout (PM, post, etc) if you need anything. :)

Sorry for the slow welcome - it's great to have you and the rest of the folks! I guess CB attempts to be somewhat of a paradox in that we seek to be explicitly Christian yet open to the reasonable beliefs within - even if they differ from our own. Still a work in progress for sure, but we need...

You've got to give us a chance, posting a request in a thread is not always the best way to get ahold of myself or another team member. Drop me a PM.

Show them otherwise?

A belated welcome to Christianity Board - I believe that we've spoken a bit already. Certainly one of my favorite hymns - it's figured very prominently in my life on several occasions for loved ones. :)

Amazing Grace, you pretty much said what I planned to after reading the initial question from the stranger. Stranger, no harm, no foul - I recognize that people feel very strongly in the other direction - frankly it doesn't bother me if you or someone else doesn't believe the way I do on this...

If you are going to level a charge, it's quite unbiblical to do it without witnesses or even proof. The same could be said of the traditional interpretation. Easily; the language used in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 vary. The traditional method has been to reconcile the two and just assume...

I'm closing this off before it goes any further - can already see from the tone where this is going. We're not interested.

Well, this always makes for an interesting discussion. I don't think the argument that "God" is not really a name for God holds up very well - mainly because in our language we're more apt to say God instead of using a title of his. Personally speaking, I think we should be familiar with the...

Welcome to Christianity Board! The join reason is only displayed to either you or Administrators (only myself right now). No one else can see it. :)

Now what was that comment about this not being true?

This is not a commentary on RJP at all, but running with this thought in general - maybe it's a lack of discernment that leads to compromise? I often feel like Christians compromise on the issues that don't make sense yet are willing to duke it out over issues like Bible versions and music...

I don't think so. The sins - which the world agrees with us in them being "bad things" - you mentioned all mostly involve the person doing them. When a murder takes place, the sin completely affects the murdered person (they're dead). I understand the that people are fully affected by things...

Guys, topic at hand please, if you want to debate the 7 churches, please start a new thread. Thanks!

Just one of those egghead moments, but all verses on this site default to the ESV version with the little popover (requires Javascript be enabled). B) This particular verse stuck out to me lately: I'm reading through the Psalms again, and when I read this I really felt the power of God...

IMHO, the largest issue is the emphasis that is placed on tongues. Some place too much, and others too little.
