Well, here is a thought I wrestle with when it comes to philosophy. We are attempting to use the rules of creation to define the creator. In other words, God created this world to function in a certain manner. That includes the logic of this world which would clearly place it below the...

Looong day already.

Well, I'm going to skip the language about reading your Bible first, checking up on what is said (or written), etc. ;) I have a wide range of reading that I do, but here are some recommendations: 1. Radical by David Platt (This book will change your perception on what we should be doing.) 2...

There are no prayers to recite in Christianity meant specifically for a new believer or believer. The words do not matter, God is a discerner of the heart. Prayer is pretty much a conversation with God. No incense or specific phrases are needed. Think of it as talking to a very wise and...

If we interpret every dream, whim, and everything else as from God we run into the same problem. The number one reason I'll give you is what unfolded in the Garden of Eden in Genesis. God literally walked there - Adam and Eve did not even need the dreams and visions - and yet they still believed...

Alright, that's enough. If you want this kind of banter, take it to the Fellowship Forum.

Well, I'd say I recommend any of those four, the NIV is not exactly the favorite out of the bunch, but it's the Bible. :) I'll try and keep it short - both questions deserve long, long answers and more words than you or I would want to read. 1) Moses wrote the book of Genesis. There are...

If the church did what it was supposed to, such networks would not be a problem.

1. Yes. If God preserves his Word across cultures and languages, then he will preserve an accurate version for his children to read now. There are many battles across this front within the faith, but we are left with a wide variety of translations that essentially say the very same thing about a...

Selene, you are in our prayers! It looks like things are better for the US side - the waves were strong in areas but didn't seem to be life-threatening. I am thankful to God for that! However, the situation does seem very dire in Japan and other areas in the region. Has anyone heard any more...

Well folks, I'm just sorry you have to deal with that sort of nonsense. I've been able to confirm that Johnoneone is indeed Jacob T. It looks like he posted several threads, sent 23 PMs to various members, and other things. We frequently deal with unbalanced folks unfortunately, so we will do...

Establishing a no-fly zone - which is at the crux of the argument - is by definition an act of war. Intervention is cute language meant to dress it up. Here's why. A no fly zone is not just a poster statement on the wall. You bomb radar sites, SAM sites, keep the air force grounded (or wiped...

Welcome Barry! Us guys are lucky with the beautiful ladies that tolerate us! Hope you enjoy the community and most importantly, I hope this place helps you in your walk with Father.

Welcome, welcome! I would have been your neighbor to the north had you still been in Georgia. I have to say that Angelina has already warned me about you. (Only kidding, she had nothing but good things to say!) :) I hope you stick around and become active. Our little community under Christ is...

I do believe in the existence of Tyche aka Nibiru aka Planet X aka Nemesis. When I say believe, I mean in the sense that there is credible evidence for something out there that has some degree of influence on our solar system. Astronomers since the ancient days have hypothesized and tried to...

Perhaps some folks aren't know-it-all's arch. Enoch is a very interesting book. If we can date a book to BC - guess what, it was at Qumran (I assumed everyone knew that) - then it certainly had some level of traction. (Let's drop the sarcasm in case you haven't yet gotten the hint.) I'm not...

I think the Bible is clear elsewhere on manslaughter and lesser charges as well as sanctuary cities. It was also a requirement for at least two witnesses (Numbers 35:30-31). It gets frustrating, but I think the problem is not so much racism (which works both ways - I've seen skin color get...

My eye is on this thread, don't try me either way or either side. I'd prefer not to get into denominational dogmatics, there are numerous other venues for that sort of thing.

Time to close this one down, there's too much pro-Catholic and anti-Catholic rhetoric here.
