1 Peter 4:1-19 “Christ suffered here on earth. Now you must be ready to suffer as he did, because suffering shows that you have stopped sinning. 2 It means you have turned from your own desires and want to obey God for the rest of your life. 3 You have already lived long enough like people...

Thank you for the informative reply. :) I just figured I throw that in there and see how it was answered. Thanks again! BA

Morality can be defined as "conformity to ideals of right human conduct." "Do you live by morality, or do you live by the indwelling Spirit of God and His revealed word to you?" First I think we need to decide exactly what the moral "code" is. As Christians, are our morals solely based on...

Can anyone answer this...... Who decided that Sunday was in fact the first day of the week? To dig deeper, the days of the week are named after Roman gods and mythical creatures. So when we look at say, Saturday, and use it as the Sabbath, we are using a day named after Saturn. Wouldn't you want...

We fear what we do not understand. If we cannot find a tangible explanation for why something is, we cower. It is human nature to search for reason and a worldly explanation for what we fear. When we understand it and can explain it we no longer fear it. For a follower of Christ, we surpass our...

Let me expand on this. What about when children are baptized shortly after birth? They know nothing of sin nor the Holy Spirit. And, unless they are raised to know, is all for not if they are never taught? I personally do not feel one has to be baptized to receive the Holy Spirit. I was baptized...

WH, Okay, I'll ask. Are you implying that you cannot sin because of being born again in Christ or are you saying that your sins, present and future, are not going to be brought up at judgment? The reason I ask is because there was a former member on here that brought the same thing up and I...

I cant speak for anything Muslim as I have never really investigated their beliefs. However, for Christians I can speak. Any acts of violence beyond the time frame of the OT were obviously wrong. NT going forward there should have never been any justifiable acts of violence. The greatest and...

Scripture is up for interpretation. In this instance, especially saying the pope is the antichrist, I don't foresee that matching. I honestly don't see the pope pulling off a treaty between Israel and the Arabs. If I felt the need to dedicate the time (I don't by the way) to sit down, pick...

I would have to agree. We are taken by so many distractions. The world too often takes our eyes off our Lord. The passion isn't gone from everyone but what I see in the church today is not the passion you would expect.

Welcome to CyB, Bishop. I am glad to hear your approach to ministry. I too look forward to interacting with you on the boards! Welcome and God Bless!! BA

Well, if we did that then how does that make us any better? We are to be examples of Christ on Earth. I'm pretty sure Christ would not make fun of somebody. He would most likely pray for them. If that is how they fill the void in their life then that is on them. God Bless. BA

Interestingly enough, it was leaders of Europe and the Pope who commissioned the crusades... Every time. Those men (knights) went out with the intent of bloodshed to reclaim Jerusalem. The Church knew what it was doing. "It was God's will".

Okay, I get the pagan thing. It upsets everyone. I was pointing out that, at the very least, I would take the opportunity to do something for my daughters. They are too young to know the difference in a pagan holiday. All they know at this point is that their dad took time to say I love you in...

OR.......... 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2New International Version (NIV) The Man of Lawlessness 2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a...

UppsalaDragby, I would like to thank you for pointing out the one thing so many seem to forget and ignore. That is, "Love your neighbor". The message of Christ in the NT was simply that. Love. And the NT is the new covenant. This is where I find it interesting that so many get hung up on OT. We...

I don't know why, but I'm going to entertain this. The point of posting the story was to point out that he was essentially killed for believing in Christ. I want to say more, but I feel I'm being cautioned to keep quiet. This isn't worth getting an admin visit on here.

I never said I didn't care. If I may, where does your discontent come from? There is something rooted deeper. :( My friend, I share compassion for you. Why is your faith so small when even faith as small as a mustard seed can be enough... My friend, why do you doubt? Do you feel as though God...
