Agreed, stick the topic on hand and be respectful. If you know something angers or disturbs someone, don't bring it up in another thread not really related to the subject. It will be nixed from here on out. I appreciate the respect Brother Mike.

Well Brother Mike, I'm mainly responding because I get the feeling you think I'd like to "chuck the wife" which is not the case. I think you raise an interesting point and the phrase given in marriage can either be interpreted to mean the act or the institution. It seems obvious we'll know who...

Unfortunately, this is one of those arguments that seems to polarize. You're pretty much either a Calvinist or Arian with neither side allowing the middle ground. Those horrible "Arians" (which IMHO is a misnomer anyway) deny that God is all powerful because they assert some degree of free will...

Does this quote ring a bell? I don't think we should have to play guess who said it. The truth of the matter is, the government has been doing this for some time. There were plans prior to this administration for civil discord sermons if things were ever to get out of hand. You're simply going...

Working on a custom bbcode so that Bible verses will be distinct from post quotes. =)

Thank you all for the support! :)

I find most "Study Bibles" to be lacking - and I use this phrase not because I want to. I further find myself getting more than annoyed with what's passed off these days as a study tool. Perhaps my definition of a study Bible is different from others, but I expect a Bible where you have a...

I made the announcement through email and in the shoutbox, but I simply wanted to make a post that CB now has a Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christianity-Board/111827232192527 We would appreciate the like (if you really do like us) as we attempt to expand our discussions and...

I'm not going to speculate too far on this subject, but with regards to dinosaurs, I think you have to look at them as a corruption. Satan rebelled sometime prior to Adam's appearance - and I believe that rebellion was around 12,000-13,000 years ago at the end of it (that's IMHO not necessarily...

That's part of a forum atmosphere - I think reasonable debate is part of being a knowledgeable Christian well studied in the word. Iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). I guess what I'm driving at is that to me there is a difference between going "Hey, you know how you believe in a Saturday...

I can count at least one member that has left us over this, so I want to get it out in the open. It concerns a provision of our forum rules: I realize this rule is pretty ambiguous, so I'm willing to clarify it a bit. When we say "excessive" we simply mean that when your posting solely...

I'm always thinking of I Corinthians 15 in that regard: I Corinthians 15:40-4 There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory...

Shane, I know what you mean about only 10... 1) His death and salvation which has led to my life. 2) My wife - she is my earthly rock. 3) My family - now made larger by the marriage. 4) My friends who stick by me. 5) A new home I don't deserve but am very thankful for from God. 6) The ability...

Robster, you're not the only one who wonders about things like this. I guess when your current body is so tied to eating (and enjoys it that much), you tend to think about things like that. Brother gumby there gave the verses that suggest manna is a part of the heaven diet and then Brother...

Right, I feel like I'm arguing circles here but jump back earlier in the discussion Brother Mike, I don't think you're quite understanding my argument. The OP made speaking in tongues the way he judges a "true" church; my attempt is to get him to simply espouse his beliefs and make the statement...

Brother Mike, it's a rhetorical question... Maybe you should take your own advice? Or does it only count when you cut and paste it, just not anyone else? I'd like to know how an entire verse is in less context than various phrases of others as well. You give me this personal amalgamation of...

So then you will agree that you are saying you must speak in tongues if you've received the Holy Spirit, correct?

Who exactly are you to judge what is "significant?" Why do you have to see a sign to know a believer? Did Paul - the same guy who wrote about tongues - not warn about the requirement of signs in I Corinthians 1:22? What about Christ in Mark 8:12? Are we looking for signs or are we looking for...

Just a friendly reminder to stay on target and topic with respect to the OP. :) It's probably not the first time you've seen me say this, but be very careful of where you put who when it comes to things like this. I don't recommend writing anyone off to heaven or to hell, but I think the...
