I have a childhood friend who raps Christian songs. I'm not a huge rap fan, but the songs are pretty powerful. I don't know how him selecting a particular beat or sound would be evil. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive...

John, I'm also 23 and married for just under a year now to my high school sweetheart. We have some definite similarities as well. Thanks for your service in the USAF (I have a cousin currently serving.) Sounds like we're interested in some of the same things. Hope to see you around these parts...

I'm closing this topic; there are enough of these discussions. Why not try and overcome the negatives instead of posting about them? Thanks.

I deleted the last post, please try and keep this civil, all. I'm seeing traces of some very interesting thoughts, but your style is difficult to follow I admit. Essentially you seem to be going to the argument that it doesn't make sense that the complex arose from the simple without the hand...

No. I expect that we as Christians should work to drown out a voice like that. That's what's passed off as Christianity and the love of Christ. Where the issue is coming in for me is that "normal" Christians play a devil's advocate with this situation that can end up being...well..the devil's...

Go check Google News (as an example) just for a moment. It's labeled Christian on much more than one occasion. It seems we agree that's not the way to handle thing, but do you realize that people like this group begin to define the Christian experience for anyone on the outside looking in? Right...

That's for anyone who wants to defend this group as remotely Christian (which, set group being the subject of this thread makes my post relevant to the topic). We can apparently throw homosexuals out of Christianity for being homosexual but we cannot throw out those who revel in murder (Remember...

Again, no one in particular was the butt of that remark, I promise. We're all guilty of messing that aspect at times. My point is let's all take a look at us first. We tend to pull the trigger on the other person not realizing we launched the first rock at the glass house.

Let me think on it a bit. :)

Times like this are exactly why the Messiah said this: How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly...

I'm not so sure our Savior would have spent his time at funerals with signs that say "Thank God for Breast Cancer," "Thank God for IEDs," and "Thank God for Dead Soldiers!" I don't buy that argument for a minute. In fact, with regards to the few funerals he was documented at the folks came back...

I think it's time that your (troll) account ran it's course alongside this thread. It's quite funny how you'll (lie) and sign up as a Christian on a string of Christian forums to attempt to show that Christians are horrible people. In reality, you're not fooling anyone. Even the most liberal of...

No, but you acknoweldge that God created the world and everything in it, right? Or does God have no control over the very natural ocurrences that he created?

God doesn't kill people or more specifically, children? Now that's an interesting statement. How do you rationalize disasters, death by natural causes, child murders, and so on? God enables bad things to happen. Isn't that called accessory in our time? If you're rationalizing that God doesn't...

Welcome to the community, Darron. I do hope this place is at least a little different from the run-of-the-mill Christian forum. There is nothing like followers of Christ getting together.

Ah, but you're trying so hard to frame the argument. Either God is a baby-murderer or he is a bad person (a bad god). The Israelites this culture killed were also real. There are things you don't know. There are things I do not know. God knows them. God knows the heart and for some important...

Well it's not documented, but we've all seen the pictures of the 12-year-olds (and younger) with AK-47s, so it probably did happen in that era as well. Again, a culture immersed in it with hearts turned away from God and love would be Father's jurisdiction. He'd (and does continue to) know that...

Well, God said he did it. Sometimes - and it's not fun nor by first choice - evil has to be removed. In Deuteronomy 25:17-19 it clearly states that the Amalekites essentially picked off the weak and sickly. Unfortunately, "please stop" doesn't always get the job done. Whether we'll admit it or...

Well, with some of the doctrine out there you'd think the eulogy was complete for the Old Testament. I know the number fluctuates, but we can say there are at least around 300 direct quotations of the Old Testament in the New Testament. There are countless allusions to the Old Testament...

We're not going to handle issues on here in someone else's threads. If you need to talk about it, start a thread here: http://www.christianityboard.com/forum/35-christianity-board-helpdesk/ Thanks.
