I cleaned this mess up, and appropriate warnings have been issued. Let's conduct ourselves as followers of Christ and not men (and women) of the world just out to "be right" or make a point. Back on topic now. :)

Folks, it's our policy not to allow for the solicitation here. It's absolutely nothing personal, but we simply don't have the resources to check up on any and every individual/organization that wants money. While this one may not be a fake (it doesn't appear that way at first glance, but we have...

Had to chuckle at this one. I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY (WHO LOVES ME) WHITNEY HOUSTON

There are a couple ways you could do this. 1) Just add the user to your ignore list if they bother you altogether. This is for when a member won't leave you alone yet they don't break the rules. 2) If you click on the "Signed in as <username>" (replace with your username) link at the top left...

The Jerusalem Bible was originally written in 1966 and the New Jerusalem Bible came about in 1985. I've only read it in the bookstore or perhaps online once or twice, but this little guide I have says it has a high school reading level. I would agree with this hitting some passages. Essentially...

I'd like to extend a warm welcome to jiggyfly. He accepted my request to come on board the team here at Christianity Board. I think jiggyfly proved that he had the patience to handle some sticky situations in the community and he brings experience moderating a large and successful Christian...

Nice to meet you Devon. Sounds like you had your own Damascus road experience. God reaches different folks different ways, but at the end of that day that reach and choice to listen is what matters most! I do look forward to you being here with us. I've come from the background where I am naive...

Welcome Angelina, we're glad to have you as well! I do hope we can provide a place for you to fellowship. Are there any churches where you two might can find something in the evening? I know sometimes tradition limits when the services are scheduled for and I know how evenings can be, but just...

I used to carry the KJV everywhere I went. I wouldn't say I was ever KJV-only but definitely a KJV=best kind of Christian. I still hold the translation in high regard - it remains the easiest to remember verses in because of the language. It's much more beautiful than the modern translations in...

I've said it before and I will certainly say it again. I have zero respect for websites like CARM. If the time spent on trying to bash others was instead dedicated to Christ, then a lot more would get done. Websites that do nothing but talk bad about others are exactly why Christianity continues...

I'm very sorry to see you go Aspen. If you have any suggestions, drop me a private message or I can shoot you my email. It's 100% anonymous and that goes for anyone else. I am working on moderating the environment in an effective matter. Much of the issue on here is directly my fault.

Welcome to the community, Sharla. I urge you to use caution, patience and wisdom in an environment like this, but you are always more than welcome here. I hope God speaks to you through this community and elsewhere. Sometimes giving up the distractions can work wonders. I gave up sweet tea and...

Welcome to Christianity Board, Ron! It sounds like we might have a similar background in our studying. I can't say I was ever Catholic, though. ;) What's your favorite verse? I begun using the newer translations (ESV, HCSB, NASB, etc.) more as of late, but my heart will always have a soft spot...

Welcome aboard! :)

Thanks Martin. Please do note that personal links are expressly forbidden in our rules - as are they in just about any forum. I don't mind a link to something every once in a while from a contributing member, but it's quite rude to show up and just post a link. Please keep that in mind; you...

I struggle with the best approach to this issue. I've never turned anyone away or treated them any different for declaring their homosexuality. However, I have to consider I Corinthians 5 when this subject is discussed. I read it last night in my Bible study and immediately thought about this...

He will never leave nor forsake exactly as He promised. Welcome to Christianity Board!

Rocky - from my 2nd favorite state right behind my own - welcome to the CB. We try not to be ultra-denominational around here, but we don't boot anyone for being too denominational within reason. ;) You've got some interesting ideas and concepts to say the least. Hopefully we can hear more...

Well I'm not pretending this topic is anything too profound, but I'm a member of an essentially struggling church that is finding its way. We were blessed with a pastor with quite the fire, but he's running up against a congregation set in its way. Its and older congregation and the church...

Welcome to Christianity Board, Saved2Serve. Faith is indeed an action word. ;)
