Actually that's a common misnomer. Disciple derives from discipline, so actually it means something more than a student. I'd say you could easily make the statement that a disciple is a student (IE: one aspect of being a disciple) but a student is not always a disciple. The key being the...

How does this video make you feel? Do you agree? I'm thinking about references to the Holy Spirit when it comes to this video. Maybe the major problem is a lack of the Holy Spirit in how we reach whether it be the church or us personally. We try to build a consumer church or even a consumer...

Ok, looks like a good crew! More to come soon, I'm just about ready to get the ball rolling.

Well, here are some very simplistic and basic ground rules: 1) It will be in a format where a special forum here on CB will be for the Bible Study. It will be only for that purpose and access will be locked down (in the way of posting) to only those who are taking part. Others are free to...

Thanks, both my wife and myself got a great laugh out of this one! It's hilarious. :D

Well that makes two - who else? ;)

Note that God is far more powerful than Satan; that is certainly where the concept of dualism fails. There is no equity. At best, Satan is a 2nd Lieutenant rebelling against his best his general and even that analogy is giving him far too much credit. However, I caution throwing out the baby...

Well, the non-denominational and modern part gave me a great chuckle. We strive to be non-denominational, but modern wasn't on the mission statement, but I guess you can say that. I want this place to feel up with the times. ;) I had a good friend in college who grew up with one Jewish and one...

Well, I think people are so intent on fully understanding God that they end up missing the forest for the trees. God has blessed us with a very good textual illustration of himself aside from those that might be blessed with a little more. He did a wonderful job of explaining himself to a far...

It will be intended for anyone - so essentially at all possible levels.

It would be a sub-forum here of course; mostly I'd limit posting to folks who wanted to participate while everyone could read whatever we talk about. I don't want to say that we take a relaxed approach to the Bible at any time, but the study format will be more relaxed in that I won't try to get...

Well, it's just about to be 2011 for all of us and many of us are already there! My wife came up with a great idea last night. Our major mutual resolution is to grow our relationship with Christ. We both agreed that one of the best ways to do this is to read the letter written to us, the Bible...

I'll stand against this as well. Normally it would be best for the trash heap, but I think it best for Christians to stand against things like this. It's the hallmark of the enemy to deceive and confuse.

Believe it or not, I appreciate thoughts like this. Any person who runs a forum should. I'll admit that I am frustrated a bit myself. I'm perfectly willing to take part of the blame because I've not put together a real moderating team a forum this size requires. As some of you know, we've had...

Agreed. Around these parts the Bible is the inspired Word of God - that is something any Christian should be able to agree on regardless of denomination. It does not include clauses, asterisks, and disclaimers. Either God inspired the Word otherwise it's a falsified document. If even parts are...

Welcome to the Christianity Board! If you're speaking of the Companion Bible that I think you are speaking of, it is the best Study Bible around IMHO. I do wish we had something of that inspiration in a more modern translation, though. I feel like many times I'm trying to use an excellent...

Welcome, welcome! A safe and very Happy New Year to you as well!

Guys and gals, tone the language down please. I understand passions, but the tit for tat insults are getting old. Do consider this the last warning. This topic started out well, so let's get back to the subject at hand.

Zing! The secular history of the church - sorry that one made me chuckle. :lol: I don't know that I agree wholeheartedly with September 29th as the date, but I'm certainly not going to argue that much over it. A little study will give you a legitimate date range, and yes it does take some...

Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that "an idol has no real existence," and that "there is no God but one."For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth--as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"-- yet for us there is one God, the Father, from...
