I have to take the time to point to Vincent's post - it's a good one! I think the problem is that rapture has come to mean something very specific for 80% of the folks out there. I don't know that it's easy to argue that you can overvalue "end times prophecy" because our Savior taught on it...

Welcome to the community! :)

The short answer is December 25th is not the birthday of Christ. For a simple illustration of why its not, I point to the shepherds out in the field at the birth of Christ. This would not be the case in December in the region. I personally feel the date is in September based on some reckoning...

I have to second what Nomad says here in that if we discount the Bible as the inspired Word of God, exactly what do we know from God? Do we then jump to some of the mystical experiences? How does one know it is God? What about inspired words spoken by man? Again, how do we know its from God...

Well, you beat me to the punch. Merry Christmas! Spread the news and help share the greatest gift ever given! :D

Not exactly the idea I had for spending Christmas morning, but I will now be locking this thread. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed in the wide range of how not to carry out Christianity in this thread. And believe me, it's on all sides. While it is the duty of forum staff/owners to keep a...

Thanks for joining up here @ CB, I look forward to hearing your thoughts. :)

Gossip is not quite the obvious sin sometimes. I think people like to talk because it gives us a sense of control. It reminds me little bit of the publican and Pharisee in Luke 18:9-14. It is a veiled way of saying: "That person's life is worse than mine, thank goodness I am not him/her!"...

We'll have to agree to disagree here. I do agree about the numbers part of the equation, but I am also a man of the persuasion that sometimes what can sound like a great theory doesn't work in practice. I think "true communism" hasn't manifested because its not possible. When you're dealing with...

Welcome to Christianity Board, Tanya. I'll hazard a question. What's your favorite color? ;)

Just a friendly reminder, but please consider how comments might come out when you make them. This is not targeted at any one person, but there are ways to debate and make points without insulting the person, no matter how wrong you think they are. Thanks.

Welcome to the community, Lute! I think you'll be able to find some fellowship here. I'll be praying for you to find some Christians friends be it here at Christianity Board or in the offline world. It's not easy being the Christian person in the group, but use it as a chance when the...

My wife runs a little blog where she does some pretty creative and crafty things. I'll give her a very proud and shameless plug where she is giving away a neat little Christmas ornament: http://www.flossyoriginal.com/2010/12/win-a-christmas-ornament/ It's free to sign up for your chance to...

A long time ago, the Christian and the American dream were intertwined. For a short while, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing in my view. Anything that supplants God is not of God. That goes for any -ism that we could possibly name or not name. Patriotism can certainly take over Christianity...

Welcome to Christianity Board, Katie. Congratulations on the Bible College. I will say that being a (youth or any kind of) minister is more than school, but you already know that! ;) Look forward to having you with us!

Paul, as a devout Pharisee, certainly had a knowledge of Scripture in the form of what we call the OT. Yes Christ did reveal himself to Paul on the road to Damascus, but I don't think you can discount that God worked through a life where Paul was familiar with the foundation. (Notice how Paul...

We hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving! Remember to thank the Giver for the many blessings we receive only a daily basis. Also never forget that he will not leave or forsake you even during the most troubling times. Try and make this a new day to set the tone of your relationship with God...

If you haven't heard about this topic yet, you're probably living in a cave. (Perhaps that's not such a bad thing?) The TSA has begun searching passengers rather intrusively regardless of gender, skin color, religious affiliation, or even age. To make a long story short, these scans involve...

Peace has become a relative term. I personally know many Christians who are peacemakers. They'll cool a hot temper in moments, serve as a respecter and protector of that person who is not there to defend themselves, and much more. It's a loaded question for sure, but I'm going to assume no...

Actually please see the very first remark in my post, which was made to specifically address the moron remark. Otherwise, you're welcome to use the report button located on the left side of each post if the post bothers you too much. I appreciate the acknowledgment that you are making an...
