Regardless of thoughts, the language and terms used better ratchet down a couple notches. Consider this a blanket warning. On that note, let me pose this question. Since it doesn't say anything about anybody else, where did the wives come from? Do you assume that they were daughters of Adam...

I think the focus is a little more obvious; although our culture doesn't like the politically incorrect. Deuteronomy 22:5 says simply that men and women should not take the roles of the other sex. This is often outwardly manifested by wearing the clothes of the other sex. As far as statutes...

I think you've framed your thinking working within a system of morals and not within Christianity. (I do not mean that as a critique of your faith or a suggestion of less belief or unbelief.) Moral relativism is where it will get you, and that is but a petty attempt at trying to patch the holes.

I like this discussion in this thread - I'm impressed to see some minds working here. :) I go back to the lesson in the book of Job. Ultimately, we know, there is one who controls everything. I think, bud02, that you touched on this point quite well. God is in control. That does not mean that...

Welcome to the community Shawn, we are glad to have you! :)

Really? Because you're overlooking that Christ makes the call about Smyrna and Philadelphia and not the churches themselves; you're looking too hard to find disagreement as of late it seems. Cults are always self-proclaimed, I suppose I should have phrased my thoughts that way.

Well, I first off agree that cult can be a rather relative term. However, cult has always signified a group that is insular to me. Not insular in the sense that membership is restricted (which often it is), but that there is often a sense of "only we are the way" or only believing the exact...

Martin, he did actually start the thread, but we had a little hiccup. He should be restarting it shortly, I believe.

For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make...

I'm going to agree yet disagree ever so slightly with veteran. I think we need to be careful of saying you cannot do this or that to witness and evangelize. And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for...

Look, the idea that plagues most Christians is that we're somehow supposed to clean up and out the sin in our life once we confess and repent. I think we are fooled into believing that we will get better and realize our sin to patch it all up. The problem is, that's not what grace is about. The...

Please don't take what I say the wrong way - I don't want the tone of my post to fool you... However, I must point out that you are arriving at one of the "greatest problems" of the Christian faith when looking at things from an earthly perspective. I think people have to understand that Christ...

Saber, interesting tool - I do hope you'll continue to develop it and I'll look into it more. So glad to have another "techie" on board. Look forward to talking with you more - we are certainly glad to have you! :)

Welcome, I'm from the state just below you. :)

Welcome to Christianity Board! :)

I happen to believe that the tribes that were scattered abroad (eventually journeying over the Caucus mountains and coming to be called Caucasian) and mixed. I've heard this most often attacked as some form of latent racism, but that misses the point and understanding of what this is all about...

There are a number of reasons that prophecy about the future is considered very important by so many. Number one, the Bible is full of it. From roughly the 3rd chapter of Genesis (and one could argue the first), the Bible and particularly the Old Testament, is full of prophecy. Christ himself...

Welcome to the forums Alex! That was quite a picture to pop up, but I cannot help to chuckle when I see it. I am an animal person. :)

Welcome to Christianity Board! I hope that you can find that place you're looking for here. Unfortunately we too dealt with the interjections of those who were not of the Christian faith. This forum was originally more open, but the discussion and debate could not continue with those of other...

The ebb and flow tide of faith is something that most Christians deal with. It manifests in varying forms certainly, so don't be fooled into thinking you are alone, ever. If no man or woman will stand by you God always will. He's always there and you don't have to get his attention; you already...
