You're free to post it here if you'd like. I think this is a fair request, but I am open to any other input that folks would like to share. :)

Well, count us in on the journey with you. I hope Christianity Board can be a place where you can move along the path to knowing God! Welcome aboard! :)

That's a pretty broad claim when Paul himself wrote the the "Hebrews" - look up the etymology of the word. I don't see where God has repudiated anything, it just takes a little bit of looking sometimes. Some see it, some don't. I'm not going to waste too much time arguing over it because it will...

Welcome Katrina, glad you could join the community! :)

This is just a note that we will be keeping an eye on topics and particularly those who feel the need to copy & paste their theology into multiple threads/topics in short amounts of time. While I do like to keep discussion as open as possible, I don't think anyone really cares to scroll down...

Jo-Nathan, I'd like to point out that your post perhaps illustrated your own point more than you think. I have to admit I came away with a picture of a very condescending Christian after reading your post. It's also very similar to the opening salvos I've heard numerous times before both here...

Actually Eve (or I suppose possibly Adam) makes the statement. Satan's words are included in the Bible, but that does not make them true does it?

Well, I've always looked at it like this. In Genesis 1:26 you have the creation of man on the 6th day. The most striking thing about the verse is how Moses goes out of the way to say that man had dominion over everything when it comes to animals. It wasn't a simple statement, it is instead a...

Welcome aboard, guess I'll allow a Yankee on this board (Southerner here). ;) Glad to have you!

It's not just Dan that's excluded. ;) There's actually an excellent note on this in the Companion Bible. To understand why, I suggest looking at Leviticus 24:10-16, Deuteronomy 29:18-21, Judges 18:2-31, I Kings 12:26-33, and Hosea 4:17 for the reasons. For further study, Dan is found in...

To me, homosexuality is indicative of larger issues within our society. I don't think it can be ignored that God specifically condemns the act. I've seen folks try and squeeze their way around it one way or another either claiming that the book of Leviticus is intended only for Priests (and the...

Welcome to the community, Jar. I know the obvious parallel would come from the story of Abraham and Sarah and I'm sure that's not the first time you've heard that analogy. I see the connection in the chosen forum name, but let me just say that the old jar will never be full until the Lord's...

Appreciate the input JarBreaker. I didn't realize that the SoF for each member was showing on the topic. (For some reason it was not for me.) That should now be resolved, I think. In regards to the rest of your post, I definitely agree about the quote part. Please try and limit usage of the...

You're going to find - to be brutally honest - that there will always be certain population segments that will be more easily "offended" than others. That's just the nature of the beast I'm not going to paint with a wide brush and label all atheists as this type, but it's one of those segments...

and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. It goes back to this verse and something Christ himself encountered. There will be those that hate and will go well beyond. Security is necessary in this day and age, unfortunately.

I see a good bit of personality there. ;)

Right, but let's get back to Evolution as an origin. At what point (and how long) does the living spring from the nonliving? We don't have a timeline for that and given that it has almost definitively not occurred elsewhere based on what we know, the odds are beyond immense. Otherwise, one is...

Endzone, hell lasts until the end of the age. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. The entire chapter talks about what happens in the lake of fire. Smoking ascending forever and the unquenchable fire are idioms for the righteous...

James you've touched on an issue I see time and again that stirs up some interesting emotions. I agree with your response, but even more so I'd point out that an "attack" on tongues or healing always seems to end up as an attack on God with certain groups. I've noticed it far too easy to say...

We wanted to take the time to wish all of our Dads out there a very Happy Father's Day! Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old. Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding. The father of the righteous will greatly...
