    The Children See Life

    Agreed. Some folks are going to get after me for saying this, but it's that side of a kid that can believe in Santa Clause and magical kingdoms. It's the conception that there is something out there larger than us and that we maybe cannot fully understand in one sense. As we grow older we see...

    A Univeral, Multilingual, God?

    You might just find more agreement here than you think. I will caution for less mature believers that Christ is the one and only way to universal salvation (John 14:6). With that being said, what about the tribes of the earth (the ethnos)? I think there is the primarily cynical and perhaps even...

    Lord Of Heaven And Earth But....not Of The Sea.

    Couldn't help but think of Psalm 89 amongst others as I read this. I don't know that I'd go so far as saying He is not Lord of the sea, but those verses are interesting. Yet Psalm 89 and others do attribute Lordly characteristics: Rehab/Rahab is another name for Satan, and it gives him the...

    Election The Chosing Of God

    Agreed with Jerry here. Our primary concern is not with the physical but the spiritual death.

    The End Times

    We do have a study that deals with the timing a bit more: http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/9396-the-last-trump-bible-study/ To answer your question, it does come at the time of the last trump, which places the tribulation prior to the return of the Lord. The 144,000 are a part of the...

    Why Did Our Father Want Blood Sacrifices?

    That's just it Miss Hepburn, I keep seeing you use the word want when verses like Hosea 6:6 show otherwise. There are things that are required - innocent blood to atone for sin - and then there are things that are wanted - our love as shown in Hosea 6:6. I guess what I want to say is that...

    My Vision For Cb

    I think it's time I made a post about this website, so I'll do it here since it's the topic at hand. For those of you who have insisted or suggested that this community has had some problems, I fully admit and acknowledge that as a fact. A good portion of those problems extend forth from how...

    The Real Tribulation

    Christina, see if you can edit the post now.

    Introduction

    Brother Mike, that remnant has always been around. It might not always be written about nor can we cannot always call it by a specific name (other than Christian), but it's there. I personally feel it spans across many denominations and might not necessarily be the person beside you in the pew...

    My Knees Are Sore, But I'm Covered In Christ.

    I know what you meant there - my advice from experience is don't just sit back and become complacent. The real secret about us Christians is that we're never really worthy of God's grace. Grace literally means unmerited favor, and frankly our human natures don't let us do a whole lot of true...

    Not quite. Though I feel like it when I'm testing out a feature and I jump back and forth between logins.

    Cya

    Okay, I think this has gone far enough away from the OP. I'm closing this topic for now, and I think John's post is a good note to leave on. Now that the show is over and we can move on, that is. Topic Closed Run its course.

    Bullinger's Influence

    Yep, you're right there, he did write a couple works on the Pre-Trib. Rapture that we need to discard. ;)

    Christianity Board Needs Staff!

    Howdy folks! A while back - prior to the lovely software fiasco - I sent some of you (who requested them) questionnaires about joining the moderation team here at Christianity Board. I've finally completed the needed legwork and setup CB to handle staff members. I needed to write a guide so you...

    That would not be possible because I'd have to introduce myself. The user Moderator is just for testing purposes. :)

    Bullinger's Influence

    Bullinger was well studied and knew much more than many pastors would these days about the original language. I can see where he would ruffle feathers, but hey learned men of God have done it all throughout history. Was he correct on everything? No, but the same could be said about me, you, and...

    Bullinger's Influence

    Is there influence - perhaps yes I think a case could be made for various little things. Is he hook, line, and sinker Anglican? I'd like to see that case be made...it would be scoffed at to say the least. Question for you: would that make him less of a Christian?

    Why Did Our Father Want Blood Sacrifices?

    Dear sister I believe your answer can be found in Hebrews 10:1-39. It's not that God desired for us to slaughter animals. Hosea 6:6 is a great Old Testament reference to compare with Hebrews 10. I think where humanity missed the boat of blood sacrifice was that it was never meant to be...

    Why Does This Place Seem So Different?

    No, it has not changed hands. (Though, ironically, there has certainly been offers!) I'm still Denver, I just made a change of username to represent some changes in my life and some lessons learned. I went with Denver for a while because folks wanted to know me and my name, but I don't like the...
