I spoke with you via PM, but welcome back!

Mike, first and foremost, welcome to Christianity Board! :) I can sympathize with your thoughts on the denominational part of things. It's a struggle here at CB each and every day to keep this place free of them. It seems like regardless of affiliation, you get those folks who ultimately want...

Ubergeek, it's funny how certain themes - for lack of a better word - come up at certain times. I think we all deal with a sort of ebb and flow - our faith tide that comes in so vigorously at times only to slip back out in the night. I've experienced what you're talking about on a smaller...

Samuel, if you want to be the one taken, have at it but that's not where I want to be. The fake comes first putting on quite the show.

I mean this as respectfully as possible, but good riddance. I think we've all had enough of the agree-with-me-or-else attitude alongside the personal site broadcasting. I suppose at the very least it's the pot calling the kettle black in this case, so I'll leave it at that. Feel free to move...

Maybe you should put this up on the shelf for a while. I'm not really sure where you pulled the 6,000 from in my posting that Scripture? Perhaps you're a little too eager to read things into what folks say...

And some of those same Jewish sources say our Savior was hung or that he simply didn't exist. I don't know about you, but in this day and age of political, religious and economic liars, I'm hard-pressed to just take the word of some other faith scholars who have a track recording of bending...

I'll give the Administrator's assertion here to respect his wishes; if ya'll want to debate something, please start another thread. It's about remaining respectful to both the OP and this community. To get things back on track... I'm not much of a "creed" person, so I'll simply say that I...

Welcome to Christianity Board - that's a topic we definitely discuss here quite often. :)

Well, let's start with the basics... I think these two verses shed more light on evil spirits/demons more than any other. I assume you're familiar with Lot and the other narratives when Jesus encountered demons? As you can see, they are quite smart and strong. One of them is an easy match for...

I think you definitely use whatever situation you are in to share the gospel. The KJV says "be instant in season: out of season;" so you see that we are to be ready at any time. This can mean work, play, home, out on the town, etc. In these days of small print books, cell phone applications...

WK I believe you were talking about the tower of Siloam? When I saw this thread, this was the verse I immediately thought about. Lots of folks are quick to rush to judgment when things like this happen, and will immediately declare it a judgment from God. I just say be careful about that...

I get what you're going for here Whirl, but be careful on placing too much emphasis on the might part. The same word is used in Revelation 4:7, Revelation 8:13, Revelation 14:16, and Revelation 19:17. In each case, it's used of an angel or the zoon. It would appear to denote the capacity or the...

What's your "favorite" verse about salvation?

Welcome to Christianity Board, Irish! I spent years thinking a large part of my family was Irish - I started digging around a couple years ago only to find out that those who had a proud Irish history were actually of Welsh descent. We definitely had some Irish in there, but not nearly as much...

I cleaned this thread up but left it open, don't let it get personal again.

Believe it or not, there are people that love you, including your Father in heaven. They would all be very hurt to lose you in this world. Problems come and go, some stick around longer than others and sometimes it seems like they gang up or become increasingly difficult to surmount. They can...

Welcome to Christianity Board! I will say that if you don't feel comfortable or understand something, put it on the shelf to a later date. There is no problem in doing this once you've accepted Jesus as your Lord. (Never put that off!) We have an Apologetics section, so you're welcome to read...

Jennifer, working and studying in the Bible is more than religion. :D This is the argument in a nutshell put forth all the time about Christianity (as well as against it). The fact of the matter is yes, the Hebrew and Greek languages are much more complicated than English because they have some...
