I think the answer is yes - first I'd point out that Christ brings this up in Mark 3 when the scribes had just accused him of having an unclean spirit. The "difficult" part about the sin is that it's committed at a specific time and it's not something that just happens. The single most asked...

That's enough of this thread I'd say.

Just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year from Christianity Board! As you think about (and maybe share) your resolutions, think about this: Often we wonder why life gets hard. True happiness is only found in one place, and it will always win out no matter the trials and tribulations that we...

It's clear from the thread title what the point is; we're not interested in comparative religion. Topic closed.

Topics merged. All I will say is Romans 14, maybe instead of wasting time condemning everyone, you should spend it trying to win another soul and sowing seeds. There's a very clear difference in the way this topic was approached, and while some people get it, others don't.

Unlike Easter, I don't see Christmas supplanting Christ. Santa is Santa, and I don't really ever see him overtaking the role of God. In fact, as a child, I remember my conception of Santa being a rather Godly (Christian) man. I think for the mind of a child this really gives them something to...

Bingo! I look upon Christmas as a time where we "celebrate" the birth, life and death of Christ. I think we do need to understand that it's a day which can be quickly proven not to be the birth date of our Lord. However, I do believe that it's the day where he was conceived. Regardless of...

Thanks gumby! :)

I noticed that after I made this post the buttons were missing - this was due to a caching issue that should now be fixed. :)

Howdy ya'll! First off, I've changed my username from SwampFox to HammerStone. The site has not changed ownership or anything like that. I simply chose a new username that wasn't as attached to some things in history. I settled on HammerStone because, as some of you know, one of my hobbies is...

It's documented? Really? So your few websites (which, by the way anyone can start for as little as free or a few dollars a month on up) document a heretic and should themselves be taken as gospel? I would let the credibility of the man who stewarded over what God has seen fit to give him and...

I'll give Stephen a chance to defend himself, but sadly enough we see this attitude all the time. I think the message is to know the Scriptures and you'll be amply prepared when the time comes on way or another. I believe the Pre-Trib Rapture theory to be very dangerous, but I don't see how one...

With all due respect, if you're going to post a Christian hate-site's trash, CB will have to pass on that. It's a really sad statement of faith that some have nothing better to do than sit around cataloging information and assassinating the character of folks whom they don't agree with. Any...

Let me begin by saying I think the "best" way may be a bit conditional for some people. There's simply no set formula on exactly how to do everything, God might lead us down a different path than the next Christian in the room. Remember that Christ was perfect, something that none of the rest of...

Welcome back follower, so glad to see you here!! It's a happy day to have both you and Jon-Marc back with us! The old gang seems to be returning from hiatus! How have you been? :D

That was nice of you Jon-Marc considering all that you've been through. I'm sorry to hear about you computer there, but I know how you feel as it happened to my family a few years ago, luckily we somehow swung one within a month or two, but that can be one bad day. I'm sure the new folks...

I'm a person that likes rock music. ;D I've really begun to pay attention to lyrics, although I'd say I tend to listen to music for the music instead of the lyrics. However, I've noticed that music can and will influence your mood. Because of this, I've tried very hard to listen to Christian...

Well I'd say understanding first soteriology and Christology lead to Eschatology basic on our logic. However, to understand Christ (and Christianity), I think he has to be understood in the context of "the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." (Hebrews 13:8) Eschatology is as much a part of...

Well the problem is everyone attempts to construct a system for how the Bible should be interpreted. Some say it should be literally, others will say spiritually. The Bible should be interpreted with discernment. The variable in the equation is the Holy Spirit. The Bible almost always speaks on...

To clear this up, no I did not outright request that he come here. As he should confirm, he replied to our email about the site software update asking about a topic like this to which I cleared him to post. My goal was simply to allow a format where questions could be asked about Freemasonry and...
