Redeemed22, I'm not much older than you and had a very similar consideration while I was in college. To make a long story short, I began in Computer Engineering because I've been strong in technology - it is one of the gifts God bestowed upon me to be able to figure things out on my own. After a...

Howdy! I don't want to and won't go back to the limiting discussion on denominations. However, this is strictly a non-denominational community and I want to reiterate that point. This includes any denomination, period. This is a place to discuss doctrines alone, and that is fine. We're just not...

Nope, but that's where the moniker came from. I'm from close by to where General Marion operated, and this was just my little way of honoring him a bit. I like the name and tend to spend at least half my weekend out in the woods.

Well, I look at it this way with evolution as an origin and thermodynamics. If we have certain rules that govern the universe, and these rules (conservation of energy, entropy, etc.) had to be violated/reversed/changed in order for the current universe to exit...well doesn't that even on its own...

Howdy Al, a belated hello and welcome!

I don't play as much as I used to, but I was always into RTS games on the computer, particularly the Age of Empires series. I played a little Age of Conan and then I play NCAA Football and other games on the Xbox and Wii. The Wii is the only console I have now, and I'd say I am a pretty casual...

Howdy and welcome!To post a poll, start a topic and check the polling option at the bottom of the posting page and it will guide you through from there.

Welcome aboard!Curious about the name - any particular reason you chose it? :)

Having just finished college myself, God will definitely use that experience to help shape you. I'm speaking from the position of a person who really had some crazy experiences and things I never could have imagined, both good and bad.Welcome to CB, hopefully we can help you on your way, Lord...

I'll have to slightly disagree with ya'll Butch, Christina, and gervais, but I don't find reason to argue because it's close enough for my tastes. Diana, your church doctrine does err in that while Jesus did not speak Greek, he did speak Aramaic. The translation was properly preserved in the...

Well said you two!The Greek is the key, unfortunately that subtle difference is not conveyed in our language. Peter is a movable rock in the sense of a boulder, our Lord and Savior cannot be moved!

Welcome Luke!I have a pet rabbit as well...well actually it's my mother's. Many years ago I wanted a rabbit, so I eventually got one. Sadly she passed away a couple years back and my mother was so sad about it, I got her another one to cheer her up. They're very comforting and definitely one of...

Well, I try very hard to avoid denominations. I view things as purely a discussion and debate on doctrine. The best advice I've heard is that if you disagree and feel what's being said is not of God, attack the doctrine and not the person.Your post reminds me of a story. The other day I pointed...

The Hebrew word is shäv, which is Strong's #H7722. Contrary to assertion, it doesn't explicitly mean to use God's name in bad language. It can mean something like swearing -- saying something like "God as my witness" when it is not true.The verse means when you invoke God's name, it better be...

Whirlwind, I do mean everything I say here on out with respect, but I strongly disagree with quite a few of your conclusions here. [/B]The Greek is apostasy. It's used twice in the Bible, and both times it's the same context -it's a falling away from the subject. Apostasy here clearly implies a...

Just an update here; after literally more than a week of agonizing over the decision, I stuck with the same software. We were able to secure a copy for the original special price, so that keeps us paid up for a good year or two now. I wanted to say thanks to a couple, namely Christina and...

Mr. Kats was a teacher of mine from many years ago. I knew he was in bad shape, and I got a call today that he passed away of a combination of Swine Flu & Pneumonia. I know he was battling a 106 degree fever. I'm not sure of his exact age, but I know he falls outside the typical age range of...

Love to have you with us; sounds like we definitely agree on some things! Welcome to CB, hopefully we can provide that fine place for you to study!God Bless!

I didn't take the company up on the sale offer; I missed it because I gave it one more day and thought it was up tonight. The price has now gone up $30.However, they have now released a beta of the forum software. I admittedly did not expect that to happen, so I would consider that a positive...

Not interested in young earth, sorry.I hold in my hand right now an artifact that dates back 9,000 years. I picked it up myself, removed it from the ground, and had it dated. That alone debunks this absurd exegetical notion that the Earth is 6,000 or so years old.I have many problems with modern...
