    Live Chat Software Removed

    Well, I know this move will dissappoint some, especially given the desire and activity to have a chat session. However, I've had to pull our chat software due to some serious vulnerabilities. Another very similar site was hit hard and we just cannot take the risk that someone will exploit our...

    An Evangelist and a Teacher...They Are Different

    Ephesians 4:11And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; The Greek is pretty specific on this one. An Evangelist is simply someone who evanglizes - a simpler definition is one who brings good tidings. A pastor that I listen to brought...

    Rewards in Heaven?

    Surely you know that as a follow of Christ the OT and NT go hand in hand? One book does not teach against the other and both teach the same message if you look at the words. Christ was around when God wrote the OT, afterall. The Bible tells us that. I guess I need you to elaborate a bit here on...

    Rewards in Heaven?

    Well since we're going to play the specific word game now... I define heaven as it is Biblically defined - where God's throne is. It appears as such in both the OT and NT. Isaiah 66:1 and Matthew 5:34-35 are excellent reference points for that. I like to think of heaven as a different dimension...

    Rewards in Heaven?

    Matthew 16:24-28Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain...

    "300"Movie Angers Iran

    It probably is the greatest battle fought on this Earth between "secular" forces. I don't plan on seeing the movie because of the filth in it. I hate that they took such an amazing story and did what they did to it. With regards to the feelings of Iran - it's nothing new. Ethnic groups and other...

    Saved by faith? Or also works?

    The key is that works come through faith. Saying simply that "I have the faith." is not enough. I could quote some verses here but they have already been covered in this thread. Think of works as an extension (of sorts) of faith. If you truly believe Him and His Word, then you'll do it (His...

    Jesus saved me!!

    We all have those moments where we need a little extra help. The strength you have found comes through the Lord as you have stated. He is a wonderful Father and he helps when you put your faith in Him.

    Introduction

    Reading the Bible cover to cover is a good way to start. Though, as I am sure you have gathered, there is so much to glean from virtually every word used. We're here to help as kriss said, so feel free to ask and share all that you'd like.

    Greetings

    Well said and glad to have you with us. Anyone who puts his faith in the authority of the Scriptures is always a friend indeed. No worries about the spelling my friend, we all make mistakes. Thou shalt be a good speller was left out for a reason.

    What should be the Christian's Response to the Homosexual?

    Less than a few decades it was listed as a 40% curable disease, but that has changed with the push to find things such as the "gay gene". Suddenly it became something you were born into. Funny thing is, if there were such a gay gene, natural selection must not be true either. Welcome to the...

    Are We Nearing the 5th Trump

    Well I certainly agree that we don't know the exact hour; I will point out that Jesus gave us a whole bunch of signs leading up to that hour, though. Remember that he said: Matthew 24:36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. The answer to your...

    Kings of The East

    I know in my industry alone the Indians have done very well. They've taken advantage of the favorable trade situation and I think it's very comparable to where we were 100 years ago.

    Changing Servers

    Higher Purposes LLC, the webhost of Christianity Board, is changing datacenters and therefore changing servers. We'll be moving CB to the new server this weekend so a few posts may wind up missing in the process. We apologize for any problems this may cause. We're doing our best to ensure the...

    Live Chat

    It sometimes shows on the thing at the bottom Tom. We can certainly look at scheduled chats, but I don't when would be a good time. For example, Sat. is pretty much not an option for me. If you guys/gals would like to post some times you can do it, maybe we can find the best option(s) for everyone.

    New here

    Welcome Pale Horse, we have no issues with anyone who comes peacefully to be honest. The precautions are in place, unfortunately enough, because not everyone can show respect like you do. That being said, welcome aboard once again.

    Attack on Resurrection

    Don't you know Ron, all scientists have a bottle of Jesus DNA on hand just in case they ever find him! Seriously though, as far asI can surmise, the DNA test would merely prove that one of the bodies (a female one) is unrelated to the male one that is supposedly Jesus. What this proves, I don't...
