That God does not make those distinctions when he chooses whom he saves. But that there are distinctions here in this life, some are like male and female are biological others are social.

What is objected to, yet is also wanted is male leadership in marriage. It is because many women make poor choices about who they marry, basing a decicion on feelings rather than proven ability to provide, lead and care. That fault free divorce was brought in. for an article on leadership...

As Palmeston said," There are Lies, damned Lies and statistics!" as with the right spin or skewing of figures anything can be proved. To a poll what is a 'christian' answer anyone who says they are. define the answer by weekly attendance at church and the stats on divorce change dramaticly...

So you have no words for a new Christian who is stricken by the awarness of sin. I've used sex as it is the most easily identifable sin, but you put what ever sin you preferr to talk about. How would you council him/her. Saying that sin is perfectly normal isn't going to help a new Christian to...

That the Lords Supper is a mystery, in that we do not fully undestand every nuance of it, is something we should accept. That we are saved by faith, we do not earn or deserve salvation is something we should bear in mind when we discuss the Lords Supper or Communion etc. There is no merit...

In no way am I saying that a Christian saves themselfs, but saying that we all need to be aware of when we are straying into sinful behaviour. What would you tell a young man, newly saved who comes to you realy concerned that as he sees pretty girls walkinh about town, his thoughts move...

I'm talking about women standing up and preaching the gospel to men in a foriegn country. Of women exercising spiritual discipline to men who attend the church they are the pastor at. You are arguing that women should not do this and biblicaly you are correct. I am asking whether the...

I have seen many people come forward seeking to serve God and a university education is not essntial, but having an inquiring mind is. One young man only just finished high school, but once in training for full time service, working in a church, he read and read extensively. So a desire to learn...

You are mistaken in your assumption that Eves creation was not blessed by God saying that it was good.

That's where we differ. I remember what Jesus did for me and is doing for me. The brerad is just bread, the wine is just fruit juice. Nothing changes except I am confronted yet again with the awefullnes and the splendour of my saviours sacrifice for me.

The saqme way My last minister councelled many new christians. One of the marks of a Christian is that they become super sensitive to sin. Things that seemed normal, like oggling/leering at girls becomes sinfull.They need to be aware of and seek to avoid doing that which they are awae is...

There is a simple way of discovering whether one has right doctrine or not and that is does one agree with Jesus or disagree. If one is saying Jesus got it wrong. That is a wake up call that you have it wrong. Think, who is more likely to be wrong yopu or the Almighty, All knowing Creator God...

How does judgement after death imply being born again? Lazarus died, Jesus raised him to life and he became a great attrachtion to the curious, yet he also died a second time. This was a sign that Jesus did to show that he was the Son of God.

Of how many single women serve as missionaries, preaching the gospel to men. In the missionary societies your church supports.

Your illistration is a god one against your view point. Just as a photo of you is not you, so a piece of bread is not Jesus.

If you read what te bible says you will see that you are mistaken. Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that...

Compared to your other post on 1John, this I totaly agree with.

And do you sin? As 1John1:8+9 tell us, if we say we are without sin we decieve ourselves etc etc. How would you councel a new Christian who has suddenly become aware that he sins?

I will not look at any link that the poster is not prepared to make a comment on. Far to many posters think all they have to do is say look at this, it will answer. If they don't say something intelligent about it the odds are they don't understand what it is saying, which means it is even more...

As Paul wrote and as many atheists understan:- If Jesus did not rise from the dead, our faith that he did is a lie and our hope that our sins have been forgiven is false and we have no hope in this life nor any hope of a life to come. It is not Christians duty to avenge any wrong, that will be...
