    Looking for advice: Can women be pastors

    Full marks for quoting scripture and zero marks for not applying scripture. Again a mature female Christian is talking with a new Christian. TThis new Chjristian has latched on to false teaching. Is this Christian woman allowed to correct what this new Christian is saying? Because I believe...

    How can I have peace and joy?

    We need to be realistic. Not every circumstance is nice and not every one is rejoicing. But even amid sorrow we can trust in the hope we have in Jesus and find peace and contentment there. Our happiness isn't based on good reports at work, having a comfortable...

    Looking for advice: Can women be pastors

    Please answer the questions I raised. How is a woman to guide her sons in spiritual maters? If a new Christian is talking about false doctrine he believes and is leading others astray, is a woman, who is a mature experience Christian, to be silent? As for being silent in church. Please read the...

    Christian kings (leaders)

    Basicly you are chasing wild geese. There has never been a Christian nation, omly nations where Christian ideas sort to be practiced by an influencial portion of the population. If you want to worry about Christianity look at this:- China's Scary "Social Experiment" Coming To America? -...

    Looking for advice: Can women be pastors

    And straight away this is in direct contradiction of scripture. A woman cannot exercise spiritual authority over her sons, but scripture says women are to raise their sons to be spiritual mature men. What authority is used to lead a prayer meeting? or a new convert is arguing with a mature...

    Discernment

    I didn't write the bible, nor have I influenced Christianity to believe that there is only one way to God. It is what the bible teaches, that there is only one name under heaven by which we must be saved.

    Christian kings (leaders)

    That is true of a 'Christian leader/ruler' but it is not true of a non christian leader/ruler. The Israelite, dispite many warnings would not live in obedience to God and were punished by being taken into exile. The asyrian, babyleon eyc kings had no spiritual responcibility for the Israelites...

    Discernment

    Where have I said that. The west, whether America, or europe isn't interested in world conquest, if you said commercial supremacy I'd agree with you.

    Discernment

    Yes and he proceeded to introduce them to the Only Way of Salvation, Jesus. It doesn't matter how similar they are, if they are not recognising Jesus as Lord and Saviour then they are false pathways leading away from God.

    Lost

    May I ask what are you trusting in? What else is there that is even remotly as loving as Christianity and Christians, with all our faults and failures?

    Discernment

    Taking verses out of contex always twists the meaning. In context Jesus was speaking to his followers, not to the world in gener\l. Add in the many references to salvation is only through Jesus and the idea that other paths to God is clearly wrong. That is without looking at how contradictory...

    Wars and Clan Structure May Explain

    Yes something did happen some 6k years ago. The universe began. The article assumes that ages older than 6k are valid and that assumptions made to demonstrate older ages are more than assumptions, which one should really read as a guess. What sort of God cannot tell the history of his creation...

    Does God answer your prayer❓

    Does it matter whether God answers ones prayer? The Almighty, Holy Creator of the universe wants to hear you talking to him. He is interested in you and you're asking that the sun will shine and it not rain. Just who are you planning on talking to? Yes God in his super abundance of grace and...

    A Blood-Soaked Path Through History

    There is still no comparason. So what that they killed somany. They are dead, there is nothing that can be done for the dead. Ranting about the evils of a belief is equal pointless. How would you react to an atheist droning on and on about the evils of Christianity and particularly what ever...

    Discernment

    Muslims do not consider themselves to be Christian. Christianity is exclusive, just as every religeon is exclusive, non muslims do not go to paradise, non budhist do not achieve nivarda etc etc Anyone who is offended by Christianities exclusiveness needs to learn about the exclusivenesss of...

    There are currently 41,000 different Christian denominations

    Where does it say that? I've looked through the article and no where does it say this. Also I would suggest accepting the stats very carefully. The article said:-UK adherents - 45 million in 2010 as the population of the UK in 2010 was 62 million that would make over 50% of the uk Christian...

    I like to get back to what is really important to post on a "Christian" message board.

    Only if that is the argument you want to follow. Why didn't you pick up one of the other points?

    Baptism ?

    And is it only the RCC rules that apply, or does baptism by any 'johnny come lately' church count?
