    SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT?

    And I am so pleased that I was taught that you can manifest the gifts of the Spirit and be in a right relationship with the giver. As a result, I was able to grow in my faith and not be in bondage to fear when the gifts were going around and the Spirit gave utterance. I cannot remember how many...

    SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT?

    Yes except that this quote puts it into question....But, given the sensationalism in the TV church, the numerous unbiblical practices and teachings that occur there, and the over-eagerness of people to be slain in the Spirit, I would conclude that this phenomena is to be frowned upon. Whether...

    SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT?

    In the UK, the biggest opposition to speaking in tongues were the Brethren. They had adopted the J.N. Darby's dispensationalism which said that things like tongues and the gifts in general passed away when the cannon of scripture was decided. They were no longer needed. In the late 50s and...

    And Science Says Our Gap Theory Is Bad.....

    You asked a question, I answered. No obsession. Please forgive me if I am wrong but I think you have an obsession to disagree with everyone. Link? I don't do the homework for other people. It is your job to do your own. ​What I said is true as I can do no other because I am autistic. Why...

    Questions for an atheist

    ​Of course the one big mistake atheist evolutionists make in discussing evolution is to bring God into it. When you do that you make it a philosophical discussion and science has nothing at all to do with it.

    And Science Says Our Gap Theory Is Bad.....

    ​In another place, I have regularly asked evolutionary atheists to tell me how life began. Nine out of 10 of them didn't answer. In other words they don't know. The other one said you don't have to know how life began to understand evolution. In other words, I don't know. As I understand it...

    And Science Says Our Gap Theory Is Bad.....

    One thing it is based on is the humongous backdown by atheists who are evolutionists. Until recently, monkeys became man, amoeba became fish, sand worms became animals. Then monkeys and man had the same ancestors and recently we are told that evolution is adaptation. It has nothing to do with...

    What makes any given branch of Christianity an authority over my life?

    Wormwood, you will have to explain how your comment is any different to mine as I can't see that it is. As there are approximately 42,000 denominations worldwide, probably all of whom claim the word of God as their authority, who decides who is making the word of God their authority? FYI, I...

    What makes any given branch of Christianity an authority over my life?

    When the New Testament Church came into being on the day of Pentecost, it was a sect of Judaism known as “The Way.” The religious leaders of the day didn’t like it because it was an affront to their rule and Rome didn’t like it because the followers of The way would not give allegiance to the...

    SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT?

    Sorry you could not be so wrong. I have a whole brain and being slain in the spirit is not phony as a two dollar bill and I am not given to excess and fanaticism as I am autistic and a very measured person. ​In 1976 I was having all sorts of personal problems because of my autism and during a...

    And Science Says Our Gap Theory Is Bad.....

    Maybe maybe not. I am reading books that are showing that the death of evolution is definitely on the cards and if it is, then Intelligent Design will make a comeback. After all you have to believe in something. That is unless you are an atheist them you worship the religion of nothing as in...

    And Science Says Our Gap Theory Is Bad.....

    P.S. I have a feeling that the dinosaurs disappearance from the earth is due to the fact that they all decided being homo dinosaur was preferred to being hetero dinosaur.

    Yeah. I had a good laugh too. Makes me think that the first human was the cookie monster.

    SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT?

    Hi everyone. I am 73 years old and have been a christian for 62 of those years. I was used by God along with handful of others to bring revival to a church that grew from about 100 to a 1,000. I spent 10 years in church that was in revival for 30 years in the UK. From this one church, hundreds...

    Biblical literalism correlates with anti-science

    From a well known website.... THE FLAT EARTH MYTH “The earth isn’t flat – end of story.” So says Case Western Reserve University physicist Lawrence Krauss, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “We don’t have to have classes or be sensitive to the issues of those who believe that, because...

    Biblical literalism correlates with anti-science

    Your definition of a weird fundamentalist could not be more wrong. The word "fundamentalist" means "five specific classic theological beliefs of Christianity, which developed into a Christian fundamentalist movement within the Protestant community of the United States in the early part of the...

    Biblical literalism correlates with anti-science

    I agree evidenced by the fact that they have to date 35 churches and counting. At the same time they have lodge a religious tax exception. If that ain't church I don't know what is.

    Biblical literalism correlates with anti-science

    Then you must be an unrepentant name it and claim it person. The book I read said that moths were not found on tree trunks, they were found in branches so believe what you like it doesn't bother me. Your constant claim that he is a Moonie is totally irrelevant. Whatever he is, what he says and...

    Biblical literalism correlates with anti-science

    I would like to follow up on this point because the atheists are in total denial on this one. All they can talk about is that some Christians had slaves and ignore the fact that William Wilberforce, a Christian and parliamentarian was the most responsible for outlawing slavery. They don’t want...
