I cannot believe that I forgot to reply to this post. I apologize for that!This was corrected a while ago, you should be able to fix your avatar now.

I think they're acting based on historical situations such as the flu pandemic of 1918 which was very deadly. However, knowing as little as I do about viruses and bacteria, I just don't see how this is anymore of a risk than other strains of the flu. I mean we're worried about something that is...

I went over to Matthew 24 with that version and I can say that I do not like this version at all. It completely changes the words and their meanings I and would recommend not even touching it with a 30 foot pole.For example, it takes the abomination of desolation and turns it into the "monster...

Well, we just finished Passion of the Christ. This was our last Bible study group meeting for the year. This is the second time that I've watched the movie and I'm every bit as speechless as the first.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:(Acts 2:17 and Joel 2:28)This verse came to mind the very moment that I...

Exactly. Paul's writings are ideal for explaining this though they can sometimes be very confusing. That's where God first off, and hopefully this community, to an extent, can step in and help out.I'd have to readily agree with the observation that you have heard.

I guess that's my English major side that makes things more acceptable. My high school teacher who inspired me in many ways taught us a lot about ambiguity and ambivalence. So, it's not very hard for me to accept things might not always have the perfect answer.I agree with the rest of your...

Welcome to Christianity Board, guysmy!Christianity Board (we commonly go by CB) is where Christians of all denominations come together and chat, share in fellowship, and become better disciples of Christ. We welcome anyone and everyone no matter their background! We're very honored to have you...

It should be under "User CP" in the top menu. Right now we don't have any on-site ones but you're welcome to link to one or upload it. If it's not showing for you in your user cp, let me know. I'm a bit new to vB so there's probably a setting somewhere not quite right.

I only spent only about half a year around this guy in a weightlifting class, and barely got to know him as a friend, but everyone in my community will agree with me that he was one of the good ones. Marcus was a friend that collapsed and died at a basketball tournament of a massive heart...

Revelation 3:16 That's a big theme in the NT. Christ answers our question right here. Either you're fully on, or you're off.Galatians 3 is a good writing of Paul's about sin.

One of the ultimate figures of the old Testament, David, was a murderer and you are certainly correct about Paul. God will forgive murderers - that may be upsetting to some but he does and it's in the Bible many times.The key here is that you accept Christ (God, the Holy Spirit). If you deny...

Well there ya go. That was a verse I was unfamiliar with (no suprise there hehe). Interestingly enough, a referene in my handy Companion Bible suggests a connection with the Nephilim given the fact that these were mentioned specifically to be from the days before Noah.But yes, you are right, in...

The one unpardonable sin that you speak of is the sin of not believing/acknowledging/accepting/etc. God. The best descriptions that come to mind are in Mark 3 and Matthew 12. This is a very complex issue of theology and somewhat difficult for me to explain. However, I'll give it my best.It works...

I'm very vague about this but perhaps this was found in one of the New Testament apocrypha? I know I've heard this but to be honest I'm not completely familiar with the story.

Wow, my friend you don't know how happy I am to see this thread. Although limited in reference, I have done a lot of studying on this topic.Nephilim itself means "fallen ones" and comes from the word naphal which means "to fall." The first reference comes in Genesis 6:4. This appears to be part...

I've been looking for the same - if I come across anything I will let you know. I ask the same if you come across anything as well.

Excellent topic, I was actually going to start a post on this myself.Like a lot of other people right now, I've been very interested in this Gospel of Judas that has been such a hot story. I watched the National Geographic episode and I've listened to every report I've caught on the topic. I...

Welcome Bope, happy to have you! As you probably figured out by now, I tend to be somewhat conservative myself in both the religious and political world. (Yes that was an understatement.) I don't label myself and don't ask to be labeled any terms such as fundamentalist because I don't fit in...

Though names and dates are in conflict when it comes to Good Friday and the holiday known as Easter, I invite you to take time for either just you or you and your family and even you and your friends to read God's Holy Word and remember what took place nearly 2000 years ago. Don't lose sight of...
