    Christian Christmas

    There are those who groan about Christmas and all the extra expense and secularism surrounding the holiday.... But a dirty little secret is that it's not about them. It's for those of us who can use it as license to give without a thin film of an excuse .... because we have Christmas to use...

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    I know for a fact that you know lots of scriptures. However, the scriptures themselves cannot grant you salvation from your sins. That's Jesus's job solely and completely. Do you disagree?

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    One other tidbit is in John's Gospel 1:14 . Many people would like to have a conversation with Jesus and meet him personally to help know him on a personal level. But this verse "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" tells us that if we want to know Jesus we need to know scriptures.

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Now that would be a good question for Paul (2Tim 3:16) and the Writer of Hebrews and Moses. King David, when writing yet another Psalm, said that the Torah was like : silver refined 7 times, morning dew, perfect and etc. Joshua told the Israelites, " Do not let this Torah depart from your...

    Finally decorated for Christmas...how about you?

    I've been decorating and baking up a storm. When I lived in an apartment I still cranked out 1,000 cookies every year plus gingerbread houses. Now I have a house....so we set up the toy electric train around the tree and I do over a 1,000 chocolate truffles too. All given away for Christmas.

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Two things are said to be "God breathed". One is mankind and the other are the scriptures. Both are "living and active". I'm sorry but I cannot agree with you on this subject.

    Fellowship With Transgenders

    What also have trouble understanding is Alcohol and Tobacco products advertising. We do not allow these things near children because of their young age and being tempted to use them by the advertising.... So it's somehow acceptable to advertise sexual perversion to children but not Tobacco...

    Freed : From Calvinism and HyperCalvinism )Tulip<>5 Pont.

    God's election is not selection. God knows the end just as well as the beginning and the middle. No surprise parties for God. (Jesus? yes. But that was one of many more important reasons for living a human lifestyle) So.. Look at the parable of soils. All the different soul types were made...

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    If you don't know what you are saying or intending to say how should God know is the scripture you are torturing to say its between two people.

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    YOU have been claiming God is not omnipotent and omniscient with this thread along with your lousy hermeneutics. On top of this you destroy God's diety with your ridiculous notions of God being some sort of supernatural human. Really? This is the god you worship? He sounds extremely...

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    If YOU don't know what you are saying then God doesn't either. That's what this verse is saying. God doesn't have any specific language. This is a notion made out of whole cloth that people have created from this passage. (Omniscience is God's hallmark) Why people want to bring God down...

    Freed : From Calvinism and HyperCalvinism )Tulip<>5 Pont.

    Well I'm definitely not a Calvinist. I just have a healthy respect and fear of God. And God's Sovereignty? Somewhere between Jonah, Caleb, Elijah (under the broom tree), and Sampson is where I sit at theologically. But we can know specifically what Jesus meant. First....forget the...
