    Muslim Friendly Bibles?

    Shall we change the name to Shiva for Hinduism? How about Buddha for our Buddhists. I know, we can just change it to Baal, or maybe Moloch for our pagan friends. Wait better yet why not just leave it looking like this "cleanse them in the name of ___________, ____________, and ___________...

    Not your Sunday School version of The Garden of Eden...

    I like this. No reading between the lines, no adding to the text.

    WHAT DEFINES YOU AS A CHRISTIAN?

    My identity is found in Christ. I hope to be best defined as a humble servant of the Most High God.

    Assurance of salvation

    Salvation is of faith and grace, not works. My best argument for that is the thief on the cross. If I saw a man leaving this life in the street, and he accepted Jesus right then and there, then he receives the free gift just like anyone else. Works are evident in the life of a believer, not...

    Can You Disprove This?

    This can be interesting as a play on words. All things would include everything, including every "you." Yet as you point out, no pun intended, Christ does say that. I would have to say though in context, the key word here is "know." I understand that "know" to be relational or even...

    Intelligent Design

    As opposed to the pagans, I see the atheistic movement being the biggest proponent to their cause, at least in our time. It seems this movement to keep God out of everything they can think of is the beginnings of the new world order. ie, government, schools, science, the public square If you...

    Do we need evil?

    Yeah I can understand this system of thought on the subject. The system I came up with is both exist in love, good being the exemplification of love, evil being the absence of love. I can reckon it to atheism. They hate it when you tell them they have faith, but truly they do. They have...

    Doctrine for Salvation

    Yes I agree. And I did mean to post Romans 10:9-10 as opposed to Romans 9:9-10. Yet my plea is to those who do not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. (JW) Those who do not believe in a bodily assent. (Gnostic, Christian Science, New Agers) Or those who believe in extra biblical texts...

    Doctrine for Salvation

    2 John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. What I have heard said is doctrine does not save you. True, it is God that saves you, by a gift, that is Jesus Christ...

    Can You Disprove This?

    God knows all things, including those who are heirs of the promise and those who are not. To say God does not know you until, is to say God does not know the end from the beginning.

    Intelligent Design

    OK, I know I am late on viewing this documentary by Ben Stein, Expelled: No intelligence Allowed, but wow! To understand the depths of Darwinism and the Nazis. To be introduced the darkest hour of American biology, Eugenics. To see the division wall in science, as compared to the wall in...

    The Rapture

    You are incorrect on your assumption, the order is as it is written as foretold by the use of ordinal numbers as opposed to cardinal numbers, i:e first, second, third. Also to further my point John uses the phrases "and I saw" and "after these things". A plain face reading of the text presents...

    Tithe...NOT a christian doctrine

    God owns everything already. I would not go as far as to say we are not supposed to tithe, but we are not required either. We have freedom to do as we are led by the HolySpirit, out of a glad heart. Any more would put us back under the Law. From the O.P., I feel he is correct as to us...

    Helping the least of Him

    I like Lively Stone's idea. I give most every time I am asked, but I am not always prepared. I am not saying I am some kind of hero or anything, because honestly I am giving out of abundance. Most of us do not know what it is to be hungry, to have a mind that can not function properly because...

    The Rapture

    We know from Paul that the church will not endure the wrath of God. 1 Thessalonians 5:9 By the time of the fifth seal, we know that the wrath of the Lamb is upon mankind. Revelation 6:16-17 If scripture is to be correct, the church must be gone before at least the fifth seal is opened...
