I'm a little confused about grace as tou explain it. Exactly what is it that grace dies for us? Sorry, but I'm struggling to understand what you are saying. Best I can come up with basrd on what you said is that it keeps us from going to hell, but only if we don't sin. And if we masturbate...

Sure, I believe its a sin. Can't disagree. But to you think that someone covered by grace is going to hell if they masturbate?

I support you in that, BA, and agree. I am concerned that there were sincere yet Ignorant Christians that were coerced into fighting. Men whom if they knew what the apostles and Jesus really taught wouldn't have entangled themselves with the crusades and would have objected to the inquisition...

Anyone who participated in killing in the name of Jesus was not a Christian. Jesus preached against it and actually could've fought back with overwelming power. Paul preached going to war, but not in the carnal sense. Perhaps God will have mercy on the souls if the soldiers who fought in...

If the story is true, I salute the man. The holiday with pagan tones as well as the mere suggestion of a calandar dictating to me to be loving to my wife appauls me.

I agree with you, BA. While my Church does have live and lively music, stage and effect lighting and plenty of dancing, its the message and preaching that is the main event.

I am in no position to own a house, but some day I hope to be in that position. I am not saying I will.... I just want to be in the position to do so! 2 Timothy 2:4 says that no man who warreth entangles himself with the affairs of this life, so that he can please him who hath chosen him to...

Aspen, Have you read the story of Gideon lately? It can be pretty comical if you slow down and contemplate what is happening. Go to Judges chapter 6. We see Gideon hiding in the wine press. And angel comes to him and says, "The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour". Mighty man? Of...

Good for you, Aspen. Annulments aren't Biblical. I simphathise with your delemna, but haven't figured out how to respond. YOu do need God, but not more than ever. You always needed him, its just now you realize it more than ever. Don't take that the wrong way... We always need him, but we...

Yea KingJ.... I can go with that. Granted, I believe in predestination and that it was God's will all along... But I was in the world. The wilderness of sin.... Someone had to come and get me out of it. If there wasn't a Christian who didn't venture out into the "worldly", they wouldn't have...

I personally do not have a cross in my house and don't want one. It was a Roman form of torture and death, which Jesus had to endure. I have heard of pagan roots in that form of torture and death, but I won't go into it because I am not able to verify it. HOWEVER, Jesus did say to take up...

It's a simple answer but one that is very hard to accept: Isaiah 14 isn't talking about Satan. It's talking about the King of Babylon, namely Nebuchanezzer. People read that chapter and see that he "fell from heaven" and immediately link it to Satan falling from heaven. But that's the only...

Entertainment? Well, I love going to Church to learn, sing, dance, praise God and such. I'm into fitness and enjoy working out, running and cycling. Every once in a while I watch a movie or TV show, but often the TV watches me more than I do it (I get engrossed in my thoughts). Love playing...

You did not answer the question, nor did you address the main point. Can I, therefore, assume that you acknowledge that no one said they didn't meet in houses and that the physical building -- be it a house or a building -- doesn't make it a Church? I assume that only because most people who...

Marksman, who said the churches didn't meet in houses? I certainly didn't. I acknowledge I made some goofy typos in my post, but I didn't say they didn't. My point was that meeting in a house -- or any other venue -- didn't make it "church". What happened when they got there did...

LOL!!! Yea.... That one was pretty easy to figure out!

And I can say the same for you. You've obviously made up your mind and the Scriptual evidences I've provided you aren't going to persuade your opinion. As for the "condemnation" you spoke of.... I wasn't condemning you, I was making a point. I hope you got the point but since you feel its a...

As it should be!

2 Timothy 3:16 says all scripture is given by inspirationg of God, and is profitable for doctrine. Yet, we have some here on this board that think they are wiser than the scripture and Solomon. Solomon... Wisest guy in the world and yet some folks think they are smarter than him. Jesus made...

Justaname, I'm going to freelance this a bit and not respond quote - to - quote. The bottom line is that I appreciate commentaries, but not to the point above scripture. When I read the scripture about Jesus, the whip and the money changers, my mind is not changed. Jesus made the whip with...
