And you did not provide an interpretation of those verses.

You haven't interpreted 1 Cor 15:53-55 (ESV), you have simply quoted two sets of verses. That's not engaging in the task of interpretation.

Wormwood, You have provided an excellent response to demonstrate that the Scripture teaches from Romans 1:19-20 that all are responsible before God for the revelation of God in creation and in conscience. The revelation is such that all people, when they stand before God 'are without excuse'...

Daniel, I also come from a very secular part of the world where there is little understanding of Scripture in the general community and so few apologists for the faith. For me, I often use the model that Paul used at the Areopagus (Acts 17:22-34 ESV). We ask the provocative questions and then...

brakelite, How, then, do you interpret these verses? Oz

Thanks pom2014. In my part of the world, a 'Pom' is slang reference for someone from the UK. Are you from the UK? If not, in which part of God's world do you live? Oz

Stan, What's the reason for Saskatchewan not going DST? I would have thought that all of Canada would experience lots of twilight in the summer to benefit from DST. We did when we lived in the Fraser Valley of BC way back in the mid 70s. That was a lovely part of God's world, but oh so cold...

Wormwood, There is a practical issue here that has ramifications for many people in our world. According to Wycliffe Global Alliance, Scripture & Language Statistics 2014 were: The challenge is: How can the authority of Scripture apply to these 180 million people from the 1,860 languages that...

Hammerstone, Thanks so much for your welcome and encouragement. I've recommended a couple more people today to consider paying CB a visit. I'll be emailing a retired Anglican evangelical clergy (a rarity here in Qld) to invite him to participate. I'm in the final stages of completing my PhD in...

On this issue of authority for the church, should we not take some guidance from the OT? There are any number of verses with content such as 'if you obey my commandments, then I will....' (e.g. Deut 11:13; 13:4, 16) There are verses in the Pentateuch that parallel this one from Joshua: Joshua...

Thanks mate! How come that you know anything about cricket? Are you from Rocky Top VA? When we lived in the USA, we saw very little cricket played but there is a national USA cricket team that I've seen on TV. We saw more cricket in North America when we lived in BC Canada. Saw some matches at...

Thanks BA. I've now made those changes in the 'settings' of my profile. Oz

rockytopva, John Shelby Spong's false teaching has been around for quite a while. When he was here in Australia and I was living in our capital city of Canberra, I had an article published in The Canberra Times. Here is a copy on my homepage: The Gospel Distortion: A reply to John Shelby Spong...

Glad to connect with you, brother in Christ. Which are the most active threads on CB that could be of interest to me? I'd appreciate your recommendations. Or, is it a matter of trying a few topics? How can I be notified of all replies to threads to which I contribute. I know how to access...

Stan, In Brisbane, unless there is daylight time in Canada, we are 18 hours ahead of Vancouver BC. Being in the sub-tropics, Queensland doesn't go on daylight time like the rest of Australia. There's no benefit to us here, but it's a pain you know where when all of the east coast of Aust is not...

Cardinal, Let me speak as a Christian and a counsellor. I've recently retired after 34 years as a family and general counsellor and counselling manager, the last 17 years full-time. After reading your situation, a few things come to mind: These children need protection and you have been...

Thanks, mate (Aussie lingo). It's done. Bless you for your immediate assistance. It's 10.30am Tuesday as I write. What time is it in your part of the world?

I'm brand new here and can't readily find a place where I can add an avatar to my profile. Would you please be able to provide instructions? Many thanks. Oz

I'm an Aussie living in Brisbane, Qld, Australia. One of my Christian friends recommended CBF to me. I'm an orthodox (small o), evangelical Christian and have been one for about 50 years. I'm currently working on some in-depth NT study but enjoy interacting with believers and unbelievers alike...
