I think the trouble with US thinking we can reinterpret the Bible is that if entire groups and staffs of translators missed things, the likelihood is high that we are also going to get many things wrong. So, essentially, we remain in just about the same position.

Yeah, my friend shares a building with our old church (getting pretty common now days) and we finally ended up leaving there because our congregation also began turning to celebrating those "alternative" lifestyles. It is a shame, because otherwise, we really liked that congregation, and we...

One of my friends is a PCUSA minister, and despite their Liberalism, I have attended there. It is just that I seem to have an aversion to almost any denomination that is, in my opinion, overly Liturgical.

I have to admit I never gave the Presbyterians much thought before I learned that Christian Reformation (basically, Dominionism) grew directly out of that denomination and both the large and small Westminster Confessions. Although I don't agree with CR, I respect a lot of their thinking, and...

I found this interesting...….. According to some well-known pastors, Jesus’ teachings are primarily about fire and brimstone. For example: “… he [Jesus] himself speaks twice as often of hell as of heaven.” — D.A. Carson, Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and His Confrontation with the World “He...

Oh gosh, I do things wrong probably every day. I think Jesus gave us something like 147 commandments, and I doubt there is a one I have not broken.

What He says is true. The way we act is something entirely different...…. and none of us come close to obeying the way you want to claim.

Oh brother, I'll bet THIS is going to be good.

Do you remember who "The Great Commission" was given to? Christ never told us to sit back and relax, because He would go out and usher people into the doors of our church buildings. Even as early as Pentecost, it was the efforts of the Apostles that reached the people listening to the words...

Sadly, another "nothing" when it comes to any action being done BEFORE a child is molested.

He said just the opposite.

Another translation also puts it clearly: Christ’s Letter to Sardis 3 Write the following to the messenger of the congregation in Sardis,for these are the words of the one who holds the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: I know all that you do and I know that you have a reputation for...

*Stranger*, You are even lower than I thought you were.

Probably, the majority do that.

Well, contrary to what most people seem to think, I believe the Bible teaches that God wins in the world with the countless numbers of descendants Abraham was promised. And we are nowhere near that number yet. Approximately 62-65 billion people have lived since Christianity was begun, and only...

One of the most prevalent views on this is that if a person thinks they are getting out of this world soon, and most of it is going to burn any way (including most people), why bother working too hard to expand the kingdom? Personally, I think it might be as long as 10,000 more years till Jesus...

I swear. Some of you probably think a place called "Heaven" exists on the Klingon planet of Kronos. I wonder how many years it took Jesus to slowly drift up there (as they watched Him ascend)….. But, if you actually do believe angels climbed up and down from Heaven on a ladder..... well, who...

That was certainly the case with the people who were taken out of this life in Noah's day.

I am afraid I will keep saying this over and over, if we refuse to work with ex-offenders, and learn how to stop abuse before it happens..... we will continue to protect no child. We will only act out our own vindictiveness AFTER the child has suffered abuse. That kind of passively waiting...

Sorry, all are too dark for me to see.
