All good points posted here, but I thought I would wait a while to see if anyone would notice that there is a contrast in all the rest, as compared to Christianity and Islam. Do you see it?

I think you might want to do some checking as to what "prophesy" is, and what "Scripture" is. This verse that I think we all knew you were going to bring up here, has nothing at all to do with the interpretation of Scripture. In fact prophesies given to men are the substance of what many of...

But, when ANY of us post Scripture, there is no escaping the fact that it is still OUR OWN personal opinion derived from how each of us independently interprets that particular verse. If that were not true, then you would see every word in the Bible as I see it. But, you don't do you? Nor do...

If you don't know by now, then you are not reading all the posts.

Well, at any rate, the outfit in Huntsville, Alabama, right?

I sure wish that if young kids could learn nothing else, they would get "Zero Budgeting" into their heads.

My wife and I are well-settled, and we have no money problems anymore. But, we recently took a Financial Course because we wanted to know how to help younger people. I have to tell you that it shocked the daylights out of us that so many young people are surviving on almost nothing, and STILL...

That's Brent Wilson's game, right?

I was recently banned from "Christ Forum" because the owner, William Thomas, Jr., decided I "wasn't orthodox enough" to be on his forum.

We live in a very modest neighborhood. The average income for younger people here is about $10 an hour. (Before taxes) The small house (just over 1,000 sf) next door rents for $1,300 a month. A single worker would GROSS $1,600 a month. How is it that you say only one of them needs to work?

That is poetic language, and not the word, "alone", in the sense you might be taking it. It means, as you yourself said, "each of us is RESPONSIBLE for our own understanding of and relationship with God." (This kind of misunderstood assumption is where we so often trip ourselves up in our...

One of the many ways that I found led me to Jesus: On Teaching Kahlil Gibran No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of...

Because of my recent refocusing on The Shack, I happened to mention the book in a church class. The man leading the class, the second in charge at this church, almost "glared" at me. I knew, instantly, that I had kicked a Sacred Cow in the side. That Sunday, I apologized to the main preacher...

I wonder how Pricilla & Aquilla managed to do what the Bible says they BOTH did? Did Pricilla just bake them some cookies and make coffee?

There is a whole long list of views of other people that I was taught in various churches — mainly the CoC — over the years, that I can no longer even entertain since I actually began reading the Bible for myself. Time and time again, I would come across passages that I was told mean "thus and...

As you said, "They are my views", so I usually just notice those of others, and that's about it.

"Some men seem to have to find "authorization" to silence women they can't dominate."

I guess flagrant Feminists have really made a lot of men frightened to death of anything but a mealy-mouthed woman who cowers like a timid mouse in the presence of men. And, sadly, some women seem to bask in that, also.

Is that the one where they just had a comprehensive change of the rules? (There are three, I believe, a CF.net, a CF.com, and a CF.org.)

You say you are going to a Bible college? But you are not CoC? Are your professors? Is that why you can only go where they attend?
