    What can I say about Calvin? Nobody's perfect.

    Heavenly trumps?

    There are so many liars that want Christians to look even more foolish before the world. I believe they would even make fake videos for that purpose. So unless I heard it myself I wouldn't believe it.

    Yea, it seems pretty common sense to us now. I guess back in the 16th century I'd be a radical, or dead.

    Nope, my denomination originates from the Anabaptist movement.

    Is Jesus the Son of God....truly or metaphorically?

    While Elijah's nature is fascinating as one to whom this scripture applies John 3:8, it has nothing to do with the OP. Consider this the last opportunity to return to the OP before the topic is closed.

    Heavenly trumps?

    When I looked into the reports a few years ago it was dismissed as a hoax. Here is a snopes article on the event. http://www.snopes.com/photos/supernatural/strangesounds.asp

    Common ground

    Yes to all points. My denomination (Church of the Brethren) meets once a gear for the love feast where we share Communion and wash one-another's feet. It is a time of introspection and sacrificial love in remembrance of Jesus' gift. The bread and grape juice are considered symbolic. I...

    How are we to respond to these things?

    Simply seeking to engage you to try and grasp the basis of your argument. What do ruling powers have to do with this situation? Hollywood is not the government, and boycotting a movie is not rebellion. Do you think Ephesians 6:12 is a contradiction? We should resist the advances of the enemy.

    How are we to respond to these things?

    That comes across as being very arrogant. As if your words are directly from God above. Face it that your just as fallible as the next man.

    How are we to respond to these things?

    Why would Jesus condemn the Romans at that time? Hes the one that built them up and used them for his righteous purposes, like the Babylonians before them. And the will of the father is different for every person; yet there are some common elements such as the requirement to love one-another...

    How are we to respond to these things?

    I say stick to what your good at, so tilt at windmills if that's your fancy. Better to have someone hollering from the choir loft than no one at all. It can only increase God's glory at the judgement if your right, cause he can say "I sent so and so to warn you."

    Is Jesus the Son of God....truly or metaphorically?

    It is your opinion that your doing God's work by responding to insults, not mine. As for discipline the only recourse you officially have is private messages, which you can invite third parties to BTW. Then there is the report button, to bring offences to our attention for editing, removal, or...

    The sin of unbelief

    Let's say water baptism and the eucharistic are symbolic of something spiritual. Can we be condemned for failing to do something symbolic?

    "We Need a Moratorium on Genetically Modifying Humans"

    How ironic it would be, for people to gain immortality only for them to wish for death. It would be funny, but in those days I don't think anyone will be laughing.

    "We Need a Moratorium on Genetically Modifying Humans"

    I agree. But it is human nature to desire eternal life, so if there is an avenue attain a longer life in this world nearly everyone will take it.

    The sin of unbelief

    In the context I think the gospel is supposed to be this: 1 Corinthians 15
