Thanks BA, Please keep in mind the new rules, especially the parts I highlighted as they pertain to what is going on here. No Flaming, Goading or Harassment All members should be treated with the utmost respect and courtesy at all times following the rules of civil discourse, this includes...

I fear it is dangerous just to cut loose from the church as we know it. Despite its flaws, it does have the truth about Jesus and is doing some good. The truth they have is suppressed by unrighteousness, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. Remember Matthew 23:3.

Rather the queen of heaven is a devil or not makes little difference. To worship any but God, real or imaginary, is idolatrous..

John 11:24-26 24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe...

The context of this speach from Jesus is to address the behaviour of the pharisees and warn others of the same. It has everything to do with the heart. Otherwise Jesus was contradicting other teachings.

Some of these things you mentioned in another topic are misunderstood from Matthew 6. Matthew 6:1“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. Jesus was not creating arbitrary rules, but...

I have heard of Christians who would be afraid to call on Jesus at death because they fear judgement. Utter foolishness I say. If you look to Jesus in life, why not do the same at death?

Does no one else think God blesses us so we may be a blessing to others? People are hung-up on the word prosperity.

But what do you do when people say they believe, but don't go to church because of the hipocrisy they rightly see from its members.

Peace to you Osten. Proverbs 16:9. You can follow your dreams if they are not in conflict with the Lord's will. Whatever calling the Lord has for you will be revealed in his timing. You may benefit from a period of prayer and fasting so that your eyes may be opened and your faith increased...

I too repented of an OEC in favor of YEC within the last few years. The Lord guided me to the truth after I started sharing my false belief with another that the translation for days should have been less specific as to be any period of time (a while).

Also consider what Jesus said to the man who died next to him on the cross. "Today you will be with me in Paradise" I dont see how the soul can die with the body, the word 'Today' wouldnt be true.

I have never had a problem with calling death Sleep as Jesus did. It explains why the dead know nothing Ecclesiastes 9:5. IMO the soul exists in a dreamlike state when apart from the body. Hence it knows nothing, as knowledge is with-held from us in a dream. But in a dream we react, and...

This topic has strayed from the OP for a month now without returning to it. I agree it should be locked.

Lets try to keep this on the original topic. If you want to discuss forum policies please start a new topic or an existing one that is related. I recommend reading the following for answers first. Rules Statement of Faith Statement on the Trinity

Just so we are clear Jim, The rules for this forum define what is acceptable on this forum. This forum has a precedent of accepting those who do not believe in the Holy Trinity as Christians. Anyone who claims to be Christian is considered to be a Christian here. If there is an issue where...

Where's the poll? Anyways, How I understand it is God is capable of anything but will do nothing contrary to his purpose, So that he may be proven righteous. He is Holy and will not compromise his character. I do not think he has rules, because rules are for those who are tempted to sin...

I wouldn't want to be perceived as caving for the sake of money. It seems a good idea to donate proceeds to a family values charity.

As much as I disagree with you normally, there is something to what your saying. We are to love our enemies, so that means we should serve our enemies. That is how you overcome evil with good. Be a slave to everyone. Does this mean we should enable bad behavior? Absolutely not, but baking...
