I think this one scripture can answer that, yes one can love without being a Christian. Luke 6:32 But one can't be a Christian and not love. 1 Timothy 5:8 & 1 John 4:20 Love acts according to: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Ok now on to my opinion: Love is the spirit of creation

You understand the meaning of "Debate." True or false?

I have also heard of some issues with that book, though I haven't read it myself despite having a copy. After investigating it briefly just now I'm glad I didn't.

I agree that there are much better ways to give. A smaller organization will probably be more efficient; 20% of your donation is likely to be overhead if it goes in the kettle. They try to guilt people into giving: "look at me standing out here in the cold ringing this bell all day, if you...

Its something totally different. The Salvation army is soliciting for donations, that act is not one that can be done in secret. Those who are doing the giving by dropping money in the kettle, and may do so with anonymity.

I find this a horrible way to approach fellow believers. It is as though you put yourself in the role of the tempter, to place others in a situation they may sin. A better way to start a private discussion would be:

You too!!!? I was contacted Dec 3rd at 2:44am

Powerful outpourings of the Spirit usually occur in very poor countries. The poor are accustomed to being dependent on someone or something to survive. They become desperate for God's provision, and if they don't get it they get nothing. God likes to be needed, not just wanted. Matthew 5:3...

I don't think it is possible to reach such people on an intellectual level. Merely state your testimony, what you believe and be as genuine as possible. People can smell something fishy from a great distance, and that article reeks. When people see others displaying the love of Christ that...

I would prefer just "Church." Nothing before it, nothing after it.

How is the Christian supposed to compete in an industry dominated by Godless Liberals? Discrimination by those who hold the purse strings would limit the acceptable content. There may be some christian book publishers, but these are vastly outnumbered by secular ones.

Its a tragedy that he was murdered, I hope he repented before the end.

I've gotten more confirmation for my faith than I would have expected. I'm so grateful to God for revealing to me way more than I deserve, God is good!

This is why I don't believe in evolution, even if there is evidence in experiments with DNA changing in bacteria. Corruption can account for changes in DNA, a process I would call "devilution". Notice how Jesus says no human can understand our DNA. What about angels and demons?

In my line of work I will probably be presented with food that is halal. But it seems there is no effect on the believer, so I should have no objection with eating it. I don't much care for turkey, and would have preferred to share that frozen pizza with Born_Again after a long day of...

A Muslim friend brought to my attention a Boycott against butterball turkeys because they were halal. The reasons for the boycott are bigotry in my opinion, but it got me thinking if there is a legit reason not to eat halal. I asked how it is performed and he says the person killing the...

An analogy: You're piloting your boat and strike a rock, the boat starts to fill with water through a crack that formed in the bow of the boat. You have no bucket and water continues to gush in through the leak. A skilled mariner sees your predicament and swims to your boat, so you invite him...

How does one receive the Holy Spirit, but not have him indwelling? When you receive the Holy Spirit where does he go? I think rather the indwelling Holy Spirit is given at the moment of conversion. Then the Holy Spirit works within for sanctification. Yet it is possible to ignore the Holy...

I have no objection with the OP, and think sjmopas also makes very good points. I appreciate all your posts. I still believe there is a place for judgement, not the lording it over kind of judgement, but the discernment kind. The Church is tasked with helping people to become better...
