    Feeling conflicted between my faith and my feelings

    I wouldn't be too concerned about your feelings of hatred and un-forgiveness. You can't control your feelings. But as KingJ hinted at you can choose to forgive, even though you still feel the hatred and bitterness. Leave changing those feelings up to God. All you can do is be willing to...

    How Sure Are You Of Going To Hell?

    I don't know of anyone that has resigned themselves to hell thinking they could never meet God's high standards. Why would this be sad? Pleasure is meaningless after it has been had, all it leaves you with is a want for more. Moreover, wouldn't it give the ones whom deny themselves and...

    The Garden or the Cross

    God couldn't have done any less to prevent Adam's fall, but I don't blame God for it. He trusted man more than he should have, because it is in his loving nature to do so. Regardless of the cause of the fall the end result is a select few being nearer to God than Adam ever was.

    The Garden or the Cross

    I believe we are better off. God came and went in the garden, to such a degree that his creation became lonely. He was forced to draw us near in order to save us, and we may near him forever. Revelation 7:15-17

    Eating Blood?

    Leviticus 3:16 "The priest shall burn them on the altar as a food offering, a pleasing aroma. All the fat is the Lord’s." I wounder if the fat represents us Christians connected with Christ.

    OBAMA"S PULLOUT FROM IRAQ WASTED ALL THE USA LIVES LOST IN IRAQ WAR.

    I could understand using all caps if you have a disability, but why then do you use lower case for some words and not others? It appears you use it not only for proper nouns, but also for when your trying to make a point. When you use all caps to make a point that is shouting. I'll give you...

    "Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”

    I believe Jesus wasn't angry about the sale of goods and services, but with the profiteering that was taking place. EDIT I changed my mind. While I'm sure God is opposed to profiteering in all places his house is sacred. No business should be conducted where worship takes place.

    Is homosexuality right or wrong? A closer look...

    If everyone accepts and praises you its a sign that your doing something wrong. It seems that only the Christian meets with resistance from all sides.

    Is homosexuality right or wrong? A closer look...

    The OT laws and precepts I consider to be like a shadow of the will of God. From these it may be possible to get Idea of God's reasons, sometimes those reasons may be too obscure. However, I trust that every law had or still has a good reason behind it. This includes Leviticus 18:22 Sins...

    Is homosexuality right or wrong? A closer look...

    If we keep with the context of this scripture it doesn't refer to the teachings themselves as bearing fruits but of the fruits of false prophets. Matthew 7:15-16. This argument doesn't make since either, as the same thing could be said for the Law of Moses which leads to death, However it was...

    Is homosexuality right or wrong? A closer look...

    Emotions are irrelevant, as the author of the video conceded. The argument in the video was that monogamous homosexual behavior is not forbidden by the bible. When someone twists scripture to say something is good which God considers an abomination that is a serious problem. Isaiah 5:20...

    Welcome to the Forum William. You can find the rules Here As for Acronyms I'm not aware of ones used specifically for this website. An internet search should reveal what they mean, or you could ask any specific questions here.

    TV signal returning

    I'm glad the television has moved to digital. I doubt the broadcasts are strong enough to get bounced back in tact anymore. I wouldn't want the filth on today's television to persist.

    What is Heresy?

    It is possible that this thread will be closed as this particular section of the forum is for other faith members and the discussion has turned into an internal debate among Christians. Don't worry about being banned for starting such a discussion. While there may not be consensus as to what...
