You probably know the old: I once slept in a garage ... . So too: I once attended a church ... . Neither make you a car or a Christian. Just look in this Forum, and for most -- just look in a mirror! And not to devolve this "HelpDesk" Topic, -- but let me ask you whether you believe Matt...

Don't you know? Everything in Scripture pertains to Israel; and is limited to the "known world" at the time it was written. Anything beyond this is called "Extra Biblical", which restricts ANYTHING that considers new eras, new technologies, new discovered lands, and new governments -- as...

To All, Great news, apparently an administrator changed my "Faith" from "Other" to "Christian", and I'm now able to post in the broad sections of the Forum! Hope to see you all there. :) Bobby Jo

Apparently some people think that because they're born in a christian (small "c") nation, that they're christians (small "c"). And some people believe that because they attend a christian (small "c") church -- the same thing. But Jesus said that whoever believes on HIM, and does his works...

To All, You know, when people pick their screen names, it often provides some insight into their perspectives. Take "historyb" for example. At first glance it would appear that this individual may have some propensity for "history". And being that this person professes him/her self as a...

Not a fan of Jim Carrey. Seems to have gone off the deep end ... Bobby Jo

Perhaps you forgot your Post #14, and my response #15: https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/new-here.27931/ Or maybe you're not sincere in what you post? Bobby Jo

... well I was apparently able to change my "FAITH" to "Christian", saved it, and then checked it to see if it was "accepted", and apparently it was, -- even though apparently per Forum Guidelines ONLY an administrator can change the "Religion" selection once it has been selected. And although...

I've posted several "Contact Us" requests to change my "Faith" selection from "Other" to "Christian", -- which apparently can ONLY be changed by an administrator --, but haven't received a response or a change as requested. Is this a better venue? Thanks, Bobby Jo

Apparently you missed Post #15. And you also apparently missed the Book of Matthew: Matt. 5:22 But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to...

Perhaps you didn't notice my previous response in Post #30, where I believe that some are happy being accountable to a man, and they're called women. But MEN are accountable to GOD. And these MEN provide their insights but if others aren't in agreement or aren't interested, then there should...

I don't think that GOD distances HIMSELF from the affairs of men. Perhaps we shouldn't either. Bobby Jo

One should ponder which "denominations" follow the model established in 1 Cor. 14, versus a HIRELING that does ALL the preaching, week after week after week after week after week, ad infinitim. 1 Cor. 14:26 What then, brethren? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a...

As you suggest, perhaps Peter should have minded his own business when he rebuked Peter, A DISCIPLE. Remember, if the church does not judge itself, the world will judge it, -- and I think that means that we MUST judge the church: Gal. 2:11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him in...

Actually there are too few like this, and there are too many that just go along with whatever they're told by the Minister/Pastor/Priest that tells them what to do, what to think, and how to act. And given that when Eve sinned, part of her penalty was that she would be under a man, but Adam is...

... so if we hear from the Master, -- is there anyone besides me that has a Scriptural and Historical basis for believing that we crossed the threshold into the Tribulation (42 months per Rev. 13:5, -- not seven years as most errantly teach) some 9 months ago? 1 Thess 5:3 When people say...

Hi Mayflower, You know, as a young Christian (capital "C") I thought how gentle and pastoral the mental picture of Jesus gently tending the "sheep". But when I explained to concept to my non-believing father, he explained to me that when driving truck as an equally young man he had to...

It still comes down to where we encourage "wolves" to enter "fellowship"; and "kill" the prophets for calling "wolves", "wolves". -- And that's my point. Where we see GOD as being JUST, holding his flock close to HIS breast and extending HIS hand to those who do not know HIM; we also see a...

"Christian", with a CAPITAL "C", versus the usual "christian", with a small "c". -- Yeah, it's a rarity today, including in many "christian" forums. Bobby Jo

I'm quite confident that when Jesus returns, HE will encourage everyone to do whatever pleases them, in whatever fashion they desire. HE won't have any "AX TO GRIND", and HE certainly won't hold anyone accountable. Rev. 2:27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are...
