I love how you answered your own question. I would have said as much myself had you not beat me to the punch "Christianity has the distinction of being the only world religion that begins by dismissing the creed of it's founder." Sir Anthony Buzzard. "It is not that Christianity has been...

What an interesting thread. And quite revealing as well. I'm a responsible firearms owner. I do not carry concealed. I choose to make my position on just violence obvious to any who would choose violence in pursuit of whatever evil desire has entered into their unregenerate hearts. I am also a...

I don't play gotcha games Jim. It was an honest question. And you still haven't answered it. Your preaching to the choir friend. Most of what passes for "gifts", tongues especially in charismatic circles, is nothing more than Hocus Pocus. A great deal of it is also demonic and demonically...

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who caught that. I sincerely don't know whether to laugh or cry at the horrifying state of what passes for Christianity in the West these days. American "christians" absolutely worship a man who could be nothing other than a textbook grandiose narcissist, with...

Did Paul claim to speak in tongues more than anyone? Did he not also thank God for his ability to do so?

Yes Jim, Paul was clarifying and correcting. While also saying that he spoke in tongues more than anyone. You have good reason to question the motives as well as the methods of the charismatic movement and Pentecostalism in general. I'm not arguing that. But anyone who has read your...

Perhaps it's time to give the rotting corpse of eschatological debate a decent burial. Oh what a joy it would be to see a thread about how to have a deeper prayer life, victory over sin, heartfelt obedience, walking in the Spirit, or even effectively sharing the Gospel. And wouldn't it bless...

I'm going to presume that you are one of our younger brothers. With that in mind, young man, if you can go as much as eight months without some kind of release, then I guarantee you, you are doing far better than many of your elders. Fornication is indeed sexual sin, in all it's many...

I usually have several books open at once, but at the moment only two. Abide in Christ by Andrew Murray and The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification by Walter Marshall. Sometime very soon I will be revisiting Biblical Theology by John Owen. Not the whole thing, just Book 6. Which in my humble...

11Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong...

If someone professes to have a prayer language, and they use that language to pray in the Spirit for the good of those around them, then why would anyone take it upon themselves to belittle them or discourage them for such a practice? 1Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but...

Ha ha, is this some type of trick question? I don't have a pastor brother, I have a Savior and Lord.

That Jesus Christ is everything, our wisdom, our redemption, our justification, our sanctification, our advocate, High Priest, King, Savior, Redeemer, Lord, Big Brother, express image of the Father, friend. And the Lover of our souls, in whatever shabby condition they may be at any given moment.

Just the other day I was reading about the crucifixion and thinking also of how Paul said, that we "have" been crucified with Christ. It occurred to me that there are ever two choices before me. I could be like thief on the left, or the one on the right.

Psalms and Proverbs daily. But I will never get enough of the Gospels. God manifested Himself to us in human form, we would be fools not to hang upon His every word.
