I was watching a TV show today, casually glancing at it whilst cleaning the TV room, when I heard a man discuss a modern female minister as being a prophet of God. I then listened a bit more intensively and realised that he was discussing all minsters as being prophets. Now I could be wrong, in...

So the translation that you recommend is the perfect one, which in turn was translation of the Latin originals? Surely if you are taking that tone then you should be demanding that we read the Bible in the original languages that it was written. Ulitmately, following your tone, all translations...

I am not entirely sure why I feel that I need to post this. I would not presume to say that God has told me to, and I do not wish to cause offence to anyone within these boards, but I feel that these things need to be said. All the ideas contained within the following post came to me in a flood...

(crooner;43708) KookHe gave you life on this planet before you ever gave him a dime.He always blesses us first, before we want to give. We are sinful people that need a God who loves us enough to come to us first. He then gives us a choice to accept Him. We do nothing good enough for Him, only a...

Although they may not be strictly christian books, if you feel uncomfortable reading modern literature due to the levels of swearing and sex that they contain, go further back in literary history and read books by authors such as Austin, Dickens and Gaskell to name but a few. Their novels were...

(Faithful;43549) Under which part of Deut 5:8Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: is ridiculous. Angels are in heaven and earth are they not? An image does...

(Jackie D;43566) personally, if I saw a person dressed as Christ on Halloween, a crown of thorns to identify who the costume portrayed, it would be offensive to me... I agree. I find it more offensive for people to dress up as Jesus on Halloween than for people to dress up as the Devil or...

(tim_from_pa;43553) I agree with both, but since we are in the age of grace, "generous" with money should mean that 10% is a minimum or benchmark starting point. I was actually being easy on the kid. The average "Christian" gives a measly 1-2% of their income and then wonder why their lives are...

I think that part of the problem, regarding focusing on the material aspect of life as opposed to the spiritual, is the society and external influences on people. No matter how hard people try to focus solely on their relationship with God, adhering to the what Jesus taught (Matthew 6:31-33...

Ok, thank you for your help.

This might seem a pointless topic but I am getting really confused about tithes and when you have to pay them. For example, I have a part time job, working only one day a week, and am unsure as to whether I should be tithing my wages. I have tried looking for answers in both my bible and prayer...

You can't use the argument that God knew we would never keep to His Divine rules so it is ok to break them. That is just not how it works. God knew we were inherently flawed and sent us our Saviour to cleanse us of our sins, yes this is true, but this doesn't mean that He is allowing us to go...
