I was exploring scripture and myself until I started being insulted. I called you on your crap. You're hiding behind scripture and not fessing up to your own behavior. I'm not a roll-over-and-die kind of person. You're dealing with walls in your mind just like I am. Write whatever you want in...

The best teachers I have ever come across, are the one's who encourage challenge, because it gives them the teacher the opportunity to talk about what they know, the person learning is deeply engaged, and it gives the ones learning a chance to work through their own minds and truely learn. They...

Give me a break! Yeash! Relax. What are you trying to prove now?You need a lot. You seem like hard people. You need to have me 'in my place'. You're not very friendly. Or forgiving. If I were you, this would be a good time for encouragement. But you continue to prove how much you 'know'. And...

Insight:I have been open about being a new Christian. I turned my life over to Christ about 4 months ago. Where I cam from is a pretty dark place. I had a rough time as a child, which led to a rough time as a teen, and a rough time as an adult. I wish I had given some of my background earlier to...

Cedarheart, you've done absolutely nothing different. Bloviator: I'll take that to heart. Thing about the internet is that you can't actually hear a person's tone. I should have been more careful. I'm sorry I've offended you. I take responsibility for that. I didn't think it through before I...

I still think you have got it backwards. I'm not being legalistic. I'm being the opposite. In Colossians Paul is saying that we have been set free from the law (we agree), so don't take part in such practices (we diverge). Paul was supporting them in NOT doing those things (we diverge). And how...

I don't get how you are responding, jordan. Why don't you explain yourself so I know what you're trying to point out? "Hate to break that up, but we HATE our way."What is that supposed to mean?

Well... why don't you try a different approach. I'd really like to see it your way. You have given me the quote, and told me what it means. Why is it that you interpret it this way? Why is it that you reject my way of interpreting it? I think I understand that we are not subject to the Law, to...

No, Christina, we're not saying the same thing. You are using Colossians to support the practice of these things, saying we are not judged by them so we can do them. I think I got that right. Correct me if I'm wrong. Whereas I am saying the opposite, that we are not judged by these things so we...

(Christina;66355) Colossians 2:16 16Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:Means exactly what it says we are saved by Grace therefore we are not to judge anyone by the food they eat the days they worship, the...

Bullfighter,Your name implies an approach! Not an insult, I'm smiling as I type. It has been my own personal experience that when I become forceful and impatient with others in the matters of God and scripture it is because I care a whole lot about their fate, and I want them to know the...

Cedarheart, I think you could also be taking scripture out of context when you quoted Luke 17:2. But I do see your point. The previous sentence:(Luke 17:1) Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come! And following in Luke 17:3 - Be on your guard! If another...

Jordan, I think you took Collosians 2:16 out of context, and have therefore misunderstood it. Paul is encouraging the Colossians to remain full in Christ. He is telling them not to let the philosophies of man take them captive and condem them. They are full in Christ alone. By allowing...

Christina, I find your suggestion to be very helpful. Being new to Christianity I think it is an excellent suggestion to look up the translations and seek out the meaning with the text for myself. I don't think you gave too much information. I have read a lot of the Bible in the past few months...

Hi there, new here,Isn't there a verse in the bible where Jesus says He does NOT WANT us to be celebrating his birthday? That His death is much more important? I can't recall where I read that, but I'm sure that I did.Can anyone help me out here, and give a location for that verse?dchena
