    Anybody Hungry?

    I live just across the river from Cincinnati, so I'm very familiar with Skyline & Graeters. I haven't eaten yet today. Suddenly, I'm thinking cheese conies....

    Executing Gays in High School

    Wichita’s East High School student newspaper, The Messenger, has published an editorial which some say argues that any discussion of homosexuality should be kept out of schools and argues in favor of executing gays. Surprisingly, that seems to have stirred up a bit of controversy. The headline...

    Why do you guys fight on here? and I have a proposal for you...

    To a degree, I agree, but insults can be very subjective. I know I've said things before that I didn't think twice about, but the other person read it as an insult. Some of the things you mentioned I would take as condescending, but not really an insult. Others might be highly insulted by them...

    Why do you guys fight on here? and I have a proposal for you...

    Agreed. I think it's entirely possible to talk about whatever differences we may have without the insults and accusations. Going back to the OP's point of what a nonbeliever may think of it, if they see this as a place where Christians rationally discuss issues without the craziness found on...

    Why do you guys fight on here? and I have a proposal for you...

    I'm fairly new to this forum, too, so haven't gotten into any fights with anybody.... yet. I've seen some pretty strong disagreements here, but not much that I would call real fighting. There are all different kinds of Christians and Christian beliefs. None of us are likely to agree 100% with...

    Keeping the peace

    I don't believe Jesus is saying agree with anybody, no matter what they're saying. Jesus himself didn't do that. I find it's best to take a verse in context to determine it's meaning. Following verses 23 & 24 about reconciling with one's brother, I think verse 25 is more about reconciling with...

    Did Al Goire Invent the Internet for WBC?

    Fred Phelps and his buffoons.... err, his church.... ain't scared o' no hackers. In a response to a warning from the group Anonymous that they would attack their websites, WBC retaliated by saying, "The only reason the internet exists is for Westboro Baptist Church..." And here I thought Al...

    Poll: The Music question

    For me, it mostly depends why I'm listening. Just to be listening to music, I like a little bit of everything, including country, opera, and rap. For worship, I prefer slower more serene music and a lot of the old hymns. Driving in the car, I always preferred classical music.

    Taking Pictures Of Our Father's Art...

    Wow, you've got some great pics there. I agree, God's art is so much better than man's. I also love nature photography and try to get out with the camera as often as I can. Let's see if I can post a couple here.... "stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God" ~ Job 37:14

    Please tell me, Who can battle with Almighty God?

    Sure. Of course, if they expect to win, that's another matter.

    Am so naughty!!

    This is just a personal theory, since I haven't really studied this verse. I think the choice was in Pharaoh's actions leading to that point. The hardening of Pharaoh's heart may be something akin to giving "them over to a reprobate mind" in Rom. 1:28, maybe not so much causing him to sin as...

    Christian "gay Bashing"

    I think my computer is having video issues. I keep getting a pop up saying, "Display driver has stopped." Anyway, judging by the top comment on the Todd Hall video, "You are telling the truth. If you are a homosexual. You are not save." It's probably something I would disagree with.

    What Do You Think About The Eddie Long Situation?

    Frankly, I haven't been paying much attention to the Eddie Long situation. So many anti-gay pastors or politicians get caught with their pants down (so to speak) it's hardly even news any more.

    The Inclusion Conclusion

    I tried to get the video to play but it kept crashing my computer. Can you just give a basic synopsis what it's about?

    Christian "gay Bashing"

    Yeah, a synopsis would be good, or maybe just you're trying to make with them. The video's not loading for me. Fixed. Oops

    Sodomites

    One of my old MySpace friends insisted on calling gays “sodomites” because, “That’s what the Bible calls them.” No amount of evidence to the contrary would convince him. He also didn’t seem to care that it’s considered a derogatory term in LGBT circles and never quite understood why he couldn’t...

    How often and how much of the Word do you study each day?

    For just reading, I read a chapter or two a day, however much it takes to turn the page. Makes it easier to remember my place next time.

    Christians Hate The Truth

    That's been my experience, too.... as a Christian. Some Christians can get pretty fierce when they perceive anybody as disagreeing with them. I've even gotten in arguments when I was trying to agree with them, just because I didn't say it in the way they were taught it. All that tells me, is...

    Are Translations Inspired ??

    Generally, I agree with you, except for #1. The original autographs are no longer extant. The best we can do is study the ancient Greek & Hebrew manuscripts, no two of which agree 100%.
