Good morning all and welcome nucleardave,I thought that I would just share a thought about mathematics and the tendency for some folks to associate it with objective truth. First let me say that I realize that without the use of mathematics we would never have gone to the moon, erected...

I remember my father saying to me something like; "You are not old enough to understand this yet, but when you do, you will know what I am talking about". My father has passed over now, but his words still come back to me every once in awhile. Here, my young friend, let me share some with...

Hello Tim,About two years ago I interviewed for a part-time position with the American Baptist Church. Since I had been filling the pulpit for them on an occasional basis, they were confident in the call that they extended to me. I thought a very long time about the opportunity to teach and...

Thanks B'midbar. That's interesting. Christ plus nothing,Brother Bernard

Good morning everyone,May I contribute a word or two? At one time, when I was researching the second coming of Christ, I happened across something which I tucked away for further thought and research. I would like to share it with you. It's found in 1 Thess. 4:17;"After that, we who are still...

" . . . each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned him to and to which God has called him. This is a rule I lay down in all the churches. Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He...

Brett,I agree with Tim. Please don't let this issue rattle you. I have felt just like you in the past - especially when I was young in the faith, full of fervent love for the Lord and anxious to show that love to Him and others. I strongly believed that in some way, God had placed upon my...

Greetings,I have already replied to a few threads on this board and have found the focus, for the most part, to be on Christ and the scriptures. I have confidence that this will remain so by those that guide and manage this site. I would like to offer my opinion and experience to you as a...

RND,I am saddened that you felt you had to respond in the fashion you did. Thank you for correcting my spelling.Christ plus nothing,Bernard

I will say this kindly, but I will say it. I know you very well RND. I studied in your schools and at your seminary. I preached from your pulpits. Your gospel is the 7th day Sabbath and you beat that Sabbath drum until nothing else can be heard. Since the beginning, your organization has...

This has always been a favorite text of mine simply because its like a catch-22. Think about it, if you identify with the religious and spiritually righteous individual, well, you come up salvation short. If however, you identify with the sinner, then you are salvation bound. The righteous...

I will have to weigh in with the last reply to this thread. It has always surprised me how confused people look when I tell them that the bible is not the primary expression of the Word of God. I then direct the reading towards John 1:1. Jesus is the first and primary expression of the Word...

You know, as I see it at this point in my journey, the self talk that goes on between our ears comes from at least two sources - the Spirit of Christ and our sinful nature, i.e., "the old man of sin". For years I believed that God would speak to me audibly and so I waited and waited and waited...

Greetings,The sabbath debate has a very long history my friends, going back to the first century conflict between Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians. I am sure that you will find a great deal of information concerning this if you browse the web. Having said that, allow me to say that...

Greetings everyone,I welcome the opportunity to share Christ with you. Everyone, have a wonderful day,Brother Bernard
