First time on this forum in quite some time..2 years, I'm thinking since I logged here last...

I stay relatively calm for the most part, except for when somebody's tailgating me while I'm already doing 5 over the speed limit. I don't have an answer to your question, though - I'm still trying to figure it out myself! LOL

OP, Google is your friend in this case. There are certainly non-Christian historical sources that validate various aspects of the Gospel. I found these rather quickly. If you're truly looking for answers, you can start there instead of demanding that others do your research for you.

To be honest, I love both! I just don't get into the extreme metal - that's a bit much for me. But I'm the kind of guy who can listen to Led Zeppelin and then put on Iron Maiden next. I also have a soft spot for classic rock, like Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, Yes, Rush, etc. Definitely go...

To answer your question, I am not aware of one against the Catholic church, specifically. I think it would depend upon your take of the 7 churches that Jesus told John to write the letters. I have certainly seen modern American churches fit a few of the 7 churches described. Like I said, I'm...

Thanks! I've been listening to Metallica since '85. I saw them in Seattle 2 years ago, and they're still a great live band!

She really is! She's going on 23 now, and I'll put it this way - she has her act a lot more together than I did when I was that age!

No, she wasn't saved before me. She was 8 at the time I was saved. She committed to Christ when she was 16 and was baptized at that time. She took a while because she wanted to make absolutely sure that this is what she wanted. She takes those commitments very seriously.

I'm giving an online praise/shout-out for my daughter. She is in her early 20's and is so dedicated to her faith and her walk with God. She endured some really rough years as a teenager who battled an eating disorder, was bullied, and mocked for her faith. In spite of all of this, she has...

Admittedly, I know next to nothing about Catholicism, so I can't comment on any dangerous aspect of Catholicism, but Islam is quite dangerous nowadays. With that said, I'm not going to label all Muslims as dangerous - that would make me no different than militant atheists who consider all...

Mods, can this thread be closed? This isn't even Unorthodox - this is pure bunk.

When churches focus on growth, the compromises start creeping in. My first church wanted to be a Joel Osteen-style megachurch. My 2nd church was on a much smaller scale (and so Christ-centered), but that church closed after the pastor and his family moved to Florida. My 3rd church started out...

When I made the conversion from atheism to Christianity, I had prayed the Sinner's prayer first and accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. After that, I felt the Holy Spirit guide me to the Word. After my conversion, I had been given a free NLT New Testament from the teacher of a new believer's...

Exactly! Jesus is very much mentioned in Revelation. Not sure where the OP got his/her idea from, other than "interpreting" other scripture.

This was a particular problem at my former church. Not so much with the congregation itself, but more in the youth program. The youth program worship music was very much a rock concert style, which like I said before, not a problem in itself. But that youth pastor was really about numbers and...

This was very much a part of the early church as shown in Acts. Acts 2:42 (ESV) - "And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers." Acts 2:46 (ESV) - "And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their...

I was also surprised that Bran got the throne. I did not see that one coming. I almost expected Tyrion and Sansa to rule together since they were still technically married.

Thanks for the recommendation, @Jon Mathews. I have heard of this series but I have not read it. My local library has it, so I'll definitely reserve this online. Thanks again!

Speaking for myself, I have never been spiritually confused because I listen to hard rock and metal. Yes, I was an atheist until 2005, but it wasn't the result of my choice of music. That was attributed to my upbringing and how I was raised. If somebody claims they're a Satanist or an...

Good recipe there, @Stranger. I like my grits with cheese and bacon, personally.
