    Without blood there is no...whoops

    Hi, I am not sure, to Christians this deals with primarily with the second advent of Jesus. Ezekiel 37 is an eschatological prophecy about Jesus coming back to the earth after his ascension, and the temple being set up during the thousand year reign of Christ, also known as the "kingdom age."...

    Christian, prove from scripture Astral projection is demonic

    I personally do not believe in astral projection. But from a Christian perspective, I am not sure about the prohibition in the bible against it. Nor do I understand the practice of it. But I do know the bible prohibits any practice of sorcery or witchcraft in any form. Now in saying that, I am...

    Pro-life and control of women- where do we draw the line?

    Hi at the risk at sounding a bit rhetorical. What about the rights of unborn children? should they the be protected?

    Jesus and the Problem of Evil

    Now before I answer I must say I am not a gnostic or a duelist, so our views on this will differ, but that's ok. But Jesus explained the meaning of this parable, here I'll underline the points of this parable that explains my position on this. Here is what Jesus said: "The field is the world...

    Conservatives only: Do you believe that same sex marriage should be legal?

    No, I do not support same sex marriages. But that does not mean I ostracize individuals from the gay community. I have friends that are gay, and they know my position. I just believe marriage is between a man and a women. I am a conservative, and people are very surprised by that due to me...

    Jesus and the Problem of Evil

    Interesting, although this is very allegorical. Jesus is actually talking about his second advent. And the fate of certain individuals When he returns to the earth. But your outlook on these scripture are interesting and well thought out, and can be applicable.

    Was the Epistle of James a Rebuttal to Paul?

    Hmm, Romans 7 is about Paul trying to keep the law before his conversion as a pharisee and realizing he was unable to do so to perfection, and then seeing his own complacency and a need for a Redeemer. And then goes on to acknowledging in Romans 8 that this dilemma is resolved in Christ. Paul...

    Paul was a Jew.

    Now I am no a scholar, but its pretty clear Paul was a Jew and a Pharisee at least that's what he called himself in his own writings when he addressed his former life and beliefs before he became a Christian, if you use is own writings as evidence. But he did drop judaism after his conversion...

    How can Jesus have to genealogies?

    No not really. Hmm "a blind attempt". Could this be a rhetorical thread lol,

    Gothic

    I have seen this pic before its pretty funny, but this is not Goth, this is a more like a Norwegian death metal look. Goth has nothing to do with death metal or upside crosses or pentagrams or any of that stuff. Unfortunately they are a lot of misconceptions and bad stereotypes about the...

    Gothic

    Hmm, I am Goth and have been for many years, so I guess my opinion would be bias lol. But I am also a Christian so I guess the subculture has a different meaning for me in some ways. Of course I like the subculture but not every interpretation of it. And know not all of us are a "Bunch of...

    What is your religious dislike?

    Hmm, I guess I'll just state some things I dislike with in my own faith or rather what I dislike in the attitudes of others that share my faith. I guess I dislike the condescending and judgmental attitude of some that share my faith. You know the holier than thou personalities. I try really hard...

    why can't we have a relationship with other men?

    Hmm this is a loaded question and can be a bit complicated and controversial to answer. There is prohibition in the bible against homosexuality and lesbianism, this is quite clear from scripture. As well any sexual relationship outside of marriage. This is something you may have to discuss with...

    IYO: Can you be saved by faith alone?

    In Christianity initial justification before God yes comes through faith. But to remain saved one must still obey the conditions of the Gospel while keeping his faith. That is the most simplistic answer I can give..
