  1. Q

    Can you be converted?

    So you say you want evidence. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but grew up in Nazareth, a lower class town far from the seat of power and influence, Jerusalem. As a Nazarene, he was looked down upon by the teachers, scribes and businessmen in Jerusalem. He was poor his entire life. He had little...

    Why do Christians hate muslims?

    Here is a short biography of Mohammed; and Christians do not hate Muslims. Christians are called upon to love everyone, even Muslims. We are also called upon to do justice, which may bring us into conflict, but we are to love you nonetheless. Mohammed was poor as a young man, but did become...

    Why do Christians hate muslims?

    You folks take so many verses out of context and do not even know what is being discussed as you quote the Bible. Comical. And Christians do not hate Muslims, although the Muslims do a great job of tempting us to hate them, considering their behavior. Muslims also confuse the West with...

    A Fundamental problem with Fundamentalism

    Everything that occurs is part of God's plan, so indeed, as is demonstrated many times in the Bible, God uses non-believers as part of his plan. As far as our Constitution is concerned, it was written by men, so it does not rise to the level of authority of the Bible. The Constitution may...

    Why are so many christians closed-minded? (my rant)

    Ephesians 1:3-14 3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5he predestined us to be...

    A Fundamental problem with Fundamentalism

    When you look at the Bible as other than what it claims to be, you end up with these kinds of "practical", apostate messes. Looking at the culture in which the Bible was written can be very helpful, but when you do so only to criticize the Bible, you always miss the truth it seeks to give. If...

    Who created God?

    The Bible is quite clear as to its concept: Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, " who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

    Glad so see so many Presbyterians here--ahem

    The biggest Prebyterian denomination, the PC(USA), has been going "non-Biblical" on many issues: homosexuality, Biblical inerrancy, exclusivity of salvation through Christ, the cause of evil in the world, the role of women in ordained ministry, etc. However, there are still many fine Christians...

    What day is the Sabbath?

    These are proof text footnotes 35, 36 and 37, Chapter XXI, from the Westminster Confession about the Sabbath: 35] GEN 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and...

    Why are so many christians closed-minded? (my rant)

    This is a classic debate, and a difficult one. I prefer to see it from a different perspective. God's predestination and election is not known to anyone but God. You must try your best to live by his rules and precepts, whether it earns you anything or not, because of one simple reason--we...

    Latter-day Saints

    Christians believe revelation ended with the Biblical authors; Mormons believe in a latter day revelation (as opposed to inspiration) that is in addition to the Bible. That is a very, very major difference and problem for Mormonism. There are a number of doctrinal differences as well, but...

    Jehovah's Witnesses

    I understood Jehovah's Witnesses did not subscribe to the divinity of Christ--Christ is somehow inferior to God the Father and was created by God the Father, rather than begotten. If so, then they would qualify as a cult, and have serious doctrinal problems. However, I believe they do...

    Where are we as Christians now?

    Your comments on the following, please: "Hindrances to Revival And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. And Isaac digged the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after...

    Question from a child

    God is here. All you need to meet with God now is to accept Christ as your savior. There are other elements as your faith grows in sophisitication, but this is the one that must occur. For a ten year old, she should know this, and be told that she can talk to God through prayer any time she...

    What is Faith?

    You are a master at selective quotation, paraphrase and spin. You must be a politician. We all live by faith. Period. You have to have faith that your muscles will continue to twitch as they did the day before. It is not unreasonable to have this faith--faith is a belief based upon...

    What is Faith?

    Faith is that attribute of human beings that enables them to do every single thing they do. For example, you want to walk across the street. You've done so before, but that was before. You want to do so now. You do so only if you have faith that your legs will work as they have done before...

    If the new testament is the most reliable ancient text

    To those dead in sin, I guess it would not offer much proof. However, Paul gives much detail that a skeptic living at the time could have verified. A liar would typically not have made such verification--or refutation--so easy. It is, of course, not provable in the same way you can prove...

    Life after my death

    I would suggest to you that your concept of death is really predicated on your life, or maybe even an unwitting concept of eternal life. For example, the teenager contemplating suicide thinks about what everyone else will say/do/feel after he's gone. Of course, such thoughts are rubbish, as he...
