    What is freedom? (For anyone who considers themselves "Christian")

    Sandy has correctly answered this statement, to the best of my knowledge. In the contextual usage of freedom it refers to those “in Christ” and being “free” is simply; free from sin. As Sandy stated earlier it is free from the curse of death, relatively we can connect it to Romans 6:23 “The...

    Christians only: Please help me understand!

    You can't. Like Christiangirl said it we all deserve hell when it comes down to it, but on the contrary, we can not be sure how far His grace measures...:D

    God's Morality

    God is outside of our culture out side of our ethical viewpoints, outside of our sense of morality. Imago Dei, Latin image of God. We are all born in the image of God, in which a sense of morality was intrinsically born into us, it must be taught though. If God was bound to our morality he would...

    Why Do Some Christians Not Recognize The Holy Mother Of Jesus?

    I’m pretty sure it is a beautiful way to pray, but I have to agree with Soy. If Jesus himself shot a woman down for praying to his mother, are we not to live by that example? Why would we do something that Jesus instructed the woman not to do? Aren’t we to follow Christ in His footsteps hand and...

    The Bible totally perfect...right?

    I might be the only one to agree that inspired does mean perfection. Reasons- 1) We all agree "All scripture is God-breathed" (2 Tim 3:16) 2) The Greek word in this passage "theopneustos" does not mean "inspired of God" Rather God-breathed, as a product of the creative breath of God. Ex. God...

    The Bible totally perfect...right?

    Exactly that is where I say it should/could be looked at as a textbook. In a sesne of textbook, it ought to be studied. Right? Into what it actually is saying, so that we don't take things out of context, misinterpret..etc. Ex. This girl was smoking a cigar when we went to Applebee's outside of...

    The Bible totally perfect...right?

    Yea, I agree, but most would sum it up to say it is a history book, although it is much more than a mere book.

    NP..give me a day or so to analyze it, and tell me what you think. I'll just send you a PM

    The Bible totally perfect...right?

    I disagree...The Bible can be looked at as both. A textbook, that teaches an individual how to attain salvation, and live a life worth living. Because after all...it is a history book.

    Predestination

    Ohh ok, no, Biblically the word predestination has nothing to do with whether or not we are going to heaven or hell. I do not believe God will damn people to heaven or hell on his choice. Then again, He is God and if he wants, he can. I use the word predestination in reference to those who are...

    Predestination

    Yea, it seems we are on the same page, although I do agree w/predestination. In predestination there still is free will. God has predestined a plan for me, I can still choose whether or not to walk that path. You disagree?

    Why do we need God? (no atheists please)

    Well, to an degree, yes. I agree with the atheist/agostic part. Ex. I have an agnostic friend who holds himself to the same morality values as I. On the other, I know people who consider themselves "Christians" telling me about how they went to some party, got drunk, hooked up with this...

    Predestination

    Ephesians 1:3-5 "Praise 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. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as...

    An opinion on The Book of Revelation.

    Well...after taking an escatology class for 16 weeks I have come to one conclusion...that book is not to be taken literally, and all those metaphors and symbols we have no absolute as to what He was talking about. Only assumptions...It's really too hard to understand

    Predestination

    Well..from a Biblical perspective it's not. Predestination= Proorizo (Gk word) means "to plan a destiny before hand" You can decide whether or not, you choose to walk in the path God has for you. The Bible does not teach double predestination. Unbelievers are “passed over” because of their...
