I am criticized for not responding with greater speed to questions. Wake up and smell the coffee! Remember, there are some people around here who do NOT spend their entire lives on boards like this one. There are some people around here who have a life of doing things quite outside the life...
Some of you on this board are dealing with some serious anger issues.
Anger is clouding your ability to think clearly ----- no scratch that.

Thanks to all who are responding to this "question" of mine about the Trinity.
Net Doc: I agree with you that all is ultimately in the hands of God and that we should not worry about concepts we simply do not understand.
But - as I mentioned in my original post, my concern is about our...
Are those who rail so viciously against organized religion actually worshipers in their own well-organized religion?
They have many gods. The faces of their gods morph into the faces of lawyerly leaders of the ACLU and other such groups, the faces of new-age editorialists at the New York...

This was an honest first century attempt at communism. It failed and that failure had nothing to do with Paul
Communism may flourish for a while as it now does in China; but tremendous control is...
Be careful, No*s. The story about the WMD's is not over, although I am certain you hope to use the issue against Bush forever. Word has it that the most intelligent and well-connected of Saddam's followers are now sitting pretty in Damascus, Syria, along with the $billions that Saddam stole...
I teach a Bible-study class to 6th-8th graders in preparation for their affirmation of their baptism in a ceremony we call Confirmation. I have done this for many years.
I have absolutely NOTHING against the Trinity doctrine because my Lord Jesus is the one who talked about baptizing in the...
No mistake has been made. Freeing people from a despot is not a mistake. Wanting to have people choose their own leaders is not a mistake. Improving the lifestyles and the futures of millions of Iraquis is not a mistake.
Here are the mistakes: Thinking that Iraquis could never be happy...
I do not think that we will "pull away" from traditional medicine - rather, the thinking public HAS ALREADY pulled away.
Here is just one example: There is an ever increasing interest in what is now called food supplements - natural herbal mixtures that have been used for centuries by ancient...
Friends, thank you for responding to this thread that I started on Sept. 18. You make me feel much better than I did several weeks ago.

I have been just told in the "religious debate" section that most people over there are not Christian and really don't care what the Bible says about anything.
I need to know if that is true here as well. Do you who claim to be Christian still heed what has been called the Word of God - or...
A thousand apologies, Pah Paul did not call homosexuality an abomination Leviticus did. (Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13) What St. Paul said was that homosexual activity is shameless. (Romans 1:26-27) I think shameless is very close to Trishtrishs disgusting.
There is an interesting movie out: The Exorcist. It is a prequel to the original Exorcist that came out in 1974 - 30 years ago. Pretty good flick, too, if you like to be scared sometimes!
Anyway, the reason this movie ties in with this thread is that it takes place in Africa at the exact...
Be careful that you understand the two meanings of "judging" as related to the Bible. The first is "judging" as in condemning - and that is God's job, not man's.
The other meaning of "judging" is discerning. Jesus said that we would know a man by his fruits. This is a kind of judging as...
I hate to say this, friends, but this conversation is old and tiresome for me now because it is SSOOOOO predictable. Here is what will happen and has already begun to happen (not necessarily in this order):

Trishtrish - now watch the sparks fly.
You have been criticized for being too judgemental, too unloving, too hateful towards those people who are homosexual. You said that homosexuality was disgusting.
In the Bible, St. Paul called homosexuality an "abomination."
