    Proof of Islam?

    Cool! Can you describe each faction or type so far as you understand it and where each would fit in? Like, what tree would one like myself be categorized as? Similar to "Am I Slytherin or Gryffindor? Ravenclaw or God-forbid, Hufflepuff"?

    Proof of Islam?

    Bahais think Baha'u'llah is the Messiah, Mahdi, Maitreya? The Messiah is not divine. It is understood he is a man and so doing signs/miracles is not expected. He is known as "The interpreter of the law". The Mahdi is not divine. He is guided. Those who listen to the Word, and follow the best...

    No Jesus? Now What?

    But I also quantified my statement, by saying he 'influenced countries and people.' I beg to differ. There are children in countries all across the world who are heavily influence by the mythical Claus. And I once heard an advertising expert claim that the original Coke ads featuring Santa...

    No Jesus? Now What?

    I have to say, that's good reasoning ...to a point. Santa Claus is apparently based on a real person: "The modern Santa Claus grew out of traditions surrounding the historical Saint Nicholas (a fourth-century Greek bishop and gift-giver of Myra)" -- Wikipedia. But I also quantified my...

    Wrestler Forfeits Chance At State Championship Because Of Girls . . . And Jesus

    But not too much: Leviticus 18:22 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable. Yet there does come a time where women better fit into the picture: when men need to be kowtowed to. Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord...

    Wrestler Forfeits Chance At State Championship Because Of Girls . . . And Jesus

    Genesis 32:24 ESV "And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day." Proverbs 27:17 ESV "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."

    Jesus is not God Almighty Himself

    Deeje are you prepared to challenge a doctrine that you’ve been taught your whole life, and come to the truth for yourself, or are you willing to stick to a particular Bible version for the rest of your life? Iam1me was brave enough to start this thread and question the truth for himself, and if...

    Jesus is not God Almighty Himself

    Of course - our primary goal should be mutual edification and learning. I'll admit that some have said I'm kind of very competitive - so I'll still enjoy my little victories, haha :p Some competition is good and necessary in searching for the truth - you just can't get so competitive that it...

    Daniel and the Lion's Den

    Are we not like daniel at times, knowing our enemies surround us and could devour us at any moment? Yet we exist among them? and do they not serve a purpose in the meantime, keeping us sharp? Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

    The Willful Ignorance of Creationism

    So why are the likes of Shakespeare not ambiguous? Also, if this God is really the supreme being he said he is, couldn't he just issue a revised version in modern language?

    The Willful Ignorance of Creationism

    languages are based on culture. poetry, prose, and song were considered the height of intelligence by some ancient cultures. thus the vedas are imbued with allegory and other ancient works, just as the books of the hebrews. storytelling is considered an art among most indigenous tribes. a good...

    Ask me any bible related question!

    I believe we help them become disciples and become positive encouragement. Jehovah draw people in. We show information they choose to accept god not us and we help each other out. Proverbs 27:17 Hebrews 10:24-25

    I am not wrong

    1 Corinthians 15:33 They all say "bad associations" are people. I am not backing down for the accepting of that. I found some more evidence that it means what a person believes and teaches. A person believes in words. Isn't that so? I found an old version of "associations" that I feel like...

    Discipling Model

    Small groups are good if they are governed all by the same spirit and all satisfy their thirst of the same spiritual rock-mass. The problem is with the flesh creeping in to form renegades. To combat that after it has taken hold is a major problem. These renegades are also driven of a spirit...

    Discipling Model

    I've seen and heard of various models of leadership when it comes to iron sharpening iron Proverbs 27:17 among church members. I've heard of churches with no system of accountability at all, laissez faire where the church members are allowed to sleep with whomever they want and do whatever they...

    Is the holy spirit, God, or something else?

    i believe God had recorded in his word, enough for us in our current limited capacity, to understand much of the "basics" if you like about our awesome father and creator. He has revealed enough about himself for us to be able to form a relationship with him, and to know of all the attributes he...

    Interpretation that does not match

    SW, Matt.10:6-8, Jesus sent out the Disciples and said, "...go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach(teach), saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."...

    Interpretation that does not match

    Yes he said "to teach" but we do not teach "to make" disciples. Please stop embarrassing yourself equating teach to make. oh but it's not embarrassing when everyone else does it! Really? "Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go...

    Atheists: What if?

    It seems to me you know the word well but don't know the Spirit which originated the words. To be settling on the words with the refusal to seek the Spirit of the words makes a person the same as atheist I think.
