Just curious, i knew some baptists that doesnt allow their men members to have long hairs and for women shouldn't wear pants or short pants. I think manipulating or imposing a dos and donts rule for their members is cultic in nature. I also met other baptists that doesnt have this weird "rule." I...
I hear people talking about it. I see entire books written about. There are huge churches built on it, but what I don't see is where it is written in the Scriptures. When someone starts ranting about man's free will, shouldn't we just simple ask them to show us where those words are spoken...
We have fairly clear instructions about what women may and may not do in an assembly (church), or in relationship to her husband or perhaps men in general. We read, for instance, in 1 Corinthians: and in 1 Timothy: We also read:
Greetings! I am sure that the subject will get some attention. Let me state 'for the record' that I do not believe that Jesus was resurrected in a 'glorified' body. I believe that his body was the same as the one crucified. It had no 'supernatural' powers different than before his death. ...
just read an interesting article and would like feedback on what others think. http://www.christkirk.org/hyperpreterism.shtml
Starfleet transmitting message: I am interested to know who are the non-Christians on 5solas. Please introduce your self. My shields are down and my weapons are not powered up as you can see. I am just looking for new life forms in 5solas space. I need to know if the races in this sector...
Hi Last Sunday, in Church, I listen to a very Challenging sermon, by an NfI leader Ray Lowe. The essence was a question, are our Church and our lives ‘Rich in Mercy’? Some of the following is directly from the sermon; some of it is from me, having time to think. In the book What’s So...
This one is a toughie folks! What is your opinion?
Just curious of everybody's opinions... What, if any, is the difference of the "indwelling" of the Holy Spirit and the "infilling" of the Holy Spirit. When does either/or/both of them occur, and what happens when it does happen?
I have had just about enough of this!!! Those of you who have heard Bill Cosby's routine, "Cosby Himself," may remember these as the nightly words of his wife in response to the children's bickering at bedtime. I'd like to apply her words to the feeling I have often had about the faith/works...
I enjoy hearing John MacArthur and will be going to his conference in March 2oo3 I know that John will be having Eric Alexander and Albert Mohler as guest speakers who hold to the doctrines of grace and covenant theology. I know John holds and teaches the doctrines of grace but has a dispensational...
Why would God undo what He did on the cross? Why would God who made the two one (i.e., Jew and Gentile) and who broke down the barrier of the dividing wall then make a barrier again in the supposed end times tribulation and millennial kingdom? Why would He reinsert another dividing wall and make...
He has made a number of unbiblical doctrines. What do you think of him?
Nay Nay, what curriculum have you been using? Have you been homeschooling since your oldest first became school age? Are you doing this for religious reasons? If so, what kinds of things might you do differently than a public school?
Heisenburg’s Uncertainty Principle is an argument used by skeptics to invalidate the law of non-contradiction. Sub-atomic particles appear to be both a wave and a particle at the same time and this is the basis for quantum physics. Notice I said appears? Instead of looking for real world answers...
I am just wondering... I have seen a lot who are, and many whom I cannot tell yet. I have a lot of reading to do to catch up on many of these threads. But would you say that most people here are 5 point Calvinists? I noticed that the rules include an "Anti-Arminian" clause. Why is this? I...
Well, I just read Romans 13, and I guess it did say that. I must confess something. The computer software I'm using is a pirated copy. But before you all call me a thief, I must tell you that this is pretty common in my country. I've heard that 70% of the software (or was it operational...
Just curious as to what people believe. This is a little poll just for fun.
What do you think about clapping? When you hear a musical performance, do you think it's right to clap? What about in a church setting? Is it ok to clap? Is it glorifying man rather than God? What are your thoughts regarding this topic?
Gen 26:5 because Abraham obeyed Me and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws. Which commandments, statutes, and laws do you think this is?
Here are some quick thoughts concerning what I believe about "Baptism in the Spirit." I don't want to go into great lengths, but it's a position I haven't seen elsewhere (maybe I haven't looked hard enough). First of all, I believe all believers have been baptized in the Spirit: 1 Cor...
Jonathan, The reason I moved this to another thread is because our conversation is going off topic. Your answers are classic answers I've encountered before. In fact your answers indicate to me that there really is no difference between you and an atheist. In fact, I don't think you're sure...
'The Law of First Mention' Has anyone heard of this before? The idea is that, the first time we come across something in the Bible, that it is the inherent meaning for all other occurances. For example, when we read, 'And there was evening and there was morning, one day' (Gen. 1.5b), we should...
This issue touches me and my family deeply, so we have created a website HERE for those who may be dealing with their own concerns over it, as well.
Church tradition has interpreted Jesus' words to Peter about binding and loosing as giving Peter, and thus his successors, the power to define doctrine and decide eternal destinies of individuals by either pardoning or excommunicating them. But is this what the disciples understood as Jesus'...
