It seems to me from some of your posts that you are confused about our belief in the Triune God(aka: the Trinity or "three in one"). I won't lie to you, most Christians are confused by this and there are no analogies to describe it. I'll leave you with the two best explanations I've ever seen...

I just saw your post Mike, my translation phrases one important passage you used very differently and if you look at the punctuation in your translation you can see it implies the same thing mine does. "And since he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, “Let the will of the Lord be...

Well put. I'd add to what Deborah said that Paul's imprisonment in Acts 20 onwards is what sets off his being kicked around like a hacky sack to all the authorities in the Roman Empire, and was the reason he stood before Emperor Nero and confessed the gospel in front of him. These verses also...

I use Open Office quite often, seems to me you're having issues with the font size or maybe the font itself? I don't know but I'll take a crack at it anyway. I use a Mac so it will look a little different from what yours looks like In this picture I circled the area where you change the font...

I will as soon as I hear something. Thank you all for your prayers, and please remember his family and the town in your prayers as well, it's a close knit community.

From this and the rest of the post I can say I agree with you, I just needed some clarification on a couple things and you have provided that. I'll agree sorrow should not be named among us and we should be insulted when it is, so insulted that we feel the need to comfort the person feeling that...

I recently found out that a teenage member of my church crashed his ATV on the 4th, he was very badly hurt and was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Des Moines, we normally take people to our small county hospital except in instances of extreme trauma. I haven't heard how bad the crash was or...

Could you find some supporting scripture for Paul's imprisonment being his fault? Seems to me from Acts 16 that God was using Paul to spread the Gospel to the inmates and prison guards there. On the contrary: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." - Matthew 5:4 ESV I'm not...

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." - Psalm 23:4 ESV Something I find significant about this passage is the phrase "walk", notice he is walking through the valley, not running...

I think one of the guys that runs Christian Memes on Facebook started that site.

I'd go to the smoking church, mostly because I currently go to the smoking church. We don't have a lot of smokers but our children also are not required to have chaperone, we are however in a town of 600 so no one is really concerned about kidnappings around here and we trust the children to be...

Spam was the OP, so therefore we're not necessarily off topic... :biggrin2

(Edited: Response to a deleted post. Obadiah) "And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” He said...

It is clear from the Bible that we do nothing to achieve our Salvation because you can't earn a gift. "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23 ESV It is also clear that we have the will to choose what we want...

My apologies to Obadiah, I kind of glazed over that part when reading the A&T guidelines. Here's my scripture with an explanation this time: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with...

ALL THIS FOR A POPTART!?!?!?!?!? This begs the question, what would the parents do for a klondike bar?

If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?

(Post removed. A&T guidelines state: "Subsequent responses either opposing or adding additional information should include references to specific supportive scripture relevant to the thread and offer explanation of the member's understanding of how that scripture applies." Obadiah.)

My view of us all being hypocrites is not at odds with yours. In fact what you have written is exactly where these conversations should lead when one accuses a Christian of being a hypocrite, it's an opportunity to explain what a great thing God has done for us! I couldn't have said it better...
