    Infant baptism is a huge error!

    Why was Jesus baptized? Was he repenting or accepting himself? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

    It isn't Islamophobia when they really are trying to kill you!

    That maybe old news, but the interaction of the so called Christian states with the Arab/Ottoman/Muslim world from the 17th century to the 21st century are a major reason for the current clash. Generations of radical Muslims have been taught to hate the West. It will take generations for this to...

    It isn't Islamophobia when they really are trying to kill you!

    I think we minimize the anti-Christ applying the title to everything. Jesus did not sit with Matthew and the other sinners and accuse them of being anti-Christ. He engaged them and turned some of their hearts. Us acting in ignorance does more for the mission of the anti-Christ than anything...

    It isn't Islamophobia when they really are trying to kill you!

    Thank you, By Grace. You responded more eloquently than I could've. Tessi, knowing the past will help deal with the present. We are not going to kill every single Muslim. That is not an option and not the way of Jesus. So, some type of settlement will need to be made. Knowledge of the past will...

    It isn't Islamophobia when they really are trying to kill you!

    I agree that presently the Islamic world is at violent conflict with the West. Just a casual brushing up of Ottoman Empire & Middle East history from the 17th century to the present will show that the Great Powers (England, France, United States, et al.) had a great hand in creating the...

    As Christians, we should love all nonbelievers and pray for them. Jesus engaged the sinners, not the saved. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    Bible Study hate and Luke 14:26

    26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, pyes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. (ESV). On its own, it appears that "hate" seems to go against everything we are taught as Christians, esp. to hate our...

    Signs of the Lord's Return... for futurist discussion

    You are correct. My view is that we will never know when and that Christians have been seeing the signs since the 1st century. I find it to be a distraction, since trying to be the Christian God wants me to be now will prepare me for whenever the end times occur. It is a good discussion...

    Are You Able to Disprove this Evidence for When Jesus Said He Would Return?

    Belief in Rapture or Tribulation?

    I believe Christians think to much about this topic and allow it to cause animosity towards fellow Christians. What is important is to live according to God's will. The scriptures give us what we need. We shouldn't worry about the end times when living as a Christian now in the world is a tough...

    The Devils Advocate

    I think it is because they are raised in the Christian tradition. They rebel against what they know. There is hope for some of these rockers. Dave Mustaine of Megadeth chose to bring Christ in to his life several years ago. At concerts, he refuses to sing certain songs he wrote, such as "The...

    Bible Study Explain Acts 12:23

    Riverwolf, I think that what Josephus wrote and what the Bible states jive together. In the rest of the Ch 6 (Antiquity of the Jews), Herod is stricken with a disease for a while and it is attributed to a punishment from his God. In Acts it stated "23 Immediately, because Herod did not give...

    Bible Study Explain Acts 12:23

    Herod was sitting on his throne and allowed the people to honor him as a god. The previous verse (22) reveals the praise that Herod accepted, "The people kept crying out, "The voice of a god and not of a man!" (NASB). God saw this impious act and swiftly punished him. Josephus also lends his...
