I see that according to a certain ‘righteousone’ there are four marks of the ‘True Church’. Now I don’t intend this to be a ‘catholic’ debate but I would like to ask what the mark of a True Christian is. Is it one who is deemed to be part of...

I asked this question in another thread and after considering what Vic said about keeping to the OP thought it should have its own thread. I have definite views on the topic but unfortunately cannot spend much time responding to posts at length for a day or so at least. So go for it - and I'll...

I noted a question asked of a forum member - and it it the same question asked of me in times past which I would like to throw open to all in this forum. Now I'm not wanting to debate the trinity, but to establish whether or not we think that our understanding of who Jesus is, is necessary...

I was involved with the FGBMFI a few years ago. Anyone currently involved or know anyone who is? I'd be interested to hear any comments / view-points.

I’ve noticed a couple of threads lately that have indicated folks have changed their minds on what they formerly believed – and I applaud their honesty. It is plain that when we hold to a particular view, we ‘preach’ it as truth. Others of course, sometimes hold...

Love Jesus Hate Church by Steve McCranie I've just picked this book up at the library. Anyone read it, care to comment?

I asked a question in a thread that is now locked regarding the 'fate' of those who through no fault of their own (being too young, physically or mentally incapable etc) have not heard, nor been able to respond to the gospel. Is the wrath of God extended to these (who are born in sin) or...

I have noticed in a number of threads, folks accusing others of either being ‘anti-Christ’ or having the ‘spirit of the anti-Christ’. Now scripture tells us: 1 John 2:22 Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the...

A little while ago the story of Martin Luther’s revelation of the just living by faith grabbed my attention. Thank God that He has chosen to reveal truth to man and even though many may not want to, or should I say - be able to, hear it, God’s purposes will not be thwarted by...

1 Corinthians 15 contains an interesting passage of scripture. I'm particularly interested in verse 27 but I have included the surrounding verses to put it into context. 20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death...

This issue of the Trinity intrigues me. I have made it clear in other places that I am not a learned man. Apart from attending churches and the odd bible study I’ve never formally studied scripture, attended bible college or been subject to any form of doctrinal education. Many...

A Rhyme with Reason I saw it all last week I think – a baby dedication At a church I was invited to, to witness the occasion A happy bunch of souls they seemed all gathered there together “Welcome, it’s good to see you all,†and, “isn’t it lovely...

I’ve noticed in my flicking through pages of scripture, apparent differences in meaning applied to verses when different bible versions are compared. Now I haven’t particularly studied this – it is just something that I have noticed over time. The interesting thing is...

A participant on this forum has made what I perceive to be a very bold claim. I asked him, “Do you say you have the mind of Christ?†His answer, “Do I have the mind of Christ? Yes†Well, there is a reference to having the mind of Christ in 1 Corinthians 2:15-16...
