Exactly! Beautifully articulated, Nick! This is what I wish more Christians would understand. We need to "speak the truth in love".....not just "speak the truth". Too many are forgetting the "love" part. Jesus didn't put a bullhorn in people's faces and angrily shout at them. He befriended them...

That's great! Since you used to be one of them yourself, you've got a great opportunity to show the LGBTs who sincerely want to turn from their sin.....that it CAN be done with Jesus' power. With us straight people, it's all just talk to them. But you are a powerful living example that they...

Thanks! And congrats on your recent baptism. Welcome to the family! Thanks; I'm sure it would mean a lot to the writer, and to his gay friend, that someone whose forum name is "Leviticus 18:22" has read the article, and "gets it".

You're right. He did. And he didn't make friends with everyone. He had very harsh words for the self-righteous, sanctimonious, hypocritical religious leaders of the day. And he lost it on those moneychangers who were turning his dad's house into a den of theives. But I still haven't located that...

This article is a real eye-opener. We need to love gay people, and it's not that we don't love them; it's just that they're not feeling that love. The problem with a lot of our fellow Christians is that they keep "putting the cart before the horse"; they seem to want to rebuke the LGBTs for...

This was a great article, and can serve as a wake-up call for a lot of Christians. The guy who wrote this isn't a religious man himself, but he definitely sees the difference between how a lot of Christians act toward gay people.....and how Jesus would act toward them. The article is 3 pages...

He is, of course, both. First, about the wrathfulness.....God's wrath in the OT is an inevitable result of his children constantly trying his patience by rebelling against him over and over, and over, and over, and over.....and in the NT, Jesus showed a little wrath himself, when he put a...

Has anyone here told this joke yet? If so, my apologies for the repetition. It's about some scientists who told God that they have made some major scientific breakthroughs which, they believe, enable them to create life out of dust.....just like God! They make a million-dollar bet with God as to...

Thanks to everyone for the warm reception. I'll probably be hanging around the apologetics section for the most part, but I'll try to contribute in other areas of the forum as well. See you all around the forum! :thumbsup

"Feeding" on the Word....I like that analogy; that's exactly what we're doing! Thanks, and blessings right back at ya!

Well, despite the lack of secular documentation for the resurrection, there are credible historical accounts other than just Matthew, attesting to Jesus' resurrection.... by honest, trustworthy sources (some of whom were eyewitnesses) such as Mark, Luke, John, and Paul. I guess what's really...

This is probably in the realm of apologetics, since this argument was presented to me by an atheist friend, and I was wondering how to best answer him on this. In Matthew 27:51-54, Matthew makes a rather interesting addition to the account of Jesus' death on the cross. At that moment the...

Thanks for the warm welcome, and I'm very glad that God waited around that long for me! I just posted my story in Testimonies, if anyone wants to check it out. See ya in other threads! :salute

Hi! I'm Josh. I introduced myself on the new member forum, and Mike thought it would be a good idea if I post my testimony on this one. So here goes.....up until a little over a year ago, I was an agnostic. Very skeptical of Christianity, and not at all happy with organized religion in general...

Hi everyone! I'm Josh. I'm 34 years old, living just outside of Oklahoma City with my beautiful wife and three teenage stepkids. I was saved and baptized on November 28, 2010. I used to be a very skeptical agnostic-leaning-toward-atheism, and then a bunch of things happened in 2010 that caused...
