    Fellowship with those who deviate from orthodoxy?

    This last statement is very interesting. I once heard someone make a very similar statement, but he was an unbeliever. Don't get me wrong -- I'm not trying to imply that you are an unbeliever; this is no "guilt by association" argument. :) Anyway, it was at a discussion group recently, a group...

    Fellowship with those who deviate from orthodoxy?

    Well said, Sothenes. What I hear so often from professing believers is this all-pervasive postmodern idea that truth should take a second place to experience, feelings, sentiment, togetherness, etc. It has crept into the church to an alarming degree; it is difficult to go to a church nowadays...

    Fellowship with those who deviate from orthodoxy?

    I've only been to the house church once, but the one time I went it didn't seem like those who seemed to hold to the aberrant teaching were going out of their way to influence others, but influence can take place subtly. At any rate, they were not actively teaching others the details of Oneness...

    Fellowship with those who deviate from orthodoxy?

    One thing I should add to what I said above: I have no desire to debate the doctrine of the Trinity. What I am really looking for is advice and insights from Christians who believe in the Trinity regarding what they'd do in my situation. Thanks.

    Fellowship with those who deviate from orthodoxy?

    Hello all, I'm posting this question on this forum because it has to do with orthodox/unorthodox doctrine and how we interact with those who deviate from orthodoxy. I have recently discovered a house church in my town. I was very excited and happy to make this discovery because I have a...

    Trying to form evangelistic group in Northern Virginia

    Hello all, I've had thoughts for a long time to form some kind of evangelism group/club/gathering that would focus on praying for the lost and reaching out to the lost with the gospel message in the northern Virginia/DC Metro area. If anyone has had a heart for evangelism but has not had...

    It is impossible....to renew them again

    Couldn't you have brought up a more difficult text to discuss? ;-) Seriously, the Hebrews 6 warning against apostasy is one of the most difficult passages in all of Scripture. Various interpretations have come up over the years, but I think they can be summed up in the two following positions...

    Attention Northern Virginians: Yahoo group

    Hey all, I asked the moderator for permission to post this, but so far I have received no response. So I decided to take a chance and go ahead and make this announcement. Moderators, if this is too forward or presumptuous, I apologize in advance. :) *edited out solicitation* Jeremy, I...

    I am starting to REALLY like the Catholics (OC plz read)

    I don't know, James. Based on your response, I suspect you're still in denial, so I'll think about it.

    I am starting to REALLY like the Catholics (OC plz read)

    Then let's open the Bible together and explore this issue to see just exactly what is the heresy and what is not, shall we? And, btw, I did detect a bit of snip in your post that really cannot be explained merely by the fact that you hate heresy. I'm willing to explore this issue with you, but...

    I am starting to REALLY like the Catholics (OC plz read)

    Orthodox Christian, I'm sure you have some strong points to make, but I really see no point in discussing this with you unless you come to grips with the reasons why you responded the way you have. Obviously from your choice of words and your tone, what I have said rubs you the wrong way. What...

    I am starting to REALLY like the Catholics (OC plz read)

    What I was responding to was the truth behind CJ's criticism, i.e., there are people out there who hold to the view I mentioned. Whether you actually hold that view is really irrelevant. They may make people more receptive to YOU, but they won't make people any more receptive to GOD or the...

    I am starting to REALLY like the Catholics (OC plz read)

    It truly stretches the imagination, doesn't it? Not to mention it actually is nothing more than a display of human arrogance over the Creator. I mean, think of it: the sheer power of mere mortals to take that depraved human heart and work in it the mighty miracle required to transform it into...

    Lord of the Rings

    What makes the Tolkien estate the authority on this matter? As someone who has played D&D in its various versions (1st edition, 2nd edition, up to the current 3.5 edition) as well as other roleplaying games, I can tell you some differences. For one thing, the setting is vastly different...

    They've got kids...

    I would definitely have reservations about it, for two main reasons: 1) The kids would have a second father who would be competing for the place of the real father; and 2) There might be hostility, tension, etc., between the real father and me. Personally I think it would have potentially...
