    Nominal Christians

    It's not the church's responsibility to pass judgements on who is, or is not, going to be saved. Salvation belongs to God and God alone, not us and our opinions.

    Cricket

    Yeah on our day we can be pretty devastating! But we aren't the most consistent. For example, Brendon McCullum scored the second ever T20I century in that 2nd match but you could probably put money on him not performing in the next match. Have you had any experience of fantasy cricket? Haven't...

    We need all the help we can get quite frankly. It's just embarrassing when we play over there.

    Blimmin biased media! I predict a 3-2 result to the Australians.

    Haha, that was from the second one which we won thank you very much!!!. McCullum got himself a nice T20I century - the second ever!

    Cricket

    I'm a massive cricket fan! I've supported the Black Caps during the past 5 years so that gives you some idea of how committed i am! Yeah we're playing you guys now, how about that last T20I eh?! What a finish. What's your prediction for the ODI series? Apart from a 5-0 whitewash of course.

    Is it true?

    Me and you both? I liken playing poker to the people who work the sharemarkets. Both are a form of gambling. You make educated gambles based on trends - the ones who are good at what they do can predict a general upward trend of profit. The thing is, one is respected and the other not. Shame.

    Yeah, technology and eschatology...

    The Shack

    Firstly, it isn't a theology text book - it never pretends to be. What you find within the covers is fiction, thus it should not be interpreted literally. The author is a very orthodox Christian man who does not think that his representation of God in the book is reality. The book forces us to...

    Fantasy

    I understand we have a Christian fantasy topic already but i wanted to broaden the scope to include all types of fantasy. Who enjoys fantasy? I find fantasy very hit and miss. There is a lot of fantasy out there that is simply just pulp, indulgent, fiction - not at all representative of good...

    Any Great Science Fiction Books?

    Asimov writes some fantastic science fiction to be sure. Another very enjoyable read is Orson Scott Card and the 'Ender's Game' series - fantastic reading.

    Twilight

    Anne Rice who was pretty much the mother of vampire novels rediscovered her Catholic faith a while back. Subsequently she has written a trilogy of fictional books of Jesus' life - excellent read. She's also exploring the idea of writing Christian vampire novels.

    what makes australia great

    Yeah rabbits and hares are pretty overrepresented in NZ! We hold a yearly event down south in Tarras called "the Easter Bunny Hunt". Every year at Easter a bunch of keen people head down to the farms down there and try and bag as many of them as they can. As you drive along the paddocks up to...

    what makes australia great

    Australia would be greater if you came and took all your possums back! We're getting sick and tired of having to go out and shoot them all the time!

    Is it true?

    Also, appealing to a few choice proof texts to support your position doesn't veto the discussion. What were the verses you found to be referring to gambling anyway?

    Is it true?

    Classic. To be fair though, it is your interpretation of the Bible. We all interpret, don't be embarrassed, it's a necessary part of being encultured people - we always perceive things through the lens of our culture.

    And you're entitled to your opinion.

    What kind of Bible do you use?"

    To be fair we don't actually have the original greek or hebrew texts. What we have are scribal copies that are as accurate as we could possibly be...and even then we don't have all the texts, bits have to be pieced together and other bits estimated (given the logic of the writing, style, etc)...

    Is it true?

    Erm. I play poker, i used to play at FullTilt. Neither of them are rigged. Pojer, while having the form of gambling, has little of its substance (like what i did there goju?). It is a game of skill, strategy and psychology. You have to know when to make the right moves. Beginning players may...
