    Was David wrong?

    David did profess faith in the Lord, ultimately, but he also expressed despair in many chapters of Psalms. Psalm 13 only has 6 verses, but he captures the difficulty we all experience at times. In the end, he trusts on God's mercy.

    Is baptismal regeneration biblical?

    To all participants, this topic tends to get volitile. This discussion started out very well. Kudos to Oz for that. It's started to head south with personal remarks. Please take care not to do that to your brothers and sisters.

    Mothers and Daughters

    Having raised a son and two daughters, I've often wondered how we've come this far. I wonder how enough girls make it into womanhood to carry on the human race. How have relatively few teenage girls lost their minds, run, and keep on running into the wilderness, never to be heard from again. How...

    Mosab Hassan Yousef – the “Green Prince”

    I was listening to an episode of a podcast called "Spycast" which is hosted by a retired CIA operative and all about US intelligence and espionage. Great podcast, BTW. In this episode, he interviewed Mosab Hassan Yousef who was a high ranking Muslim, converted to Christianity over time, and then...

    Salvation for the Dead (A Practical Guide)

    This thread is closed. Please refer to the 10th point in the ToS which is pointing to section 2.2 regarding Catholic discussions. They are permitted only in the 1-on-1 Debates and the End Times forums. While you are there, you might read through the entire ToS which you agreed to abide by when...

    difficulties sharing in other people's joys.

    Oh, my... That changes my prayers. I'm very sorry to hear that you're dealing with something more than infertility, but I'm hopeful in the One we put our hope in. You're a good man with great character. God bless you for shelving the concern you spoke of in the OP for the health of your wife.

    difficulties sharing in other people's joys.

    Anything specific that you care to share that we can pray for? There are countless people who can relate to having difficulty conceiving their first child while seemingly watching everyone around them announce their own good news. My wife and I could. Add to that a miscarriage, and we really...

    Dropping children off at church

    I'd say first and foremost is to honor God with your time, talents and treasure. He knows your heart. After that, it's important that your children know how important the Lord is to you. If they start thinking He takes a back seat to "life", they might be receiving the wrong message. Attending...

    Are we born condemned with Adams sin...or innocent at birth?

    Jeff, I'm just curious about this statement. As you said and we know in Genesis, God created and called His creation good. You note that He didn't call it perfect, but good. From Mark 10:17-18 we see the significance of the word "good" when Jesus says only God is good. With this being true...

    Are we born condemned with Adams sin...or innocent at birth?

    I've removed posts that were personal and not productive in the discussion. This thread is now open. Please focus your posts on the topic; not the member, and don't mock other members by suggesting they can't be serious.

    Guns

    I'll be honest, Allen. I feel like you're either purposely baiting the participants into reacting, or you're being way too sensitive. To dirtfarmer's point, I see respectful disagreement. Are people spewing hate if they don't agree with you?

    Guns

    Allen Wynne you must have realized you were presenting a controversial opinion. Your response to opposing points of view seems a little over the top. You have your opinion about owning a gun. Great. If you're going to take the next step of criticizing gun owners who want to protect their loved...

    OSAS winning Christ? OSNAS just hanging on?

    Chopper, my friend, I'm concerned about this statement, so I'm kindly asking for clarification. What believer escapes the flesh to the point that they can return to sin? To me, that seems to imply that they were at one point free from sin. I can't help but turn to Romans 7:15-20 and take these...

    Justification by Faith

    When you make this reference over and over, it carries with it the connotation that the person you are addressing is trapped in legalism. (you have faith, they have rules) Whether intentional or not, I'll kindly ask you to remove this from your vernacular. You create tension with these words...

    OSAS winning Christ? OSNAS just hanging on?

    This thread desperately needs a reminder that the rules for posting in the Theology Forum prominently includes the requirement to cite scripture when opposing someone's position. Those who neglect this rule consistently will be suspended from this discussion. The Theology Forum is...

    Saved by Grace Through Faith, Not by Works

    This is disingenuous, because there have been countless responses stating that verse 28 cannot be separated from verse 27. You could and should say no one has proven anything else to you, but you cannot make the statement that I quoted above. In general, I see this theme coming too much from...

    Can a Christian be demonic oppressed?

    I don't understand the question. Can a Christian be oppressed by a demon? Controlled? Thanks in advance for clarification.
