    Admitting We Don't Know

    Why is it so hard to admit what we don't know or don't fully understand? One thing that has troubled me lately in my Christian walk is the level of dogmatism that so pervades the brotherhood. We are dogmatic about so many things that we honestly cannot say with certainty is God's ways and we...

    The fate of the unsaved

    Have you guys considered what implications on the afterlife (if you want to call it that) the 21st and 22nd chapters of Revelation may have? Is it not possible that these and perhaps other texts show us that in the resurrection there will be Kingdom citizens that get to abide with Jesus in the...

    Sabbath is Saturday - Lord's Day is Future. < PERIOD

    If we take off the glasses of modern tradition and current societial perception and look at what is written in the scriptures, it does seem pretty clear that Sabbath was the 7th day and according to how they kept time in the OT, it seems to have began at sunset Friday and lasted until sunset...

    Right & Wrong

    But what is sin aside from missing the mark set by God, (the ultimate authority), for us? The Biblical terms for sin that have been translated from Greek and Hebrew literally refer to missing a target. Have you considered the reasons why God's ways are right? Are they right because they are...

    Right & Wrong

    Scripture tells us what charactor traits God chooses to exhibit. It does not even remotely uncover the nature of God. Love for example is something the scriptures say God is. When we read the scripture we can see that though love is a charactor trait God can exhibit far better than could we, He...

    Right & Wrong

    I must disagree with your assertion about the Biblical position on God's nature. We are told very little about the specifics of what God's nature is. All we know is that He is our Sovereign God that He loves us and expects obedience to His commands. We have no way of knowing what it means to be...

    How can a Church attract attendees?

    SO true. If we do our best to teach the truth and live in accordance with God's will, He will give the increase. Our concern should not be on growth but on doing the will of the Father. If He wants growth to occur He is more than capable of taking care of that!

    The fate of the unsaved

    If as you have illustrated in many other posts I have had the pleasure of reading that the wages of sin is in fact death with it being the cessation of life and consciousness and salvation involves being SAVED from the death sentence; it is possible that the answer can be universal salvation...

    Right & Wrong

    I must say that in my short time on this forum, you guys, my fellow posters, have really made me think more, study harder, and spend more time connecting with my Lord. Because of that I feel I am growing and for that I am truly thankful. To the topic at hand....... In another thread the...

    Evolution Is Religion--Not Science

    I used to feel much the same until it was brought to my attention that the study of evolution has helped lead to various medical discoveries that has make our lives better by reducing disease mortality rates, etc.

    Evolution Is Religion--Not Science

    Though I will 2nd and 3rd the position that Christianity is the best position to hold, in honesty, I cannot concur with your conclusion that if evolution was a fact, then right and wrong could not have a basis for existence. The case can be made that ethics and morality are both byproducts of...

    Who can answer this?

    Excuse me, huh? I am having trouble following how you arrived at this conclusion. I'd never, nor did I ever say anything that is remotely that disrespectful to God or His Word. In response to the first post, all I was saying was that it would be a good idea to answer the potential question of...

    Who can answer this?

    Let me start by saying that I think Claudia's reply is brilliant and she come across as a person that would bring a great deal of value to any study group. A way this could be approached would be to address the "you ought to be good" by asking the question of why is that the case? Does being...

    Why Hell?

    What scripture backs this view that is in bold? It seems to me you are making an assertion that is foreign to what can be found in any scripture. Logically, your conclusion has issues because in the same sentence where you say the lake of fire is a destroyer that brings death and hades to an end...

    Why Hell?

    If death is annihilated in the lake of fire, then why not consider that everything else thrown in that lake would not also be annihilated? The lake is called the 2nd death, so even with you saying the 1st death is no more, there is this this 2nd death that admittedly involves an...

    Why Hell?

    Would you mind elaborating on the part in bold?

    Why Hell?

    I hadn't thought about questioning the soul. The thought I had in mind was that at death, the soul goes to a intermediary place where it awaits judgment and the bodily resurrection spoken of in scripture. The Luke 16 passage uses an allegory that illustrates the idea I speak of where souls go to...

    Why Hell?

    I'm sorry Jason but I don't understand what you mean here.
