    Brainwashing

    What you say might be true for_his_glory. But I know there's more to it then just this. The hatred within Islam does not unite it. Instead what we see is fractions within the religion, and warring between it's leaders and the people. Human nature when it gets involved with power is a...

    Brainwashing

    I can't argue with those. I don't know enough about Islam to know if there is anything in it to defend against ISIS like mentalities, radicalization, and suicide bombing. I know the dynamic within Christianity is not to kill nonbelievers and atheists, so there is a dynamic of doubt and facing...

    Brainwashing

    That's just kids being young and dumb. More often they don't know their left from their right. That's how we all were when we were young. Though I remember the issues were more about finding a girlfriend and putting more importance on that then there should have been. Instead of trying to...

    Brainwashing

    Let me put it another way, and put the issue of brainwashing to bed. A few years back there was an anti-Christian philosophy that tried to link teaching your kids based on your faith to the same level as child abuse. Why you ask?! (You should ask anyways). Because people say that religion is...

    Brainwashing

    Christ_empowered, for_his_glory, and humble soul. All three of you believe that parts of Christianity and politics has people brainwashed? People get duped, tricked, and conned. Sometimes we get swayed away in a social hype of some philosophy or some cause. But more often I think people are...

    Stoned to death

    There are a lot of reasons why people leave eachother. Adultery is just one of the many. Some of those things people work through them and their marriage is stronger from it. Others, well sometimes it's one or three big reasons that tear people apart and one or both of the people are...

    We can start a fresh one on any other book. We can do it on Mathew too, but I just figured that that thread would have more in it then I could offer.

    Brainwashing

    There was a study on Mathew a while ago. Lots of posts, and I'm sure it tangented a few times, but a lot of good info too. https://christianforums.net/Fellowship/index.php?threads/welcome-to-an-in-depth-study-of-matthews-gospel.55689/

    Brainwashing

    It doesn't sound like factual history is what your interested in. Just from what you've written so far it sounds like you want a theological foundation more then a foundation on what is factual and reliable. Just be careful with that. There's a lot of bias in theology. Makes the topic of...

    Brainwashing

    What books have you not censored out of reading. Not that I agree with your position, but if we start with something as a foundation then we can discuss that more and move on to the other books that you consider suspect. I warn you though. The love of God and the judgment of God is...

    Brainwashing

    The Parable of the sower is something to consider when it comes to relying on the Bible (or any message from God) and how people can lose they way from believing it, trusting it, or following it. Something to consider. You can find this parable in Mathew 13:1-23, Mark 4:1-20, and Luke 8:4-15...

    Brainwashing

    Learning from the bible is more important then accepting it as historically reliable. I agree with you there. However, when it gets to the point of descerning if one thing is reliable or if it should be ignored, that's the point when you have to really consider how much you trust and rely on...

    Brainwashing

    As long as you believe in what Jesus did, and have faith in Him, then everything else we don't understand, or don't agree with still has time to get settled and streightened out. As I've heard some say, God's not done with us yet. One day you might have to face the book of Exodus in a...

    Teen that needs "dating" advice.

    Also pay attention to the relationships around you. Not just for wanting to have a girlfriend, but also to learn from the missteps everyone usually takes when they date. I've learned a lot from some of my friend's relationships. Unfortunately most of those things I was also learning the hard...

    Teen that needs "dating" advice.

    Love can be pretty blinding, expecially when you're in highschool. Just speaking from my own observations and experiences back then, a slow approach to a dating relationship will help with being more mature when you do date, and not make as many mistakes and heartaches. As for her parents, let...

    Stoned to death

    Jesus came down not to condemn the world but to save it. In the same way, if we are to walk in the same manner as Jesus did, then we have to offer the same kind of grace. I think this is adding to that. Save a person from their own sins; conquering evil by doing good. Regarding divorce...

    Stoned to death

    To the mother goat, the other goat being cooked is it's child. Though all of the animals that God gave Israel as food instead of saying they are unclean, so even though people took livestock and some of them for food, I think God was still making a point to not add to this by cooking a goat in...

    Stoned to death

    As for that specific law itself. When I read it, it makes sense to me to not be cruel and cook a child in the milk of it's mother. There were a few laws that were given that are about how to be towards the animals and the land, instead of how to behave towards other people. I think is one of...

    Stoned to death

    Jesus spoke about the Laws in the Sermon on the Mount. (I think it was in that sermon). Saying that no word in the law will go away until it is completed. Then Jesus continues on to say that anyone who follows the laws and teaches others to follow them will be the greatest in in Kingdom of...

    Stoned to death

    There is an extreme approach in the Laws of God. In fact in both dishing out grace, and dishing out judgment there is extreme. In the Old Testiment I never found any newer books and newer prophets correct the older laws or the older stories. In fact more often then not they build off of them...
