    [__ Prayer __] Strength, Love, and Conversation

    What's more yesterday morning He woke me up and gave me the fully realized idea that I needed to open up the devotional on my bedside and read that day's reading. Well praise be to God because the reading was on knowing that even when you are walking with God you will face troubles, but you need...

    A closer look at "baptizo" (to baptize)

    Any chance you could post the 14 passages, divided by upon vs. inside? If you just post the references to them that's all I'd like, no need to go out of your way and actually post the scripture (unless you'd like too), as I can go read it myself. I'm intrigued by the idea of UPON versus...

    NO HELL?

    Sometimes I just don't get you Elijah. A guy comes to your aid and defends your scripturally sound statement and yet you insist on attacking him? Seriously, I question your sanity at times my brother. Of course worms don't live forever, it's a metaphor for eternal damnation. Go open your Bible...

    NO HELL?

    When I hear hell I see a place of pain, torment, fire, emptiness (from God), and eternity. It's interesting that sheol is brought up because sheol (or hades in greek, as they mean the same thing, which is a place for the dead to go) is very much real. It's a place of rest for all souls. For...

    Coveting

    Though I feel you Dark, and appreciate the message, I gotta wonder, what country are you looking at? Because when I look at the country I live in I see a sea of coveting. Every advertisement on TV seems to beckon for you to covet. 'GET GOLD!' 'Own this wicked awesome car that you cannot...

    [__ Prayer __] Strength, Love, and Conversation

    And, glory to God, He did talk to me. As clear as day He told me which door to open next in my maze of doors, so that He may enter there and clean it out.

    [__ Prayer __] Strength, Love, and Conversation

    Our Heavenly Father has been some gracious in His blessing of me. Truly I'd say that I am a changed man, now more than ever before in my walk, a walk that I'd now characterize as a "walk towards Christ" as opposed to now which is a "walk with Christ". I have seen the errors of my way, the sinful...

    Do you have to be baptized to achieve salvation?

    Jesus said (and the apostles often confirmed) that salvation come through a very specific and simply way. One has only to accept Jesus Christ. He has only to invite Jesus into his life, into his heart, to pray and ask for the Spirit to indwell. That's it. Nothing else to it. Baptism is the...

    Why the focus on homosexuality?

    I'd say that there is more to it than just politics. It's easier for man to condemn that which he has never done, than to condemn that which he did or stills partakes in. Homosexuality is a sin, no greater and no less than another. It is a unique sin, but it is not greater or no less. It's...

    [_ Old Earth _] EVOLUTION - A BELIEVER'S PERSPECTIVE

    Dunno what that means, but He could have also just said "Let it be so..." :thumbsup One of man's most common faults is assuming God works in any way that is near to our own understanding. We imagine and then can create what we imagine through what we already have to work with. The painter is...

    Except God. That's a much easier and more likely solution to such a question.

    [__ Prayer __] Friends

    I know this is going to sound stupid lame but, I need some friends and I need some help with prayers. I had some very close friends, so close that I pretty much never had a need for others. We did lots of stuff together, every day, it was a great time. But it God laid upon my heart that I cut...

    How Great Is Our God

    Here's a good hymn, nice and up-beat (which is always a plus!). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymrZO1PZbU4

    How Great Is Our God

    Today I went for a hike up a hill, and since I live in southern New England it is called a "mountain" (we don't actually have any real mountains in CT). I felt compelled by God, through the Holy Spirit, to seek Him out in the wilderness and for some reason I decided that this was the place to...

    How Great Is Our God

    He is pretty awesome, huh? Think about this one for a while: Without really knowing specifically how, or even having to train for very long, a person can pick up a baseball bat and hit a baseball. What does that take? I'm not sure about all of it, but here is what I can reason. It takes our...

    Double Prosperity

    I don't wish to engage in this argument, but I do feel that it ought to be pointed out (and it hasn't yet been pointed out) that both "poverty" and "wealth" are standards set by the world. The Bible doesn't say "Ye shalt be in poverty if thou gross incometh is less than $23,000.00" nor does the...

    [ Young Earth ] Noah's Flood

    Awesome! http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/06/dutch-man-builds-full-size-noahs-ark/ They got a video of a guy who built the real deal! I'm trying to find a comparison of what that size looks like and this is what I've got so far. It gets into global warming at the end, so I just...

    Lust and Dating

    Curious, Jesus said in Matthew 5:28, "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." This is a true statement. I am curious, though, how does this pertain to dating? The clear implication in Jesus' words is that looking upon a...
