    UMC and homosexuality

    Maybe one of my most favorite passages of scripture... Romans 1:17 through 32 (emphasis added by me): For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed...

    What We Eat

    That's my same issue. Trying to work it through. The Temple was unclean when a pig was sacrificed at it and we are temples of God because the Holy Spirit dwells within us. Touch question, and it's extra tough because it is a matter of both enjoyment for pork and also culture and history...

    What We Eat

    I found the article below and they make some very good arguments. Anyone care to take a gander and give input? I expect most of the input will be against the article, but that's ok because I want to see this opposing view, since I really do find these arguments they make very compelling. This...

    Are denominations hinted at in the scripture?

    Nope was not aware of that at all. I just figured they were all good ;) Gonna have to explain that one. I'm not sure what you are saying or how I apparently said that one at all! This to me is like 1+2=23

    What We Eat

    So I have decided that I should search the scriptures for myself and, with God's help, come to a conclusion as to what I ought and what I ought not do. I think that this is a better solution then trying to conform to what man tells me the Bible says. I honestly feel that I have been instructed...

    Are denominations hinted at in the scripture?

    Yeah, gotta agree with Sin here. What about the woman who went to the well to fetch water? Jesus said to her that she ought to drink of His water, for if she does she will never thirst again. And she did this, but she was not a Jew, she was a gentile. Remember? She even said something to the...

    Defending Lust

    It's simple, ain't it? It's the same reason people turn to anything in lust. Drinking from the water of the world and not the water of God, like that parable says. People who are in the sin of lust do so because they need to fill themselves, just as everyone does, and they are trying to fill...

    Are denominations hinted at in the scripture?

    Yeah, but that's because He knew everything and really knew that pants are one of the most awful torture devices ever made! :toofunny But seriously, I think it's a pretty important distinction you made there Sin. There is a H-U-G-E difference between "doctrine" and "Gospel". Very important...

    "World's Ugliest Woman"

    Thank you for that, Jethro. Lovely little sharing! And thanks for the share, also, Reba. I am curious as to the disease she has, since it is apparently ridiculously rare. And I see she had a ring on her left hand, think that's just for bling or is she engaged/married? That's something I'd...

    Let's pretend for a second that I don't understand the reference here... :confused:

    Cinco de "Mayo"

    It's a good thing that Cinco de Mayo has nothing to do with that any more and in America it is a celebration of Mexican heritage... And all I had to do was read the first three lines of Wikipedia! :thumbsup

    Work AND School

    Around here, Nick, you can live off campus if you want (and if your school allows it. Most require at least Freshman to live on campus), but most people live on campus as the cost is usually factored into your school cost. And the government will give you a loan based on your family's income...

    Cinco de "Mayo"

    Don't tell me you like that "Miracle Whip" garbage! Please say it ain't so, I thought to well of you and I'd hate to have to rethink my opinion of you :lol I could got for a mayo sandwich right now...

    Another thread on homosexuality

    Considering that most states and countires don't have gay marriages he's kind of right....

    Work AND School

    This last semester I've been doing 30+ hour weeks at work, 10+ hour weeks at my internship (work without pay!!!), and then my 15 in school hours a week for class. So that's roughly 55 hours a week, not counting studying and stuff. It's a little tough but I have been managing. My grades are not...

    Are denominations hinted at in the scripture?

    Not specifically, mind you, but bear with me for just a moment. First, I am not saying that they are. This is a question and I am seeking the wisdom of others in this matter. I was thinking while I was mowing that maybe denominations existed even at the time of Paul. Here's why... Paul...

    Mission v. Commission

    :thumbsup 1 Corinthians 12:27-31: Now you are Christ’s body, and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. All are not apostles, are...

    Mission v. Commission

    Mission - Commission - When you hear the phrase "The Great Commission" you often think of the red highlighted scripture above. But this is not our commission. That is our mission. Our mission is to make disciples of the entire world. Our commission is the power we are granted through Christ...

    Are they out there?

    Thank you Tim! Glad I'm not alone in that opinion. Even my church friends think I'm bonkers for that
