    Does Anyone Else Not Attend Regular Church Services?

    That would depend very much on the church. Especially on how open the church is to listening... Some are, some are not. For a while, I was involved in the two extremes of the Lutheran Church. The Evangelical Lutheran Church believe they are the ones who truly show God's love because they now...

    I can understand the crying and frightened children! She looks like she's signaling to someone. Or semaphoring. Except she doesn't have flags... She needs flags.

    article of the day: Christianophobia

    Weighing in with another observation I've made over the past few years that fits in with this subject: Whenever ISIS or the Taliban or extremists in any other religion commits some atrocity, many people will either a: be quick to point out that Christians commit plenty of atrocities as well...

    Does Anyone Else Not Attend Regular Church Services?

    We left organized church several years ago. Partly because solid, biblically based churches are few and far between around here and partly because Steve's hours... Sunday being the only day we generally have to be together as a family. (I should explain that he often leaves home on Monday and is...

    article of the day: Christianophobia

    Great article... Thanks for sharing. One quote from the article "Those with Christianophobia tend to deny they are intolerant..." So true, so very true. I had signed up on a forum basically for moms and basically to share/discuss/get encouragement in homeschooling the kids but also to just chit...

    I have a happy update to this and it now all makes sense! The reason why the pastor is asking them to separate one week before the wedding is because.... They are both going to be baptized the Sunday before their wedding! :sohappy The pastor doesn't want them to be baptized and then go right...

    Are you good or bad?

    A bit of free wheeling paraphrasing from Romans 7 here.... I sin, even though I don't want to and when I do I hate the action. Because I hate the action, I'm in agreement with God, so although I have the will to be good, I do bad because of the sin in me. I have the desire to do what is good...

    Bible Study Did Eve Command Adam To Sin?

    And herein lies the problem with the theory... It directly contradicts Scripture. Adam was not deceived in his temptation. He fully knew what he was doing. There was no "innocence" in his sin. Keep in mind that God did not give the commandment to Eve, but to Adam. And, when Adam gave the...

    lol... Well, Rollo, first off, I'll have to find which of you men who are willing to step into the teaching and authoritative roles within the church because I'm a 1 Timothy 2:12 kind of woman! But, I do like the big salary... :shades

    Bible Study should women wear head covering and men wear beards ? proof?

    The point about the sacrifices being symbols of Christ is a really good one and you're right, they would not have done well to have stopped them until Christ fulfilled their purpose. However, I think we might be comparing apples to oranges here... both fruit but different types. Whereas both...

    Who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it.

    :) Thanks for answering my questions. I know quite a few folks around here but many are new to me and I do like to get a foundation of where a person might be coming from. It's good to start from places of agreement and I'm in agreement with you on these two things: Christ fulfilled the Law and...

    Bible Study should women wear head covering and men wear beards ? proof?

    I agree with pretty much everything you state here. Obedience is most important. However, should we obey a symbol of the principle or the principle itself. Or both? Or neither? Believe me, as a woman in 21st century America, I get pushed back on all the time about the idea of wives needing to...

    Bible Study should women wear head covering and men wear beards ? proof?

    I think we would both agree that the best primary source to consider would be the scripture itself. :yes Verse 10: For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. Verse 10 is where we get to the crux of the head covering being symbolic... mainly because it is...

    Who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it.

    So, if the Law and the Prophets are fulfilled... do you believe that we are now bound to it?

    Bible Study should women wear head covering and men wear beards ? proof?

    Well, you and I are in much agreement on this, Butch! But, as a woman who reaches out to other women with the gospel, I can assure you that head coverings and wifely submission are huge stumbling blocks. Now, I have studied the issue of head coverings from all kinds of angles for well nigh 40...

    Bible Study should women wear head covering and men wear beards ? proof?

    I honestly believe he does both, Butch. Paul is addressing the issue of whether the Corinth women were at liberty to not have the head uncovered during prayer and worship and his appeal is that the head covering symbolizes an important spiritual truth: That just as man is the head of his wife...

    Bible Study should women wear head covering and men wear beards ? proof?

    It's even less popular in post-Christian European nations... pretty much wherever the society is secular rather than religious. In cultures that are religious and those religions observe the wearing of hair coverings, not just women, but men as well.... it's not really an issue. Basically, the...
