Merry Christmas!

As for the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Why was it there at all. There are many verses throughout the bible to turn from evil, and not even tolerate it in your presence. From fleeing from an adulterous woman because she will cause you ruin, to not be with an person with any other number...

I think a possible answer is in the parable of the Wheet and the Tares. (Mathew 13:24-30) In that parable, a man has a field with good seed growing, but an enemy comes and sows weeds in with it. When it's discovered and the servents tell the man, he says "an enemy's done it." This could be...

The universes is our abode, or just Earth? If I remember correctly mankind was created with a task to be responsible for. To look after the Earth. I don't think the rest of the universe is part of that equation, unless it becomes so after we are remade in new heavenly bodies. But the great...

I think this view has already been stated with scriptural suport, but I think we should follow Jesus out of love. On the other hand though, I thing there's more to it then just that. Jesus said once to the crowd following Him "why do you call me 'Lord, Lord' and not do as I say? Luke 6:46...

To Riverun, It looks like you and JohnDB are having a good discussion on this, so I don't want to interrupt it too much. But there's one thing I wanted to share. You asked if some people are incapable of faith, and I don't believe that is the case. There are many ways that I've heard of for...

Welcome to CF.net Berserk. OSAS v.s. OSNAS has a history of having devisive and argumentative discussions on this site. So for the time being that topic has been banned. Outside of that, I'd recommend for you to start a topic on whatever you feel compelled to talk about. If it's of interest...

Putting those into clergy doctrine, then it might support having a selected members of a community act as clergy does today. In that light the meeting from elders in Acts to cover the issue of Gentiles could be similar to the console of Nicia or other consoles held by bishops and elders in the...

I wish we knew more about the Nicolatians, because that group seems to have the least amount said about them. One thing though. In Revelation 2:18-29 the letter to Thyatira mentions both the Nicolatians and the followers of Jezebel. Verse 24 encourages those who haven't fallen for these false...

Hold up a second. There are a few letters I thought that veered into church leadership. Was it 1 Timothy or 2 Timothy that had instructions on how to choose deacons and elders of those churches. Titus too I think. Of the teaching that I can remember I think, it goes on this angle. Find...

To wondering I don't feel comfortable to identify differences between the mind, the spirit, or the soul. For that matter the distinction between the mind and the body are more related to one another then not. But at least we can identify differences between the two even if we can see the...

Hebrews 4:12-13 states: 12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is...

Sorry ya all. I was feeling cheesy and thought I'd share it with more then just my coworkers. Have a good day :wave2

For those who like video games a reality check. Video games are not like buildings.... Making it to the last level, all the way to the top doesn't mean you'll have a boss fight. (Or maybe it does, if it's your boss on the top floor).

If you drink like a fish (talking about alcohol)... Does that mean you breath beer?

If you stare at the sun... Does that mean you look at the bright side of life? (Even risking blindness to do so?)

Does that make you a cannibal? :lol

I like the first few chapters in Revalations. Jesus identifies Himself and with powerful images symbolizing something more, then He dictates letters to the churches. Too often it seems that the churches fit common Christian paths. In this case I think in Revelations 2, the Leters to Ephesus...
