    Reasons for God's word having free-will verses

    I know my post count may seem to tell otherwise but I have been lurking here for quite a while and it seems all this section end up being full of "predestination vs. free-will" debates. How about we just use the "carpet bomb" approach to evangelizing and let God decide the rest.:thumbsup It...

    WHY IS GOD A WARRIOR AND JESUS A PANSY?

    Would you prefer Jesus to be more like Jeremiah or one of the prophets? Or maybe Elijah, who called fire from heaven? Maybe more like John the Baptist? Someone strong and bold? Mat 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that...

    Supporting Our Churchs

    I haven't had a chance to read through the entire thread but I wanted to give my opinion. I am an Associate Pastor of a church. Our church receives tithes and offerings at every service and I personally see it as simply another form of worship, the giving of part of myself to God. No one at out...

    It's all about love?

    Sadly many people who know John 3:16 by heart would be surprised to read the rest of that chapter, especially when it gets to the part about "those that believe not are condemned". :shrug People want to talk about love but they don't want to actually love each other. Jesus said "If you love...

    Singled out in Bible study for disability?

    I have mentioned during sermons before about people mooching off of the government and how "if a man shall not work he shall not eat". However, I would always preface that with the disclaimer that if a person is unable to work or was looking for work and not finding it, it was a different...

    Blood covenant marriage

    The first type was the basis for Biblical marriage in the past. I remember in the Old Testament the act of intercourse WAS the wedding pretty much. Once you "did it" you were married. The second type- this is the first time I have heard of it and honestly, I don't know what to think.

    I need help....I am lost and my life is in ruin

    You talk about your dislike for "mainstream Christianity" and I can understand your viewpoint. However, you have a copy of the Bible (if not the Gideons will give you one free) and the ability to talk to God personally. That is really all that is required. So study the Word, follow the...

    Praise and Worship

    Here is my opinion as a Pastor Jethor pretty much nailed it. Or as some of our kids call it "the first part of the service with singing and music". lol

    How to ask my pastor?

    Most churches I have been to have the financial report open for any member to view, and some even give a copy of the report out at church meetings. If you don't want to ask just check the church bulletin board, there may be a specific person to talk to. A side note, in the U.S. when you give...

    Where Is Steve Jobs Now?

    This! His lifestyle and personality during his life mean nothing. What matters is where his heart was when he took his last breath. Was he in a relationship with Jesus then or not? We don't know, therefore we don't know where he is now.
