I see why the OP feel that exposing oneself to the perspectives of nonbelievers can be beneficial to not only winning them over but also strengthening and from time to time tweaking one's own faith to better align with truth. I follow Dr. Sean McDowell who I think tries to exemplify this...

Interesting......It seems there may in fact be a distinction. Some, (presumably the number making up the bride) appear to be living in the city while the kings of the earth and citizens of their lands appear to be living outside of the Holy City. Those kings apparently send a tribute of their...

Sounds to me like you're saying that the power doesn't come from God but instead from the PERSON due to the faith they have.

We've basically painted the walls of the room grey in an attempt to have the elephant blend in to the surroundings so we can act as if it isn't there.

Does it really imply that?

This thread was meaty....

I was looking at an old thread and it touched me to want to set up "do good'r" thread where we share good deeds and outcomes as part of an effort to encourage one another as per this thread: https://christianforums.net/threads/love-and-good-works.48898/#post-829644.

This was a thought provoking thread.

Powerful testimony Vaccine. The question of who prayer does more for is definitely one worth contemplating as well.

Based on what I've read and thanks in part to this thread, I'd say they go nowhere. When we die, we are dead, no longer living in any way. The hope of the dead seems to be one thing, a resurrection.

The result of Adam's transgression brought about death for all of Adam's seed. To be saved from the wages of sin, death, and receive the gift of lasting life, one must submit themselves to the rule of King Jesus and be a willing and obedient subject to His reign. Therefore, obedience is required...

3 different alones here, care to pick 1? Dare I say that the POSSIBILITY of salvation from sin and death is attainable only by the grace of God through his Anointed One, Jesus. Grace made it possible, but some doing is required in order to take advantage of what God has made possible thus the...

A non-believer once told me that natural processes have nothing to do with intelligence and that intelligence comes into play when something occurs in the natural world that is contrary to natural processes. The example he gave was walking on the beach with trillions of grains of sand and...

Eyewitness testimony is often unreliable and flawed for various reasons and should not be the be all end all. https://people.howstuffworks.com/eyewitnesses-unreliable.htm Indeed he did, however, human error can compromise who gets convicted so we must not be too hasty.

Interesting topic Jag. I tend to agree with much of what you stated. For me, thee death penalty should be reserved for a very minimal number of scenarios where guilt is unquestionably established and the people guilty is a danger to society if he or she would be allowed to live. I am not a big...

Interesting. Would you mind sharing?

The witnesses were in reference to those in the "Hall of Fame of Faith" mentioned in chapter 11. Chapter 12 begins with the 11th chapter in mind and goes on to encourage the brethren to run their race and exhibit that same type of faith.

I was joking, friend.

This delves into it a bit (Post #4). https://christianforums.net/Fellowship/index.php?threads/lets-talk-about-heaven.32466/post-522012

I also am persuaded that the scriptures are very much in support of much that is termed Preterist; does that make me a bad person too?
