All, On June 14-20, 2012, I will participate in a first-time ever event for Good News Jail & Prison Ministry, a nation-wide motorcycle ride fundraiser and prison evangelism trip. I have been involved with this ministry for the last 4 or 5 years and have seen the positive changes made in...

Potluck, Thanks for the reply. Believe it or not it has actually helped some. I am still going to continue looking into this but you have opened me up to a plausible scenario and thus freed my mind up (if even just a little bit). Unfortunately (or not depending on your views) I have a very...

Josh, Thank you for the reply. I need to read you post a few more times and compare it to what I'm seeing in the gospels. I'm a little thick and slow at times :D This is exactly what I'm trying to do but for whatever reason I have reached a stumbling point. I would agree except this...

I need some help in understanding something. While in Church the pastor was continuing his sermon on the resurrection of Christ from his Easter service. During the sermon he spoke on Luke 24. Being my usual self I also looked at Matthew, Mark and John to try and get a better picture of what...

End Time Prophecies Basically certain events need to happen before Jesus returns. Zechariah 12 2 "I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. 3 On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered...

No not just because he is a Baptist but a Baptist minister. There is a big difference in my opinion. Don't get me wrong I like what he has to say and what he stands for. I even believe he has a good shot at getting the Republican nomination. That being said we have to look at the country as...

While I like what he has to say and what he stands for I don't believe he is electable. Bottom line he is a Baptist minister. There are far to many people out there who will not vote for him solely on that basis alone. This is not to say he couldn't get the Republican vote but if he did I...

bartdanr, Thanks for the testimony. I really just needed to share where I am at this point in my life for 2 reasons: 1) To find out if I’m alone in this. 2) To let others in my position know it is OK and good to share it. All too often it seem as I am the only one going through things...

Actually I have never heard of that before. Here I thought I was being clever only to find out someone came up with it first. :-D This point I'm trying to make is about faith. I agree with you about the detailed portion but disagree that is happened out of chance. From a mathematical stand...

Believe it or not I do know what you mean. I am scientific by nature. I need to understand how and why things work. This makes faith very difficult for me. My wife on the other hand seems to have no problem just going on faith. Let me try and explain why I think it is easier to believe in...

Yes it is a personal question but not one that is private. Please understand everyone’s relationship with God is a personal one, very similar to that of a child and a parent. Lets start with a little history: I grew up in a family very similar to yours. My parents didn't go to Church...

cia11 Just as handy I have a daughter that is still young (11) so I don't have to deal with that at this time. That being said what would I do/ The answer is rather simple. I would love and support her. This doesn't mean I would just accept her decision but would instead discuss it with...

I agree fully but that is where I have the most difficulty. I personally want answers when I want them. Truth be told most people are probably like that. When I don't get them from God in the timeframe I want I well seek out others opinions. Once you start down this path a real problem starts...

All, Sorry for taking so long to get back to this. My life is crazy right now and time is precious. Jeff, Thanks for the reply and testimony. It is always good to examine what we say to others and do our best to make sure our words can't be used to confuse or harm another. The is especially...

Where are you Lord? I’ve been looking for you for some time now. I know I haven’t been as diligent as I should be and I only seem to look for you when I feel I have the time. In the beginning I talked to you quite frequently. I even thought you were talking to me and helping me...

I haven't posted in a quite some time but this subject is somewhat near and dear to me. I agree with Lewis but I believe there is more to it (at least in my case). I am very irregular in attending Church. Sometimes it is because I have limited time and I have to get things done. I'll admit...

Thank you. I understand that my relationship with God is a personal one and he may convict me differently that he does someone else. A good example of this is alcohol. I have been convicted to not drink. This doesn't mean that a Christian shouldn't unless that is how God has convicted them...

Leviticus 19:28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD. Do a search on "tattoo in the Bible" and do some reading. Once you are done pray about it and and make up your mind with Gods guidance. I have my opinion but it...

Thank you for the kind words. Being that you said there is a reason for this topic I was wondering if you would explain it for my edification. Please be straight forward as I don't read between the lines very well. I am truly interested in what you have to say but I personally prefer getting...

For sake of this discussion I would like to change “killed†to crucify because I don’t believe Jesus to be dead. This topic is sad and humorous at the same time. I thought it might be wise to take a good look at what the Bible has to say about this. Matthew 27 15 Now at...
