    Christmas letter from Jesus

    My sister-in-law emailed me this: Dear Children, It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the season. Maybe you've forgotten that I wasn't actually born during this time of the year and that it was some of your predecessors who decided to...

    Just curious as to what everyone's opinion is on this article is. It is from The Restoration Herald, May 2006 issue. It is written by Lowell McCoy. For those of you who may not know, The Restoration Herald is put out by the Christian Restoration Association (which is the Christian...

    Lent

    I attend a non-denom church that is part of the Restoration Movement. I have wondered why we do not celebrate Lent? (I've never gotten a straight answer on this for some reason). The only thing I can come up with is because it's a 'denominational' practice.

    verses needed

    I have a friend who is worried about another friend because she is making some wrong choices. I am trying to encourage her to trust in God, that He will take care of this other friend. And that she needs to let go and let God. Can anyone point me to some good verses? I have a few, but would...

    Women Teaching Men, a question

    I tried to post this yesterday and apparently it didn't for some reason. I have a question. On another thread someone (& I can't remember his name, and this is NOT to bash him) made the comment that he will not listen to a woman on any spiritual matter. He based that on the verse that talks...

    Study on alcohol

My best friends husband, though, believes it's a sin, and that we are ignoring certain verses in the Bible that speak against...

    When you feel you've failed God

    I asked this on the women's discussion, but haven't gotten any responses, so thought I'd post here. My best friend is feeling that she has failed God and others. I won't go into great detail, but she was actually doing something that God had led her to do. However, she feels that she didn't...

    Cheeseball

    I am looking for a good easy cheeseball recipe. I have made one but can't remember all I put in it. I do know it had cream cheese, worcestershire sauce and was rolled in cut up dried beef. I really want an easy one. I have found some that include blue cheese, which I don't like. And if...

    Mark 16:9-20

    I have a couple questions concerning this passage. First of all, it is stated in my Bible that this passage is not in the earliest manuscripts. In the footnotes it states: "Serious doubt exists as to whether these verses belong to the Gospel of Mark. They are absent from important early...

    Fulfill/abolish the law

    Just wondering if anyone can better explain this to me. Many times I hear someone say that Jesus fulfilled the law. I hear it many times when someone says we are under grace, not the law. But then I also will hear someone say that He fulfilled the law but didn't abolish it. For example, one...

    How do I?

    I am a new member and received an anonymous gift--Snowys' Blessings Faerie. I am assuming the icon can be put on my posts. How do I do this? I found it in my 'inventory', but don't know what else I am supposed to do? Can someone please tell me? Thanks!! :D
