    Jesus went to Hades history

    The OP asks: "Does anyone know when the idea that Jesus went to hell to suffer at the hands of Satan or otherwise was first taught?" I never heard of it. It sounds pretty stupid. WHERE did you hear about it? Be specific. If not, it sounds like a "fake" OP to me.

    my boss let me borrow some supplies

    If the OP thinks that returning the Supplies will offend this person, then I advise you to DONATE them to someone. If you want, tell the donee why you don't want to keep them any longer. Or, call up the Nephew, and offer them back to him. If he says: "Naa, I don't want them ... you keep...

    Fun Thread: ABC's of Bible Names

    Strong also incorrectly identified the "Magi." I don't know what Version of the Bible you are using, but the King James Version never uses the term "Magi." Matthew 2:1 says: "behold, there came wise men from the east." And, Verse 7 uses only wise men. And Verse 16 uses wise men too.

    Fun Thread: ABC's of Bible Names

    The OP set-up the Rule: "This game uses only names (person or place) from the Bible." Strong said (incorrectly, I think) that any names were supposed to be personal names. She responded to Cherokee, who claimed that was the Rule here. I call on the OP to clarify his Rule. And, which...

    Fun Thread: ABC's of Bible Names

    Well, after Cherokee has Posted 9 times (while consistently missing the point), I am a bit lost. There are several "V" names in the Bible (contrary to what she said). And, she ain't too Hot on "W"s either. (the 3) Wise men. And, for ahmunmun, I suggest that she write her name inside...

    Please help me.

    One lousy job. Contrary to what others have said, I believe in avoiding problems. If you have a measly 3-month job, then I would NOT list it as a former job. Put down the jobs that really matter. NO Application demands that you MUST list every job you've ever had (unless you are going to...

    Seeking Godly Direction And Advice!!!!!!!!!!

    To keep it up . . . or NOT. Relationships COME . . . and then they go (this is Life). It sounds like this one has broken down. Certainly, you can keep taking the abuse, if you wish. However, if you don't want the relationship to continue, then YOU will HAVE TO be the one who has to...

    What about our dreams?

    Faulty seems like he's being faulty again with me: "You assume too much." Please explain (clearly) what my logic error is. If not, then keep your assumptions to yourself. You sucked at Football, so you didn't make it into Professional Sports. You had NO musical talent; therefore, you...

    Is "niceness" a Christian virtue?

    Define nice-ness, Mr. OP. I believe that Jesus Christ wants us to feel as many POSITIVE emotions as we can. In His GREAT Commandment, Jesus asks us to Love God, and Love others. So, this would imply that Jesus Christ doesn't want us to be MEAN to others. If a person is NOT being mean...

    What about our dreams?

    Faulty judged my "advice" by different standards than the OP suggested: "I had dreams as a boy of playing football in the NFL." Yeah, well that's find and good, but that doesn't have anything to do with the OP's un-fulfilled dreams. She clearly stated that she was GOOD at it. You, on the...

    The Ethical Dilemma

    Stupid Bible Studies 101. It cracks me up with the ignorance of many Bible Study teachers. They yank out some Old Testament story, and say we should ALL be like that Saint. Or, they point to John the Baptist, and claim that EVERY Christian should be like him. Yawn. So, OP, for you it...

    "What I don't like about Word of Faith" No debate thread

    Christians are Christians. There are 1200 Denominations out there. So, when a person from one of the 1200 looks at other Denominations, she will see things she doesn't like. This is basic Human nature. Why does the OP focus on a Denomination, and run it down? All Christians are in the...

    What about our dreams?

    The OP vents because she didn't do enough to make one of dreams come true. Well, that is caused by your actions. We don't need to God to make our dreams come true, that's OUR job. When I look at some of my un-fulfilled dreams, I can see that I wasn't full invested in them. The OP has...

    What to read in the Bible?

    Try Leviticus. Most Churches don't spend much time with it. Lamentations is unusual too. But, if you've been a Life-long Christian, then you should KNOW which books of the Bible are used the most. Then, just go to book titles that you rarely hear. And, if you really want to get some...

    What are your thoughts on this dilemma?

    The snippy OP responded: What I was thinking of saying to the pastor was something like, "Should we put R on the list for staff events?" Yeah. Well what else COULD she ask, that would get her invited to Staff events? I STILL don't see the issue here. 1) The Counselor WANTS to go to...

    Hmm. The OP was mean to his girlfriend. I would certainly apologize to her for being so mean.

    What are your thoughts on this dilemma?

    The OP asks: "Do you think I should mention something to the pastor?" As opposed to what? 1) She is angry at being snubbed; 2) She dumps it on you; 3) You dump it on us; 4) Yet, she is the Church's counselor? If she says nothing to the the Pastor, then she is telling him: I didn't...
