    @ Clergy & senior staff - If you could address all of the big issues every week...

    Thank you folks for your interest. I do agree with you. I'm just interested in, if it didn't amount to a lecture - maybe think of it as planting an idea in somebody's head - and, you could do it weekly - what would you want everyone to keep top of mind to strengthen the Christian community...

    @ Clergy & senior staff - If you could address all of the big issues every week...

    I've had this little mental exercise running through my head for the past couple of days - here goes; If you could make time stand still during your normal service time (i.e. everyone's perception of those 90 min. would be that it lasted only 90 min.) and be able to spend five or ten (or more)...

    Should we have a "Questions Answered" thread?

    I sent this proposal to the mods over a month ago but have received no response. So, I thought that I'd take it to the masses to see what y'all think; The purpose of this PM is to ask for your permission to bend the FSGs for EC just a little bit. What I’d like to do is post a request to...

    Annotated bible for dummies?

    Thank you all for your continued contribution to my inquiry. It’s very evident that you’ve all come to understand the essence of the bible through much study and prayer. I am also willing to put in the time, effort, and focus necessary to gain greater understanding. All of the...

    Annotated bible for dummies?

    Nope - It was just a clue into the thoughts of that particular church. If I had faith in the Christian God, then I suppose that I would also believe that "Every word is true" and it being "God-breathed". ...however... As I seek, it makes my head spin trying to figure out what should be...

    Annotated bible for dummies?

    While sitting with my wife in a non-denominational (slanted towards AG) service yesterday the pastor asked the congregation to hold up their bibles and repeat after him, "This is my bible", "Every word is true" (or, "It's all true", can't remember which). This was our first visit to this church...

    Who wrote the Bible?

    After reading another thread in this forum, I realized that my post above may be inappropriate. My apologies. Should I seek elswhere on this site? Or, should I start my own thread as the OP?

    Who wrote the Bible?

    I took a look at the CARM prophecy page and, as I often do, I got off an a tangent right away. It sure sounds like a curcifixion to me - and the part about casting lots for the clothing is very clear. I went to a synoptic parallel site to read what MML&J had to say about it. Yep, all four of...

    What is a "Godly Home"?

    Porterross – You are not boring or preachy. You’ve been very gracious and fair in your responses. Thank you! “OK, first and foremost.....you don't spend much time in her home, but you are considering marriage? This confuses me, but that is your business.” No big mystery here. We live...
