You are most welcome Blue Wren.

Thanks Blue Lion, Your opening post is instructive, chastening and encouraging to me. We Christians can be absolute world class jerks towards each other, and I've behaved that way far too many times myself towards fellow believers. It's a poor witness before the world if we are tearing each...

Wow, Thank You for the Grace in Christ Brother. Anyways I honestly do wish you well from the bottom of my Christ First-Christian First, Old Earth Creationist second, heart. I still have many YEC brothers and sisters in the Lord whom I love dearly. We do have honest discussions about this very...

As I said, I'm an Old Earth Creationist who keeps abreast on the different viewpoints and debate and discussions that are going on. If I don't fit one of the neat little categorical boxes you seem to be fond of making for others, so be it. As I said, I know the YEC party line, the doctrines, the...

You do realize that not all Biblical Scholars, including some very devout men of God, well before one Charles Darwin was even born, did not hold to a hyper literal interpretation of the Biblical days of creation. As for dating biblical history let alone history itself by the generations listed...

I kept my comments focused on science only. I made no comments about the scriptures as Biblical Studies and all that goes with it, is an entire field unto itself. The scriptures do indeed make use of allegory and symbolic language, as well as the poetic and it speaks in parables as well, and the...

Sorry, I know the party line and dogma and false dichotomies already, as I was once a dogged and determined YEC myself. Also real science never claims to be infallible or knows everything. Yes YEC pundits and their scientists and their claims, do need to account and be held accountable when...

Thank You for saying what needs to be said! I am a former YEC, who left the position once I learned that YEC science failed as a theoretical model across several areas of science to the point I could not ignore it, or lie to myself any longer. Right now I reside in the Old Earth camp. I agree...

Good grief! At least it's more of a secular business notion, that did not originate because some church leaders or a congregation said that what they need to perk up attendance is to put together a McChurch. I hope they fail to find any church to partner with for this atrocious exercise in...

I've never heard of the translation at all. Reminds me of a one man translation effort called the Literal translation if I remember the name correctly, which wasn't too awful as far as translations go, but it suffered from being the work of one translator. The rest of what your brother is...

Yes you can come to saving faith in and through the great grace of God through and in Jesus Christ. Read John 3:16 and Ephesians 2:8-9 for starters. Many persons who've been raised as Catholics or in non-catholic Christian denominations, even Baptist, along with persons who later became involved...

My steps are ordered by the Lord as well as a disciple of Christ. So who exactly are you accusing of canceling the cross, and not being spiritual? I do diagnose spiritual things through the guidance of the Holy Spirit and God's word. You came to the Baptist forum to challenge Word of Faith...

Ummm.....The majority of Baptists and most Baptist churches, have nothing to do with prosperity doctrines, and other teachings of this sort that are popular among pentecostals and Word of Faith charismatics, in which Mr. Copeland is quite popular in those circles, as he is part of it. Are you...

I'm a Christian and I've been paid professionally as a musician, and I still play to this day, when paying gigs come up. Why is it that when a Christian pursues a career in the musical arts it's considered evil by some Christians? To me it's no more of a sin to be a musician or singer songwriter...

Read John 3:16, chapter 3 verse 16, if you have a Bible with the New Testament to start with. That's the gospel message in a quick nut shell. There is more, but it starts there in the 3rd chapter of the Gospel of John.

No, it's not a Christian organization. The best way I can describe it is as a new age group, that has borrowed bits and pieces from Christianity, and has mixed it up with spiritualism, a smidgeon of swedenborgism, and other new age concepts born out of the tired old 19th century theosophy...

You haven't committed the unpardonable sin, believe me. However I don't know if you are dealing with any emotional or mental issues in your life. I went through exactly the same thing you did after I became a Christian at age 15, long, long, ago, as far as having weird blasphemous thoughts pop...

I am glad that you have found your rest in Christ. I too went through a long crisis of faith similar to what you went through, until God led me to completely rest in the person and finshed work of our Lord Jesus.
