    The whole sabbath issue

    I could be mistaken, but I know nowhere in the Bible that establishes either Saturday or Sunday as the sabbath. Saturday was established by the Jewish church. Sunday by the Christian. The fact of the matter is that "on the seventh day he rested". The question you should be asking is what is...

    Christian ladies, do God WANT you to get married?

    I think the problem is he is misrepresenting the text. Here is an example: 118329230492 To say that this number is 18 would obviously be false, but may I point out that 18 is in this number. It is 2 of the digits. Just as I can surgically remove those 2 digits from the whole number without...

    calling those of science and religion - kind of a rant.

    What is age based on then? I have seen evidence that C-14 is far from accurate (coming from a non-Christian no-less). Basically, this guy was digging for some fossils and found some trees that were between a few thousand years old and a couple hundred thousand. They were in the earth...

    Christian ladies, do God WANT you to get married?

    Reconcilliation?

    If you read the rest of the chapter around those verses, you will find these verses do not mean what you think they mean. For example, the very first verse in Romans 5 is "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ". The word "we" refers to...

    Is Drinking to Excess Wrong?

    Ephesians 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Galatians 5:19-21 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition...

    HELP! May leave Christianity because of Conservatives

    Another thing to consider is the conservative church has a lot of good intentions, but they don't always go about it properly. Maybe you are called to humble them and show them how they should be proceeding?

    HELP! May leave Christianity because of Conservatives

    Even in the church, you will find weeds. Read Matthew 13:24-30. Jesus instructs us not to try to pluck them out, but to leave them, for only God is capable of discerning the good from the bad. Not to mention that everybody, even the worst person, has the capacity for change. Many people in...
