Personally, I don't think we're teaching kids to worship Santa, per se, but rather the secularistic commercialistic spirit that he is increasingly coming to represent. I know that's kind of passe and last year to be saying, but I also think its true. Everything this time of year focuses on the...

Music is art, fundamental, pure and simple. Art as a method to spread truth and gospel is an excellent means, because in many cases those who won't listen to an argument will consider art. In the case of this song, I don't think the intent was a clear and precise summation of the Gospel, it is...

Two reasons, at least personally. 1.) As good of a translation as the NKJV is, there are still a few readings which seem to diagree in content in the English with the TR reading in the Greek. I forget exactly what these passages were....I'd have to go look for my notes and see if i can find...

The basis for the belief is that the TR is based not simply off of two or three manuscripts that were gathering dust in the back room of an Alexandrian monastery for over 1000 years as the Codex Sinaticus and the Codex Vaticanus were. The TR is in agreement with well over 90% of the early...

I'm a KJV-Onlyist in that the KJV is the only Bible I use for teaching, reading, meditation, memorization, witnessing, and preaching. I don't apply to the belief in double-inspiration of the KJV that voids the validity of any other translation. The main reason I hold to the KJV is that I think...

I love the Hitchhiker's Guide books, I find them quite amusing. As for the movie, whenever I go to see a movie based on a book I like I try my hardest to seperate myself from my inherent geekness for the book, and view the movie on its own merits. That said, I am one of the few who apparently...

Doing my yearly "Lord of the Rings" read. I almost inevitably go through this book once a year....I love it!

Honestly, I do it. I only put people on there if they're family or friends, or I know them at least peripherally. If someone I can't immediately assign a face to (without a pictures help) wants to be a facebook friend, I decline the request. It's not because I feel anti-social or that I have...

For some of the people that gain a bunch of attention in the KJV only movement (like those folks in N.C. who are burning non-KJV Bibles and other literature on Halloween), I would definitely agree with you. There are folks out there who will argue that if you arn't saved under the KJV, then you...

In my family, we always got gifts from "Santa Claus" and the Reindeer and stuff, but my brother and I never actually believed in a big fat man dressed in red that flew around in a sleigh delivering gifts to everyone. From the beginning we were always told that Santa was a fictional figure that...

Halloween is a dark, dark holiday that has been prettied up, secularized, and changed so that it no longer resembles what it's original origin was. Pretty much what they're trying to do in reverse to Christmas and Easter. In almost everyway, the symbology of the holiday refers to the dark...

Cubanito, in general, I disagree with everything you said. Although what Christ said seemed insane to many of that day, He wasn't speaking for those that wouldn't bother to listen....He was speaking to those that HAD the ear to hear. How different is that from all the prophets of the Old...

With all due respect, the comparison between the RCC prior to and just after the beginning of the Reformation and the reliance of many on the KJV is not entirely similar. There are sections of the KJV-Only crowd who are extremely vociferous, argumentative, and abusive of others in the defense of...

Where did I say that I was disagreeing with Scripture? What I stated was that I didn't think that this particular chip was the Mark, in that the currently existing government setup. Is it possible that the same technology will be used to power the Mark later on? Yes, of course! But when the Mark...

Agreed.The United States now is a parallel to Rome of the 1-3rd Century. Much more powerful than basically any other nation-state in the world, and yet weakened from within because of the decadence and apathy of its own citizens. This has been marked in the case of the US by the increasing...

I'm not overly concerned about this chip personally, although I do agree with the idea that this is a precursor to the Mark. The United States government has no way to compel the entire populace to receive this chip, it violates 4 or 5 set Constitutional precedents right now. Most importantly...

I think the KJV-only argument is one of the ones that is dividing the Church against itself at a time when we need to be more and more united against the threats that are facing Christians. We are divided to the point of hatred against our brothers who DARE to use a different translation, and...

Two thoughts. First we determine if we are fundamentalists if we personally believe that the Word of God is true and authoritative in all matters, speaking as it does with the Voice of God. A true fundamentalist cannot ignore the Scripture, and what the Scripture teaches. So in that sense its...

Pastor preached on "What is precious unto the Lord?" starting off with Psalm 116:15 and working his way through the "precious" statements in 1 & 2 Peter. The message really focused not just on how the redemption of the lost soul is precious unto God, but the continued death of the believer to...

That I know of, there isn't any particular thought that would go against a person who is actually circumsized. As a religious act, of course, it holds no merit. There is nothing that comes out of it, salvationary or otherwise. Biblically, it is very clear in Acts, and throughout Paul's epistles...
