Born Again Wars and rumors of wars all around when will this war within my heart cease to pound with want from earthquakes which move my feet onto the next desire until it leaves me desolate in the silence of death leaving it behind like the man who stored up goods in his barn for...

The reason I was unsatisfied was because the Churches in my area that fell under those categories seemed to be conservative. Such is the case of living in Texas I suppose. It seems like I may have found a Church that I am interested in, but I don't know, yet. It is a "community" church. I was...

I realize that salvation is not dependent on anything other than a belief in Christ's blood through death, and his resurrection for salvation. However, an obstacle to accepting that is being raised in a fundamental independent baptist Church, where they taught a literal interpretation of...

I am truly uninterested in a Churches political opinions, as I see them to be a separate matter. My inquiring of a liberal church or progressive Church would be one that moves away from conservative Christianity or Fundamentalism. I wouldn't go as far to say that I want one that denies miracles...

In my experience, the reason why I, and others, I believe, have trouble converting to Christianity is with science literacy. Young Earth Creationism, and Fundamentalism tries to completely re-write science to fit their ideas into science, rather than letting science shape their ideas. I can see...

I am seeking to attend a progressive or liberal church near Austin, TX. I currently live in Round Rock, and need to find a place I to attend. Thanks.

Hmm, doesn't seem like a very satisfying treatment of it. Thank you though. I do like the idea of Genesis sort-of being a foreshadowing of events. Interesting.

This is interesting. I had no idea. What, then, is the explanation for genealogies?

I live in Texas, and oppose the death penalty because they have been numerous cases where evidence showed people on death row to be innocent. I also think this idea that it is more humane to kill someone than to sentence them to life in prison is false. If I were sent to prison I would spend...

Without simplistic answers such as, "Genesis is meant to be taken literal," how do you reconcile Genesis with Evolution? I have many obstacles preventing me from full fledged Christianity, and this is a prominent one. I am involved with science heavily and I do not see evolution as a...

Please pray for me. I have intuitively felt that God exists for sometime, and was even religious for a number of years. However, many things drove me away. My life has bettered since leaving religion, truthfully. However, I have this tugging in my soul trying to yank be back to faith. But... I...

Hello everyone, It's been awhile since I've been here. A lot of faces I recognize, many a don't. I need help with life issues. I am not looking for a response that doesn't take into consideration people involved in my life and the life/well-being of myself. That is, the issues I am...

I have decided to stay away from these forums. Since I have stepped away from debating, I have seen these forums do not contain the fruits of Christ. I am commanded to fear false teachers, which are known by their barren fruits. The attitude of many on here is a testimony against them. If...

I just want to see the next world as this world. I don't want to have my flesh long to hold onto these things. I want to not care about them at all. But I do.

I'm too terrified and lacking desire to change. I have an amount of desire, by grace, but not enough.

I have useless entertainments: television, books, laptop, dvd, bluray. I have clothes, enough for the week. I have a car. I have a apartment. A couch, a bed, blankets, towels, dishes, etc. So much nice stuff made in the hands of the poor. I watch DVDs instead of serving others. I have hot...

Thanks for sharing. Your last bit reminds me.something Soren Kierkegaard said: “The matter is quite simple. The bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we...

It's your job to forgive. It's G-D's job to deal justice. There's no need to pray about it if He promises vengeance. But, He will also judge your heart, not just this person.

And just FYI, i knew a girl born with both, and she can grow hair on her face because her testosterone is so similar to a male.

Just out of curiousity, should we then leave those born with both a vagina and penis with a vagina and penis, or use surgery to rid of one of them. And if so, which one? And how do you know the one you remove isn't the wrong one? And if it can potentially be the wrong one, then how do we know...
