This question is not exclusive to calvinists, but I want to post it here. This video by an atheists brings up a good point about how you can compare the situations between events of the old testament and nazi germany. Christians defend one but condemn the other. He goes into other things toward...

This is amazing

I see, so prayer is a means that God uses to change the hearts of the people who are praying. Is that correct?

What is the purpose prayer if God has already preordained everything? What does prayer actually do?

The Hardcover is $85, but the kindle edition is only $2, I jumped on it, thanks.

I'm wondering if any of you can recommend some good resources for studying on church history. Much appreciate it.

Another young adult in my church and I are trying to start a youth ministry at our church directed toward the 18-29 year old age group. I would say regular attendance at our church to be around 50-70 people every week. The two of us are in our early 20's and there are probably about 10 people in...

I love attack on titan! Yes, EPIC is the one word to describe it. Though, in the show they worship the wall surrounding the human civilization as God...WHAT!???

I will be going to Otakon in about a week. I used to cosplay at every con, but these days I don't have enough time to make costumes (I'm not that good at sewing and the ones I've made so far aren't very good and I wouldn't want to wear them again). I go to three cons a year, Anime USA, Katsucon...

I love much of Key's anime. Clannad is my favorite romance of all time and Kanon was great too. But after I saw the first episode of Angel Beats, it turned me off personally because of their motto "No God, No Buddha, No Angels." Now, that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it, but just be aware that...

Is there something specific that non-denominational Christians believe that separate them from other denominations (yes, I know it's strange that I'm speaking about non-denominational christians as if it was another denomination). How exactly does being a non-denominational Christian make you...

I stand corrected. However, what are his solutions to the economic problem?

You can't just blame this on Obama however, neither side wants to cut spending. During the debt ceiling fiasco, if the republicans had their way, they would only be cutting proposed spending increases and in the end, we would still be spending more than we would be the year before. They talk...

I think that since Krugman believes that destruction stimulates the economy, he decided to blow up some cars for the good of America. However, I actually believe Krugman is a really nice person. I just think he's wrong on everything about the economy. And it's not that it is he specifically...

I don't know if we are still talking about gun laws or if someone has already said this. But as well intentioned as banning guns is, it will not make people safer. Criminals don't obey the law, so why would they obey a ban on guns? If you look at a large amount of the mass murders that happen...

This is for people who came to Christ later in life or were born in Christian families, but didn't really believe until later. It would be nice if you can share your stories about how you came to Christ and what factors drove you to him? I ask because I will be getting baptized soon and it...

So I went to sabbath school with some of my friends at their church and we were discussing what God meant to us individually. One of my friends pointed out something that really got everyone thinking. If God did not bring us to heaven if we believed, or if we didn't go to hell if we didn't...

Thank you for your input, now I just need to find exactly where in the bible it says that. If you know, that would be a great help. Though I completely understand your point, anything that claims power over the world besides God is probably devil-related.

A lot of cultures believe in spirits of some kind. The kind I'm focusing on are the earthly spirits, like the kinds believed to exist in eastern religions. Just wondering if the bible mentions anything about them or anything that remotely resembles them. Like if they're real, if they're not...

That's not the point of the thread, I'm finding what other people believe and why? And please remember to use biblical evidence. I understand your point, but seriously, I'm asking the literal question here.
