    Defending our faith

    That was a very well done article Matthew. It made its point, brought the evidence, examined the counter-point, and even had the proper counter-evidence.

    What are you praising God about today??!

    I praise the Lord for all of the little things that he has done for me! That I woke up this morning and am still breathing to this moment; that I have a great batch of supervisors and collegues at work; that I found this site yesterday and have been given many opportunities to further my own...

    Defending our faith

    Well the most obvious way to defend immersion verses sprinkling is looking at how John the Baptist baptized Jesus. They were fully in the Jordan river. As in they were both standing in the river before the baptism took place and during the rest of the process. If you are standing in the water...

    Baptists, People of Conflict

    Occasionally conflicts are introduced by insiders (like now where I'm making a counter statement to your point, lol). Peaceful conflict in search of truth is acceptable, in decerning false interpretations/teachings; its when the conflict becomes so great that we hate our brother that it reaches...

    Ignorance Fest on Calvinism

    That was a refreshing look at how little discussion actually goes on across the denominations. Every denomination is guilty of merely putting down the other without listening to what the other side has to say to some extent. He could have done a little more to build up the Calvanist side rather...

    Defending our faith

    That it is an outward act to show an inward change and faith. Or are you referring to something else? As in immersion versus sprinkling or partial dipping?

    Did Jesus love the Pharisees who had him murdered?

    This is a very long post and for that I am sorry, but please take the time to read it in its entirety before responding to my words. I will go through this point by point according to the order that LiveInSpirit brought up. Again all quotes of Scripture are through the King James Version unless...

    Scripture vs. Philosophy

    The point Paul was trying to make was not that one can't "follow" the teachings/interpretations of a specific learned person, but that we follow it to the point of exclusion and contention with our bretheren. In a way I agree with you that the seperation into various sects of Christianity and...

    Your Own relationship

    This is the problem of statements made in the absolute when they don't come from God. Most things of this world exist in a series of continua and so leave much room for statements to become stereotypical or simply wrong in specific cases. To say that a specific group of Christianity behaves...

    Divorce

    The answer to that comes from the fact that marriage is supposed to be for the glorification of God, in other words supposed to be holy. So ONLY in the case of adultry/fornication, which is the exact thing that destroys the holiness of marriage, is divorce allowed, and then the proper paperwork...

    Did Jesus love the Pharisees who had him murdered?

    Let us stop pointing the finger and making accusations here. If we are to continue to discuss this topic as fellow Christians we should do so peacefully and only discuss the content and not the person. (And hopefully keep it on the main topic) All of my scripture quotes are from the King James...
