    Why Should I Go To Church?

    I just read through what has been posted in here since my last post, and I've got to admit that rather than encouraging Lisa to go to church, this thread would probably be scaring her away! opinions and arguments - even human judgements of who belongs to Christ and who doesn't! Has satan...

    Why Should I Go To Church?

    Come on guys, we're missing you in there! I know all the stuff about Abraham, Jacob, John the Baptist, etc all finding God "out in the wilderness", but heck, there are a lot of good people in church with a lot of bad habits from never meeting "real" people. You know how often I feel like a...

    Why Should I Go To Church?

    That's why you're needed there so much more if that sort of thing is happening. That's plain toilet behavior and it needs to be cleaned up...

    Why Should I Go To Church?

    What do you mean "not a fundamental christian"? Do you believe Jesus died to redeem you, etc? Coz that's the fundamentals, everything else is just details and denominations pretty much...

    Why Should I Go To Church?

    Haha, I would have quoted just the bits I agreed with but you're totally right. It's all a joke - nothing like the book of acts describes! But I have three reasons why I go, and why I believe we should all attend: 1) In one of the epistles it says something along the lines of "let us not...

    Why?

    I married my wife coz she's cool and for some crazy reason I'll never understand, she seems to think the same about me. What influenced us? Well, that's a long story but basically there was one Adam and God made one Eve just for him. That's how it is for us. Also - we are both committed to...

    Question/Answer

    Israel, Brazil or Zimbabwe. Very tough choice... What is your calling?

    Preachers

    I enjoy T.D Jakes for some encouragement once in a while. Apart from that I prefer to dialogue.

    So Mormons, which exactly is the "greatest of all the gifts of God"?

    It's just as unreliable as the bible on those grounds. I just read something equally contradictory in the gospels: Mat 3:7 But seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said to them, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to...

    Should wives 'lie back and think of England' when they aren't interested in sex?

    And the duty of a husband to satisfy his wife. Jesus doesn't just expect us to fall over and worship Him because He says so. We fall over and worship Him because he would give His left n*t for us and did it and would probably do it again. And that's how marriage should be!

    Are we Sancified or are we in the process of being sancified?

    I partially agree with both Nephilim and Rebekah. We are saved by grace, and grace alone. However - any branch that does not bear good fruit will be cut off and burned. Or: You tell me about your faith, I will show you my faith by my works.

    Gap Theory

    Alsothis reliance on the word "replenish" in verse 28. H6509 פּרה pârâh paw-raw' A primitive root; to bear fruit (literally or figuratively): - bear, bring forth (fruit), (be, cause to be, make) fruitful, grow, increase. God is simple black and white, tells...

    Gap Theory

    I don't buy it. I've never heard of it before and it seems to hang on the word "became" that didaskalos quotes below. I just read the ASV, CEV, DRB, ESV, GNB, GW, KJV, KJVR, LITV and MKJV versions and it doesn't say it "became" in any of those versions. The Hebrew word it comes from is...

    I lost the battle

    I'll second that. Whatever battle it is, it's the Lords though. And He also won the war so don't beat yourself up about it.

    Oral sex, the thorn in my marriage.

    True eh. I love it, both giving and receiving. My wife hates it. For me, it's got nothing to do with [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse], etc. It just feels so intimate and close. So we traded off. We still have oral sex, but now its more about talking. And to make up for the physical side of things - she bakes for me!

    What do you think of these two verses of scripture?

    Very encouraging! The Lord will march out as a mighty warrior :bow: Glorious faith! :clap:

    Do you know of a church that...

    Yep I'd basically agree with whats been said, but I have to say that the building you meet in IS NOT THE CHURCH. You, me, and all the apostles and saints and members of this forum are the church. I looked around for a "church" that felt right for 1 1/2 years after being saved and couldn't find...
