Okay, I totally expected to have come into this thread too late, and someone would have already mentioned Thrice. They are a very popular secular band with a very consistent message. SO many of their songs come from the bible: For Miles Words in the Water Of Dust and Nations Come All...

Hey guys! Don't have time for a full post. Just wanted to chime in real quick before heading off to work. I think one of the main points is being missed here. Just because this passage talks about death, doesn't necessarily mean it refers to spiritual death. We've already established...

tobethebest-- You guys are really good! I really enjoyed listening to it!

Also, I believe that the music you listen to can certainly have an impact on your mood. So, if you listen to negative stuff, it can contribute to you having a negative mindset. If you listen to positive stuff, it can pick you up.

I don't know. My favorite band is Thrice, and they certainly have metal roots (they thrashed a little bit in their early days). In fact, I always felt that listening to Thrice almost always pulled me in the direction of the nearest bible. Taking an interest in their music made me want to take...

The reason Jewish Scholars didn't include the book of Enoch is that they had VERY specific criteria as to what they would include in scriptural canon. One of those criteria is that they had to have a manuscript of the book in it's original language. NOT GREEK...by the way. The most recent...

I hear you man. Christians need to understand that we are never supposed to fight PEOPLE. People are not the enemy. In fact, people are all fighting the same enemies . . . sin and demons! Take a look: Ephesians 6:12 "12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but...

I definitely use multiple versions. There's no perfect English translation so I feel like certain versions capture certain verses a little more accurately than other versions. I love the NLT. But I also use the NASB as well as the King James and New King James. It just depends on what I...

Hey Guys! This is an interesting question that I actually have an answer for. Fortunately, nobody is going to Heaven with any sin that hasn't been confessed. All of your sinful works will be burned at the Judgement Seat of Christ before you ever get to Heaven. The whole process is...

Your interpretation of this scripture is a common and a natural one. But, I'm afraid, it is inaccurate in a couple of major ways In these passages Paul is pleading with Hebrew Christians to get out of the mindset of needing a sacrifice for every sin. He is explaining that there is only ONE...

I think we're getting confused here because we're trying to lump all the different kinds of Grace into one category. The Bible says God has given us all sorts of different kinds of Grace. 1peter 4:10 "As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another...

I started reading Ezekiel, and that first chapter where Ezekiel describes his vision of the Cheribum he saw has to be my favorite description of Angels in the Bible. He describes these four-headed, four-winged, fiery, living beings accompanied by these intersecting wheels with eyeballs that...

A degeneration of intellect wouldn't shock me. I certainly believe we are a degenerative species; physically, genetically, certainly morally. I mean, if we had to start the world over again with only 2 people to populate the earth. We couldn't do it. We would get nowhere. Just my thoughts.

Absolutely I have received it! Anyone who has accepted Christ in their hearts has received the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Anyone who prays, and expects God to answer them has to trust in the Holy Spirit to clearly communicate the heart of their prayers to God. "We do not know what we ought...

Haha, Gangnam Style . . . yes, please!:bow: I don't know I don't plan ahead all that well, I'm more excited about this whole New Earth thingy. Pretty stoked about chilling with Jesus, petting some lions, and other cool stuff.

I disagree. There is a big distinction between reading a child a story, and telling them that a magical man exists that does not. Because when you tell them about a magical man that did exist (Jesus), what kind of credibility do you have with them?

That all sounds rough. The usual advice would be to distance yourself from the quarrelsome party but it's kind of hard to get away from dad, huh? You certainly should stop arguing with your father about this stuff, it's only going to drain you and make you doubt. I know you care, so the...

No, Jesus didn't remove the cause of sin. That's what hell is for. Heck yeah I believe my God is unrelenting in rooting evil out of this world. If he's not, we're all in BIG trouble. Jesus is exactly the payment for sins. This is how Paul explains it. When people were crucified there...

That man wasn't saved because Jesus was the head of the church. He was saved because he put his faith in Jesus Christ. You don't have to be in the church to do that.
