the only topic in science that would change is how old one views the earth. If you review the "Churches" histories they were corrupt through the years as are all institutions created by man made tradition. If you review how old the earth is - there is no actual way to prove the dating of the...

I didn't know their was a scriptural reference for a minister to forgive sins. Just curious.

Please read all of Thessalonians before you only use two verses. There is an entire section on the Book of Thessalonians that discusses how the world will come to an end. Even Christ in the New Testatment told us he did not know the hour - only the Father. The book of Revelation is even...

Two examples of how suffering may come about. Book of Job. (God does not allow Satan to inflict upon us any more than we individually can handle) King David and his interactions with Bathsheba and the execution of her Husband Uriah. This resulted in immense suffering - loss of their child.

Frank Peretti wrote an excellent book called "Tilly" Abortion is also forced upon families in China if you have more than one child and cannot pay the per child tax.

Why are you focused on what "baptist" you are; rather than who Christ is? I think th1bill was the only one on here who got it right thus far.

Words of Christ: "..If you love me, you will obey me..." Even Christ broke the Sabbath and the man made rules of the day as well.

Faith: believing in something without seeing. "Blessed are those who believe and have not seen.." (Christ said this) Aside from this: the actual bottom line is it takes the same amount of faith to believe in God creating the world and everything in it as it does for someone to believe in any...

i think you ought to define the term procreate before you apply it to same-sex relations. just a thought.

Do you not think that other countries do the same? That would be naive! The freedom and lack their of in other countries is far less than what we have here. If the USA wants to listen and copy what I am typing here let them waste their time. What are you hiding? the question I think is when...

Question: How does an infant sin when it is born from its mother's womb? Jer 1:1 God created them male and female in the likeness of His image (Genesis) - did God stop doing this? Is not God's creation always perfect? If God's creation is perfect - then how is an infant who is born into a world...

I have seen churches literally split over images such as a picture being taken down during a service or a flag removed from the sanctuary. The question would be how much importance do you place upon these things. Even the Pharisee in the NT held to "tradition." In today's churches we have...

I would like to throw a wrench in this discussion if I may. The court did rule that prayer in school was in violation of the Constitution due to the First Amendment: 8 to 1 vote. My Argument: Clarence Darrow (lawyer) in Tennessee fought for Evolution to be taught in the school systems...

1watchman: I know what scripture says: but is it right to force others something they may believe is wrong? How in turn would this affect the Constitution and its Amendments?

Think of the most ridiculous truthful story that has ever happened to you. Then think to yourself if you told a crowd of strangers if they would think your true story would hold fact if it just happened to you without witnesses. Review the story of Adam and Eve: what imperical evidence do you...

If you read the sermon on the mount in regards to Judging. Do not judge, referring to having a plank in your own eye. Whether or no you give a homeless person a $1 is not a use of good or bad judgement. In many churches that I have attended I have not seen what I see where I currently attend...

Prophetic Ministry: define this. Prophesy: when one is "prophesying" what is one doing? It sounds like after reading three different posts. there are several different definitions implied. Speaking in tongues is only to be done amongst an interpreter/unless speaking a language know to the...

In 1962 a Supreme Court Case was presented in New York at the State level. I am currently in a Political Science class whereas this topic arose and of course as most instructors, he is very liberal in his beliefs. (With that said.) The court case was based on the premise that a family did not...

Alternatives to not be part of the world is opposite of what Christ did. Christ engaged the tax payer/woman at the well/Saul and list goes on. We are to be a light unto the world so they may know Him through us. (How we live our lives;show compassion, humility, forgiveness ect.) At the same...

Question ? How do you think Peter would feel that a church is more interested in the fact that it was built on Him rather than Christ? yes Peter's name is Petros - rock; Christ said on this rock I will build my church. Yet is not Christ the cornerstone that Peter wrote about? Whose life...
