We are no longer allowing posts or threads that deny the existence of Covid-19. Members have lost loved ones to this virus and are grieving. As a Christian site, we do not need to add to the pain of the loss by allowing posts that deny the existence of the virus that killed their loved one. Future post denying the Covid-19 existence, calling it a hoax, will be addressed via the warning system.

What Exactly is a "Spirit-Filled" Church?
What does it mean when someone says that he belongs to a, "Spirit-filled" church? Is he claiming that other churches or Christians are not "filled" with God's Spirit? Is it all about falling on the ground and "holy laughter"?
Don't all of God's elect have His Spirit indwelling? -
Is Confession to Elders Necessary for Forgiveness?
Catholics practice regular confession to priests.
Do they feel unforgiven if they don't?
Should they?
I also know of a non-Catholic religious denomination that demands that all serious sins be reported to elders. If not, then you are HIDING something and that can warrant disfellowshipping or as Catholics call it-excommunication.
Does any of this have any substantial scriptural support? -
Would Jesus Own a $16,000 Dog?
This person owns a $16,000 dog. Would Jesus own a $16,000 dog? Which is this, God's blessing or man's greed?
How does the New Testament either back this or condemn it?

Is Praying a Pre-Written Prayer Inauthentic?
During a worship service, is it inauthentic to use a prayer that you wrote beforehand or someone else wrote 1,000 years ago? -
Does God Truly Care About this Earthly Life?
It is plain to see we live in a world with much suffering. This suffering seems rather random - the atheists, Christian, or Buddhist all have chances of developing cancer, losing a loved one, or experiencing any other tragedy. As evidenced in the early church, the Christian is certainly not exempt from earthly suffering. Sure, some suffering may be directly attributed to free will, but this is not the case with natural disaster or disease. It is the old question: if God is all-powerful, and... -
How should Christians Vote?
I would contend that many Christians are using the wrong criteria in choosing their candidate. We're not voting for a pastor or elder or even a Christian. We're electing someone to carry out God's purposes for government laid out in Romans 13 and elsewhere.
Will the candidate you're supporting minister to its citizens by punishing evil doers? Will your candidate be good at this? Or will he be passive and incompetent?
If you study the origins of government you find out, it pre-exists... -
LDS Patriarchial Blessings: Genuine Prophecy or Wishful Thinking ???
LDS members receive a "Patriarchial Blessing" which makes many predictions. Is this genuine prophecy or wishful thinking. I say the latter.
Here is an example for consideration: -
LDS Why do Mormons think they are of the Aaronic priesthood?
Why do Mormons think they are of the Aaronic and Melchezedek (know I spelled that wrong) priesthoods? What is the premise? -
The Historicity of the Gospels
It's often assumed that the gospel writers could not have been conveying actual history because they were people who believed in Jesus. The idea is that whatever in the Gospels corresponds to Christian faith cannot be historically trustworthy. But why couldn't the opposite be true? Why couldn't it be that only faith could really appreciate and adequately report what happened in the Jesus of history? -
LDS Are American Indians of Hebrew descent?
I believe that the BOM or other Mormon documents say that the American Indians are of the 12 Tribes of Israel back from the time of Noah.
DNA tests have been done of American Indians and there is no Hebrew blood in their DNA.
How can this be true then?
