    Iran's Nuclear program

    This forum is young and has few people and is the best bet for doing things in a Christian way if you just put a bit of effort into it. The other forums here are so set in their ways that it would be hard to change their dynamics now. This one still has a chance to be the epitome of Christian...

    Feetwashing

    I pastor a small church and we do footwashing every time we have communion. Some people think it is not necessary because Jesus didn't command it to be done, but these are the words he used: Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I...

    You are having a tough time accepting that you can grow. Why is that?

    Iran's Nuclear program

    You are doing it again. It's too bad two Christian men are unwilling to look at an area where they need growth. I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable for someone to have a serious discussion with you about growth and Christian maturity, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed...

    Be not conformed to this world - Clothing discussion

    Thanks for the well thought out answer. It gave me a meaningful, nonjudgmental and informative picture of the group and their beliefs.

    Iran's Nuclear program

    It doesn't seem like you are often any other way. Yes, those who dish it can rarely take it. I think that if you really respected the women here, you would read what they write and not just react. It would be good if you could respond to them without being dismissive or parental. If you...

    Be not conformed to this world - Clothing discussion

    How interesting that they would regulate something that is so extra-Biblical and personal. What other things of a personal nature did they regulate? Were there similar regulations for men, or just women?

    Communal Living

    I think you get about as much from any community as you put into it. You could be just as satisfied with a close-knit church in a small village as you would be with living on a commune.

    The Peace Witness

    I've never been to a peace demonstration. You'll have to let me know what it's like.

    So you weren't asking permission as much as looking for fashion advice. But you could still buy the suit if you wanted to.

    Be not conformed to this world - Clothing discussion

    No. Not at all. I think most people do the things they do because they want to, and not because of some Biblical precedent. I guess I should have put a ^_^ in there, but I am new to posting on a board and didn't think of it.

    Iran's Nuclear program

    I just was noticing how much you and Dan seem to talk to each other and no one else, really. I thought as a brother in the Lord I would maybe point out something you hadn't noticed before that would lead to better harmony and brotherhood around here, since that seems to be an issue everywhere on...

    But Woe To You Who Are Rich

    Well, that's true. We North Americans tend to spend on things we don't want and be stingy with things we do want. We have a lot of stuff we thought would make us happy, but in the long run, very few things will really make you happy.
