    In the beginning there was a Big Bang ...

    No Hespera, I heard this account on the radio. My goodness but there is a lot of hostility in this thread! You people need to get to the gym or go play some volleyball. Maybe you can vent your aggression in a healthy way. It is true that with a Christian construct we are faced with an...

    In the beginning there was a Big Bang ...

    I heard a Professor give his answer to the student who asked "Where did the matter and energy for the Big Bang come from?" The wise old professor answered speaking to several hundred in the lecture hall, "As we continue back to to the Big Bang we arrive at the beginning of time and space...

    New Post 5 times for chances to win 25,000 blessings

    I'm sorry but I am new here ... What exactly are these "Blessings"? I see you can buy them, are they a way to support the forum? You can give them away or exchange something?

    ". . . and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness."

    The way I read the account the issue is "knowledge of good and evil". Before the act of rebellion there was innocence and fellowship with God, whereas afterward there was shame and fear and separation. Only through Christ can we be free of condemnation and shame. Without Him it will follow us...

    Speak the Truth, or be PC?

    I also was suprised to see so much non-christian content on christianforums.com . Jehova Witnesses and Mormons as well as aethiests and liberals having their own venues. I do believe however that where ever we go, the Great Commission is before us! Bringing these folks in to the mix will bring...

    The Hope of Israel, is it spiritual ?

    I agree, Israel shall be saved at the end of the seventieth week when they shall look upon the One they pierced. Shall a nation be born in one day? (Yes I think). In the meanwhile there is no one like a Saved Jew. We had "Jews for Jesus" stay with us once and they were on fire for the Lord!

    John 8 and Jesus writing in dirt

    I heard it suggested that He was writing the names of their girlfriends! Sounds plausible to me.

    As a thief in the night.

    Revelation 3 10Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. 11I am coming soon.

    As a thief in the night.

    As you can see from this verse All will hear the Gospel ... Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people. Rev 14:5 This is after the Rapture and so it can not be said that...

    Grieving the Holy Spirit to the point that he Withdraws

    RobertZ, From what I am reading there is little doubt that you are a Heaven Bound child of God. It is not our righteousness (or lack there-of) that wins our Salvation and you know that! Only the finished work on the cross as Christ died for all of us sinners. It is by Grace that you are saved...

    What exactly is required to be saved?

    Exekiel 36:26 (Isn't it?). God will change the saved individual giving them a new heart, a new spirit, and putting His Holy Spirit within them and causing them to (repent of sin) walk in His Ways. So the order is, Believe in your heart, confess with your lips, and you will be saved...

    Stem Cell Research

    I was under the impression that most of these stem cells were to be taken from embryos in fertility clinics which were otherwise to be destroyed. My question is: Shouldn't we be focusing on the practice of growing human embryos most of which are going to be destroyed? To me, the question is...

    I am trying to be a Pastor of a Baptist church, and have a problem with a doctrine

    I like the way Hank Hannagraph (sp?) on CRI put it ... I believe in the Doctrine of Eternal Salvation but not in the Doctrine of Eternal Presumption. From God's perspective once saved always saved as His Holy Spirit is given to us as assurance, but from our perspective we can not know about...
