    Its unauthorized to say that silence equals a command of God.

    This thread did one good thing. It helped us refresh on the arguments against the title. It sure did get a lot of people against the title. Take a look at that post count! We have many people here with something to say on this topic. My opinion is that where God is silent, I use caution. But...

    Its unauthorized to say that silence equals a command of God.

    No. The qualifier that his priesthood was an exception to the rule puts a hole in this specific point of your argument. My example of how to interpret scripture is this: 1) I am very careful. Like Noah, if told to do something a certain prescribed way, then I will not entertain others, at all...

    Thoughts on Predestination

    Prayer can change anything. God is outside of time. He sees all of time continuously past present and future. He can travel back in time and change something that will make your prayer for change not necessary and not happen in the present. We can never see some of the things he could and might...

    How Does the Holy Spirit Indwell?

    The Holy Spirit is active. Satan is active as well. To know which one is pitching at any given point in time, one should test the results using the bible as the rulebook. If it seems to contradict any part of the whole of the bible, then its from Satan. Whether the Holy Spirit being the word...

    As A Christian,How Do You Feel About...

    I only read the first post. I think this is a great exercise in knowing yourself. Thank you NavyWife40. Tobacco I used it for many years and it started due to the fact that I had little if any support for my feelings and turned to the neighborhood boys who all smoked. After a few weeks I was...

    How do you re-connect with God?

    I was baptized at the age of 9 and have not looked back ever since. That is when I last connected with God. God is with us all the time, he will not leave us. I am never too busy with conversations to forget God is here. It might be that I grieve the Holy Spirit when I get angry, but that is a...

    Ask me absolutely anything want?

    If Noah's flood was global and not only in the known world, then how did the animals and people and bible or God's book populate the other continents and why are they different on other continents?

    Fatherly Advice

    I am on the opposite side of things with a similar feeling. I am the step-father of an 18 year old girl. I met her when she was 11. She never knew her biological father until I got them together. He is a Christian and visits her once per month regularly. I have been everything to my daughter...

    selecting the right church....

    I'll put my few bits of advice in. The question you should ask is where might I be of best benefit to God? I know that we are to edify each other and you should find a good fit for that, but if you are striving to find the best place for you overall, then what you can do for God should factor in...

    How Does the Holy Spirit Indwell?

    It took some time, but I see that question in the bible in the form of you will know them by their works. The "Flashes" became "movies through my eyes." Those movies were true in every detail. Maybe they are visions or prophesy. Either way they are/were always correct. I lived that scene in...

    "Say Something Nice To The Person Above You"

    CF Pet Rescuer, you are appreciated more than you are told. Snowball looks happy! Keep up the good work. The animals were placed in out care by God. You are showing us the way. Though they walk through the valley of the shadow of death they will fear no evil.:thumbsup:

    How Does the Holy Spirit Indwell?

    This is what I was wanting to say while reading the previous posts. ty I was taught (in elementary bible class) to believe that the bible is equal to the Holy Spirit. I believe this is a mistake brought about by the formal debates of the late 60s. This point of the Holy Spirit being equal to...

    Why is gay sex still a sin

    The reason this is still being discussed, IMO, is that people are not taking the bible literally. I am against doing something that displeases God. I find out what displeases God by reading the bible. Some people are not of that perspective. The bible clearly shows that marriage is for one man...

    Can someone explain to me how religion...

    My opinion is that religion has caused more harm that good. The reason is that harmful religion has been entirely created by mankind's imagination. Christianity is not a religion. Having said that, I feel its a moot point. The question is irrelevant to me as I'm one of the good guys (aka...

    The Church You Know

    I'm not sure if this is a spoof. I worked 8 AM - 8 PM every Sunday on coffee duty among other things (while unemployed) and never heard of this. I hope no one ever gets this wrong and stops eating the donuts.:yum:
