    I did somethin' bad again, perhaps unforgivable

    Right, He that is in us is more powerful than he is, but alone we are powerless. If Satan wasn't more powerful than us, would so many people be dead in sin? Something I dont understand about that, it says we are free to blaspheme Jesus and the Father, but not HS, but aren't those three the same...

    Women Preachers?

    Well, I have posted in a little while and during that time some interesting viewpoints have risen. I shall make one more point: Would you rather go to church that has a man preacher who doesn't know too much about what hes talking about or the has a female preacher that has a deep understanding...

    A question for the deep biblical thinker

    Well, personally, I believe that even if you were to die today, you would still have towait until Judgement day, but I think there are others who believe otherwise. But my belief is that until the Rapture happens, no believer is judged beyond whether they get into heaven or not. They do not go...

    I did somethin' bad again, perhaps unforgivable

    I did somethin' bad again, perhaps unforgivable

    As far as I know, nothing is unforgivable, especially not that. Everyone messes up and everyone goes through times of doubt. Also, 12volt is right about the "subliminal messages" People of generations before us despised rock and then went about finding a reason to make it a sin. And now, rock...

    Which Translation Of The Bible Do Teens Prefer?

    I prefer NLT (easy to understand) or NIV (the translation my pastors use). Of course depending on the individual, the denomination, etc, could change the circumstances.

    Hillsong Church

    Never attended Hillsongs (although I plan on attending one of their churches if I ever get the chance), but I love their music (one of their songs (tell the world) was being sung the first time I went into my church for youth and I can say that that song played a part in my salvation). I think...

    Leviticus is one of the books of Moses, correct? Now, did Christ not cast down that law and make drastic changes????

    Women Preachers?

    Wow, strong debate we have here! Im going to bring this up with my Pastor later, but this is what I have for now: Countless females were used in the Bible to preach the word. People tend to always take various scriptures in the bible out of context. At least half of what the Bible says has a...

    Still can't speak in tongues, very discouraged...

    Oh really, check this out: As said in 1 Corinthians 14, when you speak in tongues you shall not be understood. What it says in Acts 2 ("6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they...

    your thoughts on tattoos

    Well, a guy at my church has Isaiah 1:18 on his arm. I beleive that this does glorify God, so, in that sense, getting a tatoo is okay?

    Assemblies of God

    One word about the female pastor thing: Why not!?!? As long as the Senior Pastor is male, doesn't it still obey the rules that say the man is head of house? Personally, I think most Pentecostals take everything too seriously, I enjoy the AG churches, female pastors and all ^_^ I mean, if a...

    Pentecostals views on tithing?

    that 10% issue not only is to give back to the one who gave us everything, but to show our loyalty and our obediance. After all, the LORD does not actually need our money. The 10% does not have to be in money either, but whatever we have. effort, money, time, whatever.
