    The Passion of the Christ

    I guess I'm just against MINDLESS violence... which is the case with most movies... movies in which the violence is necessary to movies like Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, etc... Movies like Resevoir Dogs, Cheerleader Massacre, or House of 1000 Dead are not... In faith in peace...

    BFC

    I was just curious... My wife and I turned off our T.V. over a year ago and for us it was one of the greatest things we ever did. Since that time, God has moved so much in our lives, and we are so much happier and at peace then before. We still watch DVD movies, but we went through our...

    BFC

    I'm sorry Heather, I was not at all intending to insinuate ANYTHING about any poster here... My comments were specifically against Michael Moore and my suprise that people on a Christian forum would believe anything Michael Moore has to say... I apologize if it came across as a flame... I...

    BFC

    Are any of you aware that Michael Moore is one of the biggest liars in Hollywood? Bowling for Columbine contains numerous instances where MM chopped and spliced footage to present non-contigous dialogue as part of one speech... MM routinely lies to people to get them on camera, and then takes...

    The Last Trumpet

    I'm must curious, why you think the King of the North is Iraq, instead of Iran? With Saddam Hussein gone, the biggest supporter of anti-Isreali terrorism is Iran. Also, I agree that the little-horn is anti-christ, satan, the beast, etc... Finally, I'm curious if anyone here understands the...

    How and when is the AntiChrist sealed in the bottomless pit before Revelation 17?

    Hello everyone, Wow... there are some really different views in here... There are interpretations of scripture that I would never have even guessed at in a thousand years... To answer the question of the original poster regarding the Beast of Revelations 17, it is Anti-Christ himself...

    The Last Trumpet

    Hello all, I have a couple of questions/comments... Why do people who beleive in the rapture believe that Christians are going to be 'taken' away? From everything that I have read in which something is 'taken' away, the things taken are the 'tares', to be tossed into the fire... so that...

    Pat Robertson and the Left Behind Series

    I do believe that we existed before this "earth-age" with God. The first "earth-age" was the age which existed before the foundations of this "world", with the "world" meaning the current "heavens and earth which are reserved unto fire(2Pe 3:7), and that when Satan rebelled, some followed his...

    OSAS: Can salvation be lost?

    Hello all, I don't have specific responses to anyones posts... but I guess I believe that it is possible to 'lose' salvation. I believe that true salvation, which comes with Godly Repentence, can not be earned, and it is most definately not something we have in our power to achieve... Only...

    Pat Robertson and the Left Behind Series

    I'm sorry.. I did not mean to give the impression that I believed that our 'fate' has already been decided... I believe that anyone can choose to follow God or not.. However, you have to ask yourself... where do God's elect fit into this equation... Chosen before the foundations of the...

    Pat Robertson and the Left Behind Series

    You can't take these out of context... First lets look at what's going on here... Paul has written a letter to the churches in Thessalonia... in which he covers many subject... Chapter 4 has to do with exhorting the Thessalonians "to walk and to please God". This particular subject...

    Pat Robertson and the Left Behind Series

    Here's a question for you.. Why do you think Christians need to 'escape' God's wrath? Why in fact, do we need to 'escape' anything? What exactly is God's wrath is going to be and what form is it going to take? Man, and here I thought I was just a Christian... whew... post-trib, pre-trib...

    Token Mel Gibson Thread

    Isa 8:14 And he [Jesus] shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Isaiah is saying here the Jesus will be a stumbling block to the Jews. Partially, because they want...

    OSAS: Can salvation be lost?

    Hello all, this is my first post... I think that when people say that Salvation is a gift from God, or being saved is by grace, that what this is refering to is Christ's sacrifice on the cross... In the OT, when people sacrificed animals for the remission of sins, they had to pay for these...
