    The cross

    As to the OP I'm sure Jesus has no problem whatsoever with us remembering Him through the display of the cross. The cross represents the singlemost beautiful and powerful gesture of love in the history of creation. BTW the anagram is ICHTHUS (ICQUS) ICQUS = IHSOUS (JESUS) CRISTOS (CHRIST) QEOS...

    Which is the correct version of the Bible?

    There are many of us who believe in a literal interpretation but not a hyper-literal interpretation of the scriptures (We believe in the plenary verbal inspiration of the original autographs but understand the difficulties inherent in ALL of the translations). The difference really boils down to...

    Where do Babys go when they die

    You know, there have been some wonderfully well reasoned posts here, but I'm truly surprised that the posts of FAITH ALONE seem to have slipped under everyone's radar. Look at the post on page 2 of the thread. The closest thing to a definitive example of scriptural support for the idea of...

    When was the law of moses voided?

    In Matthew (I believe it's 5:17) Jesus says he did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. But there are MANY passages that show us that adherence to the moral aspects of the law are still what is expected of us as followers of Jesus. grace and peace

    blasphemy against the Holy Ghost

    The way I understand it you have nothing to be concerned about, SC. I don't mean to sound cavalier but my impression of what Christ was talking about was, as I said, a steadfast refusal to accept the truth of Jesus. If you have accepted Him into your heart then all is forgiven. The spirit in...

    OT & NT Canon

    Believe it or not the book claims basis on "historical fact". However, a quick examination should tell ANY bible believing christian what a fallacy that is. Deeper examination should even convince even skeptics. Do some research on Pierre Plantard...

    Proof Genesis is not Literal in every sense...

    Hi, Alchemist, & thanks for your reply... If we base our theological principles only on scripture verbatim then many important precepts would not exist (the Trinity, for instance), not to mention the fact that translations would be even more troublesome than they are, if not impossible. I...

    The better Bible

    This is an assumption made by many which has less evidence to support it than you might think. The findings in Q'umran illustrate just how accurate the translations have been over a thousand years or so. The modern versions (mainstream, that is) are, while not perfect, VERY accurate, especially...

    blasphemy against the Holy Ghost

    In the context of the verse, it seems Jesus is refering to the Pharisees' steadfast refusal to believe that He was indeed the Christ. The Pharisees were legalists and therefore knew the scripture well enough to recognize the Son, had their hearts not been so hard. grace and peace

    Christian Drinking

    The Bible never says that drinking alcohol is a sin, no matter what anyone may tell you. The points made about alcohol illustrate that drinking is a "slippery slope" and a really bad idea. I am a literalist (but not a hyper-literalist, and there IS a difference) and the scipture does NOT say...
