    How can you believe in God?

    Well said.

    How can you believe in God?

    Agreed. If you go by Scripture, which is all we have that is definite, though sometimes a bit hazy. Hold up right there my brother! Quit trying to put words in my mouth! I describe Him as a holy, just, and loving God, perfect in all those attributes but above all holy. I do not judge Him for...

    What Bible do you use?

    Our church uses KJV, Defenders study Bibles in the Pews. We have all sorts of Bibles at home, we are both students. I like to compare the footnotes in different editions, KJV we have a Nelson, Defender, and Ryrie. We also have a NKJV and a couple parallel editions. I use the e-Sword...

    How can you believe in God?

    Is that what I wrote? No, you may not assume that. Then read my previous post (post #26) again. I have the same question, how can a just God condemn someone who has never heard the Gospel? There is no answer for you, anything you get will be an opinion. Scripturally, the answer has to be...

    How can you believe in God?

    Bottom line? The muslim in question was a sinner just as you are a sinner and God ows him nothing but hell, just the same as you. :) You can use this as an excuse to not believe or to hate God in your irrational, mortal mind. But remember this, if there is a God, and if He is the same as...

    What is/are your favorite Bible verse/s?

    I have to say I find inspiration in many verses at various times but one that has stuck with me is Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

    Can Catholics, Orthodox and Jews be saved?

    Sure, why not? As long as they have surrendered to Christ then nothing else matters. They could wash feet, talk in tongues, or handle snakes if it makes them feel good. However...I have to wonder how someone that is truly saved and indwelled by the Holy Spirit could still subscribe to much of...

    Ordained Minister after divorce and an affair- Baptists approve?

    Heh heh, I think you lost me! Predestination? I thought we were talking about whether a divorced man can be a pastor? Anywho...I do not believe you even fully read my first post in here as you seem to misunderstand what i said. The son willingly stepped down from his position as pastor even...

    Ordained Minister after divorce and an affair- Baptists approve?

    Yes, God did not create man with reason. I think your question has been answered then, you can argue Scripture either way.

    Ordained Minister after divorce and an affair- Baptists approve?

    I have not read all 4 pages of this thread only the first couple posts and the last post made by the OP. I do not have an answer, but I do have a story. Our church is an independent, fundamental, Bible believing Baptist church which has had the same pastor for 18 years now. He is what I...

    Who Created God?

    God, by definition, is eternal. This means He always was and always will be. He is what is called a necessary being. God was the first cause, you cannot ascribe this cause to anything else. If you believe in God, an eternal being, then you have no problems. If you do not believe in God then...

    How can you believe in God?

    Hello Gentlemen, Interesting argument and one that will probably not be resolved. Meanwhile the OP is now probably completely disillusioned with Christianity. JohnDeereFan, you did a commendable job with your initial response to the OP. As I was reading it I was thinking I could be writing...
