It is nothing but hyprocrisy to claim to be concerned about debate...then stir the pot of controversy. You really don't have the skillset to...

    The scriputure shall plead my cause. 1 Tim 5:1 5:1 Rebuke NOT an elder, but INTREAT him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; This is Jesus's position on correction. Rev 3:19 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. It was the same way under the...

    I agree. It's documented fact you were involved in the debate. What's sad about the whole thing is that you are justifiying yourself when it is evident that you are guilty of the same things you are judging others for. You even take a further step in said judgement by projecting YOUR motives...

    The testimony and fate of the early apostles

    Does any one have a good link to the fate of each of the early apostles(including Paul) I realize the scripture doesn't go into much detail on this issue but I don't have a problem with reading historical accounts. Does any one have any links? I'm off to work so I don't have time for a quick...

    why is sexual immorality such a plague today?

    I would like to know the answer to this one. This is my main struggle. I know the cross is the answer...denying the flesh. This temptation just pounds on me. I don't think marriage is the answer. I have talked to married men and they say they are pounded also.and

    Can you answer this question?

    Good question. It would be nice if we didn't have that ole sin nature eh? Because he doesn't violate free will. He desires that we choose to deny ourself for him daily.The sin nature is a good proving ground for faith. It allows faith to be purified and tested. I wish he would erradicate it...

    *Warning Label* (this is a long post :D ) er...you mean like this one? 1)Because they claim they know a subject but get offended when they are proved wrong. 2)Because they claim to seek truth but scorn it when it comes to them, 3)Because they judge others but do the EXACT same things and even...

    I just never understood what it means....

    You have failed to show scriptual precedent and backing for your "opinion". I therefore conclude that you have beliefs which do not need a scriptual foundation. You cannot deal with my position with scripture.Your opinion needs a english translation as a filter to stand. The original greek is...

    I just never understood what it means....

    Acts 19:1-2 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, 2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard...

    What do you do when....

    Be careful of this trap. You have some very VALID concerns but in this issue I think you are in the flesh. I'll tell you why. I can't see God on his throne in heaven saying" I just can't stand these songs...the tempo is too slow" Jesus told the woman at the well that they that worhip God must do...

    How do we become perfect?

    HaHa..right don 't respond. Because we CAN become perfect. I think the key is humility. We only receive grace thru humilty. Grace empowers us to love one another. If we are perfect we are perfect in love.
