    Anyone else feel this way?

    I really do appreciate all the feedback I've gotten from this. It is relieving to know that I am not alone in my thoughts. I look around me and I feel that I am the only one that sees these things. Thanks.

    Anyone else feel this way?

    ...wow...I have to say that I'm surprised, and also relieved. I imagined that I'd be getting flamed for saything something like I did. I realize that there are "churches of every flavor" out there. And that seems to strike me wrong. With this current trend, each individual can decide what...

    Anyone else feel this way?

    So is anyone else absolutely and utterly disgusted with the way the Church is these days? I would have to say that I am utterly repulsed by it, and I even grew up in the church. Just wondering what your thoughts are. Also, what benefit you actually see in this systematic, institutionalized...

    Everyone saved by grace, then who goes to hell?

    "sinners go to hell" is not a correct statement because (just as you pointed out) we are all sinners. Those that hell is reserved for, are those that do not acknowledge Jesus as Lord and Savior. In not acknowledging (accepting) him, they reject him.

    Seminary

    Word on the street about DTS is that they are questioning whether or not they are dispensationalist or ultra-dispensationalist. I would question going to a school that is questioning their stance on this issue seeing that they have been adament about dispensationalism. From my understanding...

    Everyone saved by grace, then who goes to hell?

    Firefall stated - ""Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." Matthew 12:12b -sigh. When looking at the scripture, you cannot take it out of context. The context of this passage you quoted is that the Pharisees were saying that it's unlawful to pick grain on the Sabbath, (because it...

    Everyone saved by grace, then who goes to hell?

    honor the sabbath. Just read the text for what the text says. The text is completely in reference to the power that Christ is using to cast out demons. [Matt 12:25-32]

    Everyone saved by grace, then who goes to hell?

    Just to clarify, we are not under the Law of the OT, as in the 613 laws, however Christ reaffirmed and ammended 9 out of the 10 Ten Commandments which we are to follow (he also ammended others as well.) So if we murder someone, we do break the law (that Christ reaffirmed) but..yes we are still...

    Tithing

    The first thing I would want to know, is where does this person get the basis for this assumption? I understand that there are examples of this taking place in the Scripture, however I have yet to find a Biblical mandate for this to take place. In my studies I have actually found that tithing...

    angry at God

    argyleman - you asked if God can still love someone that has been so angry with him. I just want to remind you that Paul used to go "door to door" to hunt Christians and then kill them. This man, for the most part, single-handedly spread the gospel to the Gentiles. God used this man who was...
