    Air Marshall Fired Shots

    Yea I read it, but I also read several other reports that support the actions of the Air Marshalls. http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/12/08/airplane.gunshot/ It is easy to put down actions of police, but I am glad they are there to protect me. I think it is good to know that they are willing to do what...

    Biggest Threat to Christianity???

    Because God's Word tells us that's not how it happened. I don't understand you people who pick and choose which parts of the Bible to believe. I believe in a God of miracles. If God put it into His Word, then I believe it. Quote Originally Posted by: artybloke Well, put it this way, when I...

    Witnessing Help!

    Again, I can't stress enough the power of prayer! Pray that God will work a miracle in your youth group. Pray for your friends specifically, calling out there name to God. When you are with them, try to avoid arguments, but remain steadfast to your beliefs. I know that is hard to do, but God...

    what do you believe?

    The church I go to doesn't make people feel that way. We praise God that he is a forgiving God. If we got into heaven because we deserved it we would all be in trouble. But God is gracious to forgive. I am secure in my salvation and you should be too. God Bless You!

    Inlaw Appreciation Thread

    My Father in Law didn't like me at first, so we didn't get along very well, but I made peace with him as he was dying in the hospital. Don't wait for that to happen is my advice. My mother in law was blind so we ended up seeing her a lot. We became good friends. She has since gone to be with the...

    Anybody Not Get Married in a Church?

    My wife and I got married in my parents house. My father was a minister and my brother is a minister so they both married us. My sister is very special to me so she was my "best man". It was my 3rd marriage and my wife's 4th. Both of us had lived lives outside of God's will for several years...

    what do you believe?

    I was saved when I was a young boy. I know that I was saved then. Later on after high school I went to Vietnam and got into drugs and alcohol. I have been married 3 times. About 20 years ago my wife left me and our 2 kids for a man who had more drugs than I did. I'm not telling you this to gain...

    Parents Problem

    I strongly agree. You might be a spiritually mature individual, but your parents have the advantage of years to become wise. If you pray for the situation and if it is God's will that you do this, then it will happen. But right now you need to listen and accept your parents counsel. God Bless You.

    what do you believe?

    Believers are born again (regenerated) when they believe (John 3:3; Titus 3:5). For a Christian to lose his salvation, he would have to be un-regenerated. The Bible gives no evidence that the new birth can be taken away. (d) The Holy Spirit indwells all believers (John 14:17; Romans 8:9) and...

    Witnessing Help!

    Before you do any kind of witnessing, you must pray. Pray that the Holy Spirit goes before you and opens the person's heart. If the Holy Spirit does not go before you that person will not get saved. You have received some good advice here. All these things are effective. Planting a seed is a...

    Anne Rice new book: "Christ The Lord"

    That's great, but if you go to her website, she still is proud and promotes her vampire chronicles. If she truly repented wouldn't she want to destroy her previous works?

    Homosexuality and Christianity

    There is no such thing as a "Homosexual Christian" There is a CHRISTIAN only. Homosexuality is a sin. Just like sex outside of marriage is a sin. There are many sins! Just because we are Christians doesn't mean we never sin anymore, but we have Christ to help us get past the sin and worship God...

    hell, heaven, gods name questions from a friend

    I'm a little confused by your post. At the beginning of it you make a statement that Hell is a seperation from God, not a fiery place. But at the end you tell the person to look at the passage about Lazarus and the Rich man. Didn't the rich man ask God to send Lazarus for a finger dip of water...
