    Open-Source Christian Theology?

    This term came to me as I was looking at some information on the Internet today. In trying to find a clear definition for the word "open-source" I found some applications of the term used other then in the world of software development. As some of you know "open-source" describes a type of...

    Creationists: How certain are you of your interpretation of Genesis?

    I am 100% certain when I die I will be with our Lord in Heaven. Having heard the Gospel, believing it as all true and having the Holy Spirit indwell me. I am also 100% certain all this controversy will be useless then.

    Should Forgiveness Be Conditional?

    Jesus said to forgive 7X70 times. I think He meant always. Consequences for ones actions is different then forgiveness.

    Do you still sin as a Christian?

    Romans 7:14-25 14We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17As it is, it is no longer I...

    Why do Protestants re-baptize?

    I was once of a "Catholic" denomination and now am no longer. I was baptized as an infant. I do not remember it. The Bible states in a number of places to repent and be baptized. I do not think my first baptism counted because not being aware of the sin I was being cleansed of I could not have...

    is a belief in Hell necessary?

    Joykins asked if a belif in hell was necessary. From the passage I quoted in Matt 25 (which is not out of context because I quoted the whole passage and not 1 or 2 verses) it is very clear that Jesus Christ Himself said there is ETERNAL punishment and there is eternal life. I think if you asked...

    is a belief in Hell necessary?

    How is this derailling the OP? It was asked if it is necessary to believe in hell? You say no and I say yes. I have shown you scripture not my opinion to use as proof.

    is a belief in Hell necessary?

    Matthew 25:31-46 Pretty much says it all. It is Jesus Christ speking in that passage

    is a belief in Hell necessary?

    Matt 25 41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me...
