    Sexism and Religion

    I think this simplifies things beautifully: Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Even before I came to Christ, I thought, "Can't we just all respect each other equally as human...

    Discussion Hebrew Roots; error or something else?

    If you would like to hear a sermon on the Hebrew Roots movement, with lots of scripture, here is Pastor Mike Hoggard: He has done several programmes on this subject. I'd be interested to hear what others think of his position.

    Can I be Christian and Not Believe the Bible?

    Hello Givemeareason I am always thrilled to hear of someone appreciating Jesus' beautiful life and teachings. You can just take Him as a great moral teacher - He was. I think many professing Christians do just that - follow what people call the 'Social Gospel'. If you do, you will likely live a...

    What does it take to be an online Christian?

    I'm sorry to hear that you are sometimes unwell - does rest help? I have ME/CFS and the only thing that will sort it is rest, and not going over my limit of energy for the day.

    Good to hear you, Catherineanne. I take your point about the preaching. You could argue also that the Gospel has been preached in this country. Certainly the way we live our lives is important.

    What does it take to be an online Christian?

    Hello Christopher Thank you for your very warm welcome and your touching testimony about your care for your mother. My mother is just 84 and has twice as much energy as me! But I hope that when the time comes I will be able to care for her as devotedly as you have done your mother. We all...

    What does it take to be an online Christian?

    Hello everyone Greetings and blessings from me! I started this thread on an impulse, but I think it is a serious question. Our Lord Jesus Christ gave us the Great Commission: (Mark16:15) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. I would be...
