    Women in the pulpit?

    If membership is more important than teaching the truth than I do see something very alarming. Teaching the Truth isn't about the numbers of members, its all about the truth. II Pet 2:1-3, It talks about false teachers rising who will malign the way of the truth, and in their greed the...

    Women in the pulpit?

    You are referring, I believe, to the covering of the head. Its in Corinthians I believe. If you look into the context he is speaking about spiritual gifts, and he says a womans hair is her covering...to my knowledge the Bible does not mention a woman covering her face. One more thing, who are...

    Shellfish a Sin?

    I am just curious of your friend still feels the need to make animal sacrifices or keep the sabboth Holy? Does he stay home, keep the lights off, not work on Saterday? If he thinks you should still follow the dietary commands of the Old Law, he should keep them all. -Matt

    Have you been told you were healed and then you wern't???

    I also agree with the point that Benny Hinn makes millions, and yet the apostles were men who had a treasure in heaven...like a Christian should. Although I will not say that all "healers" are after money like Benny Hinn and some of the more popular and more rich "healers" Personally Benny Hinn...

    Have you been told you were healed and then you wern't???

    I am with you. The apostles and Jesus healed people in public that were known for being lame, blind or sick in some way. The people in the towns knew that the healed men were actually afflicted and so that could prove that Jesus and the apostles were the real thing. The "healers" we see...

    Women in the pulpit?

    Just because a woman cannot have a leadership role in the church, it in no way makes her less than a man. I think we can all agree that a man and a women work together to make a strong marriage, family, ect. We see that Aquilla and Prescilla took Apollos aside and instructed him. We see Mary M...

    lesbianism might be permissible?

    Instead of seeing the truth of the Bible on this topic, which is very clear...you change to truth to see what you want to see...this saddens me.

    The Rapture

    How about we start another discussion on Catholic Prayer to "Saints" or anything along those lines, and start back up with the Rapture...I am finding all the informative discussion and debate to be very interesting. -Matt

    The Rapture

    Thanks all, this is what I was looking for when I started this thread...I would be interested in hearing what biblical reasons are given for those who do not think it happens this way. I will look at the Bible and compare the verses given in the above posts when I get off of work and see what...

    Is baptism necessary to be saved?

    Hey Aaron - its Matt your old debate partner. I agree, God is love, but God cannot be in the presence of sin. Just because we sin doesn't mean God doesn't love us. I do agree the Bible teaches baptism is a necessary step for us to receive forgiveness of our sins(Acts 2:38) and many others...

    God and War :)

    By the way, thanks for defending our freedom, that takes loads of courage...I think you are doing a very admirable thing!

    God and War :)

    There are many examples of war in the Bible. I think anyone would have a tough case proving it to be wrong, its whats in your heart. War isn't wrong, but if you love killing or something...that would be different. -Matt

    The Rapture

    I really had no clue, I knew it had to do with the 2nd coming, but I always see things about people just disappearing...I don't know the details. I guess I see alot about that left behind stuff. Thats why I started the post, information.

    The Rapture

    So that is it, none of my other questions apply? Thankyou though, I admit I did not know Rapture meant taken away. That does help. -Matt

    The Rapture

    So the the Rapture is just a name that people gave to the 2nd coming of Christ? It doesn't imply anything more than this? It doesn't have anything to do with the whole left behind stuff? It doesn't have to do with people believing Earth lives on after this coming? If not, then thanks! -Matt
