    Reverend Billy Graham Dead at 99

    I was very surprised to find people on other threads bashing Billy Graham for using the "sinners prayer"? What difference does it make if the person is repentant and comes to Jesus if he says a simple prayer?

    1 Corinthians 15

    Question: Paul says that he wanted to "...remind you of the gospel I preached to you...." Which gospel is he speaking of? Was it a letter to one of the other churches? Something he came up with extemporaneously not written down previously? I know he follows it up to explain he spoke about the...

    How many kids do u have?

    We just had number 5 in July. The other four are such a handful, I need a crash course on discipline. We can't even consider another right now.

    Skype/Facetime?

    Thank you, I think it would be awesome. And I just want to learn, so being a Catholic is no obstacle for me. You can be sure I won't be trying to sway anyone on the merits of the catholic perspective. I want to learn. Maybe I should post something similar to my original post in the Baptist area...

    Skype/Facetime?

    Hi! Are there any groups studying the Bible via Skype or using some other online means to get together? I mean, there are so many possibilities nowadays, like minded individuals can get together from all across the country and have their own bible study. I find it difficult to find any in my...

    Old Timey hymns? Anyone do them anymore?

    Hi all, I am just curious if there are any churches or denominations that don't go the rock band route. Was looking for a more traditional, old timey hymn then teaching type of thing. Not so much the drums and guitar and the hand waving kind of thing. Thanks.

    Please pray for me

    I continue to fall into sin. This sin doesnt have the hold on me that it used to, but still happens from time to time. Thank you.

    Romans Chapter One

    The heading in the NIV over Verse 18 is God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity In verse 16 he mentions both Jew and Gentile. So my question is from verse 18-32 is he speaking of the Gentiles or humanity? I'm also curious how did God make Himself known to the Pagans such as the Vikings? Thank you!

    Work out your salvation?

    I think I understand, I appreciate your comments. I'm a Catholic that has begun reading the Bible and I am noticing many things that lead me to believe I may have been going about this all wrong. Having been a Catholic for most of my 47 years I am terrified of making the wrong decision (moving...

    Work out your salvation?

    This is probably very basic for some of you, but I'm new to this, so.... We read in Phillippians 2:12 "Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." How can we do that if we...

    Wanting to fast :) need a bit of help though ^_^

    Just curiosity, but why do Christians fast if salvation is a free gift of God? What does fasting accomplish for a sola scriptura protestant? I thought only Catholics fasted? Thank you.

    The Bible Before the Printing Press

    I'm not looking to start an argument, but as a catholic who's been having doubts about his church, this is a serious question in my heart, head, soul, whichever. If Sola Scriptura is true, what did the earliest Christians (before the printing press) do? How were they able to read the Word of...
