    Who is the prophet in Deuteronomy 18:18?

    Have you ever been criticized by others for being Calvinists?

    I am involved in Campus Crusade for Christ here at Ohio University and I get it all the time. The weird looks, sighs, stares, and quite often, the look of admiration for being "bold". Whatever happens, it's very interesting to be 1 of about 5-6 professing Calvinists in a movement of 500+...

    Not too long ago, one of my Muslim friends mentioned the idea of jinn to me. He gave me a brief explanation because we had to get on to other discussions. So, would someone please explain to me the origin, importance, and relationships of jinn to Allah, man, and the angels. Thanks, steve

    Heathen Dawn, You said this earlier, Would you tend to agree with the Sankara's viewpoint on the Hindu religion? He divided the Brahman into two, nirguna and saguna Brahman. The first being Brahman without attributes and qualities and the latter being with attributes and qualities...

    The Truth About Salvation From Sin

    Hello <><, I think you were directing your post to me, but I am unsure. However, I feel that I need to clarify what exactly was in question of nagantmosin's post. I will try to keep this post brief. In my earlier post I wrote, "...do you believe that one unconfessed sin can keep...
