    "Let There Be Light"

    thank you for those kind words, I've reached that point from being convicted of my own evil heart (Jeremiah 17:9), a thirst for the truth, and a recognition that people aren't going to be open to changing their minds unless you demonstrate that you are willing to listen to them

    How worldly is too worldly?

    Arunma had a good point that is worth repeating: God is first and foremost concerned with your heart attitude as to what is discussed in the Bible, the specifics were for another culture, so as you're studying your Bible, ask God to show you the principles He wants you to follow, and ask mature...

    How worldly is too worldly?

    as a man, I find women who wear tight shirts and short skirts/shorts to be distracting. This is a real temptation for men, it is tough for a guy to keep from looking at a woman's body, so my advice would be to watch out from that angle as to jewelry, just watch out for gaudiness:keep it simple...

    How worldly is too worldly?

    My stand is that it must first be a personal decision based on God's working on your heart, but there are places where God may be calling you to GENTLY talk to another believer about their choices. if they are being self destructive in their choices, the loving thing is to bring it up to them...

    firstborn? when has there been a reference to an only child in the Bible? I can't think of one. and for legal type purposes, firstborn would be completely valid for an only child the word translated until has already been shown to have wider meaning, so there is a loophole there but unlike...

    No, a man is not saved until he has done something really bad, I was saying that if he is unrepentant about something really bad, then his acceptance of Jesus' propitiation was not complete. on the off chance that his prayer was genuine and complete (accepting his just condemnation, Jesus' full...

    I understand your reasons for believing James was saying works are necessary to keep your salvation if I remember properly, it was Luther that called the book of James an epistle of straw, but later understood that James wasn't talking about keeping your salvation, but rather works are the...

    "Let There Be Light"

    well done thank you, turnabout is fair play and I hope you mean it as much as I did first, I see a fundamental agreement of the OT and NT second, there are many almost contradictions that I have seen and caused me serious concern and prayer, but they all resolved themselves in either simple...

    amen:amen: much better put than mine it is God working in us to will and to do (can't remember the reference)

    first, let's take this in context Jas 2:14 ¶ What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? Jas 2:15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, Jas 2:16 and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and...

    "Let There Be Light"

    are you saying an infinite God would be easy to be understood by a finite creature? What I meant wasn't that it was nonsensical in a cool way, but that I could only get a faint glimmer of understanding, a sort of "I can't quite understand it, but it feels right and it fits the evidence"

    What exactly is Dispensationalism?

    the more I think about the church and Israel, the more I come to think that the bride of Christ is distinct from Israel this is a vague sort of understanding, so let me see if I can explain it decently- feel free to critique/clarify it if I think of the bride of Christ as being the entire body...

    the extra-expensive goose down pillows do, and so do some goose down mattress pads if you want a lot of them (not condoning tarring and feathering anyone)

    I'm undecided about how she looked, I first thought she looked like she was trying to look concerned and passionate, but my left-leaninng moderate brother thought she looked like a deer in the headlights I'm for Palin cause she can't lie well (can't even dodge the question without broadcasting...
