Due to time constraints, I am leaving Christians Forums. Although it would be easier to just leave quietly, I do want to say Thanks for some who have made an impact me. The following in particular have made a wonderful contribution to my mind and spirit over the past several months...

I suppose it depends on the manner you attempt to end it. But, in principle, no I don't. If one employs coercion, then I'm obviously against that.

It never ceases to amaze me how the human condition in community seems so adept at gravitating from one extreme to another. From my observations this appears to be true in most walks of life, theology not excluded. Prior to the advent of the Pentecostal/Charismatic revivals in the 20th...

John's gospel is my favorite. Since I am convinced that John the disciple wrote the book, it provides me with great assurance that this is the apostolic witness to the Word who became flesh and dwelt amongst us.

I prefer the Engish Standard Version. I would highly recommend it. I also like the NIV translation.

Mark

Hebrews

Philippians

Happy birthday Oscarr!! Just want you to know that I appreciate your contibutions to the forums!!

Happy Birthday Dana!! I hope your day is very special and trust that God will richly bless you!! jc

Huh? Please explain.

I definitely think Scriptures have priority. They are God's inspired Word. I do think, however, that reason, experience and tradition are important tools in developing our theology. They are clearly in my mind subordinate to Scripture though in terms of being authoritative for faith and...

Well, Simon does have credentials, and he is one of my favorite posters, but Jim definitely has credentials too. They both have history degrees and are both excellent interpreters of history. We are most fortunate to have both of them gracing our forum. I personally owe a huge debt to them...

Trish, the prayer journal was very interesting. Thanks for posting the website. Washington for obvious reasons is my favorite founding father. This summer, I read a couple of books about him, and my admiration only grew. The strange thing about Washington, and Madison for that matter, is...

Trish, I apologize. I did misinterpret your remarks. I don't know why people would call Washington a Deist or Arheist. Certainly, no Christian historian would that I know of at least. But, Trish several of the Founding Fathers were in fact Deists or Unitarians. Now, they all seem to have...

Trish, this is a profoundly sad post. Christian historians like Mark Noll, Bruce Shelly and Nathan Hatch are not influenced by the spirit of the Anti-Christ. These men are born again Christians who have committed their lives to the study of history. I assure you that they have more contextual...

I am profoundly sorry for your loss. May the Holy Spirit comfort you during this sad time. I love you NewSong, and I will pray for you and your daughter. jc

Jim, this is one of the very few times that I want to disagree with you, but I can't. I too have an undergraduate degree in history, and I have to sadly agree with you that the vast majority of our founding fathers were not Christians. From what I can remember from reading Mark Noll's earlier...

Theophilus7, God bless you in your new endeavors. I will keep you in my prayers. I just want to say that you are one of my all time favorite posters here on Christian Forums. Thank you for all of your contributions!
