    Movie about the scientific history of the universe?

    Hey, I just recently saw one quite like you're describing. It's called "Darwin's Dangerous Idea". It was great, although I think an even better one could and should be made.

    Is Spanking Teenagers for Discipline Appropriate?

    Yeah, laugh it up. It happens though. I was raised in an IFB church that incouraged spanking all the way up to the age of 20. The dictator of the church told everyone that in bible times you were considered a child up till the age of 20, thus using the "rod" on a teen was biblical, and the...

    Do you read viewpoints contrary to your own?

    No, by definition, I am a Fundamentalist. I suppose I should have said "we Fundamentalists". ;) Anyhow, I'm done with the post nitpicking.

    Do you read viewpoints contrary to your own?

    And who is the one making assumptions? No where did I single TwinCrier out, or purposely imply that she did not witness to homosexuals. I have no idea who she does or does not witness to. I'm just pointing out that naturally we avoid what we are afraid of. And again, concerning the labels, I...

    Do you read viewpoints contrary to your own?

    I do read quite a lot contrary to what has been shoved down my throat in my childhood church, and what I am comfortable believing. That is why my positions have changed on so many issues like King James Onlyism. I would just like to point out that Jesus was never afraid of any sinners. He ate...

    Why Should Women Wear Skirts?

    It is often a good idea to cite the place you copy information from -- leave a link... http://www.pricelesswoman.com/Other_Pages/What_About_Women_Wearing_Pants.html The truth is, logically, men started wearing pants when their skirts/robes were less practicle and later, the same thing...

    If I came to a Babtist church and did the following

    Currently, I don't have a church. I did come close to dumping Christianity. But because of the RENEWING power of the Christ, I did became a Christian in spite of horrible Baptist church experiences -- even one with Baptist beliefs. :)

    If I came to a Babtist church and did the following

    If you were to show up and do all that at the churches I attended in my childhood, you probably would have come close to ending up in the hospital. In one church, I surmise that the pastor would have summoned all the men of the church to physically make you leave; You would be asked to not...

    Good commentary on the Alexandria vs Antioch debate

    Yes, that is true. Although, I have a hard time taking him seriously after some of the things I have heard him say. He has lost some credibility ..to me at least. Anyways, I'll leave your thread. Sorry for taking it off the subject.

    Good commentary on the Alexandria vs Antioch debate

    Hagios17, mentioned he didn't like people picking at people's flaws. But I'm trying to say, the "flaws" matter. Whether it's Gail Riplinger or Samuel Gipp, if they are proving themselves untrustworthy, it is relevent to the arguement.

    Good commentary on the Alexandria vs Antioch debate

    How highly would you trust the teaching and instruction of an English teacher who never went to College, usually misspelled words on the blackboard, constantly used improper grammar, and told you things like "an adjective is a person, place, or thing"-- which you know is completely wrong? How...

    Good commentary on the Alexandria vs Antioch debate

    I've met Gip personally and heard him speak, and all I can say is, the man is a mean-spiritied heritic, a completely false teacher. I wouldn't trust anything he says.

    Do Babtists Often get a bad rep???

    Through my experience with Baptist churches, I must say any bad reputation they have acquired, is almost completely brought on by themselves and well-deserved. I am not entirely renouncing all affiliation quite yet, as I am *doctrinally* baptist, and there aren't currently any other churches...

    why dont IFB women wear hair coverings?

    The following text is taken from Wikipedia regarding the meaning of Legalism: In addition to the primary definition of legalism (in which it refers to works for salvation), the term "legalism" is commonly used to refer the view that adherence to certain manmade rules is necessary for moral or...

    Why Should Women Wear Skirts?

    Skirts are no less "worldly" than pants. The only difference between the two is 100 years. Your skirts today would have been looked upon as "worldly" by those who lived in ancient times.. I would also really like to know what is so modest about wearing clothes so that everytime the wind...

    Why Should Women Wear Skirts?

    If there's one thing that irritates me, it's seing "Christian" girls running around in nasty homemade dresses three sizes too big as well as dirty tennis shoes. That's not Christian, modest or feminine (not biblically "peculiar" either). That's ugly. This is neither a biblical issue nor a...

    Do any other denominations....

    I have a Presbyterian friend whose church vehemently enforces King James Only... I myself was quite surprised to discover that this inane KJVO rubbish exists outside of Baptist circles.

    24 year old twins sentneced to over 15 years for spanking a child

    I know an ex-member of the church where all this happened. She boohoos about it asks people to donate money to the church. She's convinced a lot of people too. She adamantly declares that the twins are not guilty, even though they did spank the kid. According to her, the kid was spanked brought...

    topless

    I know I'm probably not supposed to be posting here as I am not a parent, but I just have to say if it were me I would have done the same thing too. Wasp stings hurt worse than like... anything. A few weeks ago there was a nest in our backyard and I got stung on the neck, I was in...

    Book List

    I have read this. I don't really reccomend it myself. If you do read it, it is a good idea to have a few other books on hand as well: A critique of Gail Riplinger's scholarship and King James Onlyism by David D. Corner (Or if you're A King Jimmy Fan) New Age Versions: A Critique by David W...
