Basically, I’m looking for the difference between a Hebrew noun and a Hebrew adjective when it appears to be the same word. In English, “good” can be an adjective or noun, depending on how it’s used. Psalm 34:14 - “Depart from evil and do good.” Psalm 106:1- “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is...

For this question, I'm looking for someone well versed in the Koine Greek of the New Testament. I'm wondering about the meaning of "good" in a few passages - Matthew 19:17, Mark 10:18, and Luke 18:19 - where it says God is "good". All three have "agathos", and is defined as "good (in any...

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING This is solely for those who believe God does NOT love everyone. (I tried this in a different thread before, but it got closed before I could get more than one response, so I’m gonna try it again with my own thread.) If you believe God does NOT love everyone, I’d...

Most people believe that a literal Biblical creation account and science are diametrically opposed to one another. I came across a site with this FAQ of questions from atheists about faith & science: FAQA Of particular interest to me (and the main point of this thread) are questions 9 & 10...

I was reading this bug report, and the third post looks like it should be somewhere completely different.

We still have several people continue to disregard the Non-Denominational guidelines, and it really needs to end. If your name doesn't appear on the membership list - NO debating or teaching (defined in the guidelines), you may ONLY make fellowship posts. The ONLY exception to this for...

Any non-denominational Christians who want to join here and affirm our rules need to post in the "Non-Denominational Congregation Sign-In" thread. There are also several regulars who also should sign in (provided you also affirm the new rules) who haven't yet done so.

Someone had objected to Stone's posts, claiming he couldn't be a member here since he is Messianic. Is Messianic actually a "denomination"? Or, is it more of a general term, similar to "protestant"? According to Wikipedia - "As with many religious faiths, the exact tenets held vary from...

The CC rules only imply that one be Trinitarian in order to be a member (by adhering to the Nicene Creed), but don't expressly state it. The roster has a non-Trinitarian listed as a member (may have been changed already), and when someone asked about the Trinity in the sign-up thread, those who...

Make sure you all vote on this, it determines where CF is going. http://www.christianforums.com/t5787680

We talked about this, but never made and actual poll. This is to determine whether we want to limit voting to Non-Denom members, or allow anyone to vote on forum issues. Personally, I believe voting should be limited to those with the Non-Denom or the generic Christian/Protestant icons. I...

In another discussion, an issue about the Islamic afterlife has been raised. It would aid this discussion if I knew the answer to a question - Faithful Islamic men are rewarded with 70 virgins in the afterlife (if this is inaccurate, let me know). What is the reward for faithful Islamic women?

Read ExpatChristian's thread, "How can thinking Christians challenge the anti-intellectual assault" in the main Origins area. Is this not just plain hate speech? Just from the title, fundamentalists and creationists are "not thinking", and we are "anti-intelectual". Then in the main body, our...

A few months ago, my wife left, and the divorce went through earlier this month. Despite this, we had agreed to remain friendly with each other, and things have proceded that way ever since we split up. I last spoke to her Saturday morning, and everything was fine. Then, late Sunday night, I...
