VinceJohn — Your point is about the commandments, the litteral commandements, not being taught so much in churches... The method of preaching in today's church seems to be more topical, because most of the Old Testament commandments were amplified and explained by Jesus, and other than this, I...

Here's a Christian article that accurately answers the questions about women in ministry... http://www.charismamag.com/a.php?ArticleID=756

That's exactly right! :thumbsup:

Traditionally and culturally, the English word "fornication" has come to mean premarital sex or sex outside of marriage, but in the original Bible language, the word fornication actually means "sexual immorality" - which really is anything prohibited or considered sexual sin in GOD's Word, like...

Well said! Another good point on this topic - very accurate.

I think CaliforniaJosiah summed it up pretty well! As far as I see it, if you can seperate masturbation from lust (which IS a sin) and it isn't controlling you or damaging your walk with Christ or relationships with others, then you are free do so. Extreme in any area isn't good. Depriving...

"When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. ... After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother...

The point of faith, is that there is no way to know if GOD was telling the truth in His Word, you have to take Him at His Word. If there was a way to prove whether or not GOD was lying, it wouldn't be faith. Here's a challenge for you though, read through the entire Bible, cover to cover, just...

LOL! :D I'm going on the assumption that you are serious, but your question "Is this talking about sex toys in the image of a male?" really cracked me up. I mind would have never seen that possibility in that Scripture had you not said that, so it was really unexpected to read it put like that...

This is not an issue of salvation. If you are saved, tithing or not tithing won't change that. But it is a way of honoring GOD's will. Yes, we are under the New Covenant, but GOD gave us ALL of His Word, not just half. Jesus didn't nullify the Law, He just fulfilled it. GOD is the same...

I'm only new here by a couple of months myself - welcome!:cool:

In my opinion... The Word of God is our foundation and source. It alone is the final authority in determining all truth. GOD's written words, in their original writing and meaning, are both inspired by the Sprit of GOD and are inerrant. II Timothy 2:16; Hebrews 4:12; Psalms 12:6; 119; Proverbs...

As far as what I think can be done to save souls for Christ depends on where each believer is in the world, and what people group they are with. As Paul puts it "...I have become all things to all people, so that I may by all means save some..." (I Corinthians 9:9-23). Wherever a follower of...

Jig — These are the best logical arguments that I've ever heard on this issue! Especially the simple fact you mentioned: "...why would the sexual union of the "sons of God" and "daugthers of men" produce supersized humans? Unless "sons of God" were fallen angels." I'd have to agree with this...

Dad Ernie - Thanks for your reply! well, I understand what you are saying, and that completely makes sense spiritually, but I guess what I was asking is about the possibility of demons "sowing their seed" physically. Satan and demonic spirits can spiritually corrupt, abuse, and blind people -...

Ok - this has been something I've been trying to get a hold of for a long time now, so I finally decided to turn to other Christians to see what they think. Genesis 6:1-4 seems like major info just thrown into the God's Word without the necessary explaination to understand it. The part that...

Since there really aren't supposed to be divisions / denominations in th Church, I've always viewed Christians who consider themselves "non-denominational" as those who want to strip away all the religious, man-made stuff of Christianity to just follow Jesus Christ via God's Word and Holy...

I saw this in a church once - the pastor's wife was the praise & worship leader, she was young and in great shape - beautiful, and she dressed in very shapely outfits, short skirts, low-cut tops. There were complaints, but I think the pastor was proud of the way she looked, like a status or...

I used to have some serious road rage when I was younger, until one day, a slow car pulled out in front of me on a winding two-lane highway and I couldn't pass them for the longest time, and then they turned off and right around the corner from where they turned off was this incredible car...

Yep - I've read the Hobbit, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the Silmarillion several times. They are great! I think they really bring out the richness and vastness of history and time in our reality compared to God's. Allegory or not - you can definately see the parallels of Christianity in...
