Hi faceofbear. You are not on your own, stats show 65% of Christian young men have intentionally viewed inappropriate content in the previous 12 months and (from memory I think 30% have an addiction to it. Can I suggest a website that you might like to check out? Visit WWW.THEFIGHT.COM.AU where you will...

Thought and prayed about that alot but my wife and I wanted it dealt with within the church, and then the Baptist Union, which took way too long as it was but we did not want it to drag even longer through the courts. The Baptist Union wanted him gone right away but because this guy was mates...

Finally my wife and I feel free and that a cloud has lifted from over us. Praise God the man who sexually assaulted and abused my wife has been told to leave our church. Now the healing can begin without having to see him every week touching other women and girls in the place. We found out...

Currently reading: The Theme of the Pentateuch, Clines DJA and Four Gospels, One Jesus?, Burridge RA (Have read b4 but want to read again!)

I mainly use the NLT 2 for devotionals and general reading but for in depth study I use the NASB. I like the NLT for its readability and its accuracy. The NASB is a great literal translation for studies.

The Baptist church I currently go to is conservative. I would also consider myself the same - conservative. The pastor has Calvinistic beliefs but they do not come through the preaching very often, mainly through talking to him. I myself find there are many verses in the Bible that support both...

I ended up purchasing a Greek Interlinear with the NASB and NIV as well. It is the one by Mounce & Mounce. I am very happy with it. They use the NA/UBS Greek text. Thanks all for your advice!

I voted no. I do not believe women have to wear a head covering when praying. In fact in all the Baptist churches and other denominations I have visited I have never seen any women cover their head for praying. I believe it is a personal choice for the woman concerned, ie, if you want to, that's...

Thanks for the info guys. Logos is out of the budget at the moment, even on a payment plan. It is something I will purchase next year when I finish college and enter ministry.

I was wondering what the best Greek-English Interlinear would be to purchase? Or are there a few worth considering? ;) I have already on my bookshelf, The Englishman's Greek New Testament, using the Greek text of Stephens 1550, kjv and a literal translation, which I found in our church...

:ok:C'mon guys! We all know for a fact that aliens exist!!! You do all remember during the 1980's the appearance of an alien. ...........ET was his name!:sorry: He was that little alien who had no phone reception.......'Phone home!'

This is a genuine question. 'Is going to church on a Sunday a Scriptural command or a tradition?' I know the resurrection of Jesus was on a Sunday morning but where in the Bible does it say that Christians must go to church on a given day. What are your thoughts? :)

Just a quote I have heard once or twice. 'When you point the finger at someone there are three pointing back at you!' It makes you stop and think!

I know how you feel in a way. My wife and I have just experienced the horrible ordeal of a trusted friend and elder in our church betray us by trying to get it on with my wife. You can read all about that in the Baptist section in 'Feeling like giving up'. I know many Christians who make the...

Zman!, We all have to make choices everyday. We all get tempted to sin. It is whether we choose to sin or to reject the temptation that determines our future outcomes. Yes! God forgives the sinner, if they are truly repentent but sometimes sins have a way of having long lasting consequences...

I love Jesus

Easy answer......NO, NO WAY , NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!:thumbsup: There would be no circumstance that I would put my children under the care of a repented child molester. It would be a temptation to the person and they might just sin. They might not, but why take a chance.:preach:

I am very sorry to bring this up again. You would think after being told to lay hands off the ladies and losing your eldership and all other ministries that would make a point!!!:confused: Sunday morning at church my dad saw the 'evil elder' with his hand on a 16/17 year old girls bottom-...

I am a conservative Baptist so I hope I can post here??? Our church has just run a full day child safety programm for all of us who work with youth and children. It was on signs to look out for in regards to abuse (all areas of) and neglect. Isnt it sad that as a church we would have to look...
