    How do you baptise in a house church?

    Hi Zanting, I hope you have had a reply by now, if the church you attend demands that a baptism be carried out by a "recognised" minister, don't walk out.....run out of that church/denomination, and find a church that is centred around the Word, and not tradition. Oberland

    Another question about the purpose driven life!

    My church is going to do the purpose driven life (TPDL), in February/March time, it seems to be an all encompassing teaching, every one will need to have a copy of TPDL as all teaching home groups etc will be centred around the teachings in this book, my concern is while I recognise that there...

    against breast implants (and similair plastic surgery)

    Hi Flashskeletal, I have a problem in being against cosmetic surgery, because while I agree that it can be a form of vanity, if we were to ban cosmetic surgery on those grounds then we should also ban the wearing of make up, and any clothing that would appear “worldly” We could end up not far...

    Born Agains and Catholics

    Hi rick0824, I lifted this statement from a messianic community website, Saltshakers "Most people (including Orthodox Jews) define a Jew as someone born to a Jewish mother. Under the Israeli Law of Return it is not your degree of faith in Judaism that defines your Jewishness but your Jewish...

    Okay, moral question

    It all depends on your intent when you made your decision to fast, if your intention is to limit or stop playing for a seven day period, then it would be ok to play, but as mentioned above you need to tell any other gamers involved that you are taking a time out from gaming, but you will be back...

    Slavery

    From your cryptic reply, I am assuming that you dispute the figures given by government agencies and Christian organisations, that slavery is more active today than in the past (by the way, I am in no way using the present deplorable situation to mitigate the shameful behaviour of my country in...

    Is using marijuana a sin?

    On a related issue, As a Christian, I used to get drunk every weekend, then on one Sunday/Monday morning I awoke from my drunken stupor, and thought if someone were to knock on my door, and ask, “is there were a Christian in the house” I would have been ashamed to say yes in that...

    Born Agains and Catholics

    Hi rick0824, The true basis of Christianity is Christ, and that I think sums up the difference between those who put their trust in their eternal destination on Christ’s atoning death, and those people, Catholic or otherwise who put their trust in a denomination or belief system...

    Slavery

    Hi all, Today, at least in England we “celebrated the abolition of slavery” unfortunately it soon became apparent that slavery has not been abolished at all, but is in fact more prevalent than ever. Three thoughts came to me: Man can pass (and has passed) as many laws as...

    Why There Cannot Be Predestination

    Hi Matthen, One view that you might want to think about is, when man fell from grace in the garden, he fell completely, and is unable to have a saving relationship with God, therefore being cut off from the presence of God, all of mankind is deserving of Gods anger, however God in his...

    Basic Principle of Bible Interpretation - Matthew 4:5-7

    Hi all, I saw this and I thought it might be helpful: Pro 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Pro 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. I don’t think that these passages are contradictory...

    Basic Principle of Bible Interpretation - Matthew 4:5-7

    Hi DRA, One of the unique things about the Bible is its ability to teach different things to different people from the same passage, depending on where they are in their walk with the Lord, truly the living Word! Given the above, one take on that passage is that Jesus was being...

    Tarot Cards, Crystals, etc.

    Hi Catlover, I think that Tarot cards and other occult devices have very real power, and because of this our Father tells us in Deuteronomy 18 that we are not to have anything to do with the occult or people who practice such arts, if there were no danger then I don’t think our...
