    The Common Designer Challenge

    All six items are composed of quarks and leptons. Bingo! Common Designer... I dont see a picture for item e), so can't say what it is. Items A, E and F are all invented by Benjamin Franklin. They are a wood-burning stove, bifocals, and an "armonica" (which is a weird musical instrument). They...

    Refuting modalism

    I used to be a United Pentecostal (a long time ago...), but I escaped from that pseudo-christian cult after listening to quite a bit of Dr. Walter Martin ("The Bible Answer Man") on the radio, and it finally sunk in that the beliefs were just stupid, and VERY legalistic and oppressive (don't be...

    Angels

    Here's what I'd like to know about angels: 1) How many can dance on the head of a pin? 2) Is it really true that every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings?

    Have to know the NAME in order to be saved?

    I don't believe that "name" here should be taken as a literal moniker, but rather it is a reference to the power and authority of the Person to whom it references. This is a mistake that some sects (United Pentecostals and their ilk) make when they claim that you must be baptized in the "Name...

    Regarding Islam

    I think it's fair to ask the question: if each religion claims it is the true religion, how do you know which one is? I also think that answering the question by saying that our Christian scriptures tell us that Christianity is the only true religion isn't really going to impress those who...

    Is the message of Christ Pacifism?

    Luke 22:36 (King James Version) 36Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

    Aw heck, this is a semi privy area, right?

    Yeah, that's me, Sam. I registered for the Forums months ago and made one post, but then forgot all about it till I got a birthday message from the system...

    Jesus had brothers?

    Brothers in law? That implies he either had sisters who were married, or he was married to a woman who had brothers... He wasn't married, so that's out. If He had sisters, why not brothers?

    Share a favorite quote!

    "Jesus never said that you should only believe the things that Jesus said." --Francis Beckworth, commenting at Stand To Reason on the oft-used excuse, "But Jesus never mentioned....(homosexuality, for instance)", meaning that the whole Bible is the word of Jesus, not just the words in red.

    Popes are Redundant?

    Hi cousin Disasm I'm no expert here, but I've read that "binding and loosing" was rabbinical jargon of the time that had to do with permitting or disallowing certain practices or notions, and was administrative in nature. So that fits in with your usage of it. Unlike what a lot of people in...
