Greenwald hits another one out of the park:One of the worst myths Democratic partisans love to tell themselves - and everyone else - is that the GOP refuses to support President Obama no matter what he does. Like its close cousin - the massively deceitful inside-DC grievance that the two...

I've found I really hate making threads like this, but for whatever reason I feel compelled to. Where to do you meet people (of the opposite sex)? I could probably count on one hand the number of crushes I've had--even then probably half were for people I barely knew--and I have a hard time...

I always see a bunch of marriage threads on here, so I thought I'd ask. Anyone not going to marry? Edit: Pretty sure my grammar's off, but whatever.

I just randomly started thinking about a brief conversation I had with Mr. Paulie079 not long ago (started here) and I figured I just start a new thread on a closely related issue. I'll be as brief as possible; check the link for more detail. I've never had many friends, and even those few I...

I had intended to post this earlier, but have been busy. Last Sunday I visited my local Presbyterian Church (website here) less than five minutes away. I've only been to two other churches before, one of which is an Independent Christian Church (my home church) and a Baptist Church. So needless...

If a Protestant might ask a question: Is there an official Catholic position on the atonement? Most Orthodox hold to the Ransom Theory, while conservative Protestants usually espouse Penal Substitution, but what about Catholics? Thanks in advance.

I don't really have any experience in this area, so I had to ask. Last Thursday was my first day of college. I’m in a writing class as writing fiction is one of my favorite hobbies. We had to get in groups for some dumb ice breaker thing. As I talked to the others in my group, I found...

We're putting my beloved cat to sleep tomorrow morning. He was my best friend and I'm barely holding on. I've never had to deal with anything like this before. Please pray.

I've suffered from depression and social anxiety for some years now, and self-hatred was a frequent by-product. I've been in counseling and on medication since last fall, which has definitely helped, but some times I still fall back into my self-hating thoughts. This happened just several weeks...

Due to depression and social anxiety, I started writing less and less a couple years ago and one day gave it up all together. I'm starting to get over the depression and social anxiety now, and the Writer's Block is receding too. I feel like a can write some now, but I still don't have the...

I'm sure there have been threads on this before on here, but what our your thoughts on premarital sex?

This is my first time posting on WWMC, so hello. Something has been bothering me; it’s an issue that’s troubled me before, but for reasons I’ll get into below they’ve resurfaced recently. It has to do with my parents’ marriage and what Jesus says about divorce. My dad was married before and had...

In Galatians 6:2 and 1 Corinthians 9:21, Paul refers to “the Law of Christ” and says that he is under it (by which I assume all Christians are under it). Unfortunately, Paul is rather vague as to what this law is. So, what do you think he means when he talks about the Law of Christ? (Gal 6:2...

Can there be such a thing as a Theonomic or Reconstructionist Baptist? I’ve never heard of a modern day Baptist who holds to either of the two, but I’ve heard Presbyterians say there are historic Baptists (like John Gill) who were of a Theonomic persuasion. Is that true?

I’ve heard the term “New Calvinism” thrown around quite a bit on the web, but I’m having a hard time figuring out what it is. What is it exactly is New Calvinism and how does it contrast with Old Calvinism (however that’d be defined)? The only theological difference I’ve been able to identify is...

What is the Christus Victor Theory of the Atonement and is compatible with Reformed Soteriology?

So I came across this website a few weeks ago and I was looking through it again tonight. A Pastor named Brian Schwertley runs the site and has written long articles on many subjects. On the index I saw that he had a review for Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ. I skimmed over his critique...

What do you make of these two citations: 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith In the beginning it pleased God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for the manifestation of the glory of his eternal power, wisdom, and goodness, to create or make the world, and all things therein, whether visible...

So, I'm reading this book in school right now and am nearing the end. I like it, mostly. What do you guys think? Has any of the the principles Carnegie discusses in the book work for you?

Don't know if anybody here watches The Office, but, for those of you who do, I thought I would make a thread about the Jim and Pam wedding. It's this Thursday, anybody excited for it?
