Anyone else hear anything about the newest installment in the Total War series, Empire? After reading a few blurbs about it, I'm already totally psyched. It's going to be the first installment to allow real-time naval battles, and the map will nearly span the entire world. The ground combat...

I'll definitely have to check that out, thanks for the heads up. Sherman has always been my favorite commander of the war. His memoirs are an excellent source of first hand information about his campaigns. He was an extremely eloquent writer, and does an excellent job of explaining his...

Liked the movie, didn't watch it on the 5th, though. It WAS Guy Fawkes Day in England, so I'm sure everyone over there was partying it up.

The Apocrypha are the books that supposedly fill in the gap between the Old and New Testaments. They are in most Catholic translations, but Protestants and Jews don't believe they are to be considered scripture. They hold some historical value, however, as the struggle of the Maccabees against...

I don't think there was a specific reason behind the clear juice, like "J4Jesus" said, might have been just to keep it from staining the carpet. Or maybe that's what they had on-hand at the time. I don't think there was any deeper meaning to it.

Are you talking about tithing, or just giving in general, like to charities or to others? I myself give just because God has blessed me with so much, and it would be silly to keep it all for selfish reasons while there are others who don't have nearly enough. I live pretty modestly and don't...

He asks that of every one, and those who say "yes" become God's children forever!

Everyone feels emotion at all times, it just may not be overjoyed emotion like a lot of people claim during worship, speaking in tongues, etc. Sometimes I feel very moved by the Spirit, and I'm either extremely joyous, or maybe grieving for something, and I pray in tongues. Usually, though, I...

fun = fur

Anything except Tequilla, the mere smell of it makes me want to hurl.

My parents were Christian, but we didn't start going to church until I was about 10 years old. My early church experience wasn't very fulfilling, and I stopped going when I got old enough to drive and start working. I didn't actually start going to church on my own accord and get saved until I...

When considering the question "How did God get to be where He is?", just remember that as humans, our only concept of time is on a linear time-scale, where things have a beginning and an end, a cause and an effect. Just like with spacial dimensions, a one-dimensional image is just a line, a...

"Enlightenment" like you may be talking about, in the Buddhist or Hindu sense, is not really a Christian concept. We go through a process of sanctification, or becoming more Christlike, but "enlightenment" is not really a goal. All of our knowledge comes through God's Word and His Holy Spirit...

I run everyday, In the Marine Corps so I kinda have to. When I first joined the military I hated it, but once I realized that there were easier ways to run without being in so much pain, it got rather enjoyable. Now my day doesn't start until I get at least 4 or 5 miles in.

It was definitely not what I had expected. Not very scary at all. Even the scenes that had obviously been intended to make you jump out of your seat were very predictable and had virtually no effect. Not nearly as good as "The Shining" as far as ghost movies go. Hopefully King's new movie...

Just saw "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford". It was amazing, I was really surprised it didn't get a better distribution or advertisement. One of the best acted movies I have ever seen.

I don't like to force myself to pray, personally my concept of prayer is different than a lot of people's ideas about it. My prayer is simply talking to God, I like to hold conversations kinda, then listen to what He says to my heart. Sometimes I'm compelled to pray in the Spirit, and usually...

1) No. 2) The Holy Spirit is necessary for all to be saved. 3) The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is completely different then the initial receiving of the Holy Spirit that saves us. 4) No. 5) No. 6) Yes. 7) They were Christians once Jesus said "follow me" and they said "yes". 8) I believe the verse...

Thanks for the blessing!

Don't really think it matters what you celebrate, whatever floats your boat. As long as it doesn't go against what you believe about God and the Bible, more power to you. As far as a Spirit-filled believer celebrating what is generally a Catholic holiday, I happily celebrate Christmas, Easter...
