Of course it's a religion.. you'd really have to twist some concepts in odd ways to try to get away from that one. If any religion might be close to not being considered a religion, it might be buddhism, because it's much more focused on a way of life rather than belief / faith. However, it's...

My conviction is that all counterceptives are morally OK, and that abortion is not. God made our bodies to produce "potential life" by the millions, continually. Each wasted sperm or egg is not an abortion. The line is a bit blurry when you start getting into the pill and them morning after...

We're under grace and the law. It's quite simple.

Wade Smith, you do not know the hearts and minds of people. God loves everyone and He knows their hearts, motives and convictions more than man does. This is all me and Cassidy are saying when we say to not judge and condem others. Discernment is one thing, calling someone hell bent and so forth...

Amen. Us Christians need to be humble and just learn to get along even when we think we're right and someone else is wrong, even if we feel "justified" in arguing we aren't always. I think we all have some common grounds here if we really think about it.

Weird one: Putting on socks fresh out of the dryer. :thumbsup: Thunder storms at night with the light off. Having something happen that brings back a childhood memory of simplicity and comfort. :idea: Being really tired and just laying down and loving the fact that you don't have to...

I'm here to help you Sis! (if you don't mind me using that term ;)). I believe the Earth is 4.5 Billion years old, I believe we evolved from fish. Oh, and don't forget the big bang (the speed of light.. science.. isn't it great?). I was also a creationist for many years, and spent loads of time...

I did not intend to an argument amongst believers. My partner and I will be happy together and I will continue to seek God personally.

An interesting thing to point out is how homosexual couples can get "legally" "married" in by civil law in several U.S. states. Think about the consiquences you guys. But I think you all really need to listen to Cassidy, she's onto something. God has revealed a deeper truth to her, and you...

Again, Wade Smith and Floatingaxe, I do not wish to argue on this matter. My conscience is clear Wade Smith. The ability to reason together has left.

Floatingaxe: My correction, it was Martin Luther (1500s, Germany) not Martin Luther King Jr's father (which is what I thought). His followers started the Lutheran denomination.

I'm sorry you feel that way Floatingaxe. As I've said, I think it's best if we just agree to disagree, but if that cannot be done, then I don't wish to continue to argue in vain. Luke 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall...

There's a few things I want to say, I want to clear up a few things and hopefully we can come to a reasonable conclusion. Firstly, I appoligize to anyone if I've came off as overly defensive (or maybe offensive). To everyone, I'd like to say that I agree with Cassidy in that God can honor a...

I don't live as a people pleaser. I'm tired of Christians judging my relationship with my girlfriend. In fact, I'm begining to hate the word girlfriend becaues it automatically misleads people into thining we're just some random, casual "daters." If I wanted to I could go out and marry her...

Maybe you're being quick to judge that I will be "fornicating."

You seem to be jumping into some rather hastey assumpsions and jugments there. You seem to think that legal marriage is the only defining factor in a relationship, you seem to think that my girlfriend and I, who share every posible thing about our lives and have already devoted our love to...

It's my understanding (from my mom) that Martin Luther King did not want to start a new denomination, and he actually opposed it, but it eventually happend (perhaps after his death?).

I agree with you in that the NT is complete "enough" for what most people need to know. Now you ask, are we to "ADD revelations?" We do not add revelations, for if we do it's out of our own carnality and not from God. However, if God so chooses to give a revelation he will. This is scriptural...

Well that's quite rude, asking a question then not reading my response. I guess there's not much more to say.

As I see you're seeking a debate (where I was just stating my beliefs that have changed) I'll go ahead and respond. :) The NT is not complete, the OT and the NT combined are not complete. Do you mean you believe that the infinite knowledge of God can be summed up into a few books and...
