Dave, I've always been confused on the area of salvation, what the effects of sin are on our salvation, and the other points that you brought up. I wanted to thank you for your posts throughout the thread as I have found them to be helpful in answering those questions and doubts that I've...

I think that you missed a key word: "interpretation". They are not saying that they reject the evidence itself, but that the interpretation of the evidence, if contrary with the Bible, is mistaken or flawed, and rather than simply dismiss it as that they will seek to explain why that particular...

New Wineskin, That's a good one for the individual, but I was wondering: can you think of any modern-day examples?

That's what I've heard, but it isn't something that I feel, you know? I guess for me personally, maybe I don't understand or comprehend what it really means when God says that I'm forgiven and so on ... I don't think that it's something that I've ever really experienced...

To marciebaby: The confusion over this is largely caused by poor translations and an ignorance of Hebrew by the majority of Christians today. You see, in Hebrew, the precise tense of a verb is determined by the context or action cf English where the tense is related to time (Batten...

... how utterly predictable. :sigh: If only I got paid $1 for everytime I have heard ignorant and unsupported rhetoric... I will respond to a few points brought up, but I've in this place before and I know that any continued correspondance would be pointless and a waste of my time. I find it...

An interesting question, I guess one could point out David and his 'sexipades' cf an ordinary bloke as an example of differences between God's standards or His willingness to 'overlook sin', but I'm not sure that it could even apply today. In answer to the actual question, I doubt that there...

To imissedu: If you keep reading on, it'll even tell you the main events that are to come and develop in the Middle East (see Daniel 38-39 and Revelation, for example) prior to the End Times... As to comment on your original point, while that could be a source of discontement between the...

That was quite a good post Yarddog and thank you for writing it. :thumbsup: I honestly don't really know much about the Catholic Church's beliefs, but I always thought that it was something like that rather than salvation through works or even salvation through faith and works. Works, as you...

Well, I voted 'yes' that they can be a minister and lead a single church or the entire denomination. The 13th General of The Salvation Army was a woman named Eva Burrows, and I've had quite a few women pastors at different churches that I've attended and they are no less effective, respected...

To Alexrkr: I guess the first thing to note is that I'm not overly knowledgeable or interested in origins science or events, and so I'll reference quite a bit to Creation Ministries International (a premier creationist organisation). The thing about asking so many question is that many are...

I doubt it is anything paranormal as I presume that it happens to most people occasionally. I've woken up in the morning at times with scratches on my legs, stomach, arms, whatever (my finger nails are to a minimum as well). It doesn't happen that often, but it does happen. If it really bothers...

Heh, yeah I was the same. One of my friends taught me how to play and he kicked my butt so many times and then one day I just got lucky and beat him like four or five times in a row and now I can beat him almost everytime. I think that it really just takes time and patience for you to develop an...

Yeah, I like Take It All too, but my favourites would have to include The Reason I Live, Everyday (a classic), The Stand, From The Inside Out, and of course their rendition of the choruses of Majesty and Awesome God.

I get most of my music from Koorong as well, sometimes from eBay Australia, or very occasionally from on-line stores like iTunes. If there is a song that just comes to mind I might try to find it on YouTube and use either a Firefox add-on or RealPlayer to save it my computer, like I did with...

lol. My favourites are: Who Am I?, The Voice Of Truth, Praise You In The Storm, East To West, Does Anybody Hear Her?, While You Were Sleeping, and Somewhere In The Middle. I guess I like those songs in particular because I can relate to them in my life, like a few people mentioned earlier.
