By chance is there anyone here with any knowledge of lap steel guitars? Or maybe someone that is kind of knowledgeable on all things Gibson?

I noticed on the local Orthodox Church's calendar that they have a Bridegroom Matins service tomorrow morning at 8 AM...would this be a good service for the first time visiting? If I go what can I expect? This is me going under the assumption that I'll wake up early enough lol.

I'm posting this in GT because I want to discuss the theological aspects of this, and not the political...if the staff thinks there's a better forum for this, please move. In light of the recent events in Syria I had to wonder...how should Christians view war? Should we be supportive if we...

Are any of our Wesleyan or Methodist friends familiar with this group and the New Room movement? I just recently discovered them, and wanted to get your thoughts. They seem to have a strong Wesleyan approach to faith and study, which I very much respect. I've always been a big admirer of John...

I've read the New Testament multiple times, as well as most of the books of the Old Testament...I've only read Revelation once. I recently tried to do so again...and I can never get into it. All the symbolic language. I've tried reading it from several different translations...I just don't get...

When I turned on the Classic Rock station and heard Stone Temple Pilots singing Vaseline... Anyone else had an experience like this since hitting your 30s?

I'm asking this here, because I specifically want the EOC perspective. One thing that I've been confused about, looking at things through evangelical lenses, is the concept of asking the Virgin Mary and the Saints to pray for us. I do understand that people are not praying TO the saints, but...

In 1 Corinthians Paul speaks about divisions in the Church. How some were saying they were of Paul, others Apollos, others Cephas. When addressing this he asked, "Are we not all of Christ?" Meaning just because it was the message of Paul or Apollos that lead someone to Christ, that doesn't mean...

Whatever your faith group calls it... The main thing I miss from my days in the Episcopal Church is partaking of Communion every Sunday. In the evangelical churches I've attended over the last 16 years they only have communion once a month, or some only once a quarter...although, the one...

Hi all. I've recently become very interested in the Orthodox Church...to me, it seems apparent than in the battle of who the original church was, East or West...East wins. Anyway, could some of you recommend some good resources to me, to learn more about the EOC? I've read a few things online...

I created another thread on this topic, specifically dealing with the verse found in 1 Timothy in regards to qualifications for an elder or deacon...but that got me to thinking about this even further, and thought this would be best in the general theology section... The other thread is here...

My family and I started attending a nondenominational church a little over a month ago. We have all really been enjoying worshipping there. They preach a solid, biblically based message...the worship is great, and the congregation has been very welcoming towards us. We're not wanting to rush...

When I joined here several years ago I identified as Pentecostal, but now I'm such a mixed bag in my beliefs I was wondering if my faith could be changed to simply, "Christian?" Thanks for your help. Drew

In another thread the subject was repetition in modern praise and worship music. This got me to thinking about something I realized the other day in regards to my prayer life...something I've always struggled with is saying the same thing over and over...maybe not in a row, but I'll have the...

This is a light hearted, but I'm coming at it from a biblical perspective, in a sense... Of all the sci-fi-genres, time travel has always been the most interesting to me...I guess it has to with my love of history, mostly... Doctor Who and Quantum Leap are two of my favorite tv shows of all...

I'd like to preface this with the hope that we can remain civil, and that this thread is used more for understanding and not debate. What is it about the denomination or church that you belong to that leads you to believe it is correct, or true in its teaching? Can you look at your church and...

Mods, if this isn't in the right section please move, I wasn't sure where the best place for this discussion would be, as this has more to do with the entire book and not only creation. Genesis is the history of Israel's roots...most believe Moses to be the author of the book, and if we go by...

I'm interested in what the various churches represented here teach on tithing.

I'm hoping some of our reformed friends can help me get a grasp on this theology. T-Total depravity...makes perfect sense to me...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. U- Unconditional Election- this is where it starts getting mirky...on the one hand, I can see where it makes...

Some of you may remember me, though it's been a few years since I posted here...I was selected to become a moderator around the same time I began going through a divorce, and I had to step away. This will be rather long, but I wanted to share what God has done in my life recently as someone else...
