    How Should We Then Respond?

    Considering the recent Supreme Court decision, how should Christians respond on this issue and the broader issue of homosexual behavior in general, when asked questions? I am asking this primarily of those who accept the Scripture's view that this behavior is sin. I am not looking for comments...

    Any thoughts on Tim Tebow's declining to speak at First Baptist?

    It progressively seems that a flood-gate has opened; and the ones who believe in the radical agenda are out in unparalleled force, attacking anyone who does not support their latest 'cause' or group deemed to be deprived. This is very related to Baptist issues, Tebow being a member of First...

    Challenge 4: Does God have 2 separate plans concurrently with Israel and the Church?

    Here is the 3rd challenge, not so much by number of the person who wrote them, but in the priority I place on them. "5) Part of believing Israel is not in the body of Christ, the Bride of the Lamb, which is the New Jerusalem, and therefore is outside it, where are only the dogs. . .who love...

    Challenge 3: One Judgment event for Everyone?

    Here is the 3rd challenge, not so much by number of the person who wrote them, but in the priority I place on them. "2) Two separate final judgment events. The apostles teach two separate grounds for judgment, which are rewards for the justified, based on faithfulness, and salvation from...

    Challenge 2: the Church, the last Age/Dispensation?

    These two present essentially the same challenge: "3) Contradiction of apostolic teaching that the Church is the fulfillment of the ages (1Co 10:11). In dispensationalism, the Church is only a parenthesis in God's program for the ages, it is not the culmination of the ages as presented in...

    Challenge 1: Scriptural evidence for the Dispensations

    The following challenge has been made: "1) Seven dispensations. Nowhere found in apostolic teaching. The Jewish apostles were either ignorant of them, or forgot to tell us about them." What think you? I'm asking for dispensationalists to offer Scriptural support for the seven...

    Why Obama lost the Debate

    The reason for the unimpressive performance in the debate, apart from the absence of the teleprompter, was identified by none other than our former vice-President: “I’m going to say something controversial here,” Gore told Current TV, the network he co-founded. “Obama arrived in Denver at 2...

    What we need today

    I just re-read this today, and it reminded me of what we truly need as individuals in the body of Christ today. This is part of the personal testimony of Charles Trumbull, editor of "The Sunday School Times" many years ago: PART 1 "About a year before, I had begun, in various ways, to get...

    Building on the Rock: hearing and acting on it

    Matt. 7:24-27 Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock...

    Why does Jesus seem to talk more on behavior & attitudes than grace?

    The Scriptures unarguably state that eternal life is by God's grace through faith in Christ and His accomplished work on the Cross. However, recently I've been going through all 4 gospels and can't help but notice the emphasis on personal responsibility and call to obedience and changed...

    Once saved, how does one live the Christian Life?

    Colossians 2:6 "Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him" Once the question of our salvation is settled, we as children of God should set out on the journey the Lord has called us to. What are the principles that guide you in this process? What is the thing...

    For Whom Did Christ Die?

    I realize there is an open thread similar to this, but I wanted to start a fresh thread with the research I've done so as not to contaminate the other one and enter way down toward the end of it. These first posts are a continuation from another forum where it has been shut down prematurely...

    For Whom Did Christ Die?

    This is a continuation of a previous thread because the other one had to be shut down before any good discussion could occur. I have tried to improve the title since there was an objection to the other one (The theme of the Bible is NOT Limited Atonement. The question is "for whom did Christ...

    The Fingerprint of God in Nature

    When we stand before the Lord, the saved and the unsaved, the blinders will be removed from our eyes and we will see things as they really are. I have begun to believe recently that one of the areas where that will be soberingly true is in the fact that what we see in nature has been declaring...

    The message of the Bible is NOT Limited Atonement

    I'm starting this thread not to continue a controversy that seems to be an obsession on here, but to answer and allow others to answer a challenge made on another thread regarding this issue. The challenge was: If I am wrong, my apologies on that one, but I take that to be a challenge to the...
