Anyone want to take the role of a critic? I've become the Interim Student Minister at my church, and along with the transition comes a different website look. Anyone who wants to offer any kind of criticism, please do so! Here is the address to the page...

Making Our Churches Pagan-Friendly by Dave Crampton click here for a printable pdf version of this article We are currently living in an age where the quest for spirituality has never been higher. Yet the quest for Christian spirituality and meaning within church structures is the lowest...

Two questions for all you computer-folk: First of all, would anyone be able to look at our student ministry's new website for some constructive criticism! (http://www.fiveseventeen.org/) I used a couple of templates along with writing my own stuff. It's still a project in the making, but any...

Hello, all! This debate is for the purposes of those for and against ministry for women in today's Church. Now, I'd like to set up some "ground rules" in order that this goes smoothly. 1. My first post is going to be a summary of my thoughts on what the Word says about women and the a focus...

This is starting a new thread, as some on this board hold musical instruments in church to be sinful. Here are my points: 1. Arguments from silence are logical fallacies. CoC states that musical instruments are prohibited because the NT does not speak of them. However, the NT doesn't speak...

In Exodus 32:7-14, there is a passage that states that God is planning to annihilate the Jewish people. Moses prays earnestly for them. God repents and decides to spare them. 1. Should we read this literally? 2. It not, what are the reasons for doing so - is it a matter of doctrine that...

I'm taking it from reading that the premise of preterism is that the Second Coming of Christ came around 70 A.D. What are the evidences of that? I thought even Christ didn't know when He was going to return - is this a contradiction? What does the second coming have to do with Josephus...

In John Calvin's Commentary on Romans, he stated the following in reference to Romans 5:18 (p. 211 in the 1979 reprinting): "He makes this favor common to all, because it is propoundable to all, and not because it is in reality extended to all (i.e. in their experience), for though Christ...

I see a lot of Christians who use 777 in screen names and such on the Internet. I take it that they believe that since 666 is the Satanic number, and 6 is man's number, that if 7 is "God's number," then 777 must be a Godly number - the "opposite" of 666, which is known as the mark of the Beast...

I've heard two people in the last week say that Acts 13:48 was the verse that caused them to accept Calvinism. Calvinists know this verse well: "...as many as were appointed unto eternal life were saved" Here are some interesting things about the word used there to define "were appointed...

Does God want all people to be saved? (2 Pet. 3:9) The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. (1 Tim. 2:4) (God) desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the...
