Hah, ok, I'll bite! That responce pretty much has me forced to reply. Let's begin. One thing I will say first: Not everyone has a healing ministry, you know. So on that note, it's logical that not everyone is called to chug poison like a champ. But while not healing someone isn't the end of...

It's a shame you can't swear on this board. Are you trolling? I hope so. Without putting too fine a point on it, you're a moron that's doing nothing but twisting my words, making a bunch of strawmen and generally showing off your impressive lack of knowledge regarding basic theology. I can't be...

You didn't reinforce your point at all. It mentions plenty of times throughout the NT about disciples preaching and healing the sick, but does it mention that they went around chugging down jugs of poison? I think you'll find that they didn't. Use your brain a bit here as well; laying of hands...

I can't see how it's even remotely different. It's someone getting tempted to test god. It's really that simple. Is not the verse the devil quoted meaning exactly the same thing as what's written in Mark?

I think half this forum is about them! I've always been wary of what I listen to within metal, although recently a friend (an atheist who has a habit of making me more christian, haha!) called me up on a bit of stuff; I was definitely making some weak excuses ("Yes, it's fairly anti christian...

It is testing god. Here's a similar scenario Jesus was faced with (you're probably familiar with it):

I hope you're feeling OWNED from that devastating rebuttal, Teapot :D:D:D:D As others have said, while that verse plainly says what it does (and many christians would have some sort of experience/evidence- anecdotal, of course- that people have taken up new languages when speaking in tongues)...

I would post something here like "OWNED" but considering that Duckybill has already been comprehensively beaten by everyone there's not much. God healed his cancer and that's great, it's just a shame that he couldn't sort Ducky's mind out a bit while he was there. Just a thought here guys: not...

A few things that you're all in dire need of educating: 1) Death and black metal are extremely different. Compare Ulver (fantastic band)'s Nattens Madrical to, I dunno, Nile's Annihilation of the Wicked. Completely different riffing style? production? Style of composition? Funnily enough, yes...

"waaaaah I can't whine about jews/gays/muslims/democrats all the time!!!!" *cries* quit yer whinging.

If you haven't got a clue, then why throw this insult at Dag? Three things here: 1) Saying the lord's prayer at parliament (something that has long been a meaningless gesture) hasn't achieved anything, never will. 2) I'm not hugely pro euthanasia anyway (it's not an issue I see as extremely...

Lay off the crack, tehmill. Has failed in the past, will fail nowadays and will continue to fail. The bible's proof that god doesn't answer every prayer, no matter who (moses, paul... jesus) prays it. I think near every christian would have a lot of anecdotes of people with super strong faith...

Monarchist, how on earth do the greens give anyone more money? Economics isn't their strongsuit. You want more money in your pocket, vote liberal. it's that simple. Dag, I agree with you on most points, but must say something about abortion. It's not hard to legislate abortion being illegal...

[/facepalm] Absolute rubbish. I'm so sick of this persecution complex most western christians seem to have.

What a rubbish list. 1-Doesn't matter 2- doesn't matter 5, 6, 7- don't matter 8- where's that mentioned in the bible? 10- marriage is one thing. Registration? really? who cares? 11- doesn't matter 16- not really our concern 17- you serious? Number 16 aside, do we really want to be like china...

oh, and you know one SUPER OBVIOUS one? Merge the entire music forum into Secular Music/Christian Music. Two forums, both of which would be much busier and a lot better as a result. Easy as anything. And another one! Gardening Forum/Outdoors and Nature/Sport. One forum, "Sports and Outdoors"...

That example basically proves the point. There is a subforum for it, but there's so many subforums around that it was impossible to find. One obvious example: There is a substance abuse subforum, an alcohol abuse forum, a quit smoking forum, a inappropriate contentographic addiction forum. One move and BAM, you...

Well, dunno how old you are but gay, aside from it's old meaning, (and, er, older meaning) also means bad/lame/stupid/etc etc. "Dude, that's gay". At the very least over here it's a very used word, so the teacher has at least some sort of point that they'd fall over laughing. Having said that if...

It would be hard not to scream at the guy about what an idiot he's being. This little story describes the situation perfectly: absolute stupidity, really. [/SIZE][/FONT]

True enough, fantasy. For one thing, I imagine a solicitor's office (that is where you worked, right?) is very different from mining.. the latter I imagine is a bit more informal and a good deal scruffier, haha
