    Your favourite authors, novels or stories?

    Thought I would toss this out on this string as it seems to be quite active. I have had my first fictional novel published and am thirty thousand words into my second one. I was raised in a Pentecostal church and my faith is still what guides me daily. My novels are not faith based but are...

    Your Thoughts on Creation & Evolution

    You will never definitively prove creation as it would be contradictory to the Creator's words itself. God says, Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."...

    Christians observing Jewish Holidays

    I am not saying Christians should not observe them. I do not have a problem with those that feel to observe the Holidays as a Christian. It is a topic that I am trying to determine an answer for myself. I have Christian friends that are taking the stance that we have to observe them, should...

    Christians observing Jewish Holidays

    I as well do not believe there is anything wrong with it. I am curious as to the reason one feels to do it and wonder how the Jewish people feel about it. I talked to a Jewish friend that was somewhat offended that some Christians want to observe the passover, a celebration of an only the Jews...

    Is Speaking In Tongues Biblical Today?

    Thank you for your response and I apologize for being long winded. I will only comment on a couple of your comments for the sake of brevity. The Scriptures also warn us against false teachers and false prophets, II Peter 2:1. The law of contradiction requires that if Peter is warning against...

    Is Speaking In Tongues Biblical Today?

    I am new to this site and this is my first post. I was raised in Pentecostal churches and have seen all manner of manifestations, from tongues to people being "slain out" "dancing in the Spirit etc. Now in my late fifties I have had time to reflect and study all of these manifestations. I do...

    If your Christian

    We live under Grace not the Law. When Jesus died on the Cross He died for every sin committed and to be committed. He did not specify that he died for only certain sins but all.
