Spirituality is what all religions strive for, knowing God/Deity/Etc... intimately.

Praying for all who were involved and for all who are rushing to the aid of those in need.

Angels? Where do you get that it came from angels? According to the Bible itself, the Law was given to Mosed by God Himself, not by angels. But based on sound historical research, the writings of the Old Testament were not all written at once, but over a long period of time, and were...

Whatever holidays you may celebrate, may they be joyous and blessed! Merry Christmas.

And a Merry Christmas to you as well!

That's debatable, to say the least. Many of the laws in the OT are related to health and sanitation, not spirituality. Others are related to inheritance and property, not spirituality. If you love God and love your neighbor, the rest follows, regardless of the religion that you are.

I don't really care for any message that says one kind of Christianity is real and another isn't. No one is perfect. Everyone has their slip ups, some more than others, but everyone is human. Christ died for all, not just the ones who have the right brand of Christianity.

This is quite simply one of those topics where the Bible isn't all that clear about things. But few people seem to want to dig deeper and truly find the underlying themes and meanings. As merryheart pointed out, many, many women held leadership positions in the Bible. So if God says "no...

And a Merry Christmas to everyone as well!

I see our very own Herev has a birthday today!

Because being a Christian is about having a personal relationship with Him, and He is more than worthy of our praise.

Exactly. Should I obey God, or should I obey human interpretation which is fallible?

Adrian in Michigan is associated with the UMC. I'm considering going there when I finish my courses at the local community college.

Here's my thought: If everything we do is set out ahead of time, if every choice we make is fore-ordained, then what is the point?

It's the most "obvious" one, the most easily recognizable. Prophecy is easy to prove, either it comes true or it doesn't, and a person would look really dumb saying "God told me you're going to....." and then it not come true.... Immediately proves the gift of prophecy didn't exist in the...

Hmmm. Not sure if there really are any guidelines. I've been named Sunday School Superintendent of my church with basically no experience and only having been a member for a short time. But then again, they were desperate and I was pretty much the only person willing to do it....

Ditto apenman. I personally don't think that what modern Christians call tongues is biblically supported. However, I also don't believe we should be limited to the Bible in our beliefs.
