I have been pondering this for some time, and though the following is of course, anecdotal, it summarizes my question. As a child, I remember that winter tended to begin around late October. I can still remember having snow on the ground most times when my parents would take me trick or...

This is the peanut gallery for my installment story thread "The Seventh Sword". Hope you enjoy the story as much as I enjoy writing it, and feel free to give any input or opinion here rather than the story thread. It will help keep the thread smoother. ;) *story thread*...

This thread will be an "as I get a chance" (lol) installment of a story I've been working on for sometime. I went back and forth on whether I wanted to make this a novel, but realized I was just writing for the joy of it, and wanted to share it, not try to make money on it. Basic Synopsis: An...

About one week ago, Kelvin Cochran was fired as Fire Chief in Atlanta Georgia, over his book "Who Told You, You Were Naked". In this nearly 200 page (iirc) book, Mr. Cochran makes a passing reference to homosexual sex being a sin, just like out of wedlock heterosexual sex. The backlash was...

1/2/2015 The Josh Alcorn Suicide: Thinking from a…: http://youtu.be/DVw32uJWXpk I hadn't heard of this until yesterday, when I saw that Dr. White was going to be discussing it. I find that this is a true tragedy on so many levels. First that a young man had taken his own life. Second...

Does the Bible Misquote Jesus?: http://youtu.be/5K-AOfj1Axg I decided (against my better judgment) to watch the above debate. All I can say is....why? Why does Bart Ehrman get so much support from the media, and other groups (including Muslims, atheists, and other anti-bible groups) when his...

Recently Dr. James White released a trio of videos calling Rick Warren to repent of his apparent embracing of the RCC's pope. So who is correct? Whom should repent? Rick Warren's Capitulation to Rome: http://youtu.be/GjhsEH-px4Y More on Rick Warren's Capitulation to Rome...

Just saw that democrats voted to keep Nancy Pelosi as minority leader, even after being drubbed during this latest election. Is it time for democrats to move on from Pelosi and move in a different direction...

I recently had a debate with a pair of open theists on another site. As a quick overview for those who aren't familiar with open theism, it basically boils down to a few points. 1) Time is eternal and not a creation of God's 2) God is stuck in time 3) God does not have exhaustive foreknowledge...

I've seen a lot, on this forum and others, use of the term "extremist", generally aimed towards the right but from time to time at the left as well. My question, what counts as an extremist?For example, I've seen it directed at the Tea Party quite a bit, what causes them to be "extremists" in...

While listening to the radio recently, I heard someone call in to a radio program, and make some rather wild claims about Thorium. He made the claim that it created less waste, more power, and the waste that it did create, could be reused to help make crude oil from garbage. I decided to look...

This is a thread started to keep another from going off topic. As this post is awaiting a reply, I would ask others to refrain from replying until ebia has had a chance to respond, or until I've otherwise given the go ahead. Thanks! :) (Speaking on the book of Revelations) Ok, so you agree...

Due to popular demand (ok just lots of posts on the subject) I'm starting the General Theology Fellowship Beer Thread! Here, there's no discussion of denominations, or no theological debates, just fellowship, and the discussion of beer! (Ok, ok, all forms of adult beverages! Don't want to...

I recently had a discussion with an atheist on another site, where his response was something to the effect of "Christians just want to teach creationism to have a theocracy!" After I got past the initial absurdity of the statement, it started me thinking. Why do non-theists (atheists...

Recently while doing a bit of research I stumbled across this: Dr. John MacArthur is a spiritually perverse and very dangerous man, who ought not be allowed behind any pulpit in America. I am shocked how many naive and careless pastors welcome MacArthur, who clearly teaches the demonic...

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Christian fantasy. It's generally over the top with angels and spiritual nonsense as to make it unreadable. However Patrick W. Carr has achieved a near masterwork in the fantasy genre. His first book in the series, A Cast of Stones, was a great read! Without the...

I've seen this debate back and forth across this forum. It boils down to one question. Are we chosen to be saved, or do we choose ourselves to be saved? Did I come to Jesus Christ because I was irresistibly drawn by God or did I come to Christ because my heart said "I want to come to Christ"...

I posted this elsewhere, but I thought it deserved to be the op of a its own thread: I know people seem to like the show (never seen it, never will) but why are people raving about the book? I've somewhat prided myself on the fact that, up until now, no matter how bad a book is, I will press...

I recently had a discussion with several catholic brothers and sisters where I asked this question. Can the mass save by itself? Here's what I mean: If a man, who'd never heard of Jesus, or Christianity, were to find a bible on the side of the road, he could find salvation within its pages...
