Wow, are you really a pastor at only 27 years old? Cool! :) BTW, I'm so glad I asked about this here :)

Yea, thanks for sharing :) I totally see your point and must say that make a lot of sense. Thanks.

That sounds like the sort of thing I'd like to see at my church :) Thanks for sharing, as my current church sounds a lot like the traditional Baptist church you speak of, and I wish to see it move towards more "contemporary" aspects.

Now, now, Mechanical, let's not get our knickers in a knot :)

Indeed, but did they know enough about "gravitational potential energy" and the like to make this up at the time, or is this a genuine prophecy? Is the information in the article about Orion and Pleiades even correct? Just trying to narrow things down :)

Not sure if this has been done before, but I heard about this from a friend, looked it up on the net, and felt compelled to share :) The verse in question is the following: Job 38:31 Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, or loose the cords of Orion? This website claims that the...

A miracle by definition is something initiated by a supernatural cause :) Hence it is impossible to have a "formula that is repeatable" by humans, as the miracle relies entirely on the supernatural.

Frumious, I appreciate your lengthly argument in support of an ancient earth, and agree :) John may continue to argue in favor of YEC, but if he chooses not to, and no one else comes in to support YEC per the terms of the challenge, I propose that we either a) desert the thread, or b) discuss...

Regardless of what I may have subconciously implied, I do not believe evolutionists are atheists :) I myself believe in micro-evolution. More forthcoming... That was a "my bad." :) Call it a Freudlian slip to declare evolution the opposite of YEC. Point taken. I concede that the...

Now that I have commenced reading the thread, I must state that, John, your arguing about Dr. Wise serves no purpose in this context :) Please try to find evidence to furfill the original challenge, rather than turn the challenge into something else. If you wish to discuss the validity of Dr...

As I have not yet read through the entire thread, someone may have already mentioned this fact. However, I can not help but note that it is also highly unlikely that you will find an evolutionist who can state his opinion independent of any religious beliefs. The vast majority of humankind...

Yea, there's lots! Is there some kind of sly insight I'm supposed to catch from this question or was it just an honest question, hehe? :)

I'm a Christian who attends an ELCA Lutheran church. I agree with all of the doctrines of the ELCA, but sometimes I think that "saved by grace through faith" gets warped into "saved by grace through intellectual acceptance." My two cents :)

First of all, I'm not sure I understand the connection between a) people with tattoos, and b) rock and roll music and worldliness. Just to clarify, however, by contemporary, I meant a service that differs from a traditional service musically or litergically. For instance, some churches have...

Preacher, preach!! :clap:

This might have been done before, as I've said before, I'm an occassional lurker, but I was wondering if your church had a contemporary or blended service. :) EDIT: Am I even allowed to make polls here? I hope so, hehe :)

Looks like the same guy as on the cover of a copy of his Confessions I have :) I'd say it's probably him.

I'm not kimber, and I'm certinely not entertaining, but I like your G.K. Chesterton quotes :) Here's another I like: "Coincidences are spirtual puns."

A nice resource for using many translations at once is the SWORD Project. Many of the common translations used today they are unable to distribute, but if you don't have a copy of the RSV or KJV or want to check out one of the lesser-known translations it's cool...

Hehe, so, how about that Sendmail vulnerability? :P
