In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirin′i-us was governor of Syria. And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to...

While getting off topic on another thread, it was brought to my attention that we may be losing our young folks in the Church. I'm not seeing it but I've been outside America and Western civilization for a good while. since returning to the States i've heard of this but haven't really seen...

It's easy to notice that the views on what the Mark is are as varied as anything in the Christian belief. What is your idea or your Church's teaching on what that mark is?

Just today I had a young man tell me he loved Jesus but hated the Church. To me that's like saying I love swimming but hate water. Any thoughts?

ESV And “If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” I'm not interested in speaking on the ungodly. I'm interested in how you view "scarcely saved". How does this meld with the "blessed assurance" so many speak of?

Any thoughts?

It seems clear that certain sins are taboo to speak of here so let's not get specific on the particular offense . So how do we deal with our fellow human beings living in such a state? Does it matter if they are Christian? Should we have compassion? Should we shun then and leave them to...

As most of us channel surf once in a while, I'm wondering what you have come across that disturbs your soul the worst. I mean is it occult type shows, foul language or something entirely different?

Yes, tomorrow (Dec. 21) is the day some say the world will end. Must not be believed by too many. I saw quite a few people buying next weeks groceries today. Are you ready? :P

"And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.' Once this "believing" happens, are we born again? Better yet as it's clear we don't all agree on what being born again is. Let me ask this a bit clearer: Have you received salvation "as soon" as you...

I think the title says it all. If so, how and if not why?

In reading through threads I keep noticing this group called CARM being cited as an authoritive group. I've read some of their stuff and found it a tad odd that a group would have a mission of deciding who's saved and who's not. The following is a snippet of one of their reviews of a group...

Should an Ordained minister wear vestments outside of worship services? OR better yet: Should an Ordained minister wear vestments when outside the Church and in public? Just interested in your thoughts.

I have posted here a good bit before introducing myself and I apologize for that. As my handle suggest, my name is Randy and I'm a pastor and a priest of an Charismatic Orthodox Church. I came to Christ in my late thirties from a wicked life of drugs, sex and confusion after spending time in...

I seem to have a bit of a problem seeing the difference between the words Israel and the Church. I suppose this is what makes me what people call a poor dispensationalist. I usually have no problem when I state that Israel is God's Chosen people.It's Bible and most don't disagree that this is...
