    Biblical affirmation of Jesus's divinity

    I was debating a JW the other day about Jesus's divinity, and was having trouble finding the words. Obviously, I firmly hold to the claim that Jesus is God, but couldn't defend that as well as I'd have liked to. Anyways, does anyone have a list (or a link to a list) of every time in the Bible...

    What's Wrong with Modern Christian Music?

    I hear it too often these days, but no one has taken their time to respond with a legit argument. Why is modern Christian music so bad?

    Possibility of Aliens even with Christian Theology
