    Christian tradition and Protestant denial of it

    I'm in 100% agreement with you in that tradition is inescapable, because you can't undo history, so naturally it's had an impact. We are fortunate to have access to all these historical writings. My works won't be judged, though, according to how well I obeyed tradition, rather according to how...

    Christian tradition and Protestant denial of it

    Semantics, semantics everywhere. Perhaps, trying to be too concise, I miss-communicated. Extra-Biblical texts can help us and are certainly useful, but they are NOT the Word of God. They do not supersede Scripture. Teachers are important because they can help convey the message of the word to...

    Who believes we are in the latter days and that the Rapture will happen in our lifetime?

    I try to live like I believe we are in the end times and that the rapture could happen at any moment. I fail often at this and just live life without "Being alert". To answer your question in a round about way, OP, I would say I wouldn't be surprised if we were. Although, for me to assume...

    Responding to bad advice

    Why are you asking for advice in the first place? I think you should take the people's advice. Just in case that "whooshed" over anyone's head, I'll be serious: If you need to vent and don't want any advice, a great thing to say beforehand is "Listen, do you mind just listening to me vent, I...

    Christian tradition and Protestant denial of it

    I'll try keep it as brief as possible. Church history is important for us, in that it helps us have an overview of what has happened since the Early Church, gives us an insight, their writings give us other point of views or confirmation on beliefs regarding the Bible etc... However, it...

    Science vs. Christian

    Mate, to be honest, I don't see what's so difficult in seeing his point? He's explained it quite well, in his defense. Unless you're asking a loaded question and only presenting two options; committing a false dilemma fallacy by the way; because you have an agenda on where you want to lead the...

    Is it ok to monetize a christian youtube channel?

    Monetising a YouTube channel is neither moral nor immoral. However, I would say, though, that the intent is what would make the action good or bad. Why do you want to monetise the content? Why do you seek to gain a profit from this? What are your true intentions? Only you can answer that and...

    Science vs. Christian

    Just nitpicking your title OP, but science doesn't really have an agenda; it's not an entity; as in it's not VS. anything really. I can use science (or the scientific method) to prove things of the Bible and I can use science to prove "Christian" is a real person, so in that case would it not...

    Should I be praying for a relationship?

    Hey brother, my prayers are with you as you try navigate this phase of single-hood and searching for the right partner. Praying would be a good idea, it's always good to submit our requests to Him. Speak to Him and continue to read His Word. What I would suggest, on a practical aspect, though...

    Greetings from Europe

    Thanks all! Appreciate your messages @mnorian Yes, I do love music, especially music that glorifies God and exalts Him. So, praise and worship or just theocentric music in general, pretty much any genre! Thanks for the info, I'll have a gander! @ProGoddess So I lurked for a bit, but not all...

    Greetings from Europe

    Hey guys, new here! Recently re-moved to Europe from another part of the world. Decided I'd sign up here to get some good Christian (online) fellowship, since there are a lack of solid, practicing Christians in my parts (of Ireland) within my age group. That being said, hope you all have an...
