This topic will go round and round if left to my wisdom. I will close with this passage which I believe sums up the problem.

faithlikearock - as they do the rest of the scriptures (clearly stating that paul's letters are in that group)

paulos23 - the problems is not ones treatment of other humans, but ones relationship to God that is the problem. all creation testifies to Him who created it

faithlikearock - concerning specific people - you are correct in a sense, but wrong in a broader sense - we need to be careful to understand the context of the writings, which many on forums like these do not do - that being said - the scope of these writings is much broader than to a specific...

faithlikearock - you are mistaken - paul very much knew he was writing scripture, as did peter and the other apostles they knew they were writing things to be passed from generation to generation, they knew they were writing scripture

paulos23 - rude by wordly standards - perhaps, but neglagent by biblical christian standards - if you saw that my house was on fire and could do something to help me realize it is on fire, but did not do so and i died in the burning house - you would be neglatent, that is how biblical christians...

paulos23 - please do not assume that i am not repenting, and constantly seeking to rid sin from my life - i do not assume that of anyone, however when clear sin is present and the person is confronted with it and refuses to repent, then they are unrepentant. - i would apeal to Matthew 18, but as...

i am sure there are many good threads on the inspiration of scripture, so i will not go into it here. there is a clear presupositional difference between biblical christians and those that claim to be chrisitan and reject the authority of scripture in short, why claim to be christian and...

wanderingone - rise in acceptance of this particular sin by those that call themselves christian, and calling this particular sin good.

TheManeki I find it interesting that you believe you can reconcile humanism and christianity. Also, if you are going to quote scripture in your signature, please use it in context. I have included the context here. The purpose of this section is to show that the gospel was not only for...

I do not make my appeal from science, or from psychology, nor do I believe that all homosexuals necessarily do all the things that are attributed to them. That being said, here is what I believe, and that which I believe scripture teaches, the only authority for living a godly life. Please note...

To the OP and his supporters: I do not make my appeal from science, or from psychology, nor do I believe that all homosexuals necessarily do all the things that are attributed to them. That being said, here is what I believe, and that which I believe scripture teaches, the only authority for...

I had not been on these forums for several years, in fact november 2003 was the last time i was on. in that time, I have come to see the grevious errors of Rome, and have embraced the gospel as handed down by the Apostles. As a reformed baptist (calvinist) I recant all that I had said in this...

All, I know that is has been a long time since my last post.  I have been very busy with work and family. The birth of our second child has been a real blessing.  I look forward to the life ahead. I am asking for your prayers today because of what appears to be imminent...

This is Liam Patrick the morning after. Thank you all for your responses - I am very proud of my wife.  She wanted to have this baby at home.  I was first a bit unsure, but I am very glad we did. http://www.christianforums.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=2003

/me walks into the pub Hello all - it has been quite some time since I posted. I have been very busy with work and family. I wanted to take a moment to thank KC and isshinwhat for honoring my request for anonymity. If you did not figure it out, well here it goes -- /me was formally...

Our 19month old is beginning to cause trouble.  We are not wanting to spank - but he is realy testing us.  Tonight he would not eat pizza - and as you guess he loves pizza.  he has never been a picky eater - but he fought us all during dinner tonight.  He would eat other...

There are many great commentaries - a good overall resource is: The New Jerome Biblical Commentary. This new edition was edited by the following: Raymond Edward Brown, Joseph A. Fitzmyer, Ronald E. Murphy, Roland E. Murphy. Each of these are great writers and worthy of reading. Infact Hahn would...

DecepticonZ: I understand your frustration. Each of us are asked to accept Christ in a state of "original sin." We are not preserved from sin, yet we are able to make the same decision - to say "yes" to God's will. Mary did not need to be sinnless to make such a statement of faith. If that...

I agree wholeheartedly with you on this one.  I used to be a member of the "Blue Army", as well as the "Marian Movement of Priests".  I finally realized that I did not need to go through Mother Mary to have a relationship with Jesus.  I still ask for the Blessed Mothers prayers -...
