The question of the title thread of course isn't about whether you're for it or not but I'm seeking answers as to what people are thinking about the recent racial tensions in the USA in the last year. And because I messed up the thread title so bad, what I'm asking is if this is something that...

In the GT forum we were discussing the gift of speaking in tongues and were talking about how many denominations teach that the gift of speaking in tongues were necessary for salvation. It looks like we agree that it is a minority of charismatics/Pentecostals who believe that it is necessary...

I made a comment in another thread. In an attempt to not derail that thread I am bringing my post over here for discussion. Here is the post: And here is where I think I need to clarify a few things about myself and my beliefs in general. Stating that I'm an ex-Roman Catholic usually sends...

It's been said in this forum that Protestants use extra Biblical sources, traditons, or writtings, to base doctrines on. I would like to see examples of this.

I see people around here every once in a while repeating this phrase but there doesn't seem to be a true universal definition as to what this phrase means. I get several different ideas of this from people. I believe that now we have the law written on our hearts means that; for one, the law...

I have an honest question here as I'm a bit confused as to what people believe about good works and deeds compared to acts of obedience to the Law. In the poll thread I made on Gods rewarding obedience to the Law vs our acts of Faith I was starting to get confused as to what some people were...

I like polls here because it's usually a good way to gauge how people in our little GT community thinks or believe on a given subject or theology. The question is, does God reward our obedience to the law or is it our faith that He rewards?

Ephesians 4:22-24, You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by it's deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true rightesousness and holiness. Just so...

God is pleased by one thing and one thing only, faith. Whether you're exhibiting faith through action in your life or by faithfully believing that God is good and gracious and will ultimately answer your prayers, this is what pleases him. When you look at all of the characters in the Bible, it's...

I get confused almost everytime people start accussing others of bashing their beliefs or church. I don't want to do this, or be falsely accused of this either. What confuses me though is that sometimes the same people who have accused others of bashing their church or movement I've seen make...

If you need a definition: discounting a whole theology, and or belief sytem/paradigm, because of objecting or disagreeing to a minor point of that belief. I see people doing this all the time, and it doesn't matter what theology or doctrine is being discussed. To me this is about being closed...

I'm going to be very busy the next couple days and don't know if I'll get a chance to say this then, so, please, I wish for all of you to have a very merry Christmas! :) Here's two choraliers in hopes to help make your coming days bright, light, and merry...

My uncle died on Monday so I've been feeling rather sad. Although it is a sad thing I am also very happy now that he is done with his sufferings and is now with my dad and his parents who have gone on before him, I bet they are now having a very swell time about right now. :) One of my...

There's this guy I work with (Doug) who claims to be gifted with discerment, the spiritual gift that is. The Pastor of his church is a very good friend of his, so close that he is always seeking his advise on, it seems, everything. I don't have a problem with that. They're good friends and Doug...

We all know the Easter morning story of Mary talking to Jesus, thinking He was the gardener, and him telling her not to touch her because He has not yet ascended to the Father. Then just hours or days latter Jesus meets is discipals and tells Thomas to put his hand into his wounds. Doesn't one...

Not that I haven't ever heard this before but willful sin and unwillful sin seems to be a belief by some that means alot to them. It even seems that some people believe that while willful sin leads to death, unwillful sin will not. Even when St. Paul said that the wages of sin is death. That to...

What I mean by categorizing sin is does God classify sin. Is sin classified into real bad sin, bad sin, and then not so bad sin? I believe God does not categorize sin in that He views all sin as bad, period, there aren't good or bad sins. He doesn't classify sin into different groups of large...

10 long years ago I joined this forum. I had some very strong beliefs, thanks to my Catholic upbringing, but my relationship with God was lacking and I didn't belong to or attend any church or denomination. Through the years I have grown strong in the Lord, in both relationship and in theology...
