    Leaving Paganism

    Bluerose, maybe ask yourself what some of the aspects or virtues you believed this goddess possessed were. Then, seek out where these are found in the one true God, search the scriptures for them. Every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of Lights! (James 1:17) Also, search out...

    Drinking a beer does not go against Bible

    What part of what I wrote is "simply not true"? My translation of the Hebrew words (I studied Hebrew in seminary), or the examples from Scripture I shared? Your reply isn't a reply. You simply cut-and-pasted a list that is supposedly authoritative. Some of the verses there are commented...

    Drinking a beer does not go against Bible

    In Hebrew, yayin = wine and shakar = strong drink. Search the words and you will see that the two words are coupled together, time and time again in the OT. Almost each time, they are used in a context which at least hints at (if not focuses on) their intoxicating effects, sometimes positively...

    Drinking a beer does not go against Bible

    Are you that naïve, bro? You don't know what the verb "trolling" refers to in an internet forum? Call it what you want. If you, a grown man, are offended by someone being called a small dwarf that lives under a bridge (which is not what it refers to in its connotation, only as a double...

    Drinking a beer does not go against Bible

    I only read the first and last pages here (this thread is legion...), but has anyone addressed this scripture passage yet? Deuteronomy 14:22-26English Standard Version (ESV) Tithes 22 “You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. 23 And before the Lordyour...

    Its a California party.........

    Protein style? I used to be an animal style guy, but now I just get regular, but with the onions grilled. I do like animal style fries, however, in fact, I had some today! (And if you don't know what I'm talking about, you are not from CA so GO HOME!) ha ha :cry: And the In 'N Out on...

    IDM and modern electronic/blipcore/video game-ish

    Thanks for the link, Treasurewords. i checked out the merck records site and they have some pretty cool stuff. BTW--I'm not familiar with the IDM designation? What does it stand for?

    what pentecostal are you?

    Thanks for the comment. And yes, I realize that women are "visual," too! But to develop true lust over a calf? (And I hope you are separating admiration or even attraction from "lust" which is a much stronger word...) I don't know, if someone is that easily stimulated to lust they probably...

    How Is This Not Being Mentioned - Massive Tidal Wave/earthquake In Asia!!!

    One of my best friends is from Indonesia and though he lives here, he still has family back there. Luckily, they live on Java, so I'm sure they probably felt the quake, but w/o a lot of damage. One sad factor is that there are very few Christians in that part of the world. May the Lord have...

    Has anybody ever traced there genealogy back to Jesus?

    I can trace back to the 1500s in Devonshire County, England, on my Dad's side so far (my last name is Dart) and my mom's side, Walker, goes back to Scotland and England and they were probably originally Norman (Norse Danish via Normandy, France). I am Scots Irish on my mom's mom's side (Foster)...

    what pentecostal are you?

    Oh, P.S. Our church is pretty liberal regarding personal appearance. I don't see Jesus in the Bible appointing a disciple to stand at the door to check dress codes. All of the prostitutes that he ministered to probably couldn't come then. If you are a believer, that's one thing, use your head...

    what pentecostal are you?

    Hey, all. I go to a Foursquare Church. There is a lot of variety in 4 Sq., I used to go to the Church on the Way (Jack Hayford's church) which is a lot more "Pentecostal" than our church, which for better or worse, follows the "seeker sensitive" model more or less (like a Calvary Chapel). We do...

    Marilyn Manson...anyone like him??

    Yeah, Marylin Manson is "ordained" in the Church of Satan, founded by Anton LaVey. And yes, that form of Satanism is a worship of Self, with the Devil as an icon of sorts. Which is exactly what the devil did to fall from being Lucifer--he thought he could be God. Which is exactly what most of us...
