    Goodbye everyone

    Just wanted to let everyone here know I'm leavin' the site by next week. No hard feelings or anything, I'm just starting a new website, and with school, work, and other commitments thrown into the mix, I'm going to sacrifice my participation here. God bless :)

    Hell vs. the Grave

    If we look at the latest translations of the Bible, we see that the word 'hell' found in KJV is often replaced by the term 'grave.' To be honest, I cannot help but question the existence of eternal suffering. Yes, everyone certainly does deserve that, but honestly, I am struggling to believe...

    Limited Atonement

    When I share my beliefs with Arminian friends and family, they act as if I'm part of a cult, or that I'm some kind of heretic. But perhaps that is because I am not explaining my beliefs as well as I could. One of these is Limited Atonement. Would I be correct in defining limited atonement as...

    I need some help. *sigh*

    There's a girl at my church whom I've become considerably interested in over the past couple of months. I met her about two years ago, but haven't really gotten to know her as much as I would like. She is very quiet and shy. The problem here is, I am also very quiet and shy, particularly around...

    So liberals, what do you think of this?

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,1439312,00.html Is this a "woman's choice"?

    Where's the encouragement?

    I see a lot of topics around CF relating to virginity. Often, it turns into nothing more than a debate on whether virginity is "over-romanticized," too idealistic, et cetera. But what are we missing here? Why aren't the people who freely gave away their virginity before marriage not trying to...

    Australian Politics

    Do Christians there tend to favor the Liberal (conservative) Party? I'd like to hear what Christians think of John Howard. Also, how far to the left is the Labor Party compared to the Democrat Party in the United States? Where does Labor stand on abortion, "gay marriage," separation of God and...

    Barely escaped injury/death

    I almost ran into another car on the freeway. The car in front of me changes lanes, and there it was - a mini van stopped in right-lane of the freeway with his turn signal on. (I'm still trying to figure out what the heck he was trying to do.) Anyway, I slammed on the brakes, but the road was...

    Hyper-Arminianism?

    The other day I recalled a conversation I once had with an Arminian friend of mine. He was commenting on how several people may go to hell because of his decision not to share the gospel with them. At the time of the conversation, I too believed that salvation came through "free will"; thus, I...

    Everett, Washington

    I live near the Puget Park drive-in theater, towards 164th. I used to work at the Albertsons in Mill Creek. Anyone live in this area?

    Not planning to have children?

    For those who fall into this catagory, what were your reasons in coming to that decision? :) I'm just curious. I've never been able to understand it. Perhaps by sharing your perspective, I'll be able to understand. God bless

    Single on Valentine's Day

    Who else besides me? :P I am happy being single for now. I believe God intends this for at least the next couple of years. But, I guess I'll just have to wait and see. :) Perhaps He has a special surprise waiting for me along the way. Anyhow, just rememeber that God has a plan for each and...

    Did I choose God....or did God choose me?

    If it were God's Will for all to be saved, wouldn't everyone come to Christ? Where is the distinction between our will...and His Will? When we invited Christ into our lives, as I did not so long ago, was it by His Will alone that we received Him? I believe the answer is probably yes. I...

    Question for Everyone: Roe v Wade overturned?

    So, I'm curious as to how some everyone in general would feel if the SC overturned Roe vs Wade. Let's hear it. I would be overjoyed. There are other options available. There are over 3000 pregnancy centers in the United States, staffed by volunteers who can help low-income pregnant women...

    Friend is recovering

    http://www.christianforums.com/t1187436-urgent-prayer-needed.html My friend's surgery was a success against all odds. :clap: We prayed day and night for his physical restoration, and God has answered our request. I'm going up to the hospital to see him soon. I am so happy that God has saved...

    Hard times

    I've been feeling down lately, for three reasons. 1.) A friend of mine had a heart attack and is in the hospital. He is in a coma. The doctors have said the prognosis is "grim." I've been praying a lot about the situation but I can't help but be upset that I might not see him again. I could...

    Urgent, Prayer needed

    I just found out that a family friend had a heart attack this morning. No word yet on how he's doing. Please pray for his salvation, as I do not know whether he is saved or not, and for recovery, Lord willing.

    Feeder

    It's a British band. Hard to explain their genre, because it's very unique. Probably similar to Our Lady Peace in some ways. Anyone heard of them? My favorite album is Comfort in Sound, and my favorite song is also Comfort in Sound! ;)
