    Why Believe Evolution Theories?

    I'm interested in hearing why persons here believe in the theory of evolution. I'm not here to knock anyone's beliefs, since we all have reasons for believing things, but I would like to hear why persons here believe for example, that human beings evolved from a microscopic, bag-like sea...

    Cards on The Table

    As Scriptures teach, I don’t believe there is a pre-trib rapture. From what I read I do perceive that we’ll go all together. For Jesus said we would be there to see the tribulation. And some of us they’ll put to death, but we have our salvation. But don’t be sad, for it’s not bad to suffer for...

    Should our Desires Form our Beliefs?

    I read this on Twitter yesterday, posted by a fellow Christian: “When I let my desires form my beliefs, then essentially I begin talking to Scripture rather than it talking to me.” I believe the Lord Jesus led me to read this tweet, and so I inquired of the Lord what he wanted to teach me...

    Why Quarrel and Fight?

    James 4:1-2 NIV “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight.” If you are one who professes faith in Jesus Christ, and if you...

    Faith Evaluation Survey

    I know this may be out of place but I think it is important to know issues within the church and among different denominations, so I made a survey to try to figure out the main issues. If you all would take a minute to fill out the survey, I'd really appreciate it! Faith Evaluation

    What I believe based on Scripture

    1. I believe Salvation is ONLY through The Messiahs grace. (Acts.15. 11:But by the grace of our Master Y'shua The Mashiyach, we believe we are saved as our they.) 2. I believe that once we receive salvation we are to turn from all sin. And what makes a sin a sin is Transgression from His Law...

    United Methodist/ELCA beliefs

    My home church is a 45 minute drive away from the city where I live. I've been involved in some ministries at a local United Methodist Church as well as the United Methodist college ministry. I read through the Methodist beliefs and they seem that they are basically the same as the ELCA...

    She Swallowed a Spider

    James 3:1-5a ESV Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. If we put bits...

    Would you feel obligated to give offering under these circumstances?

    Let's say that you attend a mid-week Bible study each week at a church whose majority of members have liberal morals and beliefs that are off the chart, and for this reason, it's the LAST church in town you'd ever want to join. Would you feel a sense of obligation to donate a limited amount of...

    Fear or Faith – Genesis 32:7,8,9,10,11

    Fear or Faith – Genesis 32:7,8,9,10,11 In Genesis 32:7-11, we can see how fear of what may happen and fear of the circumstances, put the faith of Jacob in the promise of God on hold. God has promised Jacob, what he will do with him in the future, and how he will bless him in the future, and...

    A Process

    There are those who teach that once you are saved, indicating that salvation is a single, one-time experience, that you are sinless from that point forward, i.e. that you cannot commit a single sin and still be a Christian. Some will say that you lose your salvation every time that you sin and...

    My Book on Encountering a Legend -- 'Witnessing Bigfoot' Glen Boulier

    As a person with an Evangelical background, I have seen the elusive species at least twice -- in 1974 & 1985, at Princeton, B.C. This would ultimately lead to an investigation of the subject (off and on) for over 22 years. I wanted answers as to maybe why? In this quest, I would find...
