What is the role of deacon? In a church we belonged to (PCUSA - but a very conservative one), there were women deacons but their job was to take care of the physical needs of people. They met once a month to cook food to fill the freezer that would be used to bring food to the sick, elderly...

Our pastor has a picture of himself with Barbara Bush. I'm sure she remembers him.......

Can you show me the Scripture that shows that God preached to the dead in expectation of a response for salvation? And yes, all things are possible with God - except He can't act against His character. You forget that.

Do you have scripture that supports this idea?

To be honest, that is pretty much every job out there. I've applied for 6 jobs in the last two months and the only one I heard from was the one that wanted me. The ones I didn't get where they said they would call never did.

I don't know the details of your experience but to be honest, I would be afraid to employ you. You sound quite obsessive and even after being told you didn't have the job, you continued to harass them and I don't blame them for sending you that final e-mail. Walk away from that church. Leave...

I don't QUITE agree with that. :) Pastoring is hard physically, emotionally and mentally. I think it is good for senior pastors to step down from the pastorate and pass it on to the next generation but that doesn't mean their work is done. Even if they were to "retire", I think pastoring is...

Well, after just a short time of our pastor being at our church, there was a move to oust him but he withstood that and has been here ever since. I was looking through some of our old photo albums and history and I saw where another former pastor's info was and (I knew this already but it was...

Today we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our pastor coming to our church! 50 years of faithful ministry! In the last year he has stepped back from preaching and handed the senior pastor role to the senior associate pastor but he is still here and still imparting his wisdom. While there...

I watched the whole video and the board didn't ask for her to be arrested. It seems that the guard/officer was overzealous in his actions. The board actually called on the woman and she was not speaking out of turn. The one guy told her he didn't want to hear it but another board member was...

Seriously!! What's with the dress? I can say with great assurance that Jesus didn't look like that going to the cross. :(

Hi Birdlover. Martin gave you solid advice. Your husband is fighting the Spirit and not just you but it is important that you keep yourself in the Word of God and meeting with His people if at all possible. Pray for your husband. I know wives who have prayed for their husbands for decades...

I don't think anyone condones Mr. Anderson but I also don't think he has much of a following to bother making a statement against him. I've been vocal here and on one other site where someone was asking about him but no one in my real life has ever mentioned him. He's just a nut with very few...

Can you show support for this assertion?

Actually, you don't. You explain away the clear instruction and teaching of Scripture regarding hell.

OK - I see a problem here. Jesus did not descend to hell (the place of torment) after His crucifixion.

What if someone chooses to not sin?

No - That wasn't me who wrote that.

So God is evil to send sinful people to hell?

So you say that hell is kind of a purgatory where one is "corrected" and then what? Can you show me in Scripture where we read that those who have been "corrected" by hell can now get to heaven? Because I can show you clearly where Jesus Himself said that the gulf between the two are too wide...
