    How Many Days Would It Take?

    Imagine you are a 3 year old to 8 year old child. Imagine you are 15. You are on your own without adults. You are asked to walk from Houston, Texas to Minneapolis, Minnesota on your own with no food or belongings to sustain you. Then you are asked to walk an addition 100 miles past...

    To Mods: Having trouble with the FireFox browser

    I tried FireFox a few years ago and it was just totally eat up with problems with no apparent way to make it work properly. I switched to google. No problem what-so-ever.

    Stop Yappin' & Listen On Occasion

    This fellow enters a church, just converted and excited. Everything the preacher said brought an excited 'Amen!!!' from him. A deacon in front of him became irritated. Suddenly this deacon told him to settle down, and the young convert said (not being theologically accurate, mind you) 'I...

    Sending PMs to Someone Who Blocked Them

    I was hoping someone would have good advice, and you came to the rescue, in a folksy kinda way... :thumbs: ...that's the hillbilly in me. Some consider me a full bubble off plum; two sandwiches shy of a picnic; about as handy as a back pocket on a shirt but for real..., I’m happier than...

    Sending PMs to Someone Who Blocked Them

    There sho'nuff is a way. The next time they respond to a thread, try something like this. "Hey Myrtle..., I want/need/desire to send you a PM. Bridge-down the moat. Open the door. Let me in we-ooop." :laugh:

    Should personal attacks be tolerated in private messages?

    Matt Wade..., I don't have a clue as to whom you're referring to but you need to bury the hatchet. Every e-mail server I've ever seen has a "delete" button. Use it! Don't read it! ...get on with your life. :thumbs:

    Illiteracy and Spiritual Growth

    When thinking about this subject, this verse repeatedly comes to mind: "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." -Romans 10:17. Thanks Rolf. Proof positive that I don't need to go to Yale to be a Christian. :tongue3::laugh:

    Creation Moments

    Here's a website that some of you might find interesting. www.creationmoments.com They take the nonsense out of the idea of evolution and show quite clearly that our Lord's hand is in all of His creation.

    Illiteracy and Spiritual Growth

    While a Sophomore in High School a notice was posted about taking an IQ test. It was two hours long and I said to myself..., "Self, go ahead. You'll get out of English and Biology class. It was play time, to me. Besides, I didn't know the difference between an IQ Test and a Left Handed Water...

    Stop Yappin' & Listen On Occasion

    HAMel, I get what you're saying in your post. p4truth, I know you do. To be honest, my thread title was a bit sarcastic on purpose. While in attendance in a Baptist Church in upState New York many years ago the pastor (perhaps in his late 70's) made a comment and I responded with...

    Stop Yappin' & Listen On Occasion

    I read where some of the Apostles would present themselves in the Synagogues and teach. Is teaching preaching? Perhaps.

    Stop Yappin' & Listen On Occasion

    I wonder how many people who attend church are so intimidated and fearful of ridicule they simply sit there and listen? Never to open their mouf's and ask a question? Never to ask confirmation or seek insight over one Bible issue or another? For example. On this forum..., because it's a...

    A Great Study...

    DHK..., I'm in agreement with you. The Holy Spirit will not be put on a shelf somewhere awaiting the next assignment. No, the Holy Spirit will not have believers on scene to spread the gospel. I am of the opinion (seeing as how I ain't all that edumacted) but do believe that many will be...

    To drink...or not to drink...that is the question.

    this..., no I didn't miss your original post at all and I agree with it. An addiction is a three pronged fork and it takes much to overcome. One never gets "over it" they just learn how to deal with it. ...do you think someone can become "addicted" to the Bible? Addicted in such a way they...

    A Great Study...

    lol...awww my friend don't be so uptight as to think others have come down so hard upon others. That is not the case. And besides, we all know that when we age our actual skin becomes thinner, not thicker!!!!!!!!!! I'm not "up tight" and for sure, our physical skin does get thinner. Ask me...

    A Great Study...

    No need for anyone to apologize. No need what-so-ever. Besides, I'm a big guy rapidly approaching 70 so my skin is a bit tough. I just don't see the need to come down on folks like so many of you do. I mean..., BANG!!! BIG EXPLOSION!!! GOTTA PUT THIS DUDE IN HIS PLACE!!! ME EDUCATED HIM...

    Thanks you folks..., you validated my point.

    A Great Study...

    Folks, it's kind of sad but it does seem to me that some of you are so in need of showing others their error(s). "How intelligement you is and how dumbs some of the rest of us is." Really, that is how it appears to me. So, for your consideration, please be advised that I'm still "entitled"...

    To drink...or not to drink...that is the question.

    A couple years ago, the American Society of Addiction Medicine came up with a very accurate definition of what constitutions addiction. It embraces the spiritual, psychological, and physiological realities of addiction: For years..., AA has referred to it as a spiritual, mental and physical...

    A Great Study...

    By that logic then God is being an abusive parent to Iraqi Christians right now who are suffering horribly, indeed they suffer great tribulation right now, at the hands of Muslim extremists. Also the Holy Spirit cannot be removed from the earth. The Spirit is God. God is omnipresent. Thus he...
