    Old Testament Value

    Many young Christians are of the opinion the Old Testament, while important, is not much more than history. While a vital part of the entire Bible, many have come to more or less simply discount it away. But wait a minute. We're told in 2nd Timothy 3:16, "All scripture is given by...

    Salty, I found a man I went through basic training with via Facebook. Might not hurt to try and find your friend that way.

    Military service

    To begin with, Christianity is foreign to this world. Let alone the military. However, until just recently the military went out of their way for all personnel to have the individual right to believe in their Lord as there has never been an atheist found in any foxhole. For sure though, the...

    I am not judging any person. I am calling sin sin. It is a sin to steal. Not paying what you owe is stealing. ...one day, given the right circumstances, your attitude will change.

    The Grand Design and Philosophy: (William Lane Craig)

    ...600 light years away, or 3,521,828,160,000,000 miles away. If we left today, using existing technology, it would take...wait for it...2 million years. What a universe our Lord has created. What an amazing universe! All the while some folks here on earth have fully convinced themselves...

    The Grand Design and Philosophy: (William Lane Craig)

    I saw an article yesterday on Yahoo.com where the scientific community has just located a planet and it has been determined that it will support human life. Apparently through the Hubble they noticed a sign making reference to a 15 percent "Landing Tax" for all out of their world visitors. Now...

    Should a Deacon

    Believers on this forum could be discussing the over-haul of a 1957 Chevy Transmission but looking beyond the specific topic..., judging is the real topic. John the Baptist is the only man recorded in the Bible who was born with the Spirit of the Lord already in place. (Luke 1:17, "And he...

    The Grand Design and Philosophy: (William Lane Craig)

    From the article. Why, then, do they pronounce philosophy dead and claim as scientists to be bearing the torch of discovery? Simply because that enables them to cloak their amateurish philosophizing with the mantle of scientific authority and so avoid the hard work of actually arguing for...

    How do these examples relate to the topic at hand? I thought we were judging people..., sorry, by bad.

    Should a Deacon

    Should a deacon be booted out because his adult daughter comes home pregnant three times over? Or, because his brother was arrested for shoplifting? How about his wife having a mental breakdown? I'd say that any deacon who had been arrested for something, lets say, like being arrested...

    Should a Deacon

    I worked for 5 years going with the bare necessities to get out of debt. Read your own words. Bottom line is..., you were able to work yourself out of debt. Way too many people ARE NOT ABLE. You're young. Many people are old.

    And filing bankrupcy (IMO) is taking the easy way out. That's fine. Should you ever find yourself having to face the prospect of bankruptcy..., get back up with me then to explain your position.

    Should a Deacon

    And how much did he owe? Jesus was poor, yes. But he didn't borrow and not return. How then did He pay His way? Didn't I read somewhere about a coin in the mouth of a fish? Unlike many today making car payments; big screen TV payments; cable bill payments; cell phone payments; or...

    Should a Deacon

    Opinions are like noses. Everyone has one. Needless to say, I've expressed "my opinion" regarding this matter of bankruptcy and rest assured, I am not going to roll over and play dead should some alleged Christian begin to look down their nose at be because I don't meet "their" expectations...

    Should a Deacon

    But does a person never become bankrupt through no fault on their part? Did Job's critics/best friends/brothers in God sit in judgement of him? They certainly did. Five thousand years later a Christian ends up in the soup while his critics/best friends/brother in Christ/Church Body in general...

    Should a Deacon

    ...anyone who files for bankrupcy shold not be allowed to be a leader in the church until it is taken care of. Even though it may not be their fault, bankrupcy is robbing people who are due money. With all due respect..., this is Amazing! Absolutely Amazing! "You", were able to work...

    Should a Deacon

    Something that I came to realize while going through my ordeal (bankruptcy) is that it is totally legal for lenders to utilize really big screws when dealing with their customers. The idea regarding the Free Market is that if a customer is willing to pay the price then said price is not high at...

    Should a Deacon

    Until one has found themself totally and completely destroyed financially you will not be able to identify with this burden in your life. I had to file for bankruptcy. It was not something I wanted to do and was contrary to the work ethic for which I was raised..., but things happen. In his...

    relapse?

    righteousdude2, you know what I came to realize a while back? Our Lord no where in His Word tells us to walk the isle; to go on visitation every Thursday evening; to wear a suit to Church every Sunday morning; to argue doctrine; to tell others they are wrong; to present ourselves as the...

    It won't matter, he will ignore your ignore tab. And, he'll do it before you ignore him! And,he'll do it better! Narcissism comes to mind.
