Well rev..., I would say the scientific community and the news media are still trying to catch up with the Bible. :thumbs:

My apologies revmwc. That what I get for not reading.

LONDON (AFP) – Christians have long celebrated Jesus Christ's Last Supper on Maundy Thursday but new research released Monday claims to show it took place on the Wednesday before the crucifixion. Professor Colin Humphreys, a scientist at the University of Cambridge, believes it is all due to...

Well, he does have a "B S" degree and has made a ton of money over the years.

We had terrible storms come across our area last night (Eastern North Carolina) causing severe damage in many of our surrounding areas. A terrible cell of lighting, high winds and tornadoes came right over the Southwest Area, which is where we live. Just prior to the storm I asked the Lord to...

Rapture theology is less than 200 years old and it all goes back to the 1800s. May I ask what you mean by "Rapture Theology"? I'm just curious.

Anyone know what "Laminins" are? The "cross" in our bodies that holds everything together. Do a search on the internet on the word. You'll be surprised at what you find. They are cell adhesion molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would...

The Judge that overturned the vote regarding Proposition 8, regarding same sex marriage, is a homosexual himself. He claims to have had a 10 year relationship with some doctor. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=287077 His decision has now opened the door for more of this...

If one does an in-depth study of the Christmas Tree you will come to the conclusion that there is really nothing wrong or pagan about it at all. Back in the day, not knowing how to celebrate the birth of Christ many items were absorbed and used for the celebration. The tree, the holly, etc...

Actually, revmwc, it's not me. A very dear friend of ours provides care for an elderly woman who has finally succumbed to Alzheimer's. This was confirmed last Wednesday a week ago by her doctor and on Friday, here comes the Department of Social Services to investigate physical and mental...

The pastor I grew up under went to visit in my Mom's uncles home, his brother and sister in law were there. They believed you reach the point where you don't sin anymore and she said I have reached that point in my life where I don't sin anymore. To which my former pastor looked at her and said...

Do you believe that the daily local news is a form of gossip? Repeat. The Hebrew word translated “gossip” in the Old Testament is defined as “one who reveals secrets, one who goes about as a talebearer or scandal-monger.” A gossiper is a person who has privileged information about people...

Suggest you define gossip vs. normal discussions within a group about everyday happenings about other people both people know. You don't know what constitutes gossip? Perhaps this is the problem. Phone lines being burned up "with the latest" news about Sister Sadie, or Brother Homer, is...

One of the worst things any member of any church can do is to spread gossip. A small church not far from us is absolutely eat up with this sin and no one seems to step up to the plate and say enough is enough. By this I mean, when the gossip flows everyone just adds their little twist to it...

I really doubt you will be able to find a good book on the subject. One author will be hard core far left and the next, hard core far right. The best guidance on the matter should come from the Bible and what's best for the individual. The Lord does the convicting.

Is there anything wrong with taking kids to see a Mickey Mouse movie? Or a street carnival? A circus? A Fall Festival? I'm 66 years old. I can still remember some of the fun things from my early childhood days. One of 'em is running around the yard with other kids my own age just...

So if that is all there is to salvation, why did Jesus have to shed his blood, die on the cross and be resurrected? There's another way? I always understood that a person had to 1, admit they were a sinner; 2, confess that Jesus was Lord; 3, ask the Lord to save them. This is what the one...

I thought they were all the same? My copy goes back to the 1970's and I don't see how they could change.

Hmmm....I don't believe in baptism for the remission of sins, but I'm not sure I'd use the thief on the cross as an example to refute the idea. Why not? The thief on the cross decided that he was there to receive the due reward of his deeds (Sin) but this man (Jesus) hath done nothing amiss...

"...but my Church of Christ friends are adamant that it is at the point of baptism someone actually receives forgiveness of sin." Ask 'em about that thief on the cross. Did he get baptized? And did he not find himself in paradise that day?
