    Pastor/Preacher. Interchangeable?

    And they were gathered together or it was on a sabbath day as well and she was before those gathered there and spoke before them all. OK excuse the sarcasm. Theres a lot of JWs around here. Or is it "And she at that time gave thanks unto the Lord (kurios) and spoke to all that looked...

    Is it just my imagination, or are many folks here hostile to people who read the KJV?

    Ever read the Living Bible? Looks like a Mulligan stew to me.

    Pastor/Preacher. Interchangeable?

    Oh goodie lets be bewildered. Question was: Is preacher or pastor same thing? Well theres priests after the tribe of Levi, pastors as in shepherds which implies the idea of friend and leader where prophets are, well, prophets but were also preachers and sometimes pastors. Pastor is...

    God's purpose for evil's existence

    I think you kind of got what I was trying to say. Not what He does but why is the mystery part. You could say because He loves us and to bring glory to Him but thats not an answer to His reasons for being merciful. I quit trying to put God into some kind of comprehensible time oriented...

    The Culture War is Over and We Lost

    :tonofbricks: :rolleyes: I suppose you are also going to say they never held Sunday Worship Services in the Capitol either. David Barton said it best: John Locke's Two Treatises of Civil Government, from 1765. This is the basis of the Declaration. This quotes the Bible 1,700 times...

    I PREDICT: Closing Gitmo Opens Door to Another 9/11

    hmm If I remember right the first attempt was under Clinton's watch was a flop. A little clip on the news. The second attempt was another flop because they parked their bomb between two pillars instead of next to one and only wiped out the entire parking garage levels. Just in office, trying to...

    Is it just my imagination, or are many folks here hostile to people who read the KJV?

    :wavey: Personally I don't care. The fact remains that the best translation I have ever seen is the KJV. Where the general public may have trouble reading Old English in its meaning, more often than not newer versions are translations of the KJV into new english. Thus the analogy of copying...

    Selling at the Church?

    Now thats a good question. Nit picking vs goods for a ministry I would propose that any selling of materials be at least done somewhere away from the coming and going to the sanctuary if for no other reason than 1Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. The appearance to...

    Pastor/Preacher. Interchangeable?

    I vote post #2 by annsni But usually a preacher is thought of as an ordained minister with or without a church. Some of these posts either seem to be a grasp at self justification or a "know ones enemy" recon mission. To those on recon: :eek: My advice is go to the instruction manual. All...

    Rebaptism necessary?

    Good grief. Baptism is an act of obedience and a testimony of faith, after the fact. I have never seen any one toss a handful of dirt into a grave and everyone say "OK he's buried lets go home." Mark 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the...

    The Culture War is Over and We Lost

    1 Corinthians 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 32 .......... He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the...

    The Culture War is Over and We Lost

    You give yourself away in that is from the perspective that rights are granted as opposed to protected. For a right is a moral, biblical principal that was imprinted into the minds of those that drafted the original laws of this America. I believe today's view of individual rights were not...

    God's purpose for evil's existence

    Yet another ambient post One thing about suffering, it keeps you from being too proud of yourself. If I build an airplane with the knowledge that someone could fly it into a building, it doesn't mean that was my intention. Does that mean airplanes should have never been built? Consider...

    Did Christ Die Only for the Elect

    In all reality if sticking your hand out first constitutes being born, then you could say Esau was first born. Otherwise, the whole issue of Esau being rightful birthright heir is moot.

    Did Christ Die Only for the Elect

    Keyword is the Elect > (‘Particular’ because in their view Christ died only for the elect) What they believed as who the elect were is beyond me. However throughout the Bible the word translated into elect is "bachiyr" in Hebrew and "ekloge" or "eklektos" in the Greek. It simply is a word...
