    Should we expect miracles?

    Alright, getting back. I grouped each 'camp's' reasoning into 4 topics, which I think covers it all. These are, however, reasons-- not means, not results, and not even persuasions in themselves. The argument of persuasion always comes down to faith. Then comes means and results; mayb,e but maybe...

    Obama Booed at DC's Verizon Center After Attending Elite 8 Game After Golf Outing

    Didn't he "boo" Syracuse by saying Indiana would win the tournament, and they were eliminated by Syracuse. If he's going to step outside the responsibilities of his office and poke his nose into something extraneous thereto, he should face the consequences. It that was good enough for Hank...

    Should we expect miracles?

    A quick lookup says a miracle is "a marvellous event manifesting a supernatural act of God." As you might ask, to me it is not an unlikely recovery or anything that simple that some people try to shove the word into.

    Should we expect miracles?

    This writeup is posted in this forum just so it is not limited to Baptists to respond. Those who have read anything I've posted before about this know I am not "on the fence," or haven't come to any conclusions. But I am trying to consider this question from both angles. There have been some...

    Am I a Bigot

    So it's not based on repentance, yet "individuals do not continue a life long pattern of sin in the same manner as before salvation." Do they then have absolutely no choice but to turn from sin, even though their salvation is not based on that? As for David, he committed more acts that miss the...

    Am I a Bigot

    I have a question based on the last point you made. If these pastors [and I don't assume you're limiting this line of thought to them only] had sin in their lives, namely hatred/prejudice, and you wonder about their eternal destiny, I suppose that must be because of sin of which they may have...

    Making a mountain out of a mole hill?

    It does sound a little cheesy.

    How did Jesus know and grow here below?

    The interesting thing with the poll so far is that there is not agreement about any of the statements, as only 4 out of 10 say he knew who he was by birth or before, while 4 out of 10 say he came to know who he was as he grew. And 40% is the greatest answer percentage of any of the statements...

    Spring Break and it's already THURSDAY! ...

    I had a spring break once. Believe me, you never want that to happen when you're on a pogo stick.

    Churches could be forced to marry 'gays'

    It is not within any reasonable expectation now that churches will be 'forced' to perform weddings for same-sex couples, but it is easy to see the legal theory that may emerge over the coming years or decades. That is, that if minister is going to be a 'civil servant' in officiating at ceremony...

    Obama and Moses

    How did Jesus know and grow here below?

    Do humans know anything God doesn't? If there was nothing for him to grow in other than a physical body-- that is, he had no growing mentally to do-- those 30 years may have been more anguish than the beatings and the cross, which took place in one day. That must compare to one of us having to...

    How did Jesus know and grow here below?

    It hadn't even occurred to me yet, in thinking about this, that my own little (by comparison) experience is kind of similar. The night I made my decision for Christ was March 17, 1969, when I was 10, and there was a county-wide youth revival at a small town's public high school. Many churches...

    If the Republicans change platform to accept Homosexu@l marriage...

    There is a lot of talk about the Republican Party being scrapped, passe, or whatever, because it failed to win back the White House in '12. But if you remember the 70's and similar talks then, you should be convinced there is not a great deal of reason to be concerned. The party came back and...

    How did Jesus know and grow here below?

    It's split 2-2 so far as to whether Jesus knew from birth or before who he was, compared to that as he grew he came to know who he was. The implications of the first don't necessarily go outside these points, such as whether he knew every human language and geographical fact even before he was...

    Death Penalty

    Boy, are you going to consistent and say that since DNA evidence has shown many cons who have spent years in prison innocent that prison should be abolished?

    How did Jesus know and grow here below?

    This is a subject that (it seems to me) has always been one of reluctance to try to understand.. But not without good reason, I suppose, because the purpose of the gospels and epistles is to put our faith and trust in Him, not to contemplate whether he knew he was the fullness of the godhead...

    Where did GOD come from ?

    Kenneth Hagin gave the address for the house in which he claimed to have died, gone to hell, and then came back, and it's in my town. I've driven by it, and it's a single level home, but looks big enough to have 4 bedrooms. And there's something in a window, but I've forgotten just what it is...
