That argument doesn't hold water. Acts 8:9 says Simon used sorcery; and Acts 8:11 says the people were bewitched by his sorceries. Simon not only claimed that he did something, scripture says he did them. Not sure what point you're trying to make here. If you're trying to say that someone who's...

The original question I asked you had to do with speaking in tongues. As the verse you're looking at states, some prophesied in His name, but He told them He never knew them. I asked: if this is true of prophesying, couldn't it also be true for speaking in tongues? The answer is found in Acts...

Just saw that one happen at a Southern Baptist church I was visiting. Now you've got people who have known each other for 25 years that won't talk to each other. Won't even answer the phone if they can tell who's calling.

Um...I just realized Matt22 is a non-denom posting in the Baptists only section....

What did he say about your language reference to another poster here? Or did you delete that so he wouldn't see it? Or did you just happen to not show him that thread?

You'll notice that I didn't comment until well after you started exhibiting characteristics of your own opening post. Please allow me to say it again: "I thought the opening post was spot on. When the author of the opening post made the first personal attack, the thread went downhill from...

Amen! :thumbsup:

Well, let's see: Matt posted a list of characteristics of "bullies." Someone posted a statement that they believe psychology has no basis from scripture; and Matt responded with "truth hurts, doesn't it?" She then posted a link to an article describing characteristics of a forum bully, to which...

Matt22;37-39 -- do you condemn all Catholics because of the pedophile priests?

If you believe that's where it stops, your head is further in the ground than you realize.

I posted a section from the article YOU provided a link to that states the senators actually did vote the will if the people. Apparently the facts don't agree with your opinion, either.

You need to finish your study of "casting out devils, but He never knew them"; and be careful that you're not giving credit to God what is of satan....

CTB - this is your problem. You're reading with filters; and you don't critically read your own sources. From the Gallup article:

I don't drink. I don't condone it. I don't promote it. I believe it can be a stumbling block to others. But I don't see outright condemnation of it. I don't drink. But I know Christians that have made me consider it....

Your brother was 189?!? :laugh: just messin' with ya

Hey, CTB - you know what the problem with that cartoon is? Isn't it even remotely possible that those congressmen/women were actually representing the will of the people in the districts/states they actually represent? And if it is possible, even remotely, then shouldn't we be congratulating...

...Am I correct to say, we all agree that Nehemiah handed the king his wine? Which doesn't negate the point I was making in any way?

Did you just seriously correct me from saying "Nehemiah took the king his wine" to "Nehemiah handed the king his wine"? Did you do that with a straight face?

Well, that's certainly got me curious.... PM?

You do not understand the passage because the passage is not about encouraging people to speak in tongues; it's a rebuke because speaking in tongues was causing confusion and chaos in the assembly. Let all things be done decently and in order. You are not being honest with me. The subject is a...
