    Does your church use social media?

    Forgot to include this in the opening post: How about the senior citizens in the church? Does anyone use streaming video to allow "home-bound" church members to "participate" in church services/functions in "real time"? Has anyone set up a group or organization within the church whereby the...

    Obama pitchs $52M plan to regulate oil markets

    BTW: In the final analysis, this is merely a ploy to make it seem like the administration is doing something about high gas prices. In reality, all it will do is increast gas prices that much more.

    Obama pitchs $52M plan to regulate oil markets

    I highlighted that one line because you need to understand: Oil companies don't care what the price consumers pay is. The correct wording of your statement is, "oil companies [don't] want to reduce profits...." Increase regulation, and you increase cost to the company, thus reducing profit...

    Does your church use social media?

    What does your church do to utilize the internet as a tool for its church members? Does it have a website, and/or Facebook page? Does it use some service to send out text message "alerts" for closings, weather notifications, special notices about other church members? Does your church...

    Does your church have its own network?

    If so, how do they implement it? Who's responsible for maintaining it/providing "help desk" services? How does your church use its network? How does your church apply network security?

    Obama pitchs $52M plan to regulate oil markets

    Well, yeah! You can't keep raising the prices on gas if you don't keep making it more expensive for oil companies to produce gas....

    You Be the Judge (LAPD shoots unarmed 19 year old man)?

    So you've got a suspect who was driving erratically, trying to avoid being pulled over by police. You've got a 911 call where the driver identified that he had a gun, and was willing to hurt the policemen chasing him. You've got a guy that gets out of his vehicle, who has told a 911 operator...

    Did Secret Service Compromise the Presidents Safety?

    In this particular instance, no, security is not compromised (think about it: they got caught. Any security issues they addressed have already been re-assigned and re-examined). In the Lord-knows-how-many previous incidents - yes, security may have been compromised, even if we didn't see a...

    Ethics Question

    GreekTim, Skandelon - My question was regarding those preaching the gospel. Was Rahab an apostle, pastor, preacher, missionary, etc.? We could then get into hypotheticals about, if Rahab hadn't lied, what would the apostles have done? Died proclaiming the cross? Just as they were ready to do...

    Ethics Question

    I think the base of the question is: When is it permissible/acceptable/beneficial for Christians to lie? My first thought is the 10 commandments. My second thought is that we're preaching a gospel of truth. But then again, telling the truth may prevent the bibles from getting into the country...

    Conservatives who don't care about abortion

    Differentiation starts within four days of egg fertilization. That question is bunkum.

    Because they don't know any different.

    Fundamental View of the Bible

    Wow. Pulling teeth is easier. You referenced Luther on page 6, and another reference a few pages later. Now how about explaining for my obviously feeble mind how those references answer if you're saying that only the CT is acceptable over the Byzantine, and the subsequent TR? ---- Note: read the...

    Fundamental View of the Bible

    Van, I'm asking you to walk me through this, so that I fully understand your position. I believe you're saying that you will only accept the CT as the preferred manuscript; however, you may be saying that you accept the CT and the Byzantine text, and you only reject the TR. Is that correct?

    Fundamental View of the Bible

    While there is agreement with what you've written, the question here is: who said "God didn't mean what He said"? Or are you simply looking for agreement so that we can progress further?

    Fundamental View of the Bible

    It was a simple question, that actually isn't answered by any of your posts. Are you saying that scripture alone means only one set of manuscripts? i.e., the CT over all other manuscripts?

    Conservatives who don't care about abortion

    Now, to answer your question: If that's actually his "only valid reason" to ban abortion, no, that's not valid at all. Second, centering only on the abortion issue, and not caring about his "right-wingedness" or "hatred of Obama," I'd have to talk with him to determine why he thinks it's okay...

    Conservatives who don't care about abortion

    Just an observation: You say you don't talk about politics at work, so he doesn't know what you think. 1) you and Johnny don't talk about politics at work, so you must be talking about it away from work; but then again, he doesn't know what you think, so you're not talking about it to him...

    Fundamental View of the Bible

    I've read this four times, and I'm just not getting it. Yeshua says that the doctrinal statement should say: "Identify preferred text; but NKJV is fine for use also"; and then you say, "Identify preferred text, but don't say 'scripture alone' if you advocate for the 1550 TR." Does your...
