Hi all, I have a co-worker who claims to be an Atheist. He recently sent me a video clip from the movie Zeitgeist, he thinks this disproves the truth claims of our faith and believes Christianity is no more than a made up political movement used to control the masses. The video claims...

I saw the video and did come away very offended, but I'm not sure if it is hatred we are dealing with but maybe instead, stupidity?

Anyone that rich has no reason to be offended just because someone doesn't know you are rich. Anyway, what the heck does she need a 38K purse for? Give the money to me instead, I'll surely spend it more wisely.

I would say it is common on the Puritan Board and most of them are Presby's.

Check out some of their avatars. Whatever you do don't try to argue in favor of abstaining from drinking, you will be quickly drawn and quartered. lol

I have no problem with a Christian taking a drink, just keep it scriptural, however I do have the same problem as you do but in the opposite direction. If you frequent the Puritanboard you will see an almost flaunting of alcohol. It is sometimes as bad as homosexuals who wear "loud & proud"...

I will not get into specifics but I'm on the Board of Directors of a new non profit Pregnancy Resource Center with a Christian emphasis. We applied to the IRS about five months ago and have still got no approval. We were supposed to have been approved in 6-8 weeks, but this all happened about...

Please read my OP, did I say I didn't like the way she looked? I bet you didn't even listen to her...

It is just nice to have a civil discussion and not what we usually see in here.

Not sure I understand

Yes, our churches today like to pronounce kids saved by a decision they make after using pressure tactics, then they leave them to grow in Christ without much if any guidance. Now this isn't all churches, but I have seen it a lot in the SBC churches where I have been. How sad. As a wise man...

Seems like the issue is, "why are we losing our children when they leave the church". I would say we never had them, or they were not Christian in the first place. Seeker sensitive teaching and preaching has left our churches with young people who only know of a god who can give them a more...

Here's an online copy of the book in pdf format: http://www.ccel.org/ccel/owen/deathofdeath.pdf Now most readers who have the printed version enjoy the forward by J I Packer for it is very well written and easy to understand. I did a search and found it as well...

John Owen is real hard to read, unless you are accustomed to reading the Puritans. He was definitely one of the most revered theologians from 400-500 years ago. Check out Monergism website.

As I usually say after going back and forth on these type of debates, we must leave this at the feet of the throne of God for it truly is a mystery. God elects only some and man must respond in faith.

When I highlight using my Kindle, it does bleed through. LOL sorry had to.:laugh:

Jon, I don't feel it is a stretch as you say. Looking at scripture as a whole and not looking at individual verses to make or break a doctrine is how we should approach our study. I have MacArthurs commentary and feel he states this as well. I also have Gill's commentary and he says the...

That is better than moving to NY and being the President of the New World Order...lol

Isn't it amazing what liberal seminaries produce?

nothing?:sleep:
