Sir:
Perhaps no one has pointed out to you that religion consists of two big parts. [1] First is doctrine or what we might call the theoretical aspect. That consists of the holy scriptures and any...

@ danish abdur rahman
So dear sir... as you can see by the open disagreement and apparent backbiting among Christians... it would be quite foolish of you indeed to find in this environment any...

@ Wondergirl
Here we go again ! What about this...
I don't suppose that shot is not yours.
-
Oh... and P.S. Thanks for lowering my Reputation score by one point... whoever is responsible for doing that.
It only confirms my faith that I'm on the correct track. The Bible promises that those...

@ Wondergirl
There's only one thing wrong with your last comment. I am not promoting any particular Christian denomination. I have not mentioned Mr. Camping or Family Stations, Inc... until now. ...
-
I'm not going to get drawn into a debate about the pros and cons of any particular Christian denomination. Though I'm aware of the fact that some are closer to the truth than others. But my point is...
-
Thanks for the "welcome back."
Please explain each. What do "they" promote, and what is "true to the Bible"?
I would say that all of them claim that we as individuals can choose to accept or to...
-
I don't remember exactly where... but I read that the USA is one of the most religious countries in the world. The writer stated that it was up there right beside India with the number of different...
-
In my opinion if we continually bend over backwards to be politically correct, there will be no meaningful discussion of any kind. It's just maintaining the status quo to please the advertisers.
...
-
An observation is different from a conclusion. It means I am validating your observation, but I don't know what the conclusions of this discussion will be.
-
I concur with Wondergirl's observation that your sentence, quoted above, with the (your) emphasis on "what you DO"... it reads as if our works make a difference in our salvation. And your sentence...
-
Having expectations of a so called normal life, as you indicated "drinking, partying, etc." it's no wonder that your spiritual side is suffering. The Bible clearly teaches that people who intend to...
-
The answer, in my opinion, is it depends on whom you ask. Most conservative mainstream Christians will say that the "gospel" is the New Testament only. But a much better definition is that the whole...
-
OK stacky1, here's my two cents worth. I find the expression "believing in God" less than helpful. It's the kind of phrase that children use. Believing that God exists, rather than believing He...
-
I remember having posted my opinion on this question. But somehow it seems to have disappeared. Rather odd ! I'll do it again.
The OP's question has two parts. [1] Practical advice on how to deal...
-
Actually it's not that simple at all. If we base our understanding on only those verses, then it seems we only have to confess Jesus and believe in our hearts, and... presto... we're saved. It looks...
-
All well and good. It's absolutely your privilege to do as you see fit.
My question is, what does one do with the things the Bible teaches that are not so plain?
Let me guess. Just ignore...
-
You've asked a rather complicated question, in my opinion. But the fact that it's posted here, in "Chritianity," indicates that you expect a religious answer. If I understand your question correctly,...
-
When I said the answer is somewhat complex, that was an understatement. From my perspective the important thing is not how much a particular individual understands about the Bible. If the main issue...
-
Reading your quote above looks to me like you're having a conversation with yourself. Whatever !
Yes I know some things that God wants. He clearly tells us many things He wants in the Bible. All...

Hello ? This is America. You personally are free to choose from a literal rainbow variety of churches, denominations, and interpretations galore. What is holding you back from enjoying that freedom ?...
-
Goodness me ! What was the phraseology you used about following or not following the intent of your line of reasoning a few pages back ? You're doing the same thing again. Going off on a conclusion...
-
Your point of view might be the correct one IF the verses you're referring to (Matthew 19:14, Mark 10:14, and Luke 18:16) were the only ones that refer to the kingdom of heaven, and to the state of...
-
How'd you do that ? P.S. the 'U' in Uber needs an umlaut. It's German, and it's pronounced UEBER. Uber means 'super' as in superior.
-
In a nutshell, I believe the scientific evidence is open to interpretation. I'm inclined to believe that the Earth and the whole universe is no older than 13,022 years and about 10.5 months....
-
Much as I'd love to answer that, I do not have a concise reply ready for you. I also am learning much new information from the Bible as I progress in my walk. Though I believe I have a somewhat...
-
Thank you :rolleyes: for asking that.
The answer is somewhat complex, in my opinion. But in very simple terms (which need to be further explained at a later time perhaps) is that the Bible (we...

And you have a mustache and a pipe!
-
The Bible teaches that the new testament churches have three basic characteristics that typify their structure.
[1] Spiritual leadership. For example bishops, pastors, elders, deacons, teachers,...
-
If you'd take the trouble to read my subsequent post you'd see I don't recommend isolation either. The essential point is to NOT be under the spiritual authority of any church, because Satan rules...
-
Thanks for confirming what I already knew.
P.S. Notice my avatar name is HeadStrongBoy. So at least I'm not misrepresenting myself.
I don't claim to be in the same league of testosterone filled...
-
I think I understand your need for fellowship, and that of your children. I'm sure that God will honor your desire to be obedient to His word. If you seek alternatives to church maybe a door will...
-
My advice is that, since May 21, 2011 is only about 6 weeks away don't go to any church at least until then.
-
I apologize. I was trying to be clever. If I may, I'd like to offer some advice along more serious lines.
Your observation is correct that some people on this post have more Bible knowledge than...
-
No problemo, dude. I'm prejudiced in favor of the original King James Version. Though on occasion I have used the German Martin Luther translation. I also semi-regularly I refer to online interlinear...
-
Your comments strike me as those of a human being. I can relate to the feelings of paranoia. Unfortunately one drowning person is not of much help to another drowning person.
Get my drift ?
-
I'm never sure what to say to someone like yourself, who has such powerful authority over me.
Let me put it this way. I believe that Camping's approach is the most accurate that I have found so...
-
Of course you're completely entitled to your feelings. But you asked me for the list of rules that refer to Bible interpretation. Then you go off on a tangent. Again your privilege.
I personally...
-
No he is not contradicting himself. We need to understand the difference between the Word as given in the original languages, and the translation into our modern languages. He is referring to scribal...
-
I have already given the web address. Here it is again... http://www.familyradio.com.
As far as I remember there is not one specific publication that simply lists the rules found in the Bible...
-
As I expected. Your reply puzzles me. Sentence 1. Expresses skepticism, and yet you claim to want to see the rules. Why ? You're obviously way too smart to learn anything from a cultist like myself....

Thanks for taking the time to post on this thread. You seem like a nice person. But without actually having taken a close look yourself at the method that I'm referring to as item I,...
-
Of the doctrines Mr.Camping promotes:
I. the Method of Bible Interpretation.
II. The Character of Salvation and the Character of Judgment.
III. The Time-Line of History including the precise...
-
Wikipedia says Christian Reformed Church. And I have heard him confirm that.
-
I admit it's based only on Camping's word.
-
What's your point ? Besides your info is wrong. He submitted to their decision to stop teaching. And because of it, he decided to leave amicably. Because he considers himself to be a teacher, first...
-
The deity of Jesus is exactly the question.
YHWH is one possible form for the words "I AM." It may be that YHWH is the infinitive form of the verb "to be." I am personally not interested in the...
-
I really don't see the difference. Unless you want to make an issue of the particular phrase "help of" the Holy Spirit. The way I see it there is only one God, not three. The Holy Spirit is God. The...

Que sera sera. I do what I do. And she will do what she will do.
