    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    Ha! I'll take that as a, "No!" Hypocrite! It is not advisable to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener.

    Our Moral God

    No one is looking for perfection, this side of Heaven. All one should expect and insist upon is a doctrine that is both biblically and rationally sound. Both of which criteria would preclude any doctrine which is based on the philosophy of a pagan who worshiped a modified version of Zeus. So...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    :unsure: Was Philip alive before or after the bible was complete? Yes, I'm quite certain it was before! Was Philip a Jew saved under the Dispensation of Circumcision? Yes! Definitely before the age of Grace. Your understanding the bible is so paper thin it's laughable and tragic at the same...

    Our Moral God

    Whomever that was, it certainly was not the immutable god of Aristotle, Augustine and Calvin. What other alternative to do see? I confess that I do not understand what you're saying here. The analogy doesn't seem to fit at all. How many bottom-dwelling sea creatures have been created by, and...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    Why didn't you just say so from the start? On what basis then should anyone, anywhere ever use anything other than the KJV? As though faith and wisdom are two unrelated things that do not spring from the same Fountainhead. Read the book of Proverbs much? Have ever backed, even a single inch...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    You are just so lazy! The thread is all right for the entire world to read, Marke, and the question was asked less than two iterations of this conversation ago. You had said that you don't believe that the KJV is more inspired than manuscript copies of the original writings. That, I believe...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    Yeah, sure. That's why its like pulling teeth to get you to admit even something so mundane as believing that the King James is the only bible worth reading. The reason you won't own up to it is because you know intuitively that it is an indefensible position to hold but can't bring yourself to...

    Fasting thread

    @JudgeRightly Okay, so I failed to make 72 hours on my fast this weekend. I gave in after 48, which is still pretty good considering I lost another couple of pounds. I'm now down to 217 which is a total of 23 pounds lost since sometime in January when I started at 240 lbs. I can tell you that...

    Our Moral God

    Anthropomorphisms are figures of speech. Figures of speech mean something. What does the figure of speech "God is moral." mean? That isn't merely a rhetorical point. That's a real question. A question, I suspect, you'll have no answer for. The assigning of the label "anthropomorphism" to it is...

    Our Moral God

    Actually, it is we who are made in God's image, right? Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that...

    Our Moral God

    Unbiblical, Aristotelian nonsense which can be refuted (i.e. proven false) by quoting a single passage of scripture. I'll quote three! Genesis 3:9 Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” Genesis 22:12 And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to...

    Our Moral God

    The distinction between "different" and "change" would have been angrily rejected by both Augustine and Calvin, not to mention Plato and Aristotle which is where the real Genesis of Divine Immutability is found. There are several ways to demonstrate this, probably the most obvious of which is...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    Was that a yes or a no, Marke? Danger! Run from any lunatic that tells you that you need something other than the bible to understand God's word. "God was such a terrible writer, wasn't He! I mean, I until I got 'spiritual' and started seeking God outside His written word, I couldn't make...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    It isn't about me, it's about being honest and not being afraid of a label that fits. You don't agree with the Crusades or the Spanish Inquisition but aren't afraid to wear the label "Christian". Likewise, you aren't a Lutheran but aren't afraid for someone to think you're a Protestant. You...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    Do you believe it to be JUST AS inspired?

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    Because ducks quack, Marke! If you do not use anything other than the KJV and you think that every other translation of the bible, even those that aren't in English, are inferior to the KJV because the KJV is the result of God preserving His word on Earth and no other bible can make that claim...

    Am I saved from the Christian point of view?

    You could have just said, "Yes, I'm a KJV-onlyist". It isn't required that you agree with every syllable that every other KJV-onlyist says.

    What is Money?

    Have you ever read Atlas Shrugged? If so, I'd be curious to know how you'd respond to Francisco d'Anconia's money speech and how you'd square what he says with 1 Timothy 6:10. If you've not read or heard the speech, you can read it HERE. In fact, you should read the whole of Atlas Shrugged or...

    What is Money?

    The right to life is one of my favorite topics! The right to life is the basis and source for all other rights. Nobody I know of ever said it better than Ayn Rand (of all people)... A “right” is a moral principle defining and sanctioning a man’s freedom of action in a social context. There is...

    I love the dark rice at Chipotle! It has lemon and cilantro and it doesn't stick together and its just the best rice I've ever eaten. I can't stand eating inside the Chipotle restaurant though. They're always playing weird hippy music in there. I can't take it. I go eat it while sitting in my...
