Listened to what I thought was a lovely version of one of my favorite hymns on YouTube - Holy, Holy, Holy - and can't (for the life of me) find who it is singing this. Can anyone offer any help here? Acapella Version of Holy, Holy, Holy

What's going on here? I honestly don't know that I ever remember thinking about this passage. I'm sure I've read it (years ago) but I read it as though for the first time last night : Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: And they saw the God of...

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14 Straightforward questions : 1. What is the glory of the Son? 2. What is meant by the glory as of the only begotten? 3. Is the...

...not (necessarily) universalism - though that may be argued to be one of the logical outworkings of the belief - but that Christ died for every person who ever lived and ever will live. The first thing is that it seems to me this view requires that Christ died only in hope. The idea that God...

Jade Helm - the military exercises taking place in many Southwestern and Western states - allegedly have seen people forcibly imprisoned and/or chipped with RFID trackers. Specifically, Clint TX : Forced Chipping part of Jade Helm? EDIT : Please note that it looks like this may be a scam. I...

Playing off of Tambora's thread about songs with "mother" or "mama" (etc...) in the title, I was put in mind of a song that had to do with fathers. So to start off this thread, I offer Phil Coulter's poignant (and sometimes touching) The Old Man GQnhDBiTjvg And for those that care...this is...

I'm not promoting this view, but the thought occurs to me that this would be consistent with dispensational distinction between Israel and the church... Doesn't dispensationalism generally (and MADism more specifically) lend itself to Preterist eschatology? That is, if there is a gospel for the...

While listening to a popular minister on the radio yesterday (who was preaching on resurrection), the thought occurred to me that sonship is spoken of by Paul quite a bit but by John only a couple times. I was led to this when the minister quoted Paul on sonship and I was thinking in parallel of...

I suppose this is a separate thread from Psalmist's "Jesus Return". I asked a couple of preterists about the resurrection and got no response - but am wondering if that's because they isolate the Return of Christ from the resurrection. Then again, maybe that's not a uniform belief... Do...

These are my observations about intercession. They concern the nature of intercession as against the standing up against what is patently against God's order. Not that one is right and the other is wrong, but that there may be a more appropriate posture in the face of impending judgment. Given...

While thinking - albeit briefly - about the almost staggering numbers of those who call themselves Christians that believe the legal definition of marriage should be rewritten by Congress and/or the SCOTUS, it became quickly apparent to me that the political/legal route by which this has gained...

The term "pastor's heart" seems to be thrown around a lot - and it usually implies some generally nice sentiments towards the flock. But what, when it comes down to it, is the most reliable sign that someone is actually called to be a pastor? EDIT : I was going to allow multiple choices, but I...

(Continued from Part I) 3. Which raises the question of the one talent and the relation between that talent and the man's view that the Master was "an hard man". While it is speculation that the man's limited ability (witnessed by the fact that he only got 1 talent from the Master) is directly...

I am often amazed at what a difference digging can make. Reading a scripture or two without thinking about what is being said can very easily leave one with an impression opposite to what really is being conveyed. And I strongly suspect that the main culprit in preventing such reflection is...

Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. Isaiah 45:15 In the midst of a chapter in which God is speaking of His Sovereignty - doing all His will, creating peace and making evil, implying the vanity of the clay talking back to the potter - the prophet inserts...

We've already had the prosecution of several businesses run by Christians that have refused to serve homosexuals for their weddings. One might draw the conclusion from that that the business owner doesn't have a choice as to who he or she (or whatever) will or will not serve. But since the...

I'm interested in how people define predestination. What does it imply? Do you see scripture as saying the individual is predestined in any way Scriptures like this need to be directly addressed : For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son...

In the debate over free will, it always seems to focus on man. There is an assumption or two that may not be valid with this approach, though. The one I'm thinking of is assuming that God has free will. Before jumping to conclusions here, remember that this is more about the definition of free...

If we cannot qualify on our own merits to be justified in God's eyes - and by extension cannot merit salvation - what sense does it make to say we can lose that which we never qualified for? To use an analogy to deepen the point, take someone who has gone through primary school, elementary...
