Several verses speak of "obeying" the gospel (Romans 10:16, 2 Thessalonians 1:8 and I Peter 4:17 most apparently). In Romans 6:17, Paul says that the Romans had "...obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you." Far from being an invitation to law-keeping for salvation...

Very simple. What does this mean : Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. I Corinthians 3:16-17 First, in the English, Paul is...

Are there any promises of scripture that will (ultimately) be fulfilled outside of Christ?

Is this legitimate? I'd ask if it's serious, but it clearly isn't....though something is seriously wrong... At the Flick of A Switch

Did Adam really know what God meant by "death"? I mean, I assume he had an idea, but how? What experience did he have that pointed to it? Or did he understand it simply because the Creator gave him life and this would mean forfeiture? And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree...

What is being said here : My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul...

And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him. Ephesians 6:9 Is this telling masters (bosses, slave owners etc...) not to threaten those who work for them because if they do, God...

I'm assuming many here have already seen one or another news report about the holes appearing in Siberia. Here's just one version of it: New Theory Behind Dozen Mystery Holes I don't really buy the man-made global warming line, but when a story comes up that advances that agenda, it's all...

American politics has become so innundated with moral problems that the whole "separation of church and state" stance that exists today (i.e. not 200 years ago) threatens to sever the bonds that now (tenuously) maintain some sort of civil order and (vague, at best) moral compass. If one simply...

Pediatrician Refuses Care for Baby of Lesbians So is this different than the whole "wedding" cake issue for same-sex couples? My take is that it is different - a pediatrician cares for a child who finds itself in the situation it's in through no choice of its own. This is about caring for the...

No...I'm not asking if politics or christianity is more dangerous - rather indicating that there is a necessary crossover between Christianity and politics here. Since this is the politics thread, I want to make sure that as many Christians respond as possible. Non-Christians will possibly have...

Certainly it isn't that cut and dried...but that's the bare bones of my question. Rather, are we more inheritors or are we to be more possessors as those in Christ? Is the thrust of our Christian walk to be what we have been given (e.g. Acts 3:6), have possession of (in Christ, that is) and are...

What is the most moving music you have heard?

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:22-23 Maybe not an...

With the recent increase in activity in the sun, there have been several articles on X-class solar flares. I'm no astronomer and I know enough physics to get by, but this is nowhere near my area of expertise. To the articles. This is the last one I saw in my travels : Solar Flares - Is the...
