Ah Athanasius my fellow programmer and theologian (though I'm more of a hobbyist), it's always good to see you around here. :D

Are we supposed to tell the unsaved to not sin/stop sinning? Are we supposed to tell them that what they are doing is wrong? While discussing homosexuality with a couple friends from the campus...

I've been attending services with Cru (formerly called Campus Crusade for Christ) at college for the past couple of months. They have a few student-run ministry teams and I was interested in getting...

Yeah, if the talkative ones would let me get a word or two in! :rofl:

Ah, words of comfort. Those are perennial (pun kind of intended) weakness of mine. I'm not usually one to do that. Might be a good habit to adopt.

When this thread was made three years ago, I described myself as shy. Nowadays I wouldn't consider myself shy, just quiet. I don't speak unless I have something to say. :D

Do I feel it stops me...

Wow, I am entertained and amused to see a thread of mine literally over three years of age has come back from the depths of the forum. How did this even happen?

What is odd is that earlier today,...

Can't respond to all of you individually but I'll say this much: you guys are giving me good input. The kind of stuff that makes you sit down and think.

To expound on my original statement,...

There is a lot of talk about Christians living a life that "stands out" in some fashion in comparison to those around them, and I feel like I am not doing that. I want to show the unbelieving world...

21 here. I see the graph is coming out in the shape of a bell curve. This satisfies me.

Yep, I haven't been on here in several weeks. That's mainly because I've been busy with schoolwork and other stuff. Plus I'm a member of a second Christian forum (which has a chat app) and it's been...

A common thought today is that faith and logic are opposites. You can have faith in God, but you're not being reasonable doing so; conversely, if you were to think logically about things, you would...

Each one of these have a logical, coherent answer. It's just a matter of doing your research. The problem, as you correctly point out, isn't the questions but the attitudes behind them. There are...

It seems to be that people are touting religion much less. It will be interesting to see what happens when society makes the ultimate leap from abandoning religion in general.

Here in Kansas, we've had rain and some snow, but nothing that stayed around for very long. It's also been generally warm. As someone who does not like snow, I'm quite content with this weather. :D

Hey everyone, I am starting a new semester of college. The classes are looking like they're going to be quite time intensive, so I could use some prayer that I'll be able to get through the semester...

The majority of scholars/researchers/etc. seem to say that the books of the NT were written between about AD 50 and AD 100. They seem to be pinning down specific years for them, too. How are they...

As idiotic as many of those people were being, it's amazing there seemed to be so relatively few serious casualties.

If a person has given their life to Jesus, but still has unrepented sin in their life, does that mean they are not truly saved? This applies to me personally, as I feel there are things I have not...

Happy birthday, Athanasius!

The forum does have a groups feature, which can be set to Moderated or Invite Only, thereby giving much more privacy.

I'd also point out Hebrews 10:25, which calls us not to forsake gathering together, especially as we draw near to the end of the age. It's understandable if he wanted to stay away from churches for a...

I should also add another resolution, one I didn't quite succeed at this year: watch 20 movies for the first time. It's part of my plan to be more socially adept. Understanding movie references seems...

1. My biggest struggle is actually finding methods to share the Gospel. I really have had little luck finding anyone who wants to do this with me - I'm a bit apprehensive about going it alone.

2....

Here is a tentative list of my resolutions. I'm not very good at keeping these things, but it's worth a shot.

1. Lose 40 pounds. I'm 35-40 pounds overweight currently, having gained that much in...

I could nit-pick about one or two irrelevant things, but those are beyond the scope of the discussion. If I were to argue for sola fide I'd object to having to be baptized for salvation, however...

That's exactly the reason I dislike snow so much. Luckily, here in midwest Kansas we've not had any snow. Some ice and morning frost, but no snowfall. No white Christmas, but I'm not upset about it....

I think it'll always be my contention that saying we need baptism to be saved contradicts sola fide, but I suppose I'll just have to deal with it if I stick to Lutheranism. I've also recently found...

In regards to being told that baptism is only symbolic? Yes.



Not at all. If they are responding correctly, then I would say they are closer to the truth in this matter.



I suppose the...
