Rick Warren is really good at taking scripture out of context to say what he wants it to say.

Well...we haven't got the autopsy back yet, but I am pretty confident that she committed suicide by alcohol poisoning. She just couldn't beat her addiction and I think she just gave up.

I am so...

I just lost my cousin on monday evening. She died from complications due to her heavy addiciton to alcohol ( a 26'er of alcohol a day for weeks on end). She was also bi-polar or...

Anyways,...

Thank you everyone.:)

So, in short: What I am reading here for the most part is that there IS a right and a wrong doctrine.
It IS my job as a follower of Christ to search the scriptures for...

I realize this. I am not saying that we throw out sound doctrine, but my question is WHO is right? Calvin? Armenian...? No, this is not a debate on those two founders...this is just a pondering on my...

Thank you everyone.

I think the reason why I am asking this question is because of a conversation my husband and I had with friends. They believe many things that are contrary to what we beleive....

Isn't much of it man made opinions of scripture? Why do we need any more than Christ crucified?

Could this be referring to those who see that God has forgotten the Jews? I don't know. This is all very new for me and I was shocked when a friend brought this up.

Does anyone know what this is and how it fits into the Israel/Gentile relationship? How old is it and is it biblical??:help:

Yes, thank you. It is now in with my favo:)rites!

Veretax: Thank you...yes it makes sense.:)

Wow...I'm not vhayes, yet I am blown by this loveless response.:eek:

From my understanding, any denomination that says it IS the ONLY anything borders on cultish. However, I have never professed...

I have been a Christian for almost 9 years now. So no, I don't think I am a *new* christian.:) When I say *new* to this...what I mean is new to the theology and the vastness of it all. It is mighty...

I haven't read through this thread so pardon me if it has already been adressed, but I have a question.

I was recently told that the KJV is not as accurate as some of the newer translations (i...

When I first started reading the bible, I started with the smaller books first. Jonah, 1,2,3 John etc. I really like reading Genesis. Ruth is small, too. I just found it wasn't overwhelming that way....

Perhaps a thread could be started on this topic?:)

Can anyone tell me anything about this Dr. Peter Masters that this little church we have been going to listens to?:confused

TomLane:
Thank you. What you have posted here is exactly my belief.
Thank you also for the wrods of encouragement. They are much needed lately with the things that I have been reading.

You see,...

Thank you.:)

I appreciate you replying.

Thank you for this link. I will be viewing it as time allows.

Tell me then, do you believe in Predestination? What is your opinion then on those who beleive in Free Will? I have been told that I...

I believe in Free Will and that God's grace is sufficient...to ALL those who believe. According to what I have read, R.T does not believe in Free Will and from those I have spoken to, that is not a...

All that I have read on Reformed Theology (keeping in mind that I am rather new to all of this) it appears that if you do not believe in predestination, you are not saved.

I have read one thing...

My husband and I have gone twice to this little Reformed baptist church now. We will not be continuing. We sense a very real and dangerous control going on. It appears that grace is only for those...

I am beginning to wonder if I serve a completely different God from you all. Maybe I am destined for hell.:confused:cry:

This thread makes me weep.:cry:

No worries at all! I got a good chuckle as well!:pp

sister.:pp

I wonder why so many here think of me as a brother???:rolleyes:

Thank you Quickened.:)

I was always taught that if we ate the bread and drank the cup in an unworthy manner (ie: sin in our lives or unbelievers) that we were causing CONDEMNATION not DAMNATION upon ourselves.

I really...

Thankyou...my head is swimming and I will go ponder now.:)

I am not sure what I mean by legalistic...more like a member would HAVE to attend all meetings and prayer meetings etc in order to vote?...
