This keeps me up at night. How far should we seek to change a culture's stories, practices and overall essence when evangelizing ig?

We do many threads in which we display our differences. I'd like this thread to be different. If someone posts something you disagree with, try to restate it as much as you can agree with in terms of your own theology. If there is an important distinction to be made, try to make it using the...

Some manuscripts include 'in me' (for example, the beloved but out-dated Kings James Version) and some do not (NASB). What to make of it? I have two responses. 1) It makes no doctrinal difference whether the phrase is there or not. It is clearly implied from the context. It is a...

As someone who loves the Greek New Testament and reads in it daily, there are several threads currently in place that are dismaying to me, as they seem to stem from a misunderstanding of the textual situation. I'm going to address the New Testament here, as the OT is really beyond anything I...

I come here to confess my sins. I have not maxed out my credit cards. I have passed items in the store and not put them in my shopping cart. I have even gone after lower-priced items. I have done this week after week, month after month, year after year. You can see the results. My...

This is keeping me up at night. Aquinas relates everything back to being, it seems, and hardly ever, if ever, considers anything else as Urgrund for his philosophy. I have in mind a couch, a nice, comfy leather one (possibly humpback whale leather) that hubby and I can snuggle up on together...

Come on, people, work the problem. Determination. Ya gotta give him that.

I was going to title this thread "Do Women Have Souls" but that might get some people, probably all women, mad. So I decided to bash Presbyterians instead, because as we all know, no one actually LIKES Presbyterians (Presbyterians take great pride in that, and then confess the pride). But that...

I am too lazy to do a poll, or technologically challenged, or fat or I have too much cheese stuffed under the sofa, or whatever, and you wouldn't answer my poll questions anyway, so here are the choices you have to respond to: Have you stopped beating your husband? 1. Yes 2. No. 3. I...

If I had been there, I would have given him some fried snake instead. But then, hmm, would I have been messing up God's whole plan of salvation? I've got some grilled rattler on the grill..... What do you think? One or two of you anyway tend to have opinions.

What "instructions" do you tend to give God regards the timing of the return of Christ?

What is the Orthodox Church's evaluation of the Council of Trent?

I posted this in Moral Theology over on Catholic Answers Forums, where I am truthstalker. I am wondering who has the better arguments.....

I am the Bride of Christ. Dare I say that? I like it!!!! He takes care of me and protects me. Or am I only part of the Bride? What do men do about this concept? Wait til my husband comes home and finds out up I sprung for a new WEDDING DRESS!

I have noticed a LOT of sloppy thinking on this forum!!!!! Therefore I am forming Task Force Tomi, whose mission it is to encourage the donning of formal wear on the forum. Yes, you got it! When posting you should wear a tuxedo if you are a man and an evening gown if you are a lady. Those...

This keeps me up at night. :cool: Suppose that in 1933 two guys who met secretly in a garage in Milwaukee were all that were left of the True Church. They got raptured and everyone else was left behind. :cool: Let's say you received definite proof-beyond-a-shadow-of-a-doubt that they got...

I need your help. Christmas is coming, and this year I want to give the world an Effective Marian Theology that will outrage everyone. I want to take a position that will get Jimmy Swaggart and the Pope mad at me in equal measure, that will cause ecumenical councils to convene in order to deal...

Maybe not, but ya got klutzo here. Over in the Christian Women's Social Group are a whole bunch of ladies who want to do a Bible study on line. I'm thinking a forum may be the way to go. Is there some Trusted Soul, preferably of the XX variety, willing to do an online Bible study for...

So..... I got into this discussion with someone and he said that women in our culture shave out of vanity and that historically that is not the case and there are plenty of places where women have plenty of hair on their legs and armpits so why do we shave? I think it is because we need...

Hi! Me again, going on about transgender stuff from a conservative viewpoint. My other thread seems to be going nowhere. I'm trying to develop some background theology in this area Just In Case. Maybe I want to live as a man (ugh)? Do I post like a guy? Now I am afraid of infection...I...
