    Message shocks youths

    Savedfromdestruction - so how, if you don't mind me asking, do you know you are in fact saved from destruction?

    Message shocks youths

    I'm also not keen on this eagerness to point out 'unsaved' christians. This quote comes to mind:

    Message shocks youths

    A striking sermon indeed. I agree with the general thrust of Washers message, though I haven't really any idea what the majority of 'American' Christianity is like. I've always considered it standard that Christians 'walk the walk' as well as 'talk the talk' and any that claim to believe but...

    Crushes

    I've had a crush (though we tend to use the term 'fancying' in the the UK) on about 12 girls (!) In my lifetime. I think I'm more prone to them due to my emotional 'touchy feely' disposition. I suppose that when I was at school that you could call them cute harmless affections. However when your...

    who has been in unequally yoked relationships?

    My (now ex) girlfriend isn't a Christian and I must say that our relationship (for just over a year) was quite difficult, though for other reasons as well. I have so many regrets about it (though I don't regret going out with her as I learnt some valuble lessons) and I'm going to be very careful...

    Reasons people voted for Bush

    I'm sorry if this seems a little out of date now but I'm curious. As a Brit, interested in Religion & Politics, I'd like to know why folks voted for/support Bush. I would be grateful if those that do/did could list a few reasons why. This is not intended to be cynical or anything and I...

    Liberal Back-Slider??

    But my point is is that misconceptions can arise from polarisation. I'm sure many Liberals get tired of being labeled as universalists who believe Jesus to be simply a symbolic character (ala Spong) and that mankind is sinless etc. when there core beliefs are still quite orthodox (which is often...

    Liberal Back-Slider??

    I don't think I agree with the polarisation of views. No matter whether a christian is Liberal or conservative (apart from maybe the extremes) they should still be regarded as a brother or sister in Christ.

    Is Pre-Marital Sex sin?

    Surely, with Gods help, one can learn to control their sexual urges before marriage, if or when that might be.

    What exactly is a liberal Christian?

    I would consider myself as an evangelical but not a fundamentalist. I don't believe the bible to be infallible, and I lean towards theistic evolution. However, I do believe in the virgin birth, resurrection, miracles and all the rest of it. I am personally opposed to both extremes. I find it...
