    I just finished watching the Eternals against my better judgement.

    Right. I get that its not directly blaspheming God in a literal way. My point is, there is a repeated pattern of using symbols, types, and metaphors to encourage an anti-God way of thinking almost on a subliminal level. It may seem like overreaction or paranoia on my part, but I've been noticing...

    Pre-Mil Only is Jesus coming sooner or maybe later?

    Yeah. That makes me slightly less alarmed at having forgotten all about it..lol

    Pre-Mil Only is Jesus coming sooner or maybe later?

    This is quite surreal to me. I'm revisiting this site after a long time away and saw the post and replied to it. I just now realized the original poster was me also. I have no recollection of making the post. So weird. I don't disagree with you. I can tell a younger more immature self made the...

    Pre-Mil Only is Jesus coming sooner or maybe later?

    Sounds reasonable to me. It actually sort of makes sense.

    I just finished watching the Eternals against my better judgement.

    The best I can tell, the moral of the story is that good is evil and evil is good or perhaps the distinction is purely a matter of one's perspective; Humans are pawns under an authoritarian god and for the sake of our survival and autonomy we must unite against the said god and rebel against...

    Pre-Mil Only is Jesus coming sooner or maybe later?

    While praying this morning I had a notion that I will not be presumptuous enough to say it was a word from the Lord but I would like to think it may have been. I was actually asking the Lord to tarry A little longer before his return because there is a certain individual I have a burden for...

    A question for my reformed brothers;

    I understand that reformed theology teaches faith is a fruit of the Spirit and therefore a man or woman cannot exert faith in being redeemed because a person cannot have a fruit of the Spirit until he/she has the Spirit and the Spirit cannot be in a person's heart until the person has been...

    Thanks for posting this.

    not sure if I'm doubting...

    I was raised in a Christian home. I'm not sure of my moment of salvation, but I truly believe I've received Christ. I have rehashed "the sinner's prayer" countless times through the years during moments of doubt. I've received more light on the issue and realize salvation is not about a...

    Looking for a non-literal study bible/ guide

    I know this isn't the point of the thread, but I can't resist. One of the gospels traces Jesus' lineage all the way back to Adam. So, if Adam is a myth, Jesus is descended from a myth. This is a slippery slope you're on.

    Homosexuality: Choice and/or genetic?

    There is a theory that a child's gender identity is established at an extremely early age, maybe around two years of age, and that in the case of hermaphrodites, it is very important to look at the chromosomes to determine the child's true sex so that it can be encouraged to develop accordingly...

    Homosexuality: Choice and/or genetic?

    There is an important difference in my opinion. It seems to me that "common to man" is saying any possible sin is common to mankind as a whole in the same way you could say blond hair is common to man in that it occurs frequently within the population (well, the white population at least). If...

    Homosexuality: Choice and/or genetic?

    I am afraid I AM forced to patronize you now. C'mon. Isn't it obvious what I was doing? I was saying if the scripture you misquoted did read as you said, your conclusion would have been correct. I then went on to show you why the scripture did not teach what you were saying.

    Homosexuality: Choice and/or genetic?

    I suppose I can see how you could take that part as patronizing, but I didn't mean it that way. Its just that I don't know you from Adam and I lot of people wouldn't know what necrophilia is. As for the scripture, you did misquote it. You changed the meaning. ARe you mad because I pointed...

    Homosexuality: Choice and/or genetic?

    What on earth are you talking about? I wasn't patronizing you. Because I was disagreeing with you, I was only trying to be gracious about it. Instead of being offended, it would be more profitable if you pointed out to me where I'm wrong, or if you're wrong, admit it. As to your second...

    Homosexuality: Choice and/or genetic?

    If you read my first post on this thread you'll see that I agree, its not a choice.
