Oh my gaaawwwd, ain't that the truth??!! What a valuable, liberating realization.

Absolutely --- the most attractive attribute of any man, regardless of his merits -- is self-confidence. Keep up the good work!

Saw Jesse Duplantis collect $18,000 one night. I visited World Harvest one day, and they had a few visiting celebrity preachermen. In the 6 or so hours I was there, they collected 4 or 5 offerings, if I remember right. And one of the offerings was a "spontaneous" offering, where people just started...

I never did care much for the book of James. Why? I should say it differently.... how about this: "I never did care much for the understanding of the book of James that was promoted in the religious circles I formerly entertained." It's kind of like Romans -- I use to sit and listen to my mom read ...

Don't be such a dip. Does anyone have a radar for humor around here?

I can't even get to a conclusion on WHAT temptation means. I guess it could agree that it's anything that results in sin. So now, I can't even get to a conclusion on the definition of 'sin'... I refuse to research this right now. My BS (Biblical Studies) days are past... but back in the day, I think...

I agree with everything you are saying, btw. ------ I am AMAZED that OF ALL PLACES, the prevailing attitude in this online 'Christian' community is what it is... Who would've thought. It makes the idea of missionaries coming to the USA a bit more believable. The things we do/say/believe in the name...

Thanks for the clarification. I don't think anything lessens the severity of the wrongness of a person who commits the crime. I think most everyone is just saying that you really shouldn't put yourself in a place to be wronged. (Again, I do concede that sometimes rape happens to women who were not ...

I'm amazed that you are so self-righteous. I always thought I would be a great politician (oh wait, I really WAS a great politician)... but man, you beat me hands down. Only a Christian would be twisted around enough to scream "SELF-RIGHTEOUS" at someone pointing out self-righteousness. That, is am...

There is no right or wrong situation. Rape, in any shape, way or form, no matter WHAT the circumstances, is wrong. Plain and simple. Where you are doesn't matter..I had friends that were guys, who only place to hang out for all of us was in their rooms. Maybe I am from a different time but, honestl...

• Tongues seem to be a separate level of Spirit-enablement and comes subsequent to salvation. Supposing some day I say I believe it the validity of any of it, I agree with this (above), except to add/clarify --- it doesn't imply a different experience in addition to being born again. Perhaps it com...

LOL, okay, this one will be mine, if you add it.... At one time, I believed it was the evidence of being indwelled by a third/part of God, called the Holy Spirit, the last in a three step process. Then, later, I believed it was just one of many manifestations of simply being born again, and there wa...
