    What did it for me [Calvinism]

    When I first became a Christian in 94 and before the notion of not having a free will just seemed rediculous to me. I had heard that there was debate over this issue but never really studied it until a few years ago. I have read the Bible front to back about 6 times and during one of those...

    Are communism, Atheism, & Satanism mutually exclusive?

    I have gotten some pretty interesting responses to this kind of subject before so I thought I would try it in here. First off, I have seen an interview with Anton Levey (could be spelling his name wrong but I am talking about the guy who wrote the Satanic Bible and founded the Worldwide Church...

    Interesting Religious Statistics

    This one is my favorite: I couldn't help but almost chuckle at this one for a couple of reasons. First off, I know that this one is not true from personal experience. One of the reasons why a majority of inmates in the prisons I stayed at did not embrace Christianity is because of a cliche...

    HOMOSEXUALITY: What the Bible Does & Does Not Say

    If this is how this should be started, so be it: http://www.equip.org/free/DP801.htm How many more would you like me to come up with? Which is always followed by a prerequisite for something. Take for instance the infamous John 3:16; "... that whosoever believes in Him should not perish..." So...

    Could someone please explain the trinity?

    That depends on how you define "with you" or "along with yourself". This seems like a good enough spot to deal with your interesting choice of versions of the Bible. Since your favorite version of the Bible seems to be the New Living Translation, evident by how many times it has been used in the...

    Could someone please explain the trinity?

    Well, here's what it says. Notice what I underlined (the word "shared"). Now show me a spot in the Bible where God has absolutely no problem with sharing His glory with another created being. How many stories in the Bible would you like me to show where people did not give God gory and had to...

    Could someone please explain the trinity?

    Sorry that I haven't responded as of late. Any of the fellow members here from Iowa can confirm that the week before last we got rained on pretty hard. Being as how I work for a masonry company and we are dependant on the weather when it comes to working, I needed to get my 40 hours in 3 and a...

    Does rehabilitation work for criminals?

    First off, I would like to state that I spent four years incarcerated in the Iowa department of corrections. The first thing I would like to ask about this conversation is what is meant by "such crimes", because as far as I know from experience, there is really no such thing as a person who...

    movies that need praise

    LOL, I loved that movie. My personal picks are Cool Hand Luke with Paul Newman, Glory with Denzel Washington and Tombstone with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer not only because it was a kewl movie, but I met my wife of soon to be nine years at the theater watching that movie.

    Is the Bible a White Man's Book?

    I think you have answered your own question. It should be noted that a few years ago the Iowa Department of Corrections considers a certain Bible ( I can't remember the name of it right now) that has commentary geared towards white supremecy contraband and doesn't allow their inmates to be in...

    Could someone please explain the trinity?

    The thing is that when you do that, you are affirming that these people are in need of humbling because they are being what some would call a pompous (censored). Therefore people who don't think of themselves as being too pridefull may take offense to this statement. Hmmmmmm.Just in case you...

    Could someone please explain the trinity?

    Well, thank you for confirming that "ithching feeling" I had. It's nice to know that you know people so well as to assume that people "blindly" follow and believe this stuff without the sense to "look up the origin of the teaching". But what I find even more interesting is that when you are so...

    'Us' and 'Them'

    There are civil wars going on right now in Africa between people who have the same idealogy and religious beliefs and are simply over land because of the riches that can be gained from them. I'm sure people will try to draw idealogical differences in these situations but the core of the matter...

    Could someone please explain the trinity?

    Michel never denied that concept. There is a difference between "having knowledge" and being able to understand that knowledge which is what Michel pointed out to and why he suggested having faith in the knowledge being true. One can have knowledge of something like the universe existing without...

    why not have both gods

    Translation= "While I know that I am going to subject others to looking at the 'crap' I post in a debate forum which is open specifically for contrary discussions and my posts might 'have nothing nice to say' and be a 'waste of' somebody else's 'time', it's not ok for somebody else to do the...

    You did it or it did you?

    Just look at the definition of the word "free": *** The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 *** Free \Free\ 1. Exempt from subjection to the will of others; not under restraint, control, or compulsion; able to follow one's own impulses, desires, or inclinations...

    Trinity Myth

    Actually, that is exactly what I meant Excellent Job of using scripture to interpret scripture . Not too many people do that. Most go straight to a concordance which kind of gets under my skin. Anyways, the only reason that I disagree with that statement is that in John 10:30, there...

    Choosing not to cure a terminally ill disease concidered suicide?

    I guess my first question on this subject is whether or not God has anything to say about Suicide in the Bible anyways. When one considers the story of Samson in the book of Judges, and his end, A question is seriously raised about the issue of whether or not God even has a problem with suicide...

    You did it or it did you?

    The title was just an attempt at getting people's attention, no more. In other words, That is not the way I see things. Even our creative side has a a base to it and a reason behind it. For example even artists use reality as inspiration. Even abstract art has emotions behind it and even...
