    Can drugs and/or alcohol lead us to greater spirituality?

    As a Christian, I do believe that drugs and alcohol can lead one to spirituality. The question then becomes, what kind of spirituality could it lead to? From a Biblical prospective, an interesting point is raised when looked at the word translated in most modern english translations as...

    How do you KNOW that you are "right"?

    The same Paul who wrote that verse also wrote "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of this world, rather Than according to Christ." (Col. 2:8) You see, Paul, after his conversion...

    How do you KNOW that you are "right"?

    Believe it or not I actually agree with that position for a very interesting reason. You see, even as a Christian, I do not believe that morals/religious beliefs can be forced. One time, I had an interesting debate with another christian who believed that this country should be a theocracy. I...

    How do you KNOW that you are "right"?

    I find this very suprising coming from a self proclaimed chistian. 1 John 3:19 Sincerely, SoliDeoGloria

    How do you KNOW that you are "right"?

    The first place that we are probably "bumping heads" is where it comes to the use of the word "impose". The definition of the word goes as follows: *** The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 *** Impose \Im*pose"\, v. i. To practice tricks or deception. [1913...

    How do you KNOW that you are "right"?

    Do you have anything to validate that point? What is "quite" possible to you? I sense a whole lot of compassion in your statements. Where does that compassion come from? Your own personal beliefs based on what? For one who claims to not care to "know" if you are right or wrong, you obviously...

    Coke vs Pepsi

    I feel betrayed on this issue being as how I was brought up to be a pepsiholic and then my dad starts drinking coke. I have found that grape fierce gatorade is euphoric when I am working towards the end of the day though. That is why I felt like a school kid when I found that gatorade in the...

    How do you KNOW that you are "right"?

    Well a good place to start is to find a reliable philosophical methodology. In other words, a good standard for establishing what is truth/right and what is false/wrong. A lot of people confuse these with philosophies which is wrong. A philosophical methodology is a method by which people reach...

    Should I Enoch be part of the Bible?

    Even Christian theology has a scriptural basis. If christian theology were left up to anything as a basis for it, Anything could be considered christian. Then again there are those who feel that way anyways . As far as Luther having a problem with the book of James and Romans, I know that he...

    Why is it when anyone ask a question about the old testament, someone always gives yo

    From what I have seen as a christian, It unfortunatley comes from a lack of knowledge about the OT because of the reasons listed above. If I have done that, please let me know being as how there is no good excuse for me to do that myself. Sincerely, SoliDeoGloria

    Should I Enoch be part of the Bible?

    That depends on how you except Sola Scriptura. If you believe that man is finished being revealed to what the true scriptures are in the Bible then I guess that statement would be true. I suppose I better be really carefull how that statement is interpreted though. Please don't take that as I...

    Should I Enoch be part of the Bible?

    I was waiting for you to bring up Job. If you remember right, I stated that I was of the Opinion that Jude should not have been cannonized for the very reasons you stated above. What I like about the Job book being brought up is that while I could use the exact same reasons for throwing Job out...

    Hell: What do you think?

    I feel it is contradictive to exclusivate oneself from exclusivity. It's called a double negative which contradicts itself unless the one making the statement doesn't exclusivate themselves from being "more juvenile". Sincerely, SoliDeoGloria

    Should I Enoch be part of the Bible?

    I am all for Sola Scriptura. I would love to take a skillsaw to most if not all Bible commentaries for the simple fact that most people I see with a study Bible ususally run to their commentary at the bottom of the page before looking at other scripture that have to deal with the very same...

    More than a Carpenter

    I read it in 94. Then, I thought it was a great simple book on Christian Apologetic basics. I still feel the same way about it. Ofcourse Josh McDowell has written much more since then (Evidence That Demands a Verdict, More Evidence That Demands a Verdict, etc.). Josh Mcdowell is a pretty...

    Should I Enoch be part of the Bible?

    We just HAVE to pick on the Baptists eh? First off, as far as labels goes, Just because I belong to a Baptist church doesn't mean that I agree with absolutley everything in their doctrinal statement, laws, precepts, etc. I DO however agree with the essentials of that denomination. Take for...

    Should I Enoch be part of the Bible?

    I have had the same question for quite some time. From what research I have done on the first book of Enoch, I am of the opinion that the book of Jude shoud NOT have been cannonized simply for the fact that I think there is good reason why 1 Enoch didn't get cannonized although my only favorite...

    Self Esteem

    I wasn't sure where to put this one, but it has to do with linguistic philosophy so I decided to put it here. I'ts kind of funny how it starts out, so here goes nothing. I have a couple of kids in grade school. A big issue pushed in the schools for a while has been self esteem and how every...

    Hell: What do you think?

    I just wanted to make another contribution to this thread with the comparison of hell to the Nazi treatment of Jews and others. I find it ironic to compare the idea of hell with what the Nazi's did especially when compared with the contrast of how both ideas are looked at in the scope of...
