Muslims Converting After "Isa Dreams"

In the Muslim world, dreams have a much bigger significance than they do in the west. Apparently there is a phenomenon of Muslims dreaming about Isa (Jesus) where He invited them to follow Him, and they convert to Christianity. Here's a site about it, with links: http://www.isadreams.org/links-for-f...

Re: Shroud of Turin

Byblos, that was a good video... it was uncomfortable as he sounded like he was talking with asthma.. couldn't catch his breath... first half hour was the worst of it to get used to... very good content. He must have been one of the originals after STURP with all the references he used. I think it'...

Re: Shroud of Turin

For the latest summary of the shroud study check this 2 hour video by Dr. McQuaid, forensic pathologist and shroud expert. Intelligent, but he sounds like he's having a heart attack while giving that brief. Lol, I know, very annoying to listen to him but the man knows his stuff. Yeah, he gets his s...

Re: Declining

Some are taking this as a sign of, "wheat being separated from chaff" and are not bothered by it.

Myself? Well we are told this will happen.

Re: I'm a Christian and I'm struggling with homosexuality

Well I'm not going to condemn you; I can't say I've struggled too much with this. All I can do is give you resources.

This article is by a gay woman with that struggle: http://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the ... sexual-sin

Some Mormon Resources.

Ran into these while discussing Mormonism on another board with Mormons. As soon as I put these up, the thread went silent. There has been some mention that, in the last few years, the LDS Church has been hemorrhaging members over the research being posted on the 'net about the origins of the Book o...
