madscientist said: its said that praying is a dialogue with God. But since we cant really hear the voice of God speaking to us, maybe only imaginary, is it really a dialogue, a talk? Do we hear the voice back? Who told you that you can't hear God? Where is that written? Okay, okay . . . I realize yo...

Hi madscientist. There are two issues here: One is whether or not people (of other religions) feel good about it when they pray and second is how people know they are relating to the REAL God. You're right there IS a certain amount of "good feeling" or personal satisfaction that goes with ...

I so agree with you. Especially in the West (being the ultimate consumers that we are) we tend to "market" Christianity like it's a product. But most "witnessing" takes place as people watch us, not as a result of some overt act or speech. For all the evangelistic talk about &quo...

If I may jump in here with a point. The meaning of the word "passion" is pain or suffering. Hence, the "passion" of Christ, a "Passion Play." Jesus says that if we are His disciples, we will take up the cross and follow Him. For each one, the cross can be a different th...

I've been reading this thread . . . and it seems that no one has really addressed the topic-- should we love Satan? Jesus, (in the Sermon on the Mount quoted in Matthew 5, and in another sermon quoted in Luke 6) does say "love your enemies," but in context , both of those statements refer ...

NO problem... Now I do agree with your Sons about AOL but I thought I would be quiet ;) :D I know, I know. When we first got it (in the mid 1990's!), we were total novices with the internet so it worked for us. Now, we have work e-mails and I have e-mail on my website etc. Since one is SUPPOSED to ...

Thanks for the welcome! A quick question: I got a notification of a reply to my e-mail account (which is on AOL), but couldn't log in from there. Then I remembered I was on Mozilla Firefox when I joined the forum . . . so I went over to Mozilla , and from there and could log in. Will I always have t...

Hi My name is terry and I just wanted to introduce myself. I started off on this thread with the best of intentions (to read from the beginning) but along about page 5 or 6 :idea: I admit I skipped up to page 23 and picked it up from there. I found this forum on the website (great website by the way...
