Yes, I believe that in Genesis, God said. And that He meant what He said and said what He meant!

On these boards, is there a way to....

.... permanently set the order of posts in discussions so that the newest one is first? I know I can set it using the dropdown at the bottom of the page, but it doesn't retain the setting.

Thanks.

does the bible mention dance as part of worship...anywhere? Most are in the Old Testament. However, Jesus used dancing as a metaphor to represent a joyful response to the gospel: Mat 11:17 We played the flute for you, but you didn't dance; we sang a lament, but you didn't mourn! I see the flute as ...

A thousand years is like a day

2000 years isn't very long. It's only like 2 God-days. A day with God is as a thousand years and all that. When compared to eternity, it's practically nothing. Hi LS. Sadly, the old earth creationists take those verses that seem to equate a thousand years to equal a day totally out of context. Let'...

Re: hello

Hello, new here...but been around. Hello, Hitch. I'm fairly new here, too. I'm a Christian, but was an unbeliever for the first 43 years of my life. I don't think there is a "God" 2000 + years and still waiting, the Pope died and did not show any sign or bolt of lightning to justify his e...

Re: seventh day adventist

why aren't they allowed to dance? I copied this from the SDA Church Manual: Another form of amusement that has an evil influence is social dancing. "The amusement of dancing, as conducted at the present day, is a school of depravity, a fearful curse to society." - Messages to Young People...

I forget who said this, b/c I just skimed over this topic, but whoever said you 'hated the doctrines, not the Catholic church.' Is it possible that you hate the doctrines because you don't understand them? Bishop Fulton J sheen said 'not one hundred ppl in the USA hate the Catholic church, but mill...

I believe witnessing is how we live our lives, If we live our lives as the example set my Jesus then we are good witnesses for God, and as jesus did we will draw interest in a good way, because people will say "WOW, look at these people, they have something I am interested in, lets learn about...

Witnessing

I'm basically a shy person who is not comfortable with casual conversation, especially with strangers. I've witnessed to friends, and just yesterday I attempted to witness to a stranger. A man who spoke English, but not very well, came up to me to try to sell me some jewelry. He said he was from the...

One online study of the subject

I'm not advocating this website in general. Some stuff is a little weird. Nor am I implying agreement or disagreement with the article. However, they do have a biblical study on the subject: http://www.atruechurch.info/home.html Scroll down the left side to the "Controversy" area and there...

Just throwing more scripture into the pile: Acts 15 gives a description of 4 things the early church fathers wanted us to do/not do. They didn't necessitate a need for baptism. Acts 15:28, 29 Are these really the two verses you meant to quote? Act 15:28 "For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit a...

I think baptism is more of a physical action of a spiritual nature-purification of a person through accepting Christ. I haven't had it yet, but I plan on it. I don't think God is concerned with physical actions-it's what in your heart. That's why infant baptism means nothing-the child has no clue w...

Re: Baptism & The Church

I've never been baptized and I always assumed it wasn't a requirement for salvation, but lately I've been reading conflicting reports. Essentially I'm wondering if anyone has a definitive answer to this question? Yes, be baptized (by immersion). It is a necessary response to the gospel message upon...
