Re: TO LittleShepherd
Interesting point that God doesn't want the arabic peoples to be muslim. If He doesn't, then who does?... I think that revelation, from our viewpoint in 2005, is history and prophecy... Satan has at his disposal in Revelation a huge army. Who are these people and where did they come from? They are ...

Re: TO LittleShepherd
That's the crux of it. Why has God allowed Muslim teaching to become so entrenched? He doesn't want them to be Muslims, of course, but if you look at where the Muslim lands are, you see they're in a prime spot to fulfill some important prophecies from the Old Testament. Namely the ones about certai...

Re: TO J316
If you think evil is satanic or comes from Satan and you view that as the actions of Satan, we are fully with you in that regard. This only partially correlates with the Christian belief in Satan. We know that Satan has the ability to do certain evil acts, but only when God allows him in order to f...

Re: just give me one sin
if we do everything else right (but salvation has already been granted so it doesn't matter) but choose to partake in one sin...what happens? First and foremost, <B>other people die.</B> At the point you become a Christian, it's not about you anymore. You're a representative of Christ, and by your ...

Actually, the Biblical canon was never determined by any sort of official council, but came together naturally as the books were accepted by God's people as they were written. The Bible canon naturally fell into place. There was a council in Jamnia in AD 95 to determine the official canon of the Old...

Do you know where the teaching that Muslims will inherit heaven and wives for their suicidal martyrdom come from? I actually think this isn't directly from the Quran. It's worth noting, however, that the Quran isn't the Muslims only holy book -- just the most well-known and most revered, being dict...

There is at least one logical fallicy in this whole thing, and it can be remedied with one statement -- Christian accounts are always simpler and clearer than pagan accounts. Point in case, the Creation story. It's not the first Creation story ever penned, and it's not even the first Creation story ...

As a Professor of Medieval and Renaissance English Literature, it suited Lewis to be thought of as just a religious or Christian thinker, rather than an academically qualified theologian which he wasn't, thereby enabling him to make a more authentic appeal to the common ordinary man in the street. ...

C.S. Lewis never, as far as I know, claimed to be a theologian. In fact, he frequently said that he was not a theologian. That's not entirely accurate, to my knowledge. He claimed to be a layman -- ie not clergy. He stuck to simple matters of Christianity(in his opinion), refusing to back a specifi...

Even if it's someone like Osama Bin Laden or Charles Manson? Even with leaving them alone with your child? I don't think there's anything wrong with us Christians being chary with people like that even if they are born-again. Please try to exercise some common sense. And read the entirety of my pos...

I have no trouble trusting a former inmate. I know that at least once a former inmate has been invited to my church by someone from our regular prison ministry -- and actually showed up. I always hear of this after the fact, but it happens. I remember going on the Bill Glass prison ministry. Our pri...
