Re: Pagan Christianity
You completely ignored over 2,0000 years of church history. You ignored the councils, creeds, restoration and reform movements, etc... asking a question in answer to a question as if they never existed or guided Christiandom???! Don't pretend like it isn't necessary or desirable for Christiandom to ...

Re: Obama's Health Plan
They have an extremely profitable economy (16 1/2 million people managed to post the 16th largest economy in the world) with very low unemployment (e.g. 3-4%) with almost no illegal immigration being very homogeneous. We would have to clean up our act and get back on track to scale their model to ou...

Re: Pagan Christianity
Where is the accountability in that model? What stops cult leaders and false teachers from arising and leading many astray within the body? I'm not seeing it.

Re: blizzard on east coast
Colorado's 2008 crime statistics for vehicle thefts were just 13,519 from a population size of 4,939,456. California had 242,692 vehicle thefts from a population size of 36,756,666.

Re: Does anyone actually know what the word CHRISTMAS means?
The Roman Church was unable to get rid of saturnalia, so early in the 4th Century, they adopted the holiday and tried to make it a Christian celebration of the Lord's birth. They called it the Feast of the Nativity. This custom has been part of western culture ever since. I wouldn't make much out of...

Re: Merry Christmas
Over them he stretched his right hand, To subdue their stubborn natures, To allay their thirst and fever, By the shadow of his right hand; Spake to them with voice majestic As the sound of far-off waters, Falling into deep abysses, Warning, chiding, spake in this wise: "O my children! my poor c...

Re: Pagan Christianity
I don't find it threatening, but I have to wonder if we are examining all fo the factors here. Post-modern thought, size of the church, the lack of serious growth, the feel-good thinking and theology, the lack of emphasis on repentance and confession, ....the lack of service....all of these factor ...

Re: Is "self defence" fine or wrong?
It's really bothered me for a while, because I've had this sword (precisely, a machete) in my room recently due to there being a giant six-foot long snake terrorizing my family's home for a few minutes before leaving. If a human being were to break in, I'd naturally kill him in an instant as to sto...

Re: blizzard on east coast
I wish we had a storm out here right now. It would have prevented the Sherrif from waking me up an hour ago at midnight and showing me the damage vandals just did to my truck smashing out two windows for the fun of it. They hit numerous cars in the area and got away clean. Since mine was on the stre...

Re: English Gematria: Integrates with AKJV Bible
