I realize I came into this discussion late, so please forgive me if I offend for that. Yes, technically the Jewish leaders put Jesus to death, but not really. I put Him to death, you put Him to death, everyone who has ever lived put Jesus Christ to death. There is a song that goes "I nailed Him...

Timor, if I may point something out. Every one of your examples was from the Old Testament Law. We are no longer under the Old Testament Law, or the Law of Moses. Christ fulfilled the Law of Moses with His finished work on the Cross of Calvary. (By the way though, on a slightly sarcastic note as...

My pastor explained it once this way--baptism is a form of obedience, if we put it off we are in disobedience to God. However, baptism is not a requirement of salvation--Biblical proof is the thief on the cross next to Jesus. He repented of his sins and Christ told him "I tell you, this day you...

The issue here can be viewed a number of ways, but I would request that we view it as such--the issue is not whether a homosexual couple can love each other or not. It is not whether they can love children. It is not whether they can raise capable children. The true issue is that homosexuality...

I'm in the minority that says "neutral" on this one. To be honest, I have enough stuff to deal with in my own life without trying to track what's going on in other people's lives too. My bottom line is, I'm not God, I can't tell you if he's lying or telling the truth, if he's guilty or innocent...

hehe...Vanaze hit the nail on the head for me with the Baptist comment My vote is "no"-not at all. ~Jordyn

Last year someone started this thread and it was really cool. The title pretty much says it all, what are you thankful for this year? I'm thankful for my salvation, my family and friends, especially my new little brothers that we're adopting, and yes, even for school. ~Jordyn

Okay, my aunt Beth could really use prayer now. She and her husband stopped coming to church over a year ago, and last time I was over at her house I finally got up the courage to ask her if she believes in God anymore. (I was pretty certain I knew the answer, but I wanted to know for sure, ya...

Minotesvardet really has no meaning, except to me and a few of my friends. I began a story last year, and minotes vardet means "little warrior" in it. Not that I'm a warrior.....lol ~Jordyn

God gives us free will. If I am your friend, and I have to be your friend, does that mean that I want to be your friend? Not necessarily. That is an example of why God does not force us to follow Him. If we love God because we have to, big deal. That isn't true love, that's loving because we...

Okay...well, here's my two cents. This debate over security of the believer comes very close to home with me, being that one of my close relatives no longer believes in God (if you could pray for her I would very much appreciate it ) I do not believe a Christian can lose his or her salvation...

If a woman does not have a family that she must support and be there for, I don't see a problem with women in the military. Many women would not even consider a career in the military, but some do, and I believe that those who wish to should be allowed to join the military and fight for their...

Jesus did not simply "fulfill the law", He did away with it. There is an Apologetix song that says "Law has been put an end to by Someone that is so far above it all." Romans 10:4 says that disobedience ends with faith in the Son of man-that is to say, Jesus. This means that our obedience to the...

Okay, I voted "other", so here's my explanation. Hell is eternal separation from God, yes, but it is also a place of eternal torment. I have heard people say "I'm going to hell to be with all of my friends," which is only partially true. Yes, your friends may be in hell as well as you, but you...
