I'm not trying to be offensive, but it seems as though you're putting your love of 'Freedom of Speech' above your love of God. Of course, that is your choice to do so, but it clearly violates the number 1 commandment in the entire bible, loving God above all else.

First of all, 'Virtual' IS In Real Life. Saying offensive things to see their 'rage', that rage is In Real Life based on something you said. It's anonymous? Not anonymous from God... Censorship is bad? What kind, the kind that says what you should or shouldn't do(God's laws, believing in...

I'm not familiar with the different formats or with writing this type of college paper for that matter! However, I think it's well written and has good points. My only personal discrepancy would be to Cain 'cheating' God. At this point, there is no foundation for offerings. To me it looks...

Just a thought, but you could use this opportunity to witness. Tell her you've been saved, and thoughts of her were brought to rememberance, and you wanted to make sure she's had the opportunity to hear the gospel.

I agree. That's why all the real 'classics' that are still fun today are the ones that make you want to throw the controller at the TV because you've done the same level 50 times in a row, and not because you didn't get the random item you wanted, but because it was just that hard! When you...

A few names come to mind...but I must resist.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, I thought you were indicating that everyone is a child of God, saved and unsaved. I was just pointing out scriptures that refute that. If I am mistaken in what you were saying, then I appologize, but at least it was a good refresher on the...

I don't think this has much effect on the root of the current topic, but I felt I had to inject something here: 1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Eph...

To me, this all boils down to meat sacrificed to false idols. It doesn't matter what others used it for, as long as you're using it rightly, then it's ok. Google may make their own worldly decisions, but that no affect on me, I can still use their products for good purposes.

I agree, but where do we draw the lines. For example, what if someone else from my church believed it was wrong to eat meat, they then saw me doing my grocery shopping and I had some steaks in the carts, the think, wow, looks good, can't resist... Have I just caused them to stumble? Is this...

Well, to each his own..... I decided to overturn my previous decision not to watch The Book Of Eli based on this thread, and for the most part, I regret it! As stated, everyone's welcome to their own opinion, so I'm going to rant about mine :) The movie was very slow and drawn out, which I...

I agree that article as a whole was a bit over the top! I may be conservative, but I can't stand when ultra-conservatives preach their extra-biblical standards as biblical truths. I also agree that if I felt it wrong to do, it would be a sin for me to do it, but that doesn't mean one can't...

I've been thinking about taking classes, probably karate or taekwondo. My intents are to supplement going to the gym to better get in shape, learn how to better defend myself should the absolute need arise, and to improve my self-discipline, hopefully affecting all areas of my life(diet...

I can't help but feel I am that friend who always 'needs' an answer, if not, then at least this still states my stance. :) As I have always stated, I agree that there are some things that there's no way of knowing 'for sure', but for me, that is in no way an excuse not to study the subject...

It's just a matter of semantics. I guess the more correct term to use would be fornication. Even though the verse doesn't say you commit fornication by lusting in your heart, I think it's pretty safe to imply that if a married man would be commiting adultry, and unmarried man would be fornicating.

Luke 1: 15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. 41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and...

Are you referring to 'man made' doctrines, or the scriptures themselves? If you're meaning man made, then I would agree with you. I call those 'standards', and everyone has their own standards. However, if you're referring to the actual scriptures, then I must disagree. If our understanding...

When my wife and I had decided(been led by God) to leave our previous denomination for scriptural reasons, one of my few requirements for our new church was to not believe in eternal salvation. We like to study out the scriptures and do everything we can to the best of our abilities, and as far...

Matthew 12:31-32 31Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the...

Job 42:7-8 7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath. 8 Therefore take unto you now...
