    Pray for my wife and me ...

    Well, I am literally going to be walking out the door in about 30 minutes to head out for a brief picnic with my family and then off to the airport. Today I leave for two weeks of study with one of my profesors and some other students in Israel and Jordan. Please pray for my wife (Jeanette)...

    A peek into the future

    Might of Menethil has to be one of the baddest weapons in the game, that is some sick stats ... Fists of Unrelenting I like, and the Slayer's Crest looks outstanding as well.

    Religious Texts

    If we are going to assume an omniscient, omnipotent Creator God, who has formed everything we see, including us in our mother's wombs ... is it that big of a stretch to think that He could order it and use it so that the books He wanted preserved would be?

    Reality?

    No. All of the Bible was written to a specific audience, but that does not mean that it does not apply to today. If there is no application to today, what is the point of the Bible at all? Yes, Paul was writting to the Romans, but you fail to say why that is of any consequence or why...

    The Great Commission

    As for the Kingdom being near, it was at the time it was preached early in the Gospels/ministry of Christ. During His lifetime He was making an offer of the promised Kingdom to the Jewish people, but they rejected it. What we are in now is the 'time of the gentiles'. You made mention of the...

    Religious Texts

    No I do not. There are other great texts with good value, which may contain some truth, but I believe God preserved what He wanted us to have as far as His Scriptures are concerned. No, the Council of Nicea had nothing to do with forming the cannon of scripture, contrary to Mr. Brown's...

    The Great Commission

    There's also more than just those passages ... you have the high priestly prayer where He says that He has sent them out (17:18), in John 20:21 He directly sends them, in Acts 1:8 He tells the disciples (this was a great number of them, not just the 12) that they WILL be His witnesses. But...

    Reality?

    Historically you are incorrect, in modern Christianity, yes the doctrines of the Reformation are under attack. Here is what I am saying, taken strait from Scripture, Romans 1: 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress...

    Reality?

    I believe that God has revealed Himself to us all, He has left us without excuse, but we all are sinners, and all are dead in our sins and trespasses. We are all utterly fallen and none will ever turn to God unless He first quickens us with new life. How and why He choses each of us is His own...

    Reality?

    As you wish, you can believe what you like about me. I was not raised as an atheist I was raised as an agnostic. In my entire first two decades of life basically I set foot in a church two times, both when I was about 5. My parents were completely a-religious, and my father was a science...

    Reality?

    The resurrection for one separates it from all other religions. Mohammed is dead in his grave. Budha likewise. Christ is the only one who rose again on the third day to prove who He was. In Budhism you have the parable of the blind men and the elephant, in Christianity you have the elephant...

    Realm Forum Hate

    ... especially since there are a great many places in today's world where that is the Christian experience. In fact there have been more Christian martyrs in the last 100 years than in all of the rest of the 1900 years prior.

    Reality?

    See and I take great issue with that. Realize that the statement you just made would be loved by every post-modern and relativist thinker out there, and I would have to then say ... well why follow Christianity. Because the idea you are espousing is that all religions are equally valid, because...

    Reality?

    In my humble opinion the natural, observable and testable points to the Creator plainly. I suggest a book to you, titled "In 6 Days", which contains papers written by 50 different highly degreed and awarded scientists explaining from their field of expertise why they have been led to believe and...

    Reality?

    Well that dashes my impressions of you then. Most modern thinkers (being actually post-modern in philosophy) have a huge problem with the entire thing. Now modernists, yes, would agree with everything up until the last clause. By the fact that all of this reality was begun by said being, and...

    Reality?

    I would say that reality is the sum total of all things that are true about our universe. And truth then could be defined like this: "Truth is that which corresponds to reality, identifies things as they really are, must be able to be expressed in propositions, and is sourced in the God of...

    Off question (DAOC)

    I loved DAoC, before it got ruined by ToA it was the best MMO there was in my opinion ... I actually did play on Percival as my main (part of Nova Militia Templaris) but sadly I did not know you guys back then, so I guess this is a pointless post for what you are looking for, so I'll just move...

    The True Danger Behind Modern Music

    T-Bone is another Christian rapper ... he had a great song on the soundtrack for (and a part in) The Fighting Temptations. I have mixed feelings about the movie, there being some messages in it that I don't care for ... but the music in it is outstanding Gospel music.

    So you celebrate Easter...

    DV, but who was that covenant made with? It was not God's covenant with all people, but His covenant with Israel, whom He had (and has) a special relationship with. The same with the Sabbath ... read the OT and it says in clear, specific words that the Sabbath keeping is a covenant between God...

    Question about Revelations

    That is where the lost will stand before their Holy, Righteous Judge and be forced to give an account for their lives. We can see that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (for the saved) or consigned to Sheol/Hell/etc for the lost, but there is a future judgment where the...
