I'm not sure I understood your last para ... would you elaborate a little for me ... and have a shot at the last question in my post.

Let me say at the outset that I believe a person with same sex attraction can be a Christian, and participate fully in the life of the Church. The dilemma for the Church is how to respond to same sex behaviour. For those churches whose ultimate authority is the Bible, there seems little doubt...

This article appeared in my local paper just today - this was the only place I could find it on the www (excerpts only). The archbishop [ of Canterbury] said that he was determined to preserve the unity of the church from being destroyed by the warring factions in the gay crisis. He said he has...

I wouldn't work on a cigarette counter either. And I don't think I would like being a policeman. But police have been very helpful to my family ... my daughter was threatened by some thugs on her way home from work one evening recently ... I am glad that there are men out there who are trained...

I think the number 24 must be significant ... the most logical conclusion is that it represents the 12 OT patriarchs, and the 12 apostles from the NT ... thus symbolically representing all believers. And who are the “living creatures” … can you pray to them too? Where did the church get the...

Unless, of course, it is the fundamentalists who are responsible for global warming, bird flu, and nuclear winter ... could be ;)

And here I was worrying about global warming, bird flu, and nuclear winter ... silly me! .

Yes, sorry if it sounded a bit disrespectful, but I was quoting. I think anybody with an inquiring mind would be interested in participating in an inter-faith program on a cultural level. At the moment, when there are so many misconceptions about Islam caused by the terrorist incidents, I...

Can a Jehovah's Witness be a policeman?

There does seem to be some rather divergent views on what is described as Christian fundamentalism. As one reviewer quipped, anyone to the right of Spong is a fundamentalist in some eyes; whereas for others, it means you blow up abortion clinics. Fundamentalism is not about the way you behave...

Sorry, I must have misunderstood.

ok :o

Re: Babylon the great Which suggests it may be a title of a role rather than a particular man's name. Anyway, we are told to count, or calculate, the number ... sounds like a maths calculation ... adding the number value of the letters, maybe? Any ideas?

So salvation for you is a work in progress, not a spiritual event? Is "salvation" the same as being "born again" (John 3)

Would you post a copy of Rev 5:8 from the Bible you use, and explain who the "saints" are in this verse? btw, I married a Catholic ... believe it or not, she was a Sister of Mercy :eek:

I am a parent as well as a Christian. I don't intend to be quiet about what sort of society I want my children and grandchildren to grow up in. I may not be able to do a whole lot about it, but in my little corner, I can at least speak up.

Mee, There seems to be a glitch in the system - the quote in the previous post is, of course, yours not mine ... I had to make some deletions to get it to come up right this time. Besides the question of whether a Christian can be a policeman (and all that involves), why not examine Jesus'...

sorry :o :o :o it wasn't me - the computer did it !!!
