"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because...

Okay, I've got to ask... I've read some posts about not taking Genesis literally. What are your thoughts on the beginning of life and what's the story of the spikey 600-foot Adam?

There appears to be a certain etiquette to be followed when posting. For example, hijacking threads appears to be a bad thing. I've never participated in a Forum before so I don't know all of these things. Perhaps there are others who would like to know as well and there doesn't appear to be...

Happy Birthday BB! Wishing you many, many more! I appreciate your help this year on a variety of subjects. Keep up the good work. Warmest Regards, Mark p.s. What is the origin of "bananabrain"?

2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know...

When I was a kid, my favorite part of church was the music. I remember staring up through the stained glass windows, my brain lit up with sound! Thinking "heaven must have great music". How important is music (or sound) in your thoughts of worship or meditation?

Do you or would you post on Sabbath? I'm on this site on Sabbath to discuss religious topics, thinking that's okay, but I don't notice any activity on this board. Would discussing the Torah online be a sabbathy thing to do? Thinking of Dauer's "psycho-halachic" thread...

Peter wanted to present the appearance of propriety when with the Jewish brethren and had this vision...(Acts 11) 1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. 2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the...

I come from a conservative background and, after a strict upbringing, "fell away" from the church. I spent many years studying "every religious philosophy I could get my hands on" and after much thought and prayer, came back to the church. Because of this experience, I am hesitant to label...

Where should Christians draw the line between living what you believe and saying what you believe? Or should there be a line? I live what I believe, but since I don't always say what I believe I may come off as being ashamed of the Gospel or something. If you had to label me, I'd be a...

(besides marrying my ex:D ) Attempted to drink vanilla extract as a kid because it smelled good... How about you?

We used to play this game when we were kids... The Rules 01. You must only use adjectives 02. You must re-type everything the person in fron of you types and add the next adjective starting with the next letter of the alphabet. I'll start... The minister's wife is Awful,

Deut 6:5 "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." Jesus said... Luke 10:27 "...Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as...

Do you think the concept of being a torah-observant Christian would be silly? Would you describe or provide a good link for the yearly Jewish feasts and what a person does on them?

There are four main paths of Yoga. I was thinking about different ideas of Christianity I've heard here and wondering if we could apply these paths to Christianity. They would be called: Karma Christianity - The Path of Action Bhakti Christianity - The Path of Devotion or Divine Love Jnana...
