Fundamentalist is a label that seems to be tossed around pretty liberally on this forum. Basically, if you believe in the Bible, you're branded as a fundamentalist here by most of those (excluding the intellectuals) who do not. And what goes hand-in-hand with this label is, of course, the...

Homosexuality has come up quite a bit in other threads lately, so I thought this topic would be timely. What do you think of the concept of an institutionally gay church? A church where homosexual people would be welcomed? Where they would be allowed to worship freely? Where the sermons would be...

These references are from Revelation 2 and 3 respectively: This synagogue of Satan is one of only few references that appear in more than one of the seven letters. Who does it refer to?

This comes from one of the other threads, on which the idea was raised that certain Biblical views that are unpopular due to their political-incorrectness are subject to censorship on web post forums, while other moderate, apologetic, sugar-coated beliefs are promoted over them. Here's my...

In the book of Acts, Christians are not known as Christians, but as "the Way." From then until now, it seems to me that Christianity-- and hence Christians themselves-- have drifted farther and farther away from their roots in Judaism. From this separation our culture as Christians has evolved...

Here's a topic that was raised in the "Can the Bible be taken literally" thread. One member said that we cannot take the Bible literally because it is full of contradictions. However, this member didn't give a single example to prove their point-- nor do most people who claim that the Bible is a...

This one is directed specifically for all of the Muslims, Jews, and Christians out there, but all are invited to reply. Although we all believe in one God, it's pretty clear that we have far different opinions of who God is. One interesting issue arising from this conflict of belief is that of...
