Re: What did Jesus mean by "lukewarm"?

Revelation 3:15f. has been interpreted by many parties in light of historical context. Laodicea was a prosperous city, but it had some issues with its water supply. Apparently water was transported by aqueduct from elsewhere and distributed through clay pipes; furthermore, it had a high mineral con...

Re: What did Jesus mean by "lukewarm"?

Example: For some, a christian having a beer would be considered "lukewarm". No , i think more like someone having an opportunity to be a good samaritan but passing it up because no one saw him. Going to church Sundays and gossiping during the week,or committing a variety of sins regularly, or bein...

Re: What did Jesus mean by "lukewarm"?

Can someone give an example (maybe a real one or hypothetical one), of what a lukewarm Christian actual looks like? This sort of speculation is always fascinating to me. I have a hunch, these descriptions are going to be relative to the individuals conviction. Example: For some, a christian having ...

Genocide or Hyperbole?

I'd be interested in opinions on the usage of hyperbole in the Old Testament. Either conclusive or personal opinion. Particularly passages that refer to killing foreign women and children. I've noticed that some Christians take a lot of this literal to the letter (believing there's no apparent hyper...

What did Jesus mean by "lukewarm"?

<< Revelation 3:16 >> So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth. I hear this verse being used in preaching to Christians to instill a bit of perhaps righteous fear . I've heard it used what seems to be rather casually at times as perhaps motivation ....

Re: Regarding the opening song for the program..

I didn't know the theme song came from a Cat Stevens song. Very interesting. I always kind of wondered why various Christian radio hosts chose the songs they did. Now I know the reason for at least one of them. I noticed a number of them still like to use the songs that resemble commercial jingles ....

Re: Question about salvation

As someone who studied these religions and was brought to God in a sense through them (As a teen I rejected the boring "fairy tales" of Christianity for the mystic nature of these religions, but realized they talked about many of the same things Christianity did. This allowed my heart to be open to...
