Re: What if we all were in the same church?
What if we were all in the same church? I guess the answer to that question is, it depends. It depends on what kind of church. I church planted years ago, and desired the flexibility of beliefs that are represented on this board. The problem is, without some form of ecclesial authority, wolves came ...

Re: What if we all were in the same church?
There are different causes for the formation of denominations. While we think it's doctrinal differences, I think it is often more about renewal movements that God brings, and how they are received by established churches. Luther, John Wesley, the Anabaptists, were each renewal movements that eviden...

Re: Question about unmarried mothers
... I have treated the young woman in question very much like a sister (as I've said, it is only involuntarily that a dream/thought has even entered my mind). I have certainly fled immorality (going out of my way to not engage in intimate conversation or be alone with her). I've been alert to the t...

Re: Upcoming Election
Can you tell me specific legislation and foreign policy changes you believe will happen under a President Clinton and the impact that will have in 2018.

Re: Question about unmarried mothers
IMO should not be "thrown" at other believers in most cases. This implies that Christian men are mentally and emotionally unstable, which may describe a handful of Christian men, but not the majority.... So, if I am labeled as "pathological" or "being afraid of being around women" because of being ...

Re: Question about unmarried mothers
Morbo, So in my previous post where I describe my relationship with Dan's wife, or his relationship with my wife, for example, is that what you would call a healthy male-female relationship? Dwight Yes. Though descriptive and not prescriptive. I wouldn't limit it to the bounds you describe. Those s...

Re: Question about unmarried mothers
I wish I had not mentioned Mattrose at all in my questions, Morbo, because it's appears that you had one answer, but after reading this thread, you saw where I stood and where Mattrose stood, so you had to "take sides" and delete your answers. It would be very interesting to see your original answe...

Re: Question about unmarried mothers
I replied to Dwight's questions, then returned and read this thread and deleted my answers, because they didn't reflect the context. 1. What happens in dreams aren't sin, because they aren't willful. Dreams are the mind's garbage processor. All the stuff that is on our minds, or jumbled around in me...

Worship as response to God's Love and Faithfulness
I'm picking apart modern congregational songs to try and understand the frame of mind of the congregational singer and the song-writer. These are some of the themes: 1. Worship and praise. Descriptions of God's attributes, giving him glory and honor. 2. Response to his love and faithfulness 3. Praye...
