Evidence for God from Science

My personal view is that Jesus wasn't saying that God 'can't or 'won't' forgive blaspheming the HS, but that the people who truly commit this sin are so deep in unbelief that they will never change their ways. Basically, I think Christ is saying that He would forgive if those people would ever ask, ...

I step away from the forum for a little while and come back to immediately find an OSAS debate. This should be interesting. My $.02, I wholeheartedly do not believe that a truly saved person can be lost. Reason being, we aren't left up to our own devices. The HS helps us, and God whips our butt if n...

Repentance is a tricky word. If I remember correctly, the most correct way to translate it would be to say that it is a change of heart. That basically means that to repent of your sin would mean to change your mind about the fact that your sin is wrong. Essentially, acknowledge that you have made o...

It sounds to me like you are either a new believer, or someone who has renewed his commitment to Christ. Either way, it's awesome! I can tell you have a lot of questions. In fact, you sound exactly like I did at one time. There was a time when I felt like I was beginning to come to grips with the id...

I ask this I guess mainly and I may sound like I have ocd, but I just can't nail down the full meaning of faith. And I'm afraid that if I don't I may find out after I die and end up in hell that I really didn't have faith but I thought while on earth I did. ' Someone asked Christ a very similar thi...

It seems to me, both in life experiences and in my reading, that God is all about heart attitude and not some legalistic mindset. Case in point, the Pharisees tried to place blame on Jesus for "working" on the sabbath. He went off on them, and rightfully so. They were getting legalistic an...

You're talking about the unforgivable sin. That verse has caused a few hearts to skip a beat, including mine when I first read it. Here's my view: Jesus said that it was the one sin that 'would' not be forgiven, not 'could not' be forgiven. He also talked about it right after the Pharisees said that...

So has anyone watched the GCB show on ABC? I've read about it, and seen a few previews, so I don't need to watch it to know how I'd feel about it... My main question is which companies advertise on that show? Since ABC hasn't responded to calls to drop it, I figure we as Christians need to go one st...

CS Lewis once wrote: If we discover a desire within us that nothing in this world can satisfy, also we should begin to wonder if perhaps we were created for another world.

Dallas, Let's be honest, having a crush that isn't reciprocated sucks... I think I wrote about it earlier, but I've been there. Most people have, whether they admit it or not. I used to wonder why God would let me feel that kind of pain. I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Then something clicked: ...

You've got two issues in one regarding your post. 1. Is it worse for a girl to be promiscuous or for a man? 2. Are men inherently more dominant than women? To answer the first one: It's wrong for people of either gender to go around "hooking up" and sleeping with whoever walks by. We don't...

While many times prayers get answered in the way we ask, many other times the answer is no. When they're answered with a yes, we think we can ask for something else and it too will be a yes. Sometimes we get a string of prayers answered with a yes. Other times we may get a string of no. It's easy fo...

Any news, lover boy? y:-" Uhm.... I'm getting mad at this whole situation. So much going on with family life, then this just makes it worse :(. Nonetheless, I think she knows I like her, so she keeps avoiding me. Oh well... Ugh.... :( Dallas, I think you would probably feel a whole lot better ...
