It's tempting to be happy with the simple notion that someone is actually telling another person about Jesus. "Tempting", I say. Not quite content, but tempting nonetheless because I think we all...

She's resisting.

Switching tactics.

Employing guilt trips and feigning sadness.

My birthday isn't actually until the 28th. I'm trying to preempt this so im staying on it. I just forwarded her the store link via email and text message. This is going to happen for sure.

It's easier to be alone, friend, but not always better. The Bible says that Christ is found amidst the congregation. It's far from perfect but its the best we have. Plus, this is an online forum...

:yes::thumb:

I didn't actually see the remake. The reviews weren't great and Johnny Depp is kind of an awkward guy to me. If it happens to pop up on netflix on a late off night when the fam is gone I might watch...

I like apple pie.

I did a write in for Ron Paul. What sealed the anti-Romney vote for me was when he said "Bernanke is doing a great job and I think he should continue to head the FED" (or something to that effect)....

My birthday is coming up.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was a childhood dream. You're not human if you didn't feel the same. My favorite scene was when the father of that gum-chewing brat...

When I realized how unmanly it was to "find my own way" in college. Overrated.

21, dropped out, moved back in with mom, kicked it back, and told that broad to fetch me my slippers after whipping...

Where does the Bible say that unless an angel from heaven hand delivers you a message you will never know that God has done anything specifically for you? Where is the promise that you can only...

I just noticed how I used the quote feature for the Scripture references...worded funny, but it works I guess...

I think I've expressed enough of how I feel about this. I appreciate your desire to...

I think I already gave two examples. Moses and the wise men. Neither were specifically told anything concerning the thing that grasped their attention. They pursued it and found confirmation that it...

Well, it wasn't a gesture only regarding this particular instance. It shows to be something of a pattern. You're passionate. I see that. And taking personal offense to opinions that differ from your...

Dee Dee, what's the deal? She presented her views, so if you don't like it then simply disagree and move on. I don't think she deserved such harsh and insensitive responses. There's nothing wrong...

I feel you're drawing arbitrary differences in subject matter that need not be. Whether the OP or answered prayer, it's all the same. God responds in a personal way to see to our needs or direct our...

I really don't know what you're saying. What is a sign to you that somehow differentiates from the "pattern-recognition, signs mysticism"?

If you are in good standing and seeking God's will, and...

You could actually read the book of Acts. In it contains the full narrative of Paul's conversion and missionary journeys. It's about half the length of Genesis.

And forgive my typos...I'm trying my hand at tweb mobile.

For the record, this I was not replying to Obsidian here (hence, no quote). know you said something different. I was reminded of something I've heard before that your post reminded me of. There are...

Although it's important to not look too deeply into things and obsess over signs, to say that we can only receive something divine from the raw text of Scripture is a bit flat. I find it strange too,...

Real. My personal experience tells me that how we tend to think about it depends on how close we're walking with God at the time. Our interpretation of causality is largely connected to how much sin...

Oooh the irony! Do tell, friend! Do tell...!

Ah, I see. Well that's understandable. I will say this, though: no one can get away from being effected by the worldview (biblical or otherwise) they grew up in. The church is effected by our...

To be fair, alcohol does a much better job at that, and its both biblically condoned and legally permissible.

Really? I didn't need to become a Christian to understand that corporal punishment works. I was spanked, grabbed, and slapped on occasion (not saying that should happen), but in retrospect I know I...

It doesn't look like you'll find many in kindred spirit about this. You probably won't find it hardly anywhere. Not because its wrong necessarily but because our culture is SATURATED in philosophy of...

I read through the link. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it. We have biblical instruction for the corporal discipline of children, but of the same type for wives any direct support is...

LOL! You serious? Still pissed almost 8 years later??:lol:

I've been reading through your posts here. I totally understand the struggle. I have my own share of bouts with lust and viewing other women. I too am frequently bothered by the body conforming...

What an odd thread this turned out to be.

So we have agreement? That belief, as has been presented here, is insufficient and trust better describes what saving faith really is?

There are several biblical accounts of belief leading to salvation, while others would not indicate the same result. For instance, we have the thief on the cross and Cornelius with his household...

As an ex-atheist Christian I can tell you about how unhelpful it is to charge the person in question with the never-was-now-is condition. It's not like I was a subconscious Christian masquerading as...

I'd say at liberty to do what you desire. Another question is what do you desire, or what is desire itself? Perhaps you would will to not do your desire. What if I might physically self-flagellate...

Howdy, friend. Just curious, is this part sarcastic wit or...?

Jesse Duplantis. He's a pentecostal preacher. He claims to have met all kinds of people in heaven. including Abraham. His testimony comes complete in 4 "gospel"-like accounts. Take what you will from...

not staying in the boxing gym. You thought it was more serious didnt you? I trained for 6 months in the 7th grade and quit because I hated it at the time. I just needed a little push and step into...

I haven't been around tweb much and completely forgot to say thanks. It's late coming, but...thank you.

I don't think its due to a fading mind and old age. I've seen clips of Mr. Graham express himself on this before. It seems he legitimately arrived at this position at some point during his spiritual...

I don't think it's totally repulsive, but the term does bother me a little because I know that it stems from a discipline stripped of godliness and rooted in anti-christian principles. If parents...

I actually agree with SeanD's interpretation of Genesis 6. I think the Scriptures taken by themselves have greater support for that notion than any other. Enoch is interesting, and I have read it,...

Each semester becomes increasingly difficult. Each one I would call my current is the busiest, and the next looks back at the one before and sees how much easier it was. I'm up to sixty hours a week...

Ive been on hiatus for a while so itll take me a bit to remember everyone and generally where they are theologically.

Anyway...then mans charity stemming from impure motives does no justice to the...

Can't get past it. If you believe that, no one in good conscience can say that a soldier did a good thing by throwing himself onto a grenade to shield his friends from the blast. What was his sin? He...

I don't see any qualitative difference between the two regarding knowledge. Whether he sustains it or creates it he is the fundamental power from which everything else springs forth. Unless he is the...

I'm not the one putting a limit on God. Time is a reasonable thing to know in all its detail for an infinite being, future or otherwise. I did read the post that you linked, and I'm not missing the...

It's because the future is a fact that will certainly happen. Let me make a distinction. If the future has substance, let's say that it's set in stone (predestined, if you will). If it has no...

It's possible, and that might be the case with some people. They've got it rough. Haven't you ever heard the old baseball analogy? It's reaching first base. Most people recognize that kissing...
