Deeper Waters Forum Guidelines
Notice – The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.
Deeper Waters is founded on the belief that the Christian community has long been in the shallow end of Christianity while there are treasures of the deep waiting to be discovered. Too many in the shallow end are not prepared when they go out beyond those waters and are quickly devoured by sharks. We wish to aid Christians to equip them to navigate the deeper waters of the ocean of truth and come up with treasure in the end.
We also wish to give special aid to those often neglected, that is, the disabled community. This is especially so since our founders are both on the autism spectrum and have a special desire to reach those on that spectrum. While they are a special emphasis, we seek to help others with any disability realize that God can use them and that they are as the Psalmist says, fearfully and wonderfully made.

Thoughts on Living Biblically

anyone watch "Kevin probably saves the world?"
It is definitely NOT biblical or Christian - it is a comedy about an angel-like woman and a screwup guy that is one of the "last righteous souls" who has to find other ones and in the meantime he goes around helping others.
Like I said, it is not Christian, but it is a pretty good show about helping others with a bunch of goofiness tossed in.

I think the danger (or downside) to these kinds of shows is that they present a form of godliness, but never address the real Truth - that Jesus died for sinners, and there's "a payday some day". Kind of "you don't have to be saved to be nice*".
*yes, I think you can be nice without being saved, but that's not the pointThe first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

Sounds like a parody of living Biblically. That is the sort of stuff we hear from TWeb atheists. Mixed fabrics indeed.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Originally posted by Adrift View PostMany of the laws mentioned in the Old Testament weren't intended for just any ol person who happened to be living in Israel, or for one individual to take upon himself. Tons of those laws were intended to be accomplished by Priests that the common Israelite would have had little part in. I had never heard of this Jacobs character before this thread, but apparently in his attempt to "live Biblically" he did things like stone adulterers, blew the shofar and refrained from trimming the corners of his facial hair. Generally speaking, the priests were the ones who blew the shofar, not lay Israelites. You didn't typically just stone people you thought were committing adultery...even adulterers received a trial, and the penalty ranged from divorce to stoning. Growing the corners of his facial hair is probably fine."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.
