    Condemned why?

    Well, then Calvinism has to be a lie of the devil.

    Condemned why?

    John 3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not...

    Does it help?

    Well I hope I've already made it clear that certainly agree with you on that, but I have heard several men teach it, not using those exact words, but definitely in principle. "When the husband is the right kind of head, there is no problem with the wife being submissive"- Chuck Swindoll "The...

    Does it help?

    Are you implying that just praying together would make all that fall into place? And how do we know how to "practice religion" if we're not taught how? And if we can simply read the Word of God for ourselves, then why do we need to listen to a preacher on Sunday? How can a wife know how and...

    The Reason Believers Are ABANDONING Churches NOW

    Ezekiel 34 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 3 Ye...

    1 Peter 3:Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. I'm not meaning she's being the "boss" if that's the way...

    Grandma and Grandpa in rocking chairs, on the porch, side by side, rocking. After awhile Grandma looks over at Grandpa lovingly, and sweetly says "I'm sure proud of you"......... Grandpa says "what did ya say?"........ a little louder she says "I'm sure proud of you"..........Still not making it...

    A quote from Chuck Swindoll: "Interestingly the wife is not commanded to love the husband; it's great if she does, but she's not commanded to love her husband. We're commanded to love our wives....." Umm, no, they're not given a direct "command"; the "aged women" are given that "command" to...

    Does it help?

    I'm not a pastor, but I have a question or two for any pastors who will answer. Last Sunday, Father's Day, our pastor preached a message to the fathers about manning up, shaping up, doing right, leading our families etc. He says that "on Mothers Day I 'take care of the women' but on Father's...

    Poll about how you see predestination/freewill

    Not sure I can vote. I believe that God sent His son to die for every man, woman and child and that we all have freewill to choose Christ or reject Him; so "Calvinism" is out. I also believe that once a person is saved, he's saved forever so, "Arminianism" is out. I believe God is the Alpha and...

    Behemoths and Leviathans?

    Historical and archaeological evidence show that there were crocodiles and elephants in ancient Palestine. Are they mentioned in the Bible and what were they called?

    Crumbling marriage

    Prayer is good, and not to be minimized. But all the prayer in the world won't help if the offended spouse doesn't also simply do what the Bible says. Your "conversation" is how you behave toward your spouse; and that goes for either spouse. 1 Peter 3 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to...
