Here are some Christian books I would recommend for reading: "The Extent of the Atonement" by David Allen "Another Gospel" and "Living Your Truth and Other Lies" by Alisa Childers "The Atonement" by William Lane Craig "Cold Case Christianity" by J. Warner Wallace "The Potter's Promise" by...

Something I've been thinking about: Of all of Jesus' "I am" statements in John, only one is capitalized, namely where He said "Before Abraham was, I AM" (John 8:58). We know that it hearkens back to Exodus 3, where God spoke to Moses from the burning bush: "I AM who I AM. Thus you shall say...

"Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man? 30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. 31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore...

"Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into...

Recently, I learned about a Roman official named Lucius Sejanus. He was the right-hand man to Emperor Tiberius Caesar (as well as the head of the Praetorian Guard). Tiberius was the reigning Emperor at the time of Jesus' crucifixion. Sejanus was the one who chose Pilate to govern Judea, and he...

Jesus is God and He has always been the Son, but has He always been King from eternity past? Or did He only become King at the Incarnation? I honestly don't know which is true, but I wanted y'all's thoughts on it. Scripture references are welcome. Thanks!

In Matthew 5, the Scripture says: “You have heard that it was said to those [d]of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother [e]without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever...

"There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. 33 And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left. 34 [h]Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what...

Here is something I realized recently. Consider both 1 Kings 18 and Matthew 27: "And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, “Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel...

Hey everyone, A post in a thread in the Singles forum prompted this thread: Here are some of the best or best-selling albums of all time: "Their Greatest: 1972-1975" by the Eagles "Deja Vu" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young "Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac "The Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd...

Was Jesus murdered, or did He lay down His life of His own accord? I would say that it's both, because the Scriptures don't contradict themselves. John 10:18 (NKJV): "No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This...

Back by popular demand!! :LOL: I was asked to bring more "songs" lists to the forum, so here we go: "Have a Cigar" by Pink Floyd "La Grange" by ZZ Top "The Voice" by the Moody Blues "Foolish Beat" by Debbie Gibson "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival "Mr. Soul" by Buffalo...

Hey everyone, What happened to @Oncefallen? Is he/she no longer here? If so, that might explain a few things, if you know what I mean.

Zeroturbulence & Blue Ladybug Did they both leave permanently, or are they just on hiatuses?

Hey everybody, Without going into details, I want to let y'all know that my mom died almost a week ago. Please pray that God will continue to comfort and strengthen my family during this time. Thanks!

A lot of people have asked why Jesus was crucified by the Romans rather than stoned by the Jews. After all, He, according to the Jewish leaders, had committed blasphemy by claiming to be God. In the Old Testament, the prescribed penalty for blasphemy was stoning. There's also the issue of...

I just started thinking about this: Romans 3 says that the Law stops every mouth and that all of mankind is held guilty before God because of it. Romans 7 says that the Law is not sin; rather it is holy, just and good. Galatians 3 says that the Law was our schoolmaster/tutor and was added...

A variation on TamLynn's "Bacon" thread: Replace a word in a song title with the word Waffle (or Waffles). I'll start: Big Bad Waffles

Exodus 20:4-6 NKJV: “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the...

Am I just imagining things, or does there seem to be a group of (possible) trolls that has descended upon this site? Who only seem to be interested in stirring up conflict and dishing out insults? We feed them; they stick around We don't feed them; they stick around It's a catch-22...
