    We Cannot Fully Comprehend God

    I propose an alternative (or perhaps supplementary) theory to conflicting dogmas. Right now we've got the Calvinists against the Arminians, and the Pro-Tongue vs. the Anti-Tongue. Have we ever stopped amongst our bickering to realize something rather fundamental? We can't fully understand God...

    Album List/Compilation/Review Thread

    Review and/or list what you feel are the best Christian albums! To kick it off, I'll list mine. My musical standards tend to favor melody-writing, production, and arrangement. Vocal quality comes second to those things while lyrics come third. I consider these albums to be standouts, which...

    The Illusion of Lonliness (Reposted from BDF)

    I posted this in the BDF a few weeks ago, but realized it would probably be more appropriate here. Why do we tend, as Christians, to buy into the illusion that we are alone? It's a question I've asked myself, often. When we are saved, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell inside of us. We are NEVER...

    Parallels between Canaanite and Israelite/Judahite beliefs?

    Let me start this thread off with a preface; I, as a Christian, have absolutely zero intent to cast any doubt into anyone's minds or to support any line of thinking that would lead to doubt Christ. I understand that atheists and agnostics often bring up this topic in order to further their...

    What is TULIP?

    I'm not Calvinist, but I am curious what this is.

    Leviticus and Jesus

    This is a bit of a follow up thread to my old Yahweh and Yeshua comparison and contrast thread, and in a way a companion to the Did Jesus abolish the law thread. In this thread though I want to specifically look at some of the laws in Leviticus and compare to Jesus' teachings and actions...

    "The Synoptic Problem"?

    Scholars often talk of the "synoptic problem" when studying the synoptic Gospels. I understand the basics of what they are saying, but the majority of their studies reek of a heavily secularist bias, so I am a bit skeptical of their conclusions. That being said, I do think there is some...

    Cessationism

    Where did this doctrine come from? Is there any scripture to back it up? I have yet to find any. Why is cessationism versus continuation such a dividing factor in the church today? Obviously, I am not a cessationist. If you are, don't worry, I don't think you're a bad person or 'not saved'...

    The Illusion of Loneliness

    Why do we tend, as Christians, to buy into the illusion that we are alone? It's a question I've asked myself, often. When we are saved, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell inside of us. We are NEVER alone after this point. The Holy Spirit is God, and just as much a Person Who desires an intimate...

    The Great Commission: Putting the Cart Before the Horse

    Sometimes I ask fellow Christians what it is that motivates us to spread the Gospel to others? Is it simply because it is the right thing to do? Is it because the Bible tells us to? Is it because we don't want people end up in Hell? Obviously all of those answers are true, but I truly...

    Yahweh and Yeshua: A Comparison and Contrast

    This has been a topic I've been trying to dig into a bit as I've been reading the Word lately. It can be rather confounding at times reading the way Yahweh is portrayed in the OT versus Yeshua in the NT, yet we know They are One. I thought it would be an interesting topic to explore. Does...

    Greetings and Questions

    First of all, hi everyone! I'm Jair. (unlike the judge in the Bible, my name rhymes with 'fire') I'm using the site on mobile at the moment. I understand chat on the site is not mobile friendly, but am I correct that there is an app? If so which app and how do I get it to work? Apologies if...
