In truth the issue isn't one can answer without looking into the culture of the time when it comes to this issue. Cremation was not something practiced by in general by those who wrote the scriptures. It may have had nothing to do with right and wrong. And for them the issue came down to...

I would only say sometimes there is no wisdom in arguing with someone who is just trying to cause strife and division in your faith. I find it better to judge the intent of their questions. If they seem to want an open and honest discussion cause they are trying to understand, answer. If the...

I don't have a single favorite for this, just too many good ones. When I was a teen My favorite band was "One Bad Pig", more of a punk band but they did a number with Johnny Cash called "Man in Black". Petra of course was another favorite. Third Day's status as a great band is indisputable...

And the fact that things are going downhill morality wise surprises you? Really? Have you not read the Bible where it talks about the end times? :P Seriously though Societies change, this happens. Still can be argued that there were times in history before where things were worse. We don't...

At&t is the best carrier around my parts. I've tried the rest and there were massive holes in their networks. Verizons especially. you MIGHT be able to get a call outside somewhere but walk in a building and it went away. Since I went to ATT I haven't found a place where it doesn't work...

I've prayed the same thing.

I love quotes. Here are my top 3 favorites. Everybody has a right to be stupid, but some people abuse the privilege. Joseph Stalin "Please remember this: that God spoke to Balaam through his ass, and He has been speaking through asses ever since. So, if God should choose to speak through you...

I believe God blesses the tither, but that blessing may not always be wealth. I don't believe you can tithe and claim what you want in return, giving to get is not really giving from the heart. It's seeking it's reward here on earth. I think if you give out of an overflow of your heart you...

I got the same exact one from TillmanCT as the first post in this thread. Googled that name out of curiosity and found similar posts on other christian boards.

No you misunderstand. your statement is a contradiction. A lie cannot glorify god. If your saying tattoo is a sin, then no matter its context, it's still a sin. For me, when contradiction in someone's statement occurs, I have a hard time listening to the argument. But that's not what you...

I always find it funny that people take one law from the old testament and build a judgmental platform on it. Here's something to think about. When Paul talked to a group of christians that were looking to get circumcised he essentially told them that if your going to follow that one law like...

There are things in life that can overtake us without any notice. Sometimes being able to pay the bills gets to be impossible. I lost the ability to work due to a disease I've had my whole live, but finally degraded. In the end we went 6 months without a red cent. My short term disability...

I am not sure that you want to use XP. If your looking for cheap software you should consider Linux, something like Ubuntu will do all the basics your looking for and can use free office software that is compatible with MS Office formats. Open Office is even available for Windows so consider...

lol wondered that myself. Don't have access either.

Those verses in 1 cor 13:4-8 give a pretty detailed idea of what love is. It's not all encompassing but it doesn't just say "Love" and leave it at that. Some things it says are roughly Love is longsuffering. Love is kind Love does not envy Love does not boast in ones self. Love is not puffed...
