Christianity Board Statement of Faith Updated February 25, 2025 Introduction Christianity Board (CyB) acknowledges that the nature of a forum community dictates that its members will hold a diverse range of beliefs within the Christian faith. In addition to this, we recognize that all...

I think this would explain most of it: Mark 10:7-8 ESV Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh.

The Barrd has already provided one location. The problem is that you discount anything outside of the gospels, and I strongly suspect anything that can be gleaned from the gospels that would disagree with you would also be thrown out. The NT is full of passages like Titus 2:12-13, but again...

Bingo. Joyful, how exactly is Jesus Savior if he is not fully God and fully man? Is he a super human? Is he just the only guy to listen well enough to God? IE: Would you, at least hypothetically, be able to obtain Savior status if you listened to God well enough?

Here's a link: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2015/august-web-only/southern-baptists-will-cut-800-missionaries-imb-david-platt.html?start=2 The good news is that they're still turning people away from being missionaries abroad, meaning that there are stills ways and hope. The bad news is...

And you say that elsewhere as well. I do not discount your sincerity of belief, but you also have spent considerable time explaining that certain passages are not to be heeded because of a very narrow and literal interpretation on your part as to what the words of Jesus are. These seem to be...

There is no irony. The Bible is clear on the nature of the triune God. The logic required to subordinate Jesus as a non-deity (or quasi-deity) was rightly declared heretical long ago and for good reason because it opened the door to numerous other heresies, which are often cloaked in deliberate...

Then I am not sure you even understand why you need Jesus. We are condemned without Christ, and that absolutely requires that God must pass judgment at some point. Your theology is born of a relativist framework where you repeatedly chastise others for having opinions, yet your own opinions and...

It's only at one site, the location of which is an old facility (Parchin) monitored by intelligence services. It's already been scrubbed by Iranian forces. http://www.vox.com/2015/8/20/9182185/ap-iran-inspections-parchin The problem is that the media often doesn't have the expertise to...

I honestly worry about too much obsession with this topic and its relationship to prophecy, but for me the most poignant example of UFOs in the Bible would be Ezekiel 1. The passage effectively describes God and his archangels as being conveyed in a manner where they do not need to turn to...

Locke was a Christian Deist in the Jeffersonian sense that he held to the moral dimension of Jesus, but would discount the supernatural side and likely deny the divinity/deity of Jesus. This thought pattern is probably best illustrated by Thomas Jefferson's Bible which basically excised all of...

I personally like Dr. Mohler's preaching outside of the strident Calvinism that seems to bubble up from time to time. One of the positives coming from guys like him is a renewal of focus on doctrine and on knowing your reason(s) for what you believe. I will say that's one thing about the vast...

Acts 2:3-4 And tongues, like flames of fire that were divided, appeared to them and rested on each one of them. Then they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different languages, as the Spirit gave them ability for speech. Prompting Peter to include this: Acts 2:15 For...

My church regularly lays hands on and prays over members. My wife was healed at such an event where the entire church prayed over her and there is no other medical explanation available for it. She is not alone, as we've had other testimonials as well. We also have several members who I would...

Welcome Michael! I do not know how I missed your post, but a belated welcome is in order at least! :)

Cardinal, part of getting out of this will be first to take it to Jesus in prayer and confession, but your very next step needs to be to find someone you trust to confess this to and to help you get away from it! In all of my experiences with addiction, it doesn't go away on its own. By that, I...

Hey look, I updated my status!

There are numerous references in the Bible, literally from Genesis to Revelation, dealing with prophets, priests, and others falling on to their faces in experiencing the power and glory of the Lord. To me, to discount every single instance of this is going too far. Charlatans abound, but why...
