Cool. I have a few questions if you don't mind. How did you obtain it? I'd say the odds are much more likely that you bought or traded, rather than mining. Also, can you own partial bitcoins? I saw that right now, one bitcoin is worth over $9000. That's a pretty big increment if you can only...

Pretty interesting. And I agree with what you wrote there, and that has always been my fear of teaching against freewill. One big thing to note is that neuroscience's reasoning against freewill is a lot different than any theological stance against freewill. So people arguing doctrine can't...

Do you own any, though?

I think one problem is that some people think that everyone is called to do the same thing. Is everyone called to be poor for the sake of Christ? Is everyone called to fast food? The point of fasting is not to earn points or to prove something to God. Fasting is not a hunger strike to try to...

That's a great story. I'm definitely going to look that up and try to watch it. Absolutely. Another thing that helps is to remember that love is deeper than an emotion. Love is not based on feelings. If love were based on feelings, then my wife and I would love each other one day, and hate each...

That's a great concept, but it doesn't always work out in practicality. Like my church, for instance, is made up of a majority of low income people. We don't even collectively have the finances to do what you're talking about there. I wish we did. If we did, I'm sure we would have the heart to...

According to the way I see things, I don't think we need to worry about whether everyone will see it or not. His coming will be like lightening flashing from the east to the west. I think like He'll very quickly circle the earth before setting down on the Mount of Olives. Matthew 24 says that...

Peace in the world works kind of like the unity thing. It starts as a work within you, and then, even though not everyone will experience it, you can do your part to let that peace overflow into other people's lives. We have the power to help make the people around us feel peace, or feel...

A Lone Ranger philosophy... James 5:19 My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, James 5:20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. Galatians 6:2 Bear one another’s...

No, I don't think it's where He wants it to be with the division we're experiencing. There is one big difference between what you're saying and what it should be. The body is made up of many different members that do different things, but they all have one common goal, and are controlled by the...

That doesn't mean that we shouldn't do our part to promote unity, instead of causing division. Your attitude reminds me of when my kids see trash on the floor, rather than cleaning it up, they think it's ok to just throw more trash on the floor. No, we have to all work together to do our part in...

Were they Christian sites? If so, I repeat what I said in the OP. It breaks my heart to see Christians treating each other like this.

My heart in this thread was never to compromise the truth. There are certain basic tenets and truths that are the foundation of all Christianity, and every Christian denomination adheres to those truths. According to Paul, the chiefly important truth is Christ crucified. Jesus is the Son of the...

Haha. I've used that exact same example. :)

Haha. It was completely unintentional. It sure isn't my heart to promote division. I guess maybe "help to cause division" is a better way to put it. My actions may have made it seem like I cared about being right more than I cared about people. But my heart is for unity and loving people. And...

From my perspective in the US, anyway, we're living in a climate of moral decline. More and more people are walking away from God. More and more people are not just choosing to not be Christians, but they're going the extra mile and criticizing people for being Christians, and trying to prove...

The thing is, there are so many different denominations and belief systems out there, just under the umbrella of Christianity, that it's hard to find two people that completely agree on everything, even in the same local church. But the things that truly matter, we all are going to agree on, and...

Disagreements are going to come up. And I know Paul and Barnabus pretty much split up because of a disagreement over how to handle Mark. But it would be good if we could promote loving each other over everything else, and spend a significant amount of time encouraging each other and focusing on...

It breaks my heart to see the Body of Christ in the state it's in. I hate how brothers and sisters can be so bitter and hateful to one another just because of theological disagreements. Jesus said this is how the world will know we're His disciples: John 13:35 “By this all men will know that...

Thank you. Then we can disagree, yet still love each other as brothers and be part of the same family. :)
