    The dangers of religiosity.

    Not at all. I'll throw this out there, though: A person who is truly passionate about God is eager to learn from scripture and to compare and examine interpretations from others, for their desire is to know how to be pleasing the Lord and how to serve Him better.

    Home church

    The ideal church would be a church that has the characteristics of the Church at Philadelphia; as listed in Revelation 3. A church MUST be Godly, adhere to scripture, promote sound scriptural doctrine, practice church discipline and be run by a pastor and board of elders who meet the...

    Does God mind if idols of 'saints' are worshipped in church?

    And if you are loving them, you are certainly not killing them, stealing from them, coveting their possessions, etc.

    Cross Dressing

    I'd imagine there's a difference in going out in drag as a party costume or in a comedic setting vs adopting transvestism as a lifestyle. And then there's "transgenderism" to confuse things even more. (As a side note: transvestite is from the Latin roots 'trans' = cross and 'vestis' = clothes.)

    Is Cross Dressing good in a Caesar salad?

    To Hell and Back - Visiting Gehenna

    You are correct-- they don't bother me in the least. Who am I to have the preposterously unmitigated  gall to presume to sit in judgment on the Lord? Q

    To Hell and Back - Visiting Gehenna

    So then you dont believe God: Destroyed Sodom and Gamorrah and all the people therein? Drowned Pharoah's army in the Red Sea? Struck Judah's 2 eldest children dead for their wickedness? Struck Ananaias and Sapphira dead for lying to the Holy Spirit? The list goes on, but the point is that GOD IS...

    Is cussing a sin?

    Never really understood the whole idea of cuss words. Words are just sounds given a particular meaning. What is the difference then between darn and damn, for instance? Both essentially mean the same thing yet one is considered foul. If you really get down to it, it's not the word that's the...

    I say to you today, [comma] you will be with Me in Paradise

    I'd go with the comma after. Christ is declaring that He is making a statement right now. Saying that the thief would be with Him in paradise today is false, as Christ would not be in paradise on that particular day -- He would be occupying a tomb awaiting resurrection and our Lord does not lie.

    Is there anything that you like about Muslims?

    Decomposition, probably.

    If you think that God does not want any woman to be a pastor today, then bet on it

    Very much so. And this has absolutely nothing to do with my opinion of women or what they are capable of doing. It is purely a matter of what God has set forth in scripture.

    If you think that God does not want any woman to be a pastor today, then bet on it

    A good preacher, maybe, but definitely a bad example. A woman who becomes a preacher is going against scripture (unless she is leading an all-women church). She is putting her desires above the Lord's -- which isn't too surprising as we live in a time where arrogance, self-centeredness and lack...

    If you think that God does not want any woman to be a pastor today, then bet on it

    Wasn't me laughing. I just liked the post.

    If you think that God does not want any woman to be a pastor today, then bet on it

    I'll bet the house, the farm and every penny I have that women pastors go against scripture. 1 Timothy 3:2-7 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle...

    If you think that God does not want any woman to be a pastor today, then bet on it

    Not only that, but the churches who allow it are also in disobedience and should be avoided.

    When were angels created?

    Angels were created before the earth, but after the Yankees (at least according to Yankees fans)

    Did God the Father or Jesus create angels

    John 1:1-3 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. Jesus is the Word made flesh so, per vs 3, all things were made through Christ...

    Can a Believer Loose Their Salvation?

    And this is because in doing so they have committed the one unpardonable sin: blaspheming the Holy Spirit. You see, the Holy Spirit testifies about Christ and the fact that He is God's Son. In Scripture, the Pharisees blasphemed the Holy Spirit by rejecting His testimony by attributing the...

    Where was Adam when the serpent was talking with Eve?

    Absolutely spot on.

    Where was Adam when the serpent was talking with Eve?

    Man that's harsh. Throwing Eve under the bus several thousand years before busses were even invented.
