Typically evangelizing the "lost" focuses on why Christianity is true. A convincing argument is hoped to win the day and produce a new convert. Assuming all the concerns of the prospect can be dissuaded. However, I was thinking this morning about the day-to-day benefits. The positive...

Whose side do you take when you bring accusations against the brethren? (or sistern) Revelation 12:10 NIV Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and...

In a previous topic I asked the question: Can a believer be a part of the Body of Christ without being water baptized? https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/can-a-believer-be-a-part-of-the-body-of-christ-without-being-water-baptized.67769/ Lack of response and seeming confusion caused by...

On another topic we were discussing baptisms. I think the actual subject of the topic was the evidence for the baptism with the Holy Spirit. But somehow we veered into questions about water baptism and salvation. At least one individual had strong feelings about the necessity of water baptism...

Having been raised Protestant Evangelical Christian, there was always this perspective that we had it right and those outside our mindset had it wrong. As an adult I discovered things that led me to re-evaluate that mindset. Catholics had a completely different way of approaching Christianity...

I posted a couple of topics about (supposed) OT prophecy and NT references to them. (misquoted claims) I would like to get a reaction from those more familiar with the subject. Topic links below...

This is a follow-up to the previous topic: Were messianic prophecies acquired, rather than intended? (in the original texts) https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/were-messianic-prophecies-acquired-rather-than-intended-in-the-original-texts.67180/ In the previous topic it was somewhat...

A situation at work gave me an idea for a topic. One of our supervisors doesn't like me due to a bad experience when I was working in her department. I don't work with her anymore, but she has obviously held a grudge. Which is obvious from some of her snarky comments when I do encounter her...

Did you read the Bible BEFORE you became a Christian, or AFTER? I have heard testimonies of people reading the Bible before becoming Christians. I assumed it was a rare occurrence. Someone seeking God. rather than God seeking them. Discussion. [

I recently remembered a prophecy referred to by Jesus. But I also remembered that orthodox Jews typically reject these "prophecies" saying that is not what they meant. Were some of these prophecies, or other OT quotations acquired rather than intended? Here are a couple. (we'll need to...

The corporate worship at my church is loud. (the way I like it) Other churches are much quieter. The worship is also very physical. Raised hands and swaying to the music is common. Clapping hands and shouts of hallelujah. Also quieter moments seeking to hear God's voice. Individual worship...

We recognize the one true God, creator of heaven and earth. Beside Him there should be no other. Wait, should be? Doesn't that tell us right there that there are other gods? How many and for what purposes? How many of these entities in the spiritual realm are there? In ancient times there...

We are all familiar with the first Commandment of the Ten given to Israel alone through Moses. “You shall have no other gods before [besides] me. - Exodus 20:3 NIV If there were other gods to have, that means there were other gods. Right? Therefore the Bible is making a polytheistic claim...

I encountered a couple this week. The man was wearing a Got Jesus? T-shirt. My wife and I had just been to a Rend Collective Christmas concert the night before. So I asked the man if he had heard of the Rend Collective. He said, "No." I pointed to his Got Jesus T-shirt as an explanation for why...
