    Infant Baptism

    The only argument to be made, falsely, is the continuation of old covenant and circumcision. I agree that it can't hurt but I do believe credobaptism is about obedience and Biblical.

    What Does Your Username Mean?

    Brand of fountain pens I like.

    Why was Mary necessary?

    Alithis I'd be really interested in seeing your Scriptural and only Scriptural evidence to support that Christ was not both God and man whilst on Earth. I know you're big on gifts and I can't think of your reasoning as anything other than a means to your own end that Christ was given gifts and...

    False teachers

    This assumes that the KJV isn't inaccurate. Wrongfully assumes, might I add.

    USA Who Poses the Biggest Threat to the USA

    It's not an "Obama did it" situation. ISIS is the result of a decade of instability, war, tens/hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties and power vacuums left by the West. Is it really that surprising that ideologies united under a common denominator that then try and fill said vacuums...

    Speaking in tongues?

    What's to add to assertions that can't be backed up with Scripture that isn't loosely applied to say what the person wants it to say?

    Speaking in tongues?

    Indeed. Second-hand, yes, but far more believable than anything like we see as commonplace amongst a lot of the Charismatics.

    Speaking in tongues?

    Well, wasn't that their primary purpose? What's the point in tongues today if it isn't to witness to unbelievers and spread the gospel? What use is it if it's only a party trick to those that claim to have it too? Sounds like a lot of back-patting and not a lot of practical application...

    should minors be tried as adults

    I'm not saying it's 'just fine'... But they're a child. There have been people raped and left for dead that have forgiven the person on death row. As Christians we're expected to forgive. If we can't forgive someone with limited mental capacity to discern right from wrong to the extent than an...

    Greece Votes No On Bailout

    That's awfully... far-fetched. It's like the argument about 'people coming to get mah guns'. It'd be an undertaking involving hundreds of thousands at the very least in a country of 300 million. It's not like people wouldn't find out immediately and put a stop to it.

    Speaking in tongues?

    To whom do you spread the gospel with this tongues?

    should minors be tried as adults

    That's justice to you? No wonder recidivism is so high in the U.S. if rehabilitation is sidelined by punishment... even for children!

    Is eating meat ethical?

    Genesis 1:28 covers it;

    Speaking in tongues?

    Hey Alithis -- Since you've got this whole asking and getting part down, can you ask for the gift of healing please? I have numerous family members that would benefit from that and convert instantly. Plus the millions of people dying each year to preventable illnesses. You could go to Africa...

    Greece Votes No On Bailout

    Greece just needs to grow a backbone and leave. They're victims of the world's largest and most expensive Ponzi scheme right now.
