    Outside the church there is no Salvation ( discussion)

    How would this relate to those who maybe pick up a Gideon's Bible in a hotel, where they read the Gospel for the first time and are savvy enough to repent and confess Christ as their Saviour?

    Books Containing Modern Day Miracles and Supernatural Events

    You had me a bit confused for awhile where I had to figure out why you were suggesting that I was in someway "doubting the credibility of the Bible". Then the penny dropped where I realised that you may have mistook my remark that our English word 'miracle', which is not found in any Greek text...

    Is organisational unity amongst Christians desirable?

    The problem with referring to the Church in Jerusalem is that it already replaced the authority of the Twelve including that of Peter (presuming that they had any authority in the few place) with their own elders and a leader of their own choice which was James and not Peter. Once the individual...

    Russian troops in Syria

    If this is the case, and it most likely is, then the US government might lose some interest with Syria now that their companies have lost any chance of seizing Syrian oil. Though any benefit to the Russian Federation will have to be long term as the price of oil at this point of time is rather...

    Russian troops in Syria

    Why are we so interested; I would have thought that the presence of US, Russian, Chinese, Australian (and probably NATO forces in the future) would indicate that each of the self-interests of these groups will eventually collide in maybe one big bang. Will it be this year, next year or maybe in...

    Russian troops in Syria

    For the time being at least the fighter aircraft of the various Air Forces that are fighting in an around Syria seem to be on a fairly even par, but once the Russians begin to introduce their new Sukhoi PAK FA fighter (or T50), then this will change the balance of air power not only within Syria...

    Your Abbreviations Needed

    Hopefully the link to these abbreviations will only be lightly coloured as the current bold blue text for the hyperlinks are a bit distracting. It might be helpful if there could be a switch where where the OP could turn off this feature if this highlights become a bit too much in a more...

    Who identifies as Charismatic

    This would make for an interesting thread if one hasn't been started already.

    A new Prime Minister and a new Cabinet for Australia

    Now that makes sense, so Turnbull became a Roman Catholic to keep his wife and her family happy. I wonder if he would have become an atheist if his intending wife was one, though I wonder if she ever goes to church?

    Another shooting spree in the USA

    I have just come across an interesting article which talks about how there has been at least one military suicide per day amongst serving overseas troops. The report also said that at least 18 active soldiers and returned vets attempt to kill themselves each day once they have returned home...

    What antivirus program do you use?

    I use the ZoneLabs Security Suite which currently uses the Kapersky anti-virus database. Though your use of Malwarebytes is a good one which is something that I should purchase myself.

    A new Prime Minister and a new Cabinet for Australia

    Even though I agree that Abbot was probably not a Born Again Christian, he did appear to support Christian values where I must admit that I did not know that Turnbull even had any Church affilliations - so I have learnt something new. From what I can from Turnbulls comments over the years, he...

    Another shooting spree in the USA

    Your spot on in that "the real source of the difficulty in the USA is cultural". Due to the complex nature of life in the USA (and its culture of deciding who is right through might), then if the general population were to have their guns removed (which will never happen), then the violent and...

    Should Australia back the Russians & not the USA in Syria?

    Even though I am pleased to see the intervention by the Russian Federation into Syria, I do have some grave concerns that as the US & NATO have been trying to undermine the new Russian Federation as they see then as a threat to their business interests, what will happen when Putin leaves his...

    Right to Assault Rifle's

    If the US was ever to ban the private ownership of guns (which will never happen), this does not mean that the criminal element will be unable to obtain guns. Last week here in Melbourne (Australia), our police stated that they have seized upwards of 200 shotguns that were made from cheap...

    Right to Assault Rifle's

    I was scrolling through to see if anyone had asked this question - and so far there has been no reply!

    A new Prime Minister and a new Cabinet for Australia

    Yes, we have removed a Christian leader for that of a very wordly and carnal leader! Sadly, this is our fifth change in five years, which says a lot about our politics and maybe even a lot about us as well.

    Another shooting spree in the USA

    I can understand that from an Australian perspective that the saying that "Guns do not kill people but guns do" can seem odd to us, but surprisingly it is true which is why I now support the private ownership of guns in the USA, along with the right to open-carry sidearms. As the history of the...

    Russian troops in Syria

    Actually the Russians have clearly stated that they are there to defeat all the various rebel/terrorist groups and not just ISIS. As the only hope that Syria has is to ensure that the Syrian (Assad) Government remains in power then we need to combat all of the terrorist forces in Syria. What...

    Should Australia back the Russians & not the USA in Syria?

    Having once been a "CNN bunny" where I was more than happy to believe any news article that supported my Western mindset; as I have had a few more years to reconsider what has been happening around me, I can now be thankful that we can easily source information from numerous sources and not only...
