I wonder how many people become "New Creations in Christ" or are many only "New Americans, Australians or New Zealanders in Christ"?

Double post.

So, am I mistaken to think that this is a Christian forum or only a forum for Americans who believe that whatever their country does in right? You may have failed to observe that I am also critiquing NATO and Australian foreign policies and as a Christian whose looking at a broader picture and...

That's a really good question! As the various failed policies of the US (along with NATO) have probably set the future for the Middle East in concrete, where it is heading straight for Armageddon, then there is probably little that even the Russian Federation with its well chosen and...

Exactly so, which was the point that I was making in my paragraph 2 with my reference to Armageddon. Of course, we all would like to think that someone else is the bad-guy where our national interests would have each of us thinking that we are the good-guys, but in God's economy I suspect that...

The deception that you speak of began with the phoney threat of the Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction which is something that I fell for hook, line and sinker; as the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. I recall listening to the US head of the investigation committee who said that there was...

As ISIL was a creature that came about due to the failed US (and NATO) intervention beginning in Iraq with the phoney threat of the Weapons of Mass Destruction, this has allowed the Muslims to justify their actions against the West. As the US first trained the Taliban in Afghanistan to fight...

From the many news reports that I am seeing, we now have the UK paying for a massive steel fence at Calais to keep the "refugees" out and Hungary is building a wall with Serbia so that they can keep them out as well. The Syrian crisis, along with the crisis in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya has...

Wow . . . how the world has changed over the past few decades. To be honest, I sort of miss being able to call the Russkies the "bad-boys" where we were supposed to be a part of the "good-guys"; now we have the new Russian Federation standing up as about the only rational world power where both...

As an Australian Christian I am certainly thankful that the Russian Federation has decided to intervene into Syria; hopefully they can salvage the mess that the US (along with NATO and even Australia) has created, though it may be too late to repair the damage that we have created in that part...

In the chart that MC produced, if you look at the <Eliminate Last Placed Candidate>, they remove the candidates who did not get enough votes and redistribute the "preference" votes to those two or three who got enough votes. So the chap with the most votes (1st), may not necessarily win as the...

What you've said is much the same that we were told by a bakery owner in Strasburg just south of Lancaster PA, where he said, "Even though there is almost a Starbucks on every block in the US, most Americans seem to hate their coffee but we go there because its a cultural thing". Being a...

For those who are looking for a reasonably indepth look into the question of healing etc, even though I have never read Craig Keener's two volume book titled, Miracles: The Credibility of the New Testament Accounts (2011), from the various reviews that I have seen it has apparently gained a lot...

I wonder if New Zealand will be the first country to eventually allow people to marry sheep?

You could be right but the current onslaught of refugees from the Middle East seems to be making things a bit dicey for those who might choose to travel by train across Europe. Other than with ever present pick-pockets in the main tourist regions, I would imagine that the refugee crisis would...

At the risk of throwing in the proverbial spanner, I will have to confess that Australians tend to lean more toward Canada than we do with the USA, who knows, this could be due to us knowing more Americans than we do Canadians? I remember seeing an Australian documentary on a major Canadian snow...

I feel that no matter how great a place may be that when we experience this without a wife/husband or even a good friend, that a solo trip can become way too quiet where we lose out on experiencing Creation with another. When we went to Canada and the USA recently, we were more than content to...

Even though I agree with your sentiments, where I was thinking much the same thing when I first saw this thread, the concept does help us to better understand the terminology that is frequently found within Christian circles. For those abbreviations that have multiple meanings, such as with...

Even though I hold a number of contemporary commentators in high regard, I would have to say that Gordon D. Fee (AoG) and Anthony C. Thiselton (Anglican) are currently at the top of my appreciation list.

I'm not sure that it is possible to be both charismatic and Pentecostal as the two are not the same. A Pentecostal is someone who belongs to a denomination that was established along Full Gospel lines (i.e., AoG) whereas a charismatic is someone who adheres to the general tenants of the Full...
