I know that more posts appear in the "Christians only" part of this site, and I understand why that is so, and I understand why non-trinitarians who like to discuss matters that are not directly related to the doctrine of the Trinity may want to participate in such threads in the "Christians...

What do you think of this video, it is from DW 24 hour english language news.

An interesting documentary

CHURCH is the name given the "convocation" or "assembly" of the People God has called together from "the ends of the earth." In Christian usage, the word "Church" has three inseparable meanings: the People that God gathers in the whole world; the particular or local church (diocese); and the...

I know it is hard to be sure, and some say it is kind of tempting God to affirm one's assurance of one's own election, but I want to know if any of the Calvinists on CH thinks that they may not be among the elect?

Since @1689Dave seems to be out of the Trinitarian forums, I thought I'd create a thread here for the never ending debate on atonement theories.

It is notoriously difficult to gain converts to Christ in cultures that have a well defined and attractive afterlife teaching in their religions. Examples are Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and some others. If this observation is correct then can Christians seriously propose that the Holy...

I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images. (Isa 42:8 ASV) Albert Barnes writes: This is an interesting passage. If taken by itself without any reference to the new testament it would be fairly consistent with a whole host of...

Many Christians are familiar with the religion known as Jehovah's witnesses and a good number of Christians have heard members of Jehovah's witnesses say that God's name is Jehovah and that it is important to know it and use it in prayer and when speaking about "the truth". So, does God have a...

In the New Testament, the word basileia can be translated as "kingship" (abstract noun), "kingdom" (concrete noun) or "reign" (action noun). the Kingdom of God lies ahead of us. It is brought near in the Word incarnate, it is proclaimed throughout the whole Gospel, and it has come in Christ's...

This gospel was recorded around 2,009 years after the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ by somebody who didn't see any of it - obviously - and just decided to record his impressions of what the four canonical gospels and other canonical holy scripture says on the topic of free will, heaven, hell...

I watched a video that I think is interesting and worth discussing. It deals with faults that may be real or imagined and their manipulation within psychology and religion and it deals with biases that may be either real of imagined and their use within the work place and other settings where...

Atheists. I posted some video clips from YouTube produced by an atheist chap from Australia. They are interesting. Suggestive of how a knowledgeable atheist might see various passages in the bible. And one must admit that some passages in the bible are scary :scared: Some recommend horrible...

One frequent poster in Ch urges me to read things in context. So here's another chap urging contextual reading too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK7P7uZFf5o :smirk:

This is an interesting take on the gospel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mLOUWl-L-s

Here's a video that was amusing ... somewhat atheist too beware the occasional naughty word. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_BzWUuZN5w

Luke 21: 36 Be watchful and pray constantly, that you may be worthy to stand before the Son of Man.

Salvation Salvation is not so easy to define. Some think of it as a kind of transaction where the sinner exercises faith in Jesus Christ and God forgives their sins and saves them. A done deal, all finished at the cross. Some think of salvation is a quest of sorts where the sinner repents and...

Is poverty not the worst form of violence? Because it happens by the exploitation of one by another even if the exploitation is accomplished without the knowledge of the one exploiting others. This is better understood from the perspective where everyone is a child of the same God but here on...

I did a little bit of checking and discovered that the only places that ten commandments are mentioned are: Exodus 34:28 Deuteronomy 4:13 Deuteronomy 10:4 The commandments given in Exodus 34 are different Exodus 34:10-28 10 And he said, Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I...
