Just curious, which part do you disagree with. That a spouse withholding sex doesn't give someone the right to give into temptation or that plenty of married people who had a great sex life still cheated? or both?

I while I agree with the premise of your post, that withholding sex opens up the door to temptation, that doesn't give either spouse the excuse to give in to temptation. Also, there have been plenty of men (and women) who had a great married sex life who still cheated. They don't cheat because...

What is the reference that someone call Mary an "ever virgin" circa 110? You may have put it in the thread somewhere but this thread is now 19 pages long so it would probably be quicker just to repost/relink the source.

Just Curious. Do you also hold the other Catholic Dogmas about Mary? the Immaculate Conception/sinless life, and Assumption?

I'm really really late to this thread but I have one question. How do you know this tradition is true? The Pharisees had their traditions that were man made and not from God. The Protestant Reformation questioned the authenticity of Roman Catholic (and to a lesser degree Orthodox) Traditions...

Yes, but those other doctrines aren't being true to Scripture, as believed by the vast majority of those who call themselves Christians. I find it remarkable that Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox all believe in the Trinitarian God. You would think that if God wasn't Trinitarian then at...

The Trinity is a mystery. However, The Bible calls the Father God, Jesus God and the Holy Spirit God and proclaims that there is one God. The only logical conclusion of the Godhead, while being true to Scripture is a Trinitarian view. The Trinity is perfect love and unity. Without the...

The spot on my lung is still there. I have a PET scan next Tuesday with an appointment to get results on Thursday. If my PET scan "lights up" as the doctor put it, I'll have a biopsy. Hopefully it will be dark, very very dark.

No, the point of a survey like this is to get a snapshot of what the general public feels on any given subject. Folks on this board are not the public at large and, while interesting, the results would be greatly skewed. The folks are on this board for a reason. They are very invested in...

I'm sure some people in every survey lie on purpose. A good pollster will take that into consideration. That is one reason surveys have a margin of error. Just curious, why do you think a large enough amount of people would lie to this survey to skew the results?

A few months ago, just after spending 5 days in the Hospital, I felt called to start keeping a scripture and prayer journal. As part of my prayer journal I write down any prayer request I see on social media (mainly Facebook) and pray for those request every night. Well, lately my facebook...

I have had three. Two when I was in the hospital for pneumonia and one a month ago when they found the "spot". They didn't use the contrast dye last time for some reason. Probably because they were looking at a specific kind of tissue. Anyway, I'm of nervous about it. There is a definite...

I have a CT scan on Thursday on my lungs. I had pneumonia back in Sept. I had a follow up CT scan a month ago and it showed some kind of spot where the pneumonia was located. The CT scan this Thursday is to look at that "spot" and see if it still there or is shrinking because it was leftover...

All polls have issues. They aren't meant to be the be all end all and nobody expects them to be 100% accurate. And your right in the fact that these polls ask people self identifying questions. The answer to those questions can be skewed due to cultural Christians who answer "I'm and...

That is a valid Criticism of "Conversion" or "Decision" theology. Which is held by most American Evangelicals. They are big on preaching the gospel with the goal of getting people to convert/come to faith. What decision theology doesn't answer, and really doesn't make an attempt to answer, is...

Yes, I'm an I.T. professional. What does that have to do with anything?

One good thing is I've noticed a trend toward putting the sinners prayer in it's proper place. Prominent Evangelical pastors and teachers are starting to question the effect the sinner's prayer is having on Christianity. If you are interested look up David Platt on the Sinners Prayer on...

From the site: A demographically balanced online panel was used for interviewing American adults. 3002 surveys were completed March 10-18, 2020. The sample provides 95% confidence that the sampling error from the online panel does not exceed ±2.0%. Margins of error are higher when filters are...

I'm late to this thread because I just joined a few days ago. If the tract in question is the one I think it is then there is something that folks who are not American Evangelical need to understand. When an American Evangelical says "Saved" it has a large meaning that would probably be...
