    Chris Pratt - MTV Award speech: Courageous?

    ============================================================================================== MennoSota (Post #11): I trust that I am not being accused of breaching any CH posting rule. Therefore the reaction to my posting style must be somehow personal. So I must ask: Is it the dividing...

    Who was Melchizedek?

    ============================================================================================== Post #19, Arsenios: Are Christians in the Order of Melchidezek? It is a good question.

    Who was Melchizedek?

    ============================================================================================== Post #16, Arsenios: You have a decent nose, but my question was more personal... And thank-you for finally, you dog!, getting around to a reply... I was getting worried I might have said something...

    Chris Pratt - MTV Award speech: Courageous?

    ============================================================================================== You are imperfect. You always will be. But, there is a powerful force that designed you that way. Really? For some reason, I thought man was originally made in God's image. But what would I know...

    Who was Melchizedek?

    ============================================================================================== Post #3, jsimms435: Is this a preincarnate Christ as some have said? It would seem not. Jesus’ priesthood is said to resemble that of Melchizedek. (Psalms 91 in Post #5 points that out.) Jesus’...

    Discussion of a Foundational "Evangelical" Teaching

    ============================================================================================== In Post #77, with reference to the idea that the “saved” have been preselected by God and will be saved no matter what, and that they have no say in the matter, I asked a couple of questions (one of...

    The Sinners Prayer

    ============================================================================================== Why don’t we simply use the form of the “sinner’s prayer” that was used by the Apostolic Church? Or would that be too radical...

    Justification - Part 2

    Post #136 (Lämmchen): Actually, David stated that he would join his son in the grave – in the assurance that they would both be brought back to life from the grave by resurrection at some time in the future – as God had revealed within the Holy Writings that He had entrusted to the nation of...

    Justification - Part 2

    Post #322 (Josiah): Abraham BELIEVED (faith being "the free gift of God") THEN acted according to that faith, with the life he now had, directed by the Holy Spirit which he now had. I request of Josiah that he direct us to the Scripture which tells us that: - Abraham's belief (faith) was a...
