    The problem with "Christian" music today

    They are silly IMO Truth is I was temporarily acting somewhat the same way so I don't label it short of anything but the Holy Spirit. I certainly believe that even you Albion could one day have an experience that was so self humiliating that other people saw you as 'drunk' when you were simply...

    Salvation - Part 2

    The Catholic church was hardly ever persecuted. The Catholic church did most of the persecution of bible thumpers. That was the past, and you are orthodox so after the counsel of Nicaea you would have nothing to do with it historically. Heck even Luther encouraged violence in those days... so...

    The problem with "Christian" music today

    Tithing is one of the reasons too... A big reason. Wealth salvation just cuts the chord short for me. Recently here at the local Catholic church they have been telling my parents to hook up their bank account to theirs and drop in 10% automatically. My parents both recently retired as my mom was...

    The problem with "Christian" music today

    I wouldn't believe it for a minute. I have to know them to tell by their fruits. Mega churches or any church that hits mainstream media airwaves I simply can't identify with, there are people who try and get the best angles and there is sound editing plus focusing on certain individuals...

    The problem with "Christian" music today

    Because I know them (local pastor and preachers) personally and I can tell by their fruits... the members were never glassy eyed, a few may wave their arms, I saw one lady lay down one time... you are definitely not referring to my local church :) I see the same holiness in the majority of...

    The problem with "Christian" music today

    Like mumble rap? That would get this generations attention lol I get what you are saying I think. Take a great well respected hymn or even a few versus of plasms, add music to it and a fair vocal melody, anything's possible... Remember Schoolhouse Rock? Great method

    Salvation - Part 2

    And hey lol I forgot what thread this was... Oh yeah... Salvation along with the works that follow are equally granted to us by Gods will, he doesn't give salvation and not put the Spirit of good works in you, and he doesn't give you the Spirit of good works without Salvation... packaged deal.

    Salvation - Part 2

    There is nothing wrong with a song that says "Holy" 75 times in a row, I find it easy to sing along with, at least I can close my eyes meditate so-to-speak and certain key words that are popular in Christian music are comforting to say. When I feel I am lacking faith because I overthink and...

    The problem with "Christian" music today

    It's embarrassing to invite a guest to a church and the first sermon they receive is about tithing :( I brought a friend to the pentecostal church and the first preacher was talking about a brotherhood, and he said he said that he was in one, where they called themselves the brotherhood because...

    Salvation - Part 2

    Sounds like since we are preselected our role is to sit and look pretty. Predestination: God loves me, God loves me not, God loves me, God loves me not, God loves me, God loves me not. Exactly, it's not "I came to call only my preselected chosen, duck duck goose you're it!".

    ACTS 18 UNTO THE GENTILES

    I believe he meant it. "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee" -Revelation 3:9

    Hey I like that. Now I'm going to interpret (one of my many special gifts) the tongue "yagottawalkthetalk" and here it goes.. "You can talk the talk but do you walk with God?" Are we not disciples -learners- of the Word of God? God reveals and God conceals, we can never expect to know it all...

    Obviously you can claim to have faith until you are blue in the face but you have no charity to offer then you don't have a lick of faith in you. Again we can argue back and forth as a community and debate on and on but we can't see into each others hearts, only God can. Catholics promote works...

    A Short Story: by DHoffmann --------- Meet Joe, Joe has faith Joe used to avoid homeless people when he would pass by them but now his new found faith in Christ has done something interesting to him, Joe knows that he can offer a homeless man his jacket and bring him some warm soup from the...

    Salvation - Part 2

    We have two great commandments that hold the law of the prophets, it should not be taken lightly, not everyone who says "Lord Lord" will enter the kingdom, faith brings forth good works, without good works you have dead faith/no faith. Again... Faith brings forth good works (good works imo...
