    Celebrating Advent

    Blue? Must be a liberal denomination. ;) ;)

    The Last Supper

    Hi, Bill. I do reject the idea of Transubstantiation and some of the other mystical folklore that the Roman Catholic Church has attached to the sacrament. However, there's a lot that's in between Transubstantiation and pure symbolism (which wouldn't negate the remembrance aspect). Not even...

    Completely legalizing marijuana

    That's probably correct to say, but only with reference to people who take it for medicinal purposes. These people represent only a small percentage of MJ users in states where it's legalized as a recreational drug.

    The Last Supper

    I take it, therefore, that you see the Chrisitan sacrament (the Lord's Supper) to be correctly understood as mere symbolism.

    Christians should not hate skin colors

    I'm sorry, but now you're contradicting yourself on a number of the matters we've been discussing.

    Christians should not hate skin colors

    You only "count" the verses that you interpret your own way. The most explicit of the verses in question rebuts your theory. Recognized by his closest followers, that is. And what do you think that him meeting with them and dining with them and telling John exactly who he was would do other...

    Christians should not hate skin colors

    The scriptural record refutes that theory. But they do not contradict the one verse that is most specific.

    Israel/Palestinian conflict

    What you claimed, however, was that Israel was comparable to Nazi Germany when it comes to racism. The facts say otherwise, and you virtually admit that when you post such an anemic response as you did here.

    Christians should not hate skin colors

    Then how do you account for them not being able to recognize him while they walked together for miles and miles? And what do you think "glorified" means, if it does not allow for any change in appearance? All right. In that case we are confronted with the word of God in Mark 16 saying with more...

    Israel/Palestinian conflict

    False analogy. Israel does not aspire to have an ONLY JEWS ALLOWED nation. Arabs have been living there since the establishment of the State of Israel and are even represented in the government. In fact, in recent years, the "United Arab List" (party) has been said to hold the balance of power...

    Christians should not hate skin colors

    Based upon this reply, I am of the opinion that you are making too much of almost nothing. Christ clearly appeared different to some of these people, and in at least one verse where the matter is spelled out (Mark 16:12) there is no question but that he had a different look. But on the bigger...

    Christians should not hate skin colors

    In other words, you don't care for what the Bible has to say about this. There is certainly nothing deceptive about Mark 16:12, nor did any "cherry picking" take place. 9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast...

    Well then, that proves what we've been trying to tell you. :rolleyes:

    Christians should not hate skin colors

    Well, it was not because their eyes were affected but because Christ's image had changed. You apparently think this amounts to the same thing, but it doesn't. That's right. It was the same body but glorified.

    Christians should not hate skin colors

    Because we understand Scripture better than you do? While it might be possible to take that meaning from the verse you referred to, Bible authorities point out that it's an expression that doesn't mean there was anything wrong with their eyes but rather that they were kept from recognizing...

    Too old to be president

    Obviously not, since it's not merely because of the number of years each man has been alive. I believe that both Democrats and Republicans know that the real issue is the mental and physical ability of the person to perform the duties required of a president. Can you even imagine Biden making...

    Christians should not hate skin colors

    Well, it was the same body, but it was sufficiently glorified that neither John nor the two disciples who had earlier walked with Jesus for miles on the road to Emmaus could recognize their Lord right away. His body obviously had been changed.

    Virgin Mary statue crying

    ...and it is often the case that the clergy, knowing the truth about some alleged Marian miracle, nevertheless look favorably on Catholic laypersons reverencing and believing in those things. They think that devotion to the Virgin Mary is good and appropriate, so they won't make an issue about...

    Original Sin

    We have heard your theory. But it isn't in accord with what almost every Christian church believes and teaches, nor is it in accord with the Bible. So, what exactly would be the basis for any further discussion??

    Forum Questions

    I agree that religion should provide the most common topics discussed on "Christianity Haven," and that it's most likely the main area of interest for any non-member who discovers this site.
