    Sorta like being here on Christianity Haven. ;)

    Non denominational

    :D Good one! But you know that "evangelical" means Gospel-centered, so all kinds of churches claim the term. There's the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, for example, or the Quaker body, Evangelical Friends Church International, neither of which is anything like the churches you are...

    Non denominational

    another term that's almost impossible to pin down without adding a lot of exceptions. :confused:

    Should Christians burn books?

    That's the impression I got, too.

    Non denominational

    No. The issue is tricky because there are so many uses of the term, and there is no set of doctrines unfailingly associated with any "non-denominational" church or individual. The main reason that non-denominational churches/congregations are called by that title is that they don't owe...

    Should Christians burn books?

    I didn't know that there'd been "a lot of talk about book burning in the news," so I went online and it seems that various media outlets have made a lot out of the doings of a single fundamentalist pastor and his book burning stunt. As reported, he said “I ain’t gonna be suiciding myself no...

    How do you deal with distractions in church?

    I try to ignore it, but none have ever been as bad as what I've been reading about here.

    USA What if Donald Trump is indicted by a Democrat prosecutor?

    In fact, each of these attempts to get him have resulted in his support level going higher. That seems to be because it is natural to support someone who's been treated wrongly, even if you were neutral or lukewarm towards that person previously. It becomes a moral issue that challenges us to...

    Love at first sight

    I think it happens. Probably not nearly as often as people say, but sometimes. However, it's inexplicable, and love also can grow or wane, so there's no point in trying to evaluate any particular claims of "love at first sight."

    USA What if Donald Trump is indicted by a Democrat prosecutor?

    That's worth mentioning. If Trump were to step aside, the conclusion that those people would reach would certainly be that their election interference had worked. Then the same strategy would be employed against the next Republican candidate. A companion gameplan has been followed faithfully...

    Does God help people through other religions?

    There's no reason to conclude that any "supernatural entitles" intervened in this case. It was the man's mother-in-law who urged him to see the doctor and advised him that his condition was very serious, etc. If she got the idea from religious leaders of her own religion, that proves nothing...

    USA What if Donald Trump is indicted by a Democrat prosecutor?

    Good question, but I cannot imagine how doing that would help him. Someone might suggest that a deal in which he'd step out of the race in exchange for a dropping of the charges would be satisfying to both sides. The problem with that deal is that his enemies have a long list of charges just...

    House Guests

    You're reminding me of an old jingle that was based on a Pepsi-cola commercial-- Christianity hits the spot Twelve Apostles, that's a lot Holy Ghost and the Virgin, too. Christianity's the one for you. (Pepsi-Cola hits the spot Twelve full ounces, that's a lot! Twice as much for a nickel...

    House Guests

    Yes, it would be considerate and fair for the guests to help out, but as was already mentioned, a lot of this depends on who the guest is. You'd probably expect your sister to offer to help in the kitchen, but you'd never think of having your employer or the pastor do the same thing. At the...

    What do you do?

    What Lamb said. I am assuming two things-- 1. this is an unusual situation for you or whoever we're talking about, not something that happens every other Saturday night. 2. You're nowhere near your own home. So, pay it and be thankful that there's any available refuge under the...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    This is a tricky issue for theologians, but the OT saints were indeed justified by his blood, and the sacrifice (of the Cross) was necessary. As we've talked about it on these forums before, these people were not sent to hell as some others were, but they were not allowed to go to heaven...

    Does answered prayer prove a theological point?

    What difference does it make that she believes in her Hindu deity? Of course she does, just as members of other religions think their deities are real and caring. The main point here is that it's not unusual or rare for a person to go to college these days. It's not as though she prayed to be...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Nobody added any words to Scripture there. And your complaint is doubly mistaken because when anyone passes from not being justified to then being justified, his status has changed! I'm pretty sure that you understand this yourself.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    I already explained it. "Now" meant to the real, live people who were being addressed by the Apostle there that the great event had occurred in their own time, not thousands of years prior. And the event was identified as well. It was not simply a thought in the mind of Almighty God eons...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    There really is nothing to the point you are laboring so hard to get across. The Scriptures teach that Christ reconciled Man and God, and this was accomplished by the sacrifice of the Cross. The key item at issue concerns when this was accomplished, not when it was planned or foreseen. But you...
