    Who IS and IS NOT a Christian?

    Maybe God has redeemed them and the fact that they post as a Christian is their testimony to the redemption that they believe they have received from God and that is the significant matter in CH when replying to their posts treat them as Christian even when disagreeing with their stated...

    But we (meaning us today) like to read Jesus' speech and apply the promise of another helper to ourselves. It's an important part of Christian belief to think that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to indwell us all (meaning the community). The speech is long, it starts in chapter 14 and goes to...

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    I think I'd like Australia to be a republic. But we'd only want an appointed President who has no executive powers. All we need is a head of state to smile at and greet foreigners have an occasional garden party and open things like parks and roads and buildings.

    Non denominational churches

    The NASB & ESV are popular among evangelicals and so is the NKJV while NRSV and some others are popular in the older larger protestant denominations. Everybody has their preference each denominations has its preference. John MacArthur's "Grace to You" group likes the NKJV. Some of the...

    Our Posting at CH

    What's the point in reporting an offensive post - there are so many of them in some threads - if all that can reasonably be done is either lock the thread, remove the offensive posts, or admonish the poster? If people cannot restrain their baser instincts to write offensive things then there's...

    Non denominational churches

    The KJV translators were ordered to retain the "church words" by the king (James I of England), it was part of the translators "royal license". So the KJV has "bishop" and "church" and other church-words while the NASB has evangelical words like "overseer". For example: [1 Timothy 3:1 NASB] It...

    Non denominational churches

    Catholics in the USA use the New American Bible (a Catholic translation whose copyright is owned by the US Council of Catholic Bishops). The Jerusalem bible is what Catholics in the UK and Australia and a lot of other countries use for the liturgy (but the liturgy removes "Yahweh" and uses "the...

    Non denominational churches

    People distance themselves from other people's sins all the time. That is the heart of human hypocrisy isn't it? Pretend that "we" are not like "them" because "they" did such horrible things and "we" didn't. But as soon as "we" are exposed as having very wicked people in our midst "we" distance...

    Non denominational churches

    I don't think it is right to say that any bible is not denominational. The KJV is Anglican in emphasis. The NIV is evangelical. Catholic bibles are Catholic in tone. Every bible has its biases. And besides that there is the fact that even the bible's authors had a perspective. Think of how the...

    It ought not be forgotten that both the Jones Town massacre and Waco Branch Davidian killings were non-denominational (or new denominational) scandals of sexual exploitation and mass killing.

    Non denominational churches

    sexual exploitation of children and women is very wicked and also common enough in Baptist and non-denominational churches to make the headlines frequently. Isn't the current political scandal centred around a self-proclaimed champion of evangelical Christianity who is a candidate for the...

    Non denominational churches

    The generic "Christian" more often than not means a person who is fundamentally a baptist but refuses denominational labels. "Christian" is every bit as likely to invoke stereotypes as "Baptist" would.
