sa, if you go out to the store and buy some good bananas and bring them home and then in a week they turn to bad bananas does that mean you bought bad bananas in the first place? Of course not and the same is true with God and His perfect creation. Everything He created was initially both good and perfect but because of sin or as a result of the consequence of sin they went or chose to sin or ar...more

sa, if you go out to the store and buy some good bananas and bring them home and then in a week they turn to bad bananas does that mean you bought bad bananas in the first place? Of course not and the same is true with God and His perfect creation. Everything He created was initially both good and perfect but because of sin or as a result of the consequence of sin they went or chose to sin or are imperfect as a result of sin.less

feet, there you go again trying to pervert the Word of God in order to justify people living in sin. What is being said is that loving one's neighbor is the fulfillment of the Great Commandment as opposed to loving one's neighbor takes a higher precedence than obeying God's commands. One cannot wholeheartedly love God without loving one's neighbor or obeying God's commands. But one can love the...more

One cannot wholeheartedly love God without loving one's neighbor or obeying God's commands. But one can love their neighbor without wholeheartedly loving God or obeying His commands. But Christ said if we love Him we will keep His commands.less

avet, the problem is that the murder of unborn babies is legal and 911 is used to report crimes and other emergencies.

fg, I don't know about roman catholics, but a majority of Christians I know realize as the Word of God teaches we become one with Christ the moment we are saved. Plus, I believe what the writer is saying is that we should not reject God's Truth for the sake of unity and charitable work.

feet, it could be JN won't acknowledge that because it is not true, the New Covenant is wrapped up in the First Command which is the first and foremost command according to Jesus Christ and the second command is like it, but not the same or equal according to Jesus Christ as well as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew.

cheisa, considering there is only One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church, God's Universal Church which every truly born-again believer becomes a member of the moment they are saved, the roman catholic church is a denomination just like the Southern Baptist churches, Episcopal churches and so on.

cheisa, considering there is only One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church, God's Universal Church which every truly born-again believer becomes a member of the moment they are saved, the roman catholic church is a denomination just like the Southern Baptist churches, Episcopal churches and so on. Plus, considering there is no valid scripture to support a number of the traditions and teachings of the roman catholic denomination it clearly shows they place the extra-biblical teachings of the roman catholic denomination ahead of the inerrant Word of God even though many of them contradict, violate, and/or supersede the inerrant Word of God.less

cheisa, "real deal", then surely your not talking about the roman catholic denomination which allows their false traditions and teachings to take precedence over the inerrant Word of God even though they contradict, violate, and supersede the inerrant Word of God.

chiesa, wrong as usual as you continue to spout the false views of your roman catholic denomination. The reformers were simply rejecting the extra-biblical teachings of your denomination that willfully violated, contradicted, and supereseded the inerrant Word of God. Plus, when will you learn what Sola Scriptura really means. It does not mean that the Bible is the only source of Truth, but rath...more

chiesa, wrong as usual as you continue to spout the false views of your roman catholic denomination. The reformers were simply rejecting the extra-biblical teachings of your denomination that willfully violated, contradicted, and supereseded the inerrant Word of God. Plus, when will you learn what Sola Scriptura really means. It does not mean that the Bible is the only source of Truth, but rather it is the foundation for all Truth and that anything that is presented as truth that contradicts, violates, and/or supersedes the Word of God is not truth.less

NB, the only thing he gave was his rationalization formula for discounting God's clear truths as taught in God's Word. If you don't agree with the inerrant Word of God or with a clear truth taught in God's Word simply interpret away!!

feet, it's apparent you know little of Southern Baptist Polity since two of the foundational beliefs of the Southern Baptist Convetnion are the autonomy of the local church and that we practice congregational rule in a large majority of our local churches.

kn, if that was the case then why do the represenatatives from the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines along with other commanders have a concern about repealing DADT?

NB, much of the disagreement with McLaren is based on his rejection of the inerrancy of the Word of God and his liberal interpretations of various passages. So even though what he says in this article appears to be valid when you put his comments in the context of his liberal worldview it makes complete sense why some reject his views in this article.

cheisa, there is a difference between cooperation and ecumenicalism. One allows us to remain true to our biblical beliefs while working together for a commom good such as ending abortion. And the latter encouragesw us to see the unbiblical teachings and traditions of other religions/denominations as legitimate as one's valid biblical beliefs.

feet, all one needs is biblical truth which is God's Truth in these matters!!

sm, considering it was MEN who came to Lot's house and they desired to have sexual intimacy with the two MALE visitors, how in the world can you say this doesn't refer to same-sex acts?

sm, the only problem is that God's Word clearly states that God's original and only design for marriage is that of one man and one woman and that His original and only design for sexual intimacy is that it is reserved for the marriage bed of one man and one woman.

No, people need to stop murdering unborn children!!

am, fortunately for this Pastor God does exist and if this Pastor repented of his sin and turned to God by putting his complete faith/trust in the person and finished work of Christ alone, he is standing in His glorious presence as we speak!!

knowsis, this innate knowledge of morals you speak to comes from the very God whose existence you appear to question. In Genesis both at the time of the creation of Adam and Eve and after Noah's Flood we are told that God created man in His own image.

NB, as I shared in an earlier post the four representatives of the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines are all concerned about thr repeal of DADT and all are very in favor of the study being conducted prior to this happening.
