Is this the place where you can find real Christianity?

Phil — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 10:34:08 GMT

As opposed to modern western Christianity, which is anything but Christian these days. If I find one more Christian group that is only willing to "pray" for you and will be your friend if you're white, "normal", muscular/athletic and rich, I will create a time machine and go back 1500 years in time and beat up Constantine.

A bible that speaks American (street) English

kanch_bud — Thu, 09 Jun 2005 03:41:05 GMT

Instead of "Amen":

"Yes!"

http://bible.gospelcom.net/passage/?book_id=47&chapter=5&version=65

This is the first time I have read Jesus' famous Sermon and actually "got it". No fusty old-timer English here. Nice and clear and poetic translation.

Warm regards,

Paul Bard.

Can anyone out there help me find some insight into the subject of "suicide" from within the Bible that I can discuss with a friend of mine?

Appreciate it! :)

Ecclesiastes

michaelchung — Sun, 07 Nov 2004 17:46:45 GMT

I am posting this on a few tribes that dialogue about religion or the bible.

---

What is your general take on Ecclesiastes? If you have never really reat it, it is a short read (about 1/2 an hour) with 12 chapters (short ones).

How might the perspective of Ecclesiastes respond to a gospel of prosperity (I am listening to a sermon on prosperity right now as I type) - meaning, a gospel that says, in basic form, that if our relationship with God and his Son are in order, than we will not have to worry about failed relationships, financial problems, our helath, etc...because God will be able to remedy any and all problems in our lives.

Peace.
MC

Great book

Margaret — Sat, 17 Apr 2004 19:55:20 GMT

This is a great Presbyterian answer to fundamentalism, and it explains Reformed Theology really well.

God and killing others

Wed, 28 Jan 2004 22:52:58 GMT

Why did command us not to kill in His 10 commandments and then commands Israel to whip out whole races of people multiple times throughout the Old Testament?

Then in the New Testament Jesus tells us to turn the other cheek. Did God change his mind about killing? Is the OT God the same as the NT God?
