Re: Photography Sinful ?
Yes and many old, especially Protestant churches, that have beautiful stained glass windows. Our downtown, Catholic, United, Presbyterian, Anglican and First Baptist church all have stained glass window paintings and I have always enjoyed these in my visits. As long as we are worshipping the God in...

Re: Charlotte Shootout
A question though... Is there really no way for law enforcement officers to avoid this sort of thing? It sounds like they eventually drove an armored vehicle right into the house. For example, Could they not use such vehicles to serve the warrant initially, so they would have some protection? Sheri...

Re: AP Video: How to Read Revelation & Avoid the Mark of the Beast
Anyone ever hear of Jonas Stutzman? He seemed to be of some persuasion regarding the Lord's return-

Re: AP Video: How to Read Revelation & Avoid the Mark of the Beast
What do we do with this passage? Of course it was written before Revelation but it seems the very application of this passage makes us aware that individuals are not to interpret prophecy? 2 Peter 1: 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a ligh...

Re: Which evangelisation method is most effective?
I became a Christian during the Jesus Movement. What drew me in, was observing so many young Christians and their walk, their faith, their fellowship, their joy, their love & unity. Zeal. At the time, I "believed" but had not surrendered- I knew I was empty & void, needing Christ a...

Re: Which evangelisation method is most effective?
Something I’ve seen missed is just simply inviting people to church services. Most people (where I live anyway) are so detached from what the Mennonite church is that they don’t even think they are welcome at any church services. My Mennonite raised brothers talk about the Spirit leading people but...

Re: Which evangelisation method is most effective?
I am leaving that definition to the individual and his fellowship. Max, what has worked best for the RCC? As a fellowship at large the RCC tries to meet the needs of the community, e.g. Catholic ministries to the forgotten, the poor and the marginalised. Some who have come to Mass describe the sens...

Re: Alistair Begg - walking that fine line ...
I wrestled with answering the poll questions because to me they were too simplistic to define accurately. Pastor Begg has dealt with widespread attack for his counsel to that particular grandmother in that particular situation. His counsel shocked those who know him well. His closest friends, in fac...

Re: Alistair Begg - walking that fine line ...
I think there is much truth regarding Phariseeism in the church today especially in groups that have written expectations additional to the scripture itself. And the seeming lack of compassion towards the lost that shows up and results in churches with no real growth. I'm so glad that you are not a...

Re: "Good Friday" and Matthew 12:40
Well, once you disagree with Aquinas about several other things, what's one more? :) But you're right, minority views do have a higher burden of proof. The fringier the view, the more scrutiny it deserves. At least for me, this issue isn't a major one, and it's more a matter of probability than cer...
