It leads me to propose this: That any Christian organization or movement which does not keep Christ at the centre sooner or later becomes an anti Christ. I have a very similar opinion: that every generation that is not dedicated to reading, searching, understanding and following God's Word will exp...

I just did two tests online this morning from two different websites. One says I'm ESFJ-A and the second site said I'm INTJ. I'm skeptical of the value of these tests. I've never seen the tests vary that much and I've taken different ones and have even studied the system to understand what all the ...

It has consistently scored me INTP. I used to come out INFP all the time but the last several years I'm INTP. I can see the difference in myself. I think I use feelings less to make decisions than I did a decade ago. I've made a conscious decision not to depend on this system too heavily for how I ...

I don't want to hijack this thread either, but I have to wonder if God is truly happy with what many of our plain circles have become: constant in-fighting over technology, divisions, power struggles. Yes, this has been happening since the beginning of the Christian church. But just in the past dec...

I don't have a particular problem with Christians using anti-depressant and/or anti-anxiety meds. Unfortunately, in the current day, doctors are really quick to hand out antidepressants, often without looking for the real source of the problem. One of my doctors wanted to put me on them for frequent...

Overall, I'd imagine that churches that seek to have an applied doctrine are more likely to drift into legalism, and churches that do not have applied doctrine are more likely to drift into apostasy. Would y'all agree? How does one reconcile the fact that every Anabaptist group has different "...
