Re: Amish Salve-maker in Jail, Facing Federal Prison

for the record, there are people that like the medical system but believe in corruption being present. These said people (myself included) disavow any form of witchcraft ranging from water-witching to adding one drop of medication to 1000s of gallons of water and calling it a miracle drug. That bein...

Re: Convincing ethnic plain people to engage with the lost

There is a conservative Mennonite church near me that has at least taken in several ex criminals and membership was given out. I don't know the specifics though.

Re: Television

I haven't had a TV for watching TV for any of my adult life. That being said, I've watched a lot of TV throughout my older years until I decided there wasn't redeeming value. This is a hard choice in a lot of ways for me, I'm used to talking about shows I watched, star wars, star trek so on and so f...

Re: Global Warning/Climate Change

maybe this was mentioned somewhere in one of these massive posts... Has there been any actual studies showing a carbon uptake cap on properly acclimated plants? Short term studies show increased output from the carbon cycle, and acclimated plants show decreased output and increased uptake on the car...

Re: "Blessed is he whose quiver is full"

To clarify... my keyboard isn't sticky, but I was eating oatmeal and honey :P I've always considered this to be more of a question of birth control. Is there a legitimate form of birth control Christians can use? In my mind anything that causes the death of a fertilized egg is wrong. I know some wou...

Josh wrote:It would seem to make as much sense to give teachings that Christians should eat a lot of honey "for it is good" as to use Proverbs as a doctrinal basis for having as many children as possible.

Re: Did Apostle Paul know Christ?

if we doubt the reliability of Acts... that would call some serious questions in about us poor gentiles. As a side note about Paul... Peter seems to indicate the reliability of Paul but the difficulty for understanding him. Also for some who might support James and not Paul, was it not men from Jame...
