After his resurrection, Jesus' body was one of a kind. He is the 'firstfruits' of the resurrection. He was able to be touched, and felt, able to eat food, but also had an open wound in his side that was not a problem. He could appear or leave at will, w/o using the door. He was seen ascending into ...

My point is that children shouldn't raise themselves; and secular schools, government institutions or media shouldn't be programming their "values" into our children. Does this depend on whether you agree with the "value" being "programmed"? Anti-bullying seems to be a...

Here is a question for futurists. Why should Jesus humble himself to return in the form of human flesh again? I think we miss the point of the "second coming" with this mindset. I don't understand. Why would we not expect Jesus to "return as he left", in the same glorified resur...

I'm not strongly judgemental about those who make different choices, but would not like to change. My sense...

It depends on what we mean by judgement. Here are two verses that say we might not be judged: [bible]john 5,24[/bible] [bible]matthew 7,1[/bible] But the Sermon on the Mount concludes [bible]matthew 7,26[/bible] I don't see anything about "denominations", but we can use our denomination's ...

One reason a Christian might publicly identify as a "gay Christian" might be to help welcome others who identify as homosexual to a Christian group. I have the same doubts as others as whether that personally is a helpful way to look at oneself, but it could be useful in reaching out to ot...

I had a good time walking in the snow in the woods yesterday. I posted some pictures on Facebook of some of the God created beauty: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... a61df40078
