Oh, yeah, we read that and made some in the 5th grade. It was fun.

Ocarina of time was the one I really loved, though I didn't get to play the one you describe. I played the ones on the first Nintendo too. Not as fancy but not as heavily steeped in paganism. I rather felt disappointed on one of the old ones, though, that you were supposed to go find out the...

God doesn't tell us to "go to church" but He does tell us not to forsake meeting together. This can be casual meeting up with friends that also follow Christ, but it is still important not to neglect.

1) Talk to God about everything. Tell him your joys and sorrows. Tell him jokes. When my dad was young he commented to God that he thought his co-worker had the car he would most like to drive out of all the cars on earth. The next day the co-worker offered it to him and for a price he could...

Oh boy, there are so many good ones. Board Game: Monopoly was my favorite as a kid. Too many to decide now but Scrabble is pretty high on the list. Card Game: Been playing a lot of Skip-Bo lately. Also noteworthy, I love the solitaire game my mom taught me she calls Michigan. No one else seems...

I grew up with the doctrine of clean and unclean meats. Therefore I couldn't in good conscious read Green Eggs and Ham as a kid. Dr. Seuss should have written Green Eggs and Turkey Ham for those of us who tried to keep kosher. For me it was Hop on Pop.

Does that make it the return of Christ?

No actually, I was writing to you on my phone at 2:00 a.m. and when I woke up and reread everything it became even more crystal clear how unconvincing your case was. You don't know the first thing about the culture of the day, nor understand that most people were illiterate (around 90% could...

Could I be mistaken on Peter's being illiterate? I'm open to the possibility though I don't feel like you make a sufficient case. It was common then to have scribes take dictation, and even the well-educated Paul seems to indicate as much going on in Galatians 6:11. Acts 4:13 specifically calls...

I know you are speaking to a specific, but actually God used both educated and uneducated people in different places. Peter was a fisherman. Paul was a student of the esteemed teacher Gamaliel and had quite a resume. Each had a different calling and place. Luke was a physician and produced quite...

I think correcting the young man was already stretching him. Correcting an elder is also a lot more complicated though the Bible does give us directions on it. As for the younger man, I think it had to be public because, right or wrong, he had been given a place of authority over the church...

How disappointing. It reminds me of a day my mom and I were visiting another church we kind of liked. They had a guest speaker, but before they could get started they had to take care of some in-house business. The main pastor publicly reprimanded and demoted one of the young, assistant pastors...

I now appreciate that I didn't understand the context of what you were saying in pointing out the original poster's lack of logic, and I apologize for my mistake. However, I would say there is a logical argument there to be made. Although it hasn't come up for a while, God seemed to indicate...

My experience is quite the opposite. I didn't have nearly the growth until God took me to a house Church. One thing critics of house churches on this page seem to miss is that all churches are independent groups that need to be vetted, and we always need to be looking for God's lead whether...

Thank you for sharing and please understand my anger on your behalf. I would like to give you a 'friendly' vote too, BTW. I'm sad to hear that my abusive experience wasn't unusual. As someone else noted, God tells us that the worker is worth their wages, and that is a verse that God has had...

My roommate momentarily wondered why the assassin would choose to shoot at Trump's golf club. Oh, and sadly NBC wasn't the only network that had people blaming Trump and Vance for instigating the shooting according to the Daily Wire.

Yikes! Sounds like a (un)Christian school I worked at for a bit. They claimed they couldn't afford to pay the teachers properly, constantly guilted us into volunteering our time when we weren't making minimum wage as it was, then they told all the parents they were going to have a big trip to...

I'm just going to put this here: Matthew 12:22-28 NASB1995 [22] Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed him, so that the mute man spoke and saw. [23] All the crowds were amazed, and were saying, “This man cannot be the Son of David, can he?” [24]...

Per prophecy, they are graffiti on God's temple.

I can understand why you might think that but actually healing is a more complicated subject then you realize, and therefore you can't necessarily conclude that Paul had lost his gift. Just because one person or issue can be healed on the spot doesn't mean another can. For example, till God...
