As someone who grew up without a belief in tongues but who attended a Pentecostal college in addition to my older sister, there were indeed some who held the belief in tongues as a second level of the Holy Spirit's baptism to be expected for all if they progressed. Though they weren't pushy...

I tried a ladder built like that once. It was doable going up, but suicide coming down.

Yesterday Richard Simons passed away at the age of 76 while Dr. Ruth passed away at the age of 96. Sounds like you are better off getting lots of (godly) sex than you you are exercise.

Ok, I am back in town, but been pretty overwhelmed. Spent all of last Sunday night in the ER with my mom. Thanks to God she will be OK, though it's been a rough week.

Reasons that more males are born but more females reach adulthood.

If you can't get baptized in this life, God can take care of it post-mortem.

The question and replies already here make me think of a few critical lessons God has emphasized to my fellowship and myself. 1) Get out of the drama triangle. I recommend reading up on this more but let me give you some highlights. The drama triangle involves unhealthy ways of relating to...

Yes, in fact it doesn't even have to be a day, though there is value in that. For example, a busy mom might have an hour of 'Sabbath' each day while her toddler naps. The law was our teacher, but not being under the law any more means we are responsible for applying the spiritual lessons taught...

Looks like they were expecting girl twins.

Friend, that is exactly what we have prophecy for, which was my source, per 1 Corinthians 13.

Are you a linguist or am I misunderstanding you? I would love to see anything you have to share on the subject. What I meant is that I studied all of the body physiology in depth down to the chemistry and physics of the cells and tissues. All of it was ultimately understandable until they tried...

I wrote you a long reply but it doesn't feel like its for mass consumption. I will try to send it to you in a private conversation.

Gonna be out of town this next week so please respect that I won't be on here to answer near as much if at all.

Not far off from a real story I heard. A few years back a bridge in my uncle's community collapsed into the river. He had just driven over it, so he stopped to see if he could help. That's when he heard this story of how a lady had seen the bridge out ahead and stopped. Well some guy behind...

I hope you read the verses in 1 John at least. I was trying to dig into the issue, and in a respectful and honest way. The person we were discussing, though, sounded more like the deceived than someone intentionally deceiving. A false teacher is not the same as a mistaken teacher, the latter of...

I think you are trying hard there but struggling to wrap your head around some things. Please allow me to throw some concepts and verses at you. You referenced Hosea 4:6 (although also Isaiah 5:13) which says: "6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected...

I have my suspicions about this person's integrity (too?), but at least at this point I think I will leave them to God to judge (I haven't read much of the discussion but I see no future in getting into divisive arguments). God doesn't care about doctrine since he isn't after intellect and...

Politicians.

God is loving. God is just. God is holy. Whatever view one has about the matter must be in line with these, and it is pretty plain that condemning babies to eternal suffering is inconsistent with God's nature. That said, 'hell' isn't what most people think. So the issue is complicated by...
