Is this just me but I get the impression we have a book full of guidance and instructions in the bible yet we spend so little time trying to understand what it is all about? The NTC met DAILY in their homes to learn the apostle's doctrine. We meet once a week if we are lucky to hear a sermon and...

That chorus was a favourite of my early days as a Christian.

I don't know if you realize that one of the reasons we have places like this is due to the church not practicing the priesthood of all believers. Most churches practice the priesthood of some believers but not all. What that means is that there is an untapped source of spiritual guidance and...

There is no statement of faith in scripture other than Jesus Christ is Lord.

The sabbath rest is different to the sabbath.

Who is he talking to?

In general, there is a thing called free will. God wants you as he does everyone but he does not make you. At the end of the day, it is your choice. This is a big topic and needs a lot of thinking through but if that is what you do, then you get to a conclusion.

MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT PLENTY OF CESSATIONISTS HAVE SAID we don't need miracles anymore because we have the bible.

So you know everything there is to know about the supernatural?

One thing you need to understand is that most homosexuals do not live in faithful monogamous relationships. I have read books and watched several documentaries on TV that indicate there is always sex on the side in most relationships. One TV programme was about a middle-aged homosexual couple...

Just my two bob's worth if I may. Being autistic I tend to deal with reality, not speculation. One of my biggest occupations is reading. I must read 50 books a year, mostly Christian with a few novels thrown in. Whilst I love to study theology having been to Bible College, My main interest is...

Calvinism like its opposite Arminianism are belief systems that can be justified by any number of scriptures depending on how you interpret them. Having studied them for a debate at the church I was attending I came down on the side of Calvinism but I could see the argument from the other side...

It does not say broken for you. It says given for you

Just a quick note. Jesus' body was not broken for us. That refers to the standard practice of if at a certain time on the cross a person had not died, usually by asphyxiation caused by the weight of their body restricting their ability to breathe, the Centurion would break the legs of the person...

So pleased to hear that. Especially as the autistic person cannot say "Hello, my name is Bill. I am an autistic person" because in all probability the person hearing that would have no idea what it means.

I don't know if you realize that you would never make a pastor. If I am approached about anything I teach, I do not say "Go and read the bible" That is insulting. I sit down with the person and find out what was not gelling with them and then answer using a different track because it is clear...

I am autistic and the main problem is that there is nothing to see. As it is a neurological disability you can't sit down in a group and it is obvious. I have an I.Q. of 140 which again can be a problem as one can trot out knowledge with your eyes shut and because you show an air of confidence...

I thought it might be above your pay grade.

No, they worked that out for themselves. Another pointer is that we were not helicopter parents. First, they never went home to an empty house. Very important. Second, particularly with my son, He had only one thing on his mind when he came home from school and that was food. He didn't wait to...
