I'm less sure of the mathematical probability of it (the calculations seem to differ depending on who you ask and it's unclear to me if any of them are really well-grounded enough). Nevertheless, I think I generally agree that there could be life elsewhere in the universe (either due to how God...

Yeah, I agree that it's speculation (not sure which one of us you were replying to). For me, things like this enter into the category of "plausible" once viewed from a Christian perspective, but "they [gods of the Egyptians, or even if applied to my point about aliens etc.] could have just been...

It seems plausible to me that demons/fallen angels in general had a lot to do with pagan religions. It could be that they directed how these religions originated, but on the other hand, fallen humans are more than capable of creating idols and false religions on their own, so I find it perhaps...

This answer is somewhat speculative and it goes beyond (but not against) what the Bible teaches about the matter, so I don't want to make too much of it, but just for a moment, let's assume the following points: 1. God's plan for humankind was to eventually elevate us to a higher status than...

I would think that this thread is more relevant right here in the singles forum. Anyway, some additional red flags: -Being overly attached to one's parents (although there are great cultural differences in what counts as the "normal" level of attachment) -Not getting along with most of his/her...

I don't really like death metal type vocals, except perhaps in very small doses. But thanks for the recommendation. Perhaps I'll still check them out. I suspect I've heard something from them only once or twice.

As I'm from Finland, I suppose I'm almost obliged to post something from HB here. Symphonic metal is almost the only type of metal that I would enjoy listening to more than occasionally. Sadly, the few Christian bands that exist within that genre aren't quite up to par with their best secular...

I see the "true intent and meaning" as a range or a matter of degree rather than one specific point. If such blending occurs, it's typically at the boundaries, so it won't be with the clearest examples from each category. I probably stretched the meaning too much with the "quality time" example...

For some reason, this is kind of a hard question for me to answer. So rather than answer it, I'll just pose a couple of questions that may (or may not) be worth thinking about: 1. Are each person's love languages the same both in giving and receiving love? If not, is there a potential problem...

I wonder if these five love languages begin to blend into each other on deeper analysis. If you like handmade things as gifts, you presumably like them especially when they are made well. But in a way, the time spent on making the gift could be seen as either an act of service or even "quality...

There are also a couple of formatting issues that I spotted. That 5-minute limit on editing is not so great (in my opinion). But I guess I should have just been more careful when posting first. :unsure:

Should have been "Sands are drifting", not "thrifting". :D I wonder if the person approving the thread could edit it as it's still pending approval. (EDIT: Apparently not. Oh well, at least I have the excuse of English as a second language.)

1. Lord everlasting giver of life so merciful. May you now grant us your grace and peace so plentiful. 2. You veiled your glory came down to die so that we may live. No power of our own it is our weakness that we now give. 3. In weakness of our hearts let not our greed rule what we do. And...

I wonder what happens to the divorce rate when you factor in both Christian belief (and other beliefs) AND the number of prior sexual partners. Apparently that's a major factor in predicting the likelihood of divorce. One would assume that there's some correlation between Christian belief and a...

I would go with multiple sources from different perspectives, keeping in mind the biases that each of them seem to have. After having multiple mainstream media sources but everything digested critically, perhaps one could add a few more independent voices outside the mainstream. I don't know if...

:D

I believe that God in his mercy does not reveal the full extent of our sinfulness to us at once as it would be just too much to bear. The safe place to understand the depths of our need for grace and forgiveness is one in which we are able to avoid despair over our sin as we realize that the...

How many is "extremely many"? Probably it happens more often than Christian men marrying a non-Christian woman, but part of that may be explained by the apparent fact that a larger percentage of committed Christians are women...

The new king has arrived Setting up a feast for the ones fasting Hope of kingdom revived From eternity past to future everlasting Places next to his throne Left and right already taken Veil of darkness falling Ground's foundations shaken Prevailing in his deliverance Weight of throne crushing...
