Thank you, Nick, for the opportunity to express my beliefs. I've enjoyed it. I also realize that others will believe differently than I do, and some of my beliefs about God and the world may be offensive to them. So I do want to stress that they are my beliefs, but I am not the one, nor is any other...

(quote not shown)Thanks. :) (quote not shown) I'd like to clarify this. It appears as if we don't have a responsibilty to aid in receiving the spirit other then believing and not fulfilling the lust of the flesh. The only way to receive the Spirit, imo, is by faith in Jesus. We receive God's provisi...

(quote not shown)I have no problem with people expressing their impressions of Christianity. People should be able to be honest about what they think without someone else stifling their speech.

(quote not shown)I enjoy Christian music very much. We are exhorted in Scripture to sing praises to the Lord. We are told to worship him. I would not criticize another man's worship of God.

I would have to leave the teachings of Christ to kill, condemn, hate or oppress others. I realize many have ...

(quote not shown)The world means the entire aggregate of sinful mankind. John describes it like this, "For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world." Jesus came to save t...

(quote not shown) In my view there's a difference between Jesus and the rest of mankind. The Bible teaches that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. He was with God, was God and came forth from God. We are taught that Jesus is the image of the invisible God who presents God to us. Mankind, on the ...

(quote not shown)I would say it was emotional, intellectual and spiritual. In my view, God communicated with me and I responded. Since I believe God is separate and distinct from his creation, I believe we need God's guidance and revelation to teach us his will and his ways. It isn't something that'...

(quote not shown)Hi! Fundamentalism has come to mean different things in the last few years, so I'm glad you asked what my fundamentalism means to me. I'm a Christian fundamentalist in the sense that I believe the basic teachings of Jesus and his Apostles as they are presented in the Bible. I don't ...
