45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.

When should a church member be allowed to vote?

What are your opinions on him?
I see him as a false teacher to put it kindly. Am I being too harsh or am I perhaps wrong?

As some here seem to view it as being of anf from satan instead?

Hey guys,

So I'm looking for any advice you guys have from experience when out knocking doors. Particularly, I'm looking for the best approaches to introducing dialogue, getting the topic on salvation, and the best ways to keep the interest of the person you're talking to.

As I was reading the scriptures the other day I came across an interesting portion and seeing I've been studying what I'll call the weakness of Calvinistic teachings....this one item stood out to me. The story is from Luke 18:9-14

To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that...

I recently learned about a course offered at Wheaton College. Their Theories of Origins class is apparently popular and yielding some amazing results (from their perspective). A review, Evolving Thoughts on Origins, was written up the the school newspaper. There's also a description of the class in The American Scientific Affiliation, written by the course authors. Theories of Origins: A Multi- and Interdisciplinary Course for Undergraduates at Wheaton College.

Per the school paper,...
