Usagi the Yakuza Gangster
I've been wanting to tell this story here for quite a while, so here it goes. In recent years a number of yakuza gangsters have been saved in Japan. Down in Kobe some years ago one was saved and became a pastor, and a member of the Barabbas Mission, which works to see other yakuza saved. Here is his story: http://www.worldmag.com/2001/04/barabbas_lives
The yakuza are the traditional gangsters of Japan, the Japanese version of the mafia with some similarities in social structure... -

Has anyone else noticed this board is being taken over by charismatics? -
What's the problem with SBC, GARBC, and RBC?
Recently I checked out an IFB site for ladies and I was disappointed (although not really surprised) to find that I'm not allowed to join the forum because I attend a church that is part of the GARBC fellowship. This online group refuses membership to anyone that is SBC, RBC, or GARBC, or any other church that lets in anyone who isn't in complete agreement with "their" IFB "convictions."
This thread isn't to debate pants and KJVO, I just want to know what exactly is the problem? My... -
Antinomianism
I have been grappling with a selection of church I should go to & found one that I assumed had their beliefs squared away. When I asked pointed questions however about theology, I was told that they hold to a "New Covenant Theology" so I asked this board and others about NCT because I never heard of it. I believe it boils down to "antinomianism" a word that was expressed but never explained.
Here is what Websters has to say....

Satan's Signs and Wonders
I cannot find exactly what miracles (signs and lying wonders) Satan will do in the end times. I may never.
People who are not fully convinced about miracles operating today, often presume it will be healing the sick, raising the dead, cleansing the lepers, casting out demons, copying what Jesus did. I understand this viewpoint because Satan copied a few miracles Moses did.
But Jesus said Satan will not make his own house fall: If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his... -
Conflict between OT priests and OT prophets?
I post this here so all will be able to participate.
Does anyone see a conflict between OT priests and OT prophets in their views of how God deals with humans and what he requires of them? I do. And I think the life and teaching of Jesus is in the line of the OT prophets.
I know this thread will probably be controversial, but I hope this can be discussed without the all-too-often charges of apostasy, heresy, and the questioning of another's salvation. -
Dear Ole Westcott & Hort
Folks...I'm gonna post this attached article for everyone's attention and information by permission of its Editor(and friend),Bro. Steve Van Nattan of the Blessed Quietness Journal. It is a long article so plan on taking it in chunks if you are interested in it. Maybe you'll learn something...maybe you won't...probably depends on your "mindset" going in. Anyway...here it is. I'm not going to engage in any argument on the conclusions of it but maybe some of you "scholarly" types can have a go... -
How much?
I'm curious, and serious.
How much documentation/witness'/credibility, would it take to convince you that someone today, has been raised from the dead?
A doctor to confirm death?
Witness'?
If you simply don't believe it would ever happen please do not respond. -
What is faith?
First let's look at what faith is not:
Faith is not an emotion. For example, if you're a Christian then you have faith in Jesus as your Savior, but you're not constantly full of emotion and shouting and jumping and so on. Faith can sometimes bring out emotion in us, but faith itself is not an emotion.
Faith is not knowledge. For example, when Hurricane Ike was heading towards Houston in September, 2008, Someone asked the Lord if he should evacuate from Houston or do something to...
