Tipping my hat to Albert Einstein, since time is relative to the observer the universe was created in 72 hours, as revealed in scripture, and in 10 billion years, as observed by science.

Do we obey God in order to have relationship with Him? Or... Do we engage in relationship with God in order to obey Him? Your thoughts, please. That's an intersting question, as I am discussing a similar point on another forum. I am looking at it from a couple perspectives that may coming around to...

There is no age of accountabulity found in the bible. [/qoute] And this is an age old problem. When is a child accountable? Roman Catholicism holds children accountable for their sin nature from birth and so offer regeneration to the infant in baptism. That sounds like the safest approach when you ...

]Hi Wayne, thanks for your answer. I think you may have misunderstood what I was really asking. I agree with you about the innocents of childern and their standing with God. My question to you was really about what age a child can undestand the Gospel. I don't mean to seem unclear. For me the quest...

Wayne, are you saying children that are in their pre-teens or early teens are unable to make a consious decision to fallow christ or understand what it means to be a Christian?

Good points Homer and Wayne, I guess I'm most interested in my kids seeing that God is real and how He influences our life then an understanding of the Gospel at this point.

There seems to be a thin line nowadays between believer's baptism and the pedobaptists. Excellent point. What I would fear is that we make a person think they are “saved” f...

I've tried talking to my son (5 yrs) about the Gospel since he was really young, and I don't really see him comprehending it. Maybe I'm using the wrong words.. Oooh...one more hypothetical. If someone decided to follow Christ, but never said "The Sinners' Prayer", but instead chose to go straight f...

Then in Acts 2:44 those that believed are said to have had all things common. "Common" here comes from the same koina word group and would appear to emphasize the fact that all teachings of Jesus were taught and assimilated by the members of the body. The commonality came from a willingness to reco...

Hi Wayne! I have enjoyed reading your comments... thanks for posting! I was curious, since you are no longer a part of the Bruderhof community, what community are you a part of now? Do you have a particular job? Have you continued to pool all money together with other believers? I am not a part of ...
