Is it? I’m not into politics, because I’m not a fan of getting disappointed and my hope is in the return of Christ, not the return of conservatism (haha!) to the Republican party. At the same time I understand the responsibility to vote. From what I've heard, Romney is a liberal, Gingrich is a tramp, and Paul doesn't support Israel. What business do I have as Bible believing Christian voting any of them? At the same time Obama is a Communist. I enjoy having freedom, don't you? Should I refuse to vote and then secretly breathe a sigh of relief when my state goes red (I live in Idaho), or should I vote even if it's one of the above three guys? What's a guy su…

Are contemporary songs and music welcome in your church? Most of the Independent Baptist Churches sing using hymnals only? One more question, is it a sin to aloud any type of music into the church? These questions will help me and others, thank you.

This is different from the "Who Wins?" Poll, because that's just a guess on who's going to win and a lot of people here picked Obama, even though I know most of them aren't going to vote for him (obviously). I'm just curious... who are people on OB voting for? You can vote anonymously here on this poll, or you can vote and post your answer! :cool We've got about 55 days till election day... and we all know enough about the candidates by now... so take your pick! (btw, I set it so that you can change your vote if you want to, just in case someone changes their mind on who they want to vote for before the election gets here) Oh, and I picked McCain/Palin... just …

In light of the clear command in Romans 13 regarding government, were those who promoted and prosecuted the American Revolution violating the Word of God? Romans 13 1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that whic…

Satan is working overtime to ban guns in the U. S., and Obama is just the man to try it. He may succeed if these mass murders continue at the rate they have so far. Once the public is disarmed, we are at the mercy of one of the most corrupt government systems that we have seen yet, and woe unto us when this happens. Christians ought to be on their knees for America, and perhaps[s "Up in arms" for the more radical believers; freedom is worth fighting for too, as is "freedom of religion". I am afraid that our destruction in inevitable.

Are there any Roman "Catholic" Church members here at OB? I know the question is to a board for IFBers but, I just wondered. When a little girl turns 8 years old and gets baptised in the Roman Church what does it mean? Or, is it a ritual of passage, membership, or...?

A bit of a live issue. Probably just a passing fad. Thoughts?

Dinosaurs on the ark never made sense to me. Why save the dinosaurs if they were just gonna die right away due to climate change. Either they were an abomination created in Genesis 6 or perhaps prior between Genesis 1:1-2 and were wiped out during Lucifer's rebellion. Incidentally, Satan is compared to a dragon aka dinosaur. -
The Bible teaches by man came death. At the end of creation week, there was no evil in the universe. God declared all He had made very good. All the angels rejoiced on day three - when the foundations of the earth were laid - Job 38:7 - which meant none had fallen yet. You can also see the same order of events of creation week (as shown in Job 38) presented the same way in Psalm 104. Satan walked in Eden before he fell - Ezekiel 28:13 - and Eden was not created until day 6. Nowhere does the Bible state Adam and Eve fully understood how death would affect things, only that it was promised as a judgement if they sinned. Satan fell sometime after creation week, then he later tempted Eve and Adam; and their sin resulted in death, the curse, etc. being brought on creation, including all biological life. Romans 5 is very clear on that. -
What did the grape do when someone sat on it? It gave out a little whine. What do you call people who really like tractors? Protractors. A rancher had 97 cows in his field. When he rounded them up, he had a hundred! Why did the man name his dogs Rolex and Timex? They were watch dogs. -

replenish (v.) mid-14c., replenishen, "provide" with food or drink, also riches, beauty, etc., from Old French repleniss-, extended present-participle stem of replenir "to fill up," from re-, here perhaps an intensive prefix based on the notion of "fill repeatedly," thus "fill completely" (see re-), + -plenir, from Latin plenus "full" (from PIE root *pele- (1) "to fill"). Specifically as "to fill up again, restore to a former amount or condition" by 1610s. Related: Replenished; replenishing; replenishment. And here's the link to the prefix "re" https://www.etymonline.com/word/re- I'm not convinced either way. Evil did exist before man sinned, otherwise God would not have "known good and evil" and the serpent would not have been an evil entity to have tempted Eve. And "death" was a known concept, otherwise the serpent and Eve would not have discussed it. The Bible says that death passed upon Adam and Eve.. I don't recall reading where it says that animals had not yet died. I'm just curious as to what happened to all them "dinosaurs". Except for crocodilians, they were completely annihilated long ago and I don't believe any of them were on the ark. -
This man started his own cult. Unless you love being deceived, I recommend staying a million miles away from this dangerous heretic.
