Yes, the word is heteros. I would imagine you mean it is not allos. Daniel, I think the comment you made on the word would usually be associated with allos, not heteros. But I'm not too sure how significant this is. If Paul is referring to a spiri...

James 3:13-17 (amplified) Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his noble living show forth his [good] works with the [unobtrusive] humility [which is the proper attribute] of true wisdom. But if you have bitter jealo...

I'd keep in mind what Messiah said about the two Emmaus disciples being foolish and slow of heart to believe the Word. If that describes the participants, I'm not sure it's something desirable. That it comes from a Catholic practice and it's toted...

City of God? Christianity, Judaism and Islam in the Public Square

The relationship between religion and the public square is among the most charged issues of our day. The Abrahamic faiths – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which together account for more than half the world’s population – approach this relationship in distinct and innovative ways. What are their differences? Their similarities? And is there room for collaboration in an increasingly secular society? At this Veritas Forum at the University of Oxford, distinguished representatives of the three traditions will offer their view on God, man and politics, and why it should matter to us.

5 Reasons God Exists and 3 Reasons It Makes A Difference

Dr. William Lane Craig, Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology, presents the case for the existence of God as well as what makes the existence of God significant to all of life.

You Only Live Once (if then): Shopping for Our Selves in the Global Supermarket

We have an extraordinary number of options through which we may seek significance; yet we also have extraordinary challenges to actually finding it. Through email, online avatars, and constant relocation we scatter ourselves around the globe. Our pace of life and the obligations of multiple relationships leave us little room for reflection. We are, quite literally, spread thin across space and time, potentially everywhere and nowhere at once. We thus tend to have, in the words of Gilbert Meilaender, "not an individual identity, but fragments of experience; not the narrative of a life that is in some sense a whole, but a decentered flow of experience." Join us in an evening discussion with Os Guinness about the many proposed bases for human identity, the contemporary challenges to establishing a coherent one of our own, and the extraordinary Christian claim that though we are made of dust we are nonetheless made for God.

Survival of the Fastest: Living Sanely When Life is Fired Point Blank

Science and faith: the vantage point of one neuroscientist

William Newsome is a practicing scientist and a practicing Christian—commitments that are inconsistent in the minds of many. While he encounters tension at times between his science and faith, his overwhelming belief is that both science and faith contribute critically to a meaningful, fully-experienced human life. Giving up either would result in a regrettable loss of understanding, depth of experience, and simple joy in life. He believes that much of the perceived incompatibility between science and religion is specious, although real tensions do exist. In this talk he lays out the central issues, hoping to dispel some of the false conflicts between science and faith while bringing into focus real choices that need to be made.

Can Christians become possessed? Why not? 5 Replies

I've always been taught that a Christian cannot be possessed. Can't find a verse that says that though. And passages like 2 Cor 11:3-4 that refer to receiving "another spirit" seem to indicate othe...
