    What are some of the reasons people don’t like going to church buildings or institutionalized churches?

    Pointing a finger at Church and saying "They do fill in blank wrong is no different from Adam blame shifting to Eve. The real truth is that you do not love what God loves, you dont hate what God hates, and your "faith" is one-half step away from dying out completely because you can't be...

    The Prophecy of the Popes or the "Pope is dead, long live the Pope"

    It's true, the Church no longer rules the world. It's an all volunteer organization by people who believe in the mission of the organization. We may not believe in the human leader...and when we don't we stay to keep the organization true to its mission and pray for better days. BUT When...

    Why I love the Bible

    Ummmm Even God can do maths. There is no way possible for 11 people to speak 16 languages simultaneously. Especially when they do not know the languages. However, there is the realistic possibility that as an idiom of speech they called it "the gift of Tongues " because God thought that...

    Why I love the Bible

    It's a tad difficult for a lot of people to get used to.... To me, it's a bit clearer of what a person who grew up speaking a verb based metaphoric language would think in terms of writing. It's the same scriptures with the same translation....but just worded a touch different. It's an...

    Please Pray for my niece, Lexie. She has leukemia

    It's been more than one.... But yes....things have changed drastically. I was on a construction job a couple years before my retirement and this woman a few years younger than me came up with lukemia (former armed servicemember) and the VA gave her a prescription and told her to go back to...

    Musk, Johnson, Vance, Lee, other GOP say Russia will win the war in Ukraine, impossible to lose, time to end US billions to Ukraine

    So.... You don't want an honest discussion about it at all. You just want to hurl propaganda instead of truth but claim your propaganda is true while name calling your "opponents". Sucks to be you.

    Why I love the Bible

    Only 11 Apostles.... How do 11 apostles speak 16 languages at the same time? Only one voice, lips, tongue per person. The miracle was in the hearing and not the speaking in this instance.

    Is real fellowship possible on an internet forum?

    Oh yes, It's possible. But the two (or more) have to be seeking it. That's not the majority of people who show up. But the blessed few who do....AMEN!!!!

    Why I love the Bible

    Yeah.... So the reality is that in Acts 2 the 11 Apostles spoke 16 languages.... Meaning....the Apostles weren't really speaking the foreign languages but the people were hearing 16 different languages. Musta been the sweet wine.

    Why I love the Bible

    TS2009 is the ONLY translation inspired by God. The naming conventions are much better and consistent than any other translation. Especially the KJV system which uses a mish-mash of rules to transcribe names. This translation was created by Christian Jews. (AKA Messianic Jews) Meaning...

    Why I love the Bible

    Each person who is capable of writing communicates. And with that communication their specific and unique personality comes through. With the Bible we have One person discussed and how they reacted to various situations. 40 different people wrote their perspective about what God is to them...

    Musk, Johnson, Vance, Lee, other GOP say Russia will win the war in Ukraine, impossible to lose, time to end US billions to Ukraine

    Russia doesn't have any viable nuclear missiles... Nuclear weapons are extremely expensive to maintain. Over $50 billion a year to keep ours up to date and viable. Russia hasn't spent anything on their nuclear arsenal. Elements like tritium have a half life of 20 years....they went bad at...

    Please Pray for my niece, Lexie. She has leukemia

    Yes it's working.... Lukemia is a form of cancer that is highly treatable anymore. It's not the same as it used to be. Better drugs and understanding of the disease than ever before. For some people it's just a prescription they take for a few months. For others it's the chemotherapy...

    Musk, Johnson, Vance, Lee, other GOP say Russia will win the war in Ukraine, impossible to lose, time to end US billions to Ukraine

    Not really, Victory in an asymmetric war doesn't look V Day from WW2. It will look like Russia abandoning the nation much like they did in Afghanistan in the 90's. Leaving only warlord farms and no infrastructure. So.... Where there's a train load of propaganda over two miles...
