I’m sorry if I didn’t make my appreciation clear enough: a lot of what you write makes me think you’ve got your heart in the right place, that’s why I suggested that while our eschatology may differ in many ways we can probably agree on what it means to be ready for the Lord’s return. However...

Sorry, but I've got no idea what you are on about. Yeah, that sounds terrible, doesn't it? But it turn's out it’s just one of the many misrepresentations in the OP’s pamphlet: Trudeau has been in office since 2015. It’s more than 15 years ago that the Peel District School Board allowed for...

Well, Jay Ross, probably every generation of Christians sported a fraction that was convinced to see the signs for the time being nigh and that connected the Book of Revelation to all kinds of characters and events of their respective times. I’m a New Covenant mainline Christian, who believes...

Yes I have no doubt that eventually all people will come to the knowledge of the truth. To help in this we do good to represent our faith accurately by striving to imitate Christ and to mirror the love He has shown us in our words and deeds. As it says in Lessing's Ring-Parable: "Well, then...

Yes, out of Adam God created all races in His image. Now your turn, but somehow I doubt your going to answer any of my questions. Our conversation just reminded me of a little episode that occurred in my home town not so long ago: My town’s soccer-team hosted a game against another team...

What's wrong with swim suits? I wear one once a week.

Yes, the Bible tells us God chose the Jews to bless all nations through the Jew Jesus Christ. I think I already answered your question. Your refusal to answer mine speaks volumes. But again: I believe God created every single human being on this earth in His image. Both the Bible and modern...

I’m sorry to have to put it that bluntly: but that’s hogwash. As Trudeau Obama had the intellectual ability and integrity not to equate all of Islam with its radical terrorist fringes. But he certainly did not cater to the latter. The man ordered more drone strikes against Islamic terrorists...

If you paid attention, you would have noticed by now that nobody is catering to radical Islam, maybe with exception of President Trump et al. when on state visit to Saudi Arabia in the hope of a good weapon’s deal.

Sure, liberalism has a wide range, so has conservatism. And communists represent US-liberalism no more (or even less these days) than fascists represent US-conservatism. And of course there are fascists in the US. Or what would you call the thugs that waved Swastika-flags in Charlottesville...

God promised Abraham, that all nations would be blessed through him (Genesis 18:18). This promise got fulfilled in Jesus Christ, in whom there is “neither Jew nor Gentile” (Galatians 3:28). Don’t you believe all races descended from Adam? So Stranger, tell us, does the God you believe in value...

Sorry, but referencing a passage from the Gospel followed up by prejudice against a certain group of people, doesn’t make the prejudice less of a prejudice. Remember that “there’s no partiality with God”. There are many Muslims whose works and deeds speak more of God’s “law written in their...

Because your suggestion was unrealistic. Where are these vast stretches of land that you were talking about? In fact arable land and drinking water gets scarcer and scarcer. There are densely populated regions that won’t be habitable in a couple of decades due to climate change. Question is...

In all honesty I can't say that the thought that you and I don't worship the same God hasn't crossed my mind also. My God is not a racist. He created every single human being on this earth in His image.

I’m afraid you speak from a position of prejudice rather than out of personal experience. I met many Muslim refugees over the past few years and none of them has spoken disrespectfully of Christianity or tried to force their religion on me. Quite the contrary. To tell you just one little story...

I'd even go as far as to say that it is impossible to follow Christ without empathy and compassion. He was compassionate enough to die for us. We love Him by passing His love on to others. Without that we're just a clashing cymbal.

No Taken, it is you who’s missing the point. The point is that US-Amercan liberals are no more communists than US-American conservatives are fascists. You very rightly complained of having been called a fascist here. But it seems you have forgotten what the Bible tells us about not repaying evil...

What’s the Roman Catholic Church got to do with the persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire long before Constantine made Christianity an official state religion? Nothing. So how do you get the idea that I bear a grudge against Catholics? I don’t. Quite the contrary: concerning this...

You see Jay Ross, I have a rather down to earth approach to the Book of Revelation in that I don’t mistreat it as a crystal ball. It doesn’t say anything about WWI other than by the stretch of your imagination. When it talks about Babylon the Babylon it speaks about is the superpower of its day...

My communist friends wouldn’t have given Clinton their vote because they regard her as a neoliberal capitalist in bed with wall street – a quite accurate observation. if you ask me. Also they couldn’t have voted for Clinton, because none of my Commie-friends is from the US. I’m from Germany...
