People attend churches close to where they live... Most people live in neighborhoods where people look like them. People usually attend churches in the neighborhood where they live. If being the lone white guy is important to you then go for it, drive 45 minutes to attend whatever church you...

Such a beautiful post, thank you! God bless you!

I went ahead and deleted, it's a very good topic. :)

Your welcome brother... :hearteyes: I haven't gone through and read the thread yet. Lot's of fighting? I'm thinking I might not try and sort through it all .. lol

... It's not fatalistic (aka hopeless) and honestly, only ignorant people would see predestination that way... Go back and read my last post in this thread. The theology itself is one focused solely on hope and joy in Christ... You live an accomplished life because Christ accomplished that...

Because Christ has told us we are overcomers in Him, Monergism allows me to see my own personal sin as overcome (past tense) in Christ even if the physical overcoming isn't completed in me yet. 1 John 5:4–5 says, “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has...

https://www.ligonier.org/learn/articles/what-tulip No one takes anyone's church over. Some reformed denominations might join into larger groups of churches for the purposes of supporting missions, and others don't (at some churches supporting missions is individual responsibility rather than...

Since you did this twice I want to ask if this is you being intentionally demeaning of those who would help by being sarcastically sacrilegious? Or can you not spell, and avoid any proof reading your own writing before or after posting? I just wanted to know how to take you here.... So I...

Ding ding ding!!! Correct. And until you exhaust all your options your not being persecuted. As far as why do most women move when they pick up a stalker? It's because other people, individuals, have rights too. We don't get to jail people on little to no evidence of any actual crime and...

You know I never thought of it like that... I always just put it on God being mind-blowing and just having a hard time wrapping my brain around the new reality... But it could be evidence of a changed life too, the world is definitely not a homey little place anymore... Hahaha

I've done politics all my life... I've not done God all my life.... That's new, and God is guiding me through. When something makes me question something I step back, pray, and research for my own conscious sake. I don't do things I believe are wrong or against God's will, ever. I would...

I don't think it's possible, not truly or at least not wholly. I believe in separation of powers and a separation between church and state, but I guess only so far. The church is the church and has a role in the life of men, and the law is law and government has a different sphere than the...

I just want to give people who don't know me a heads up, but when I point out a book suggestion - anywhere on the forum - for people to read, it's because I own them, have read them, have found the content accurate and recommendable, I don't suggest books that are not affordable for what they...

It was an English colony they immigrated to... at the time they immigrated.

Perhaps that's because John Calvin is simply a man who absolutely no one follows and most haven't even read or heard taught in their churches? The term Calvinist is a derogatory one so-called by the enemies of the people who hold to a reformed soteriology.... Like any other teacher or preacher...

Okay... I just wasn't following the portion of the post you were referring to. .. lol. I'm slow..

No... That doesn't fit the definition of persecution because there's only one side of the story being told. What does the law enforcement say? What's their side? What prevented the man from moving to a different town to get away from the stalker? How many times has the man moved and how many...

I imagine there's some intent behind the posts that's dubious enough to avoid response to.

I'm not understanding this response. I normally agree but you've thrown me through a loop on what you mean here... Lol. Who is immigrants? The illegal aliens? The man's family? The people sitting at the high tables? Lol... I've gotten lost somehow.
