You're right, but I don't think our "diversity is a strength." All this "culture clashing" is a big bummer and bummers are discouraging and dis-courage is the opposite of en-courage. So, I don't think this culture clashing is making us more courageous, than we used to be; I think it is making...

I know what you mean and I think there's that verse about "boldly approaching" iirc, "The Throne." Alright, but that wouldn't be the first time The Bible talks as if there really are two sides to things or even multiple sides. I can't imagine anyone approaching God without fear. Particularly, on...

I think there is at least some truth to what you are saying and it is interesting. But, my perspective is different from yours, because as a Protestant, I saw all the squabbles among the many Protestant denominations. And the attitude of one denomination to the next, seemed ridiculous. Often...

I read part of your blog article and it sounds as if God has to pay Satan a ransom, before he will release his prisoners. That seems odd. The whole thing is kind of interesting though. Anyway, this is Orthodox versus Catholic versus Protestant stuff, which, at this point in time, does not...

The Bible is full of God hating, but then we aren't supposed to hate everything. The Bible is full of God loving, but then we aren't supposed to love everything. Understanding that, takes maturity and most Americans, nowadays, are stuck in, perpetual adolescence.

Can you defend this with Bible verses or not?

I find it hard to believe that a "Roman" Catholic Church, didn't chafe some proud Germans.

But what is motivating the righteous to walk in righteousness. Certainly, fear of God is part of what is motivating them. There is a huge difference between the dread of God, the apostate feels and the fear of God, the obedient one feels.

That's a good point; there is a Psalm (50) that is pretty explicit about that. But, to me, when I think about the word, "want," I am programmed to to think in terms like this: if doing something I don't want to do, will get me what I want, then I want to do it. It seems like, I am putting my...

What is your Biblical argument for this?

I have to clear something up first. Without Christianity there would have been no Christendom. Hence, we can say, without Christianity, The West will not exist. You can use the same logic in America. Before Whites came, there was no America. The land was here and some half naked Indians were...

The word studies you posted, don't seem to prove much. But, it does seem appropriate, to revere God. However, it also seems appropriate, to fear God. I revere, General George Washington. However, I do not fear him, because he is dead. I fear a city bus, but I don't revere it, because it is...

Also, it bears mentioning, although it seems like a childish error, it is very prevalent: fear is not the opposite of love. Hate is the opposite of love and trust or faith is the opposite of fear. This is just basic psychology; our minds were crafted by God. We develop hope, because we trust...

The opening post lists several New Testament passages, from several New Testament writers (including the words of Christ Himself), that all affirm the teaching of The Old Testament: Fear God. There does not appear to be any real basis for questioning that. Other than to actually question the...

I think one of the biggest lies of Feminism is that it satisfies women. Women find satisfaction in getting married and having kids; not by adultery, fornication, murder, college and career. Even Secular Psychology used to know (before it became an inconvenient truth), that women had a...

In regards to the opening post, I was thinking about it today and, the obvious dawned on me! God requires blood sacrifice, because that is how He made things. So, I suppose one could ask, "why did God make things that way?" But of course, in all humility, we do not require an answer to that...

What "model" do you hold to?

Should we fear God? Nowadays, this seems out of fashion. However, our ancestors, in The West, were very afraid of God. Were they unenlightened idiots; superstitious morons; victims of a church-state conspiracy, to control the masses with fear; was this just something Authoritarian men taught...

I think the opening poster is long gone, but since everyone is reading it... You lose a girlfriend; it's a loss. Losing someone is humiliating; we feel ashamed. Any loss is humiliating! Life is full of loss. Ultimately, everyone has to deal with it. Counseling is useless; they can tell you...
