It's often stated that we won't be sinning because there will be no evil angels to tempt us. Which, of course, sounds reasonable enough, but where does that put the impetus of the first unction of rebellion originating, as it were, in the heart of Lucifer? It's also been urged that our...

I was compelled to add nuanced answer options due to the objections of participants. Some folks just don't like the wording of things. strs

Who could blame you? Thanks for voicing, so to speak, your thoughts. strs

Welcome, Friend. Will we then be a different type of fish than that which was created in Adam before the fall? strs

Love begets love. You have loved us, in the love that was begat in you by Christ's love for you, and for us all. Let us now love our enemies, who are simply those whom Christ's love has not yet reached. strs

Just the reply I expected, and well said. strs

Unfortunately, it's true. TGP gets about as bad a rating as is possible on mediabiasfactcheck.com. This is not to say they are in no way capable of publishing an accurate piece of journalism, but I'd sooner get my news elsewhere, in any case. I like GroundNews, Straight Arrow News, and The...

This is a lot more than you've provoked, so to speak, with your comment here but, since I find you to be one of the more thoughtful contributors in many discussions here, let me lay this on you: I don't know what's inside the head of the President, but I have seen little compelling evidence of...

It's interesting. I bookmarked this page in my email account and, upon stumbling over it while looking for something else, decided to review it. You amaze me. I know you don't care for flattery one whit, but I just got back from my morning walk so my mind is I unusually clear. And so I just now...

That's very interesting, Jack. strs

Race? strs

It bothers me, too, very greatly, Jack, my friend, but I'm afraid it's the tip of the iceberg in many ways. And it's been embraced widely enough now that it's not going away. Sometimes I feel like the proverbial old man shaking his walking stick at the clouds. We've got to win hearts and minds...

A fair enough observation, my friend. But I'm not settling for the reality/status quo. We have "a heaven to win and a hell to shun." And I'm certainly not under any illusion that whatever humility with which I may have been graced isn't also contaminated with the pride that struggles to rise...

YouTube carries pretty much all the news we get. To be fair, politics in Washington are of great interest to most of the world. I don't think my citizenship entitles me to exclusive concern about affairs that effect global security. Folks who feel and say differently are, of course, at perfect...

Sounds like an honest response to me! strs

I really wish the rhetoric surrounding politics could be dialed back a bit by folks processing Christ. I feel that exaggerating how people with differing views see things tends toward escalation of the rhetoric, rather than rousing them to see things differently. strs

Haven't people always had differing ideas about such things? And don't you think there's been considerably more heated and, frankly, acrimonious debate over these things in recent years? I can't help but think there ought to be a difference between the church and the world with respect to the...

I don't think I should get irritated over either. At least, not too often. strs

Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Jesus is very near, my friend. We are partakers in His sufferings, and we glory in the privilege. (1 Peter 4: 13) You have friends here who remember you always in prayer.

Folks who are game to take on the business of forgiveness and reconciliation (read: The Gospel Work) will find plenty of work for their hands and hearts. But it's honest, rewarding work. And it's like a well springing up into everlasting life. And @Wrangler is a soldier under the blood-stained...
