    Does your church still use hymnals?

    You are very welcome... Oh it's just a point of frustration when people don't put forth any effort or the lamest effort when it comes to church volunteering.

    Does your church still use hymnals?

    Not really, You work with what you got to work with as YOUR leaders request of you. Meaning stop acting like a bunch of half-wit volunteers and act as if God is who you are working for.

    Oh I readily admit I've made past mistakes others will not accept in a spouse to have made in their past. I'm not saying I'm better or worse. But just that there is not many men who will accept a former whore as a spouse. Even fewer who are Christians. It's not fantasy I'm...

    I would not reject her as a sister but most definitely would as a potential spouse. Decisions and poor choices can be forgiven by God....they might be by different members of mankind. The "EARTH" does not forgive. Because.... Some of those poor Choices leave scars and mental health issues...

    OnlyFans is a website that people upload amateur pornography they have made and patrons pay to view it where the content creators then receive and pay taxes on. We hear a LOT about the success stories but the vast majority of women post up their pictures and make very little (if any) money...

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

    I hinted at or suggested any such thing...I was talking about the Shema....a paraphrase. But while we were yet sinners Jesus died for us. How else are people supposed to learn and know about God except by hearing the Word of the Lord? Sure they can read the Bible. We are supposed to "Do...

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

    Just in case EVERYONE forgot.... The Bible is focused on relationships.... Between mankind and God AND Between each other. That's it....the major focus of the scriptures in a nutshell. The rest is just nuances of those two themes. And if you are a "Believer" you too need to focus on...

    I heard a horrible statistic the other day.... One in ten American women who are in their child bearing years are on OnlyFans.... (The vast majority of women make maybe $60 but destroy their future with a tarnished reputation by posting pictures) What guy would want to marry a woman like...

    Children

    Children today seem to be viewed more as expensive luxury items than a natural part of life for many people today. This needs to change in our society. Immigration can't fuel our culture. It can be a part of it....but it can't sustain us.

    Are YOUR children planning on parenting 3-4 of their own? What do you think they feel about it?

    Children

    In order to maintain the current population (in any society) the live birth rate for EVERY woman of child bearing years needs to be 2.7. Meaning every woman needs to have a minimum of 3-4 children. The USA Currently has a 1.7 live birth rate for women. As a woman do you relish the idea of...

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

    James 2 14What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their...

    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...
