    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    Catholics are not evil nor intending evil. Their theologies are a bit whacked but so is everyone's. None of us have perfect theology or perfect adherence to the theologies we do hold. And if you claim otherwise....that's a sin. They claim the same reverence for God's word as you do...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    But.... Where I and you differ from Catholics is in the faith we put into ceremonies versus heart condition. Catholics have "confirmation" where their past Christening becomes a baptism in their adult years. That's why the naming convention. But a Christening may never become a...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    Yawn, Another post detailing how all Catholics worship satan....as if! Christening today is a naming ceremony....no devil worship intended or desired.

    From Saturday to Sunday, what are the reasons given.

    You really don't know what I am talking about.... And yet you are claiming superior knowledge? Ummmmm Maybe you should figure out what I'm discussing before dismissing it out of hand.

    DOGE updates

    Some of what DOGE is doing is going through outdated systems to update them with software, security checks, oversight reports, and stop duplicating accounts. Dashboards for how to evaluate various accounts. Nobody in the government knew or could talk to anyone else inside of the government...

    Infant Baptism is not given in scripture.

    There is no such thing as infant baptism practiced by any Christian denomination. There are Christenings....where the Child is given its "Christian" name and dedication to raising them in the knowledge of God. Some even speak blessings over babies....but that's as far as it goes. Nobody...

    From Saturday to Sunday, what are the reasons given.

    Sunday of today is the actual Saturday of the pre-Constantine era. The Levites have been trying to correct this in the Jewish council because the stars tell what day of the week it is and they have not changed in the thousands of years. But The moment the issue was brought up they tabled the...

    Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun

    Actually, As a formally trained chef.... I have a clean palate and can taste chemicals, artificial sweetners and oils quite readily. EVERYTHING we eat has a natural list of ingredients they can be made from without going super healthy substituted bean paste or rice/obscure grain flour. I...

    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    I'm not upset... Just standing on the truth that seems to be upsetting you. In today's world where so MANY have become anything but honorable organizations.... The ones that stand firm should be praised. Where I'm not a cheerleader for them or anyone....I have noted that they continue to...

    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    There are many "Ex Salvation Army " people running around....many are given opportunities but fail. They gave the central office lip service and they had no intention of keeping to their promises. They have hope...which is more than most do. Even the SBC (which also has within it several...

    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    Calvinism and universalism are two wildly different theology systems that are incompatible with each other. My guess is that you have had an experience with some fringe group that doesn't represent the Salvation Army itself but individuals claiming their beliefs. And by your own...

    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    From GROK AI The Salvation Army does not deny that Jesus is the only way to God within its official doctrine. As a Christian denomination, it affirms the traditional Christian belief in Jesus Christ as the sole path to salvation, consistent with its evangelical roots. This is reflected in its...

    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    But not all do.... They have an extreme non-denominational stance. But that doesn't mean they deny Jesus is the only way to God. You MIGHT have an odd pastor or two that preaches that....but it's not the norm in my experience. A SA church service is the same as a conservative church's...

    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    Actually I have been to SA church services....almost methodist (before the Methodists went south) Each depends upon the local pastor preaching....some are not very evangelistic in nature. They are careful about appearances of exchanging altruistic services for claims of faith. (Which has...

    Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun

    I just ate some scratch King cake.... It was awesome.... For the impure, everything is impure. For the pure, everything is permissible but not necessarily beneficial. Pick your poison.

    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    Salvation Army doesn't "cook it's books". It's usually on the site and there long after the photo op is over doing the work we expect them to. Just saying. Not a "full gospel" organization. Not charismatic in the slightest....very much a strong proponent of temperance (anti alcoholic...

    Fat Teusday

    Fat Teusday is coming! (March 6th) I'm not Catholic nor do I advocate for the Catholic Church. Now where I do NOT advocate being drunk out on the streets of NOLA....tossing beads to young college girls who raise their blouses to show their mamaries. I am an advocate of those square donuts...

    Is it possible to be SCRIPTURALLY CORRECT AND NOT BE SPIRITUALLY CORRECT?

    This "husband of one wife" has been misinterpreted for decades. Paul was Jewish....so was Timothy and Titus. (Where he said the same thing) Timothy was in Ephesus and Titus in Crete. Both of these cities are obviously Greek/Roman. Now according to Jewish practice and customs polygamy was...
