Christianity wasn't spread by the sword and rape; that's Islam. Christianity is spread by the word. The Europeans were culturally Christians, but not everyone lived it. There are plenty of people who did things in the name of Christianity that were contrary to Christ's teachings. I don't...

If we truly are Christian, we shouldn't see gender through the eyes of "cisnormativity," which is a made-up term, or how the pagans viewed gender. We should understand through the Biblical lens. Biblically, there are only two genders, really sexes, and God made a clear distinction between them...

This is the same intergenerational trauma that is within the black community, and honestly, I think it has become a crutch that has held both groups back, that and government dependency. I get that there were some legitimate wrongs done in the past, but carrying around those grievances from one...

That would imply that Jesus was powerless, which isn't possible. If it were, Jesus wouldn't have been able to resist the devil's temptations. In Luke 4:1, it says the (holy) Spirit led Jesus to the wilderness. I'm thinking this showdown was preplanned. Jesus allowed Satan to give his sales pitch...

If someone wants to off themselves, they don't need a bill to do it. Legislating euthanasia is a slippery slope.

It doesn't tell us much of anything, but we do know it will be used as a form of control, and it's associated with buying, selling, and trading (i.e., commerce). That tells me it's not purely spiritual. With the way the world is going, it's plausible technology will be used in conjunction with...

You have to keep in mind that the Dems are playing the long game. Flooding the country with illegal migrants serves multiple purposes. For one, it changes the demographics of a country. They are filling the country with people who don't share our American heritage or love for this country. Latin...

I didn't say that being against animal abuse is anti-Christian. But, equating animals with humans certainly would be. It seems from your previous comments you are conflating animal abuse with the eating of meat. The two are not synonymous. It's possible to be carnivorous or omnivorous and still...

There are two primary reasons why people are vegans: they believe it's healthier and/or they believe it's ethical. Not all vegans eat for ethical reasons, but many do. If they apply ethics to a diet, then it's an ideology. Whether the ideology came first or the diet came first is irrelevant...

The geography of the pre-flood world was likely different. We know, for instance, that North America and Siberia were once connected by a land bridge, which is how the Native Americans crossed. Go back further, and all the continents were once a supercontinent called Pangea. We can't really know...

My wife is Catholic; I'm non-denominational. Being married to a Catholic requires some compromises, so about two years ago, I went to my first Catholic mass. I have gone to many more since then. My experience is they are much more subdued than what I'm used to. The service is very formulaic, and...

I'm a literalist. I take it to mean what it says it means. God passed by both Moses and Elijah: Exo 33:19 The LORD replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you [Moses]. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion...

Sure, we should. Understanding what those original words mean can provide us with better insights and context for what the scripture is conveying. Otherwise, we’re dependent on what the translations say they mean, which isn’t always precise. Any scripture can be twisted. Romans 13 says...

This is starting to sound like Hurricane Katrina. But because a Dem is in office, it's not getting near as much attention. If it were Trump in office, you can bet the media would be all over it so they could blame him for not handling it.

You're about 500 years too late to make this case. I know Catholics have taken that verse and ran with it, but I don't see a clear sucession, much less turning it into an organization. Jesus is the high priest, the mediator between man and God. We can go directly to Him. We don't need a priest...

I've heard an argument this morning by a YouTuber that Romans 13:1–7 is not about obeying government authorities, and a lot of it seems dependent on which translation one is reading. For instance, many translations say "governing authrorities," while other translations, like the KJV, use the...

God wouldn't need AI to do that, He could do it now. But none of it would change hearts. If hearts are changed, then so too will movies, music, books, etc.

I have researched the Magi before. This is what I previously wrote about them: The Magi were a hereditary priesthood of the Medes within the Persian Empire. They had a priesthood similar to the Levitical priesthood, except they were gentiles. They were skilled in astronomy and astrology and had...

I don't see Israel using nukes unless they were on the precipice of destruction. Now, maybe using a small tactical nuke to take out a bunker during a full-scale war is not out of the question. I don't think we're there yet.

Hello and welcome. What brought you to this realization, if I might ask?
