Deeper truths can't always be grasped right away, especially when it comes to spiritual matters. Jesus said a lot of things about his death and resurrection that his apostles didn't understand at the time, though they would later. I believe this was strategic. 1 Corinthians 2:8 says, "None of...

That doesn't seem to work out so well.

What comes next is more reparations. The allure of free money is too great. Once that can of worms is opened, it will never end. The only ones who truly deserved reparations were the slaves themselves, but that moment has long since passed.

Moral laws are universal. If something was morally wrong in the Old Testament, like murder or theft, it's still wrong today. I'm not quite sure where you're coming from. Your profile says Christian. May I ask how long you've been a Christian and what exactly you believe? It might help in how I...

No, I'm not saying that all. How did you draw that conclusion?

How would we know about Jesus, his death, and his resurrection if not for the Bible? How would we know about God, His character and attributes without the Bible? How would we know what is true or not without the Bible? How could we test the spirits without comparing and contrasting it against...

It's a little confusing, but I think I have the solution. It takes a careful reading of the sequence of events. Mark 11 seems to be the more complete version, so I'll start with that. Note that Jesus and the apostles visit Jerusalem on three consecutive days: Visit 1 (Mark 11:1–11) Jesus and...

It would still be within the apostle's lifetime. I imagine the apostles wouldn't have recorded it right away, as they didn't recognize the need for it. But as Christianity grew and they got older and faced their own mortality, it would have seemed prudent to write it down. It's ultimately...

Saving democracy by destroying it. They accused Trump of election interference for daring to question the 2020 election. Yet, they have been interfering with this election since Trump announced he was running again. They're not even subtle about it. I've said before, if Trump wins, those same...

Wouldn't we expect this to be the case if the accounts were true? It would be more suspect if the accounts didn't match up. In truth, we don't know for certain when the gospels were written, and these sorts of things are always open to debate. Most liberal scholars don't believe in the Bible...

You might want to check out Dr. Michael S. Heiser's work on the divine council if you haven't already done so. Calling them gods is somewhat missleading. We view gods from a modern western lens, not from an ancient Near East perspective. Polytheism can be defined as more than one god who vies...

They always telegraph their moves.

That's if you believe Covid was really as bad as we were led to believe; I don't. I certainly don't agree with the way it was handled. Either way, we were essentially following Communist China's playbook on dealing with a pandemic. It's something that was never done before in the West on such a...

How then do we reconcile God commanding a human army (the Isralites) to kill everything that breathes (Deu 20:16)? Yes, this was under the Old Covenant before there were Christians, but God Himself said He changes not (Mal 3:16). Even some early Christians, such as Saint Augustine of Hippo and...

I would define persecution as the use of physical force against someone's belief system. I think what many Christians experience in the West is more discrimination than outright persecution. But discrimination usually leads to full-on persecution if left unchecked.

Same; I was picked on and harassed throughout my school years. One of my bullies was way smaller than me. I was always taller than average, but I was the shy, quiet type, so I never fought back. I remember once he ran away from home, so he must not have had a good home life and took it out on me...

True, but I would note that Jesus never called himself a friend of tax collectors and sinners. He's just quoting the criticism that the Pharisees and other religious leaders were saying about him. He also called Judas a friend as he was about to betray him when clearly he was no friend: Matthew...

I would make a distinction between violence and self-defense. Violence is the use of force to harm someone else, while self-defense is the use of physical force to protect oneself from harm. This ties in with the sixth commandment: thou shalt not murder. Again, a distinction must be made between...

These are difficult passages to reconcile with. On an individual level, it is how we should treat our enemies. Vengence is the Lord's, and for good reason. He can handle it; we cannot. I would note that it doesn't say how we should pray for our enemies. The saints who are marytered in Revelation...
