    Another Prophet Like Moses (Fathers Day)

    The Jews were told to watch out for "Another Prophet like Moses" which we know today was a reference to Jesus. So. How was Jesus and Moses similar other than being Jewish? And by critical analysis they led VERY different lives and lifestyles. Moses had two wives, was guilty of murdering an...

    Why did God give you a husband?

    Can two walk together unless they agree? How about 3? Living without purpose kinda sucks...and two can't work together on nothing.

    United Methodists Lose 1M Members in a Single Day, Council of Bishops 'Grieves' Mass Exodus(After vote to allow gay clergy & ss unions)

    This is yet another instance of leadership being completely disconnected from those they minister to. Servant leadership is obviously NOT what Methodist Leadership is about. That's why the people are leaving. If the sin that the leadership was so uninterested in was stealing....using all...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Polycarp was baptized as a baby and became the Bishop of Smyrna mentioned in Revelations by John who had made him the Bishop.... Take your issues up with John and Polycarp. I'm done. I've explained as best as I can. One Lord One Faith One Baptism

    Have we misunderstood Genesis 1:1?

    I wasn't suggesting that you were....just that some people miss the forest for the trees in the way. The locus is "God created". God didn't find the Earth or the heavens...God created them. Also....God created the beginning is implied but not stated....because there wouldn't be a...

    Saw this on Fox an hour ago. Wonder if it will help or hurt Trump?

    Six degrees of separation.... If they can show either a biological or marital relationship (current or expired) or even some sort of relationship with any juror....it's gonna be even more pain. Everyone has a relationship with everyone...even around the world if you try hard enough. And...

    Have we misunderstood Genesis 1:1?

    They will do literally ANYTHING to try and change the meaning of that verse. And they can't. It's bad enough that they make this a complete sentence when it isnt....but I'm used to that irregularity already. (There is an unstated material for the verb "bara" which needs a material for...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    It's not really a baptism and no denomination treats it as such....not even Catholics. They have "confirmation" at a much later age that the individual must complete on their own. Someone above mentioned it as a "christening"....and that might be a better term than Baptism for you....but we...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    It's a CELEBRATION OF LIFE. Do you not think life needs to be celebrated? The cold water is a lot less harmful than spanking or pinching the baby....and a little ceremony with a pastor is not exactly a horrible thing. Even Jesus took time out to bless children on occasion. (If only I could...

    Can a Bible believing Christian own a Bar?

    I've owned all kinds of bars. Got one that I sit at in my kitchen. I've personally made chocolate bars myself... Eaten I don't know how many Hershey bars and snicker bars. Then there's the iron bars.... Copper bars Steel bars.... Glass bars Plastic bars....

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    Baby baptism to me, It's all about the parents actually training and teaching the child to live a Christian lifestyle....the cold water? Getting the baby to fuss and cry about nothing important....because that crying means LIFE! And it's good to hear.

    Excellent Trump interview by Dr. Phil

    When people find out that Trump doesn't club baby seals or kill kittens for recreation they are shocked. Where Trump is not the most socially emotionally mature person out there...doesn't mean that he is not brilliant or smart. He has his flaws to be sure...but he is not as evil as people...

    Getting personal with each other.

    I'm not exactly sure of what you mean.

    Why supporting convicted felon Trump is unchristian

    Obviously this guy is upset and worried over Politics. As if it's the ONLY thing. The president is only the president for four years....sometimes 8. Not really that important...especially in view of eternity. And because "He" lives I can face tomorrow. He holds the future....not voters...

    The Religious biases of Chat-GPT

    Chat GPT and other "AI" type computer programs are NOT Artificial Intelligence. They are advanced search engines. (With a preferred database to draw upon but still search the internet). Designed to tell you what they think you want to hear. You can access one very simply and easily. Go...

    Why supporting convicted felon Trump is unchristian

    What it is: One of the 50 states decides that they do not like that a particular person is likely to win the next presidential election. So they get a noted liar and thief plus a prostitute to testify as witnesses against the person and lock him up for 100+ years AFTER 2 previous lawsuits aimed...

    Why supporting convicted felon Trump is unchristian

    So... The Atheist OP is wanting to cause division and strife? Over Politics? Versus unity and working together. Why? Both Paul and Moses were murderers. (Paul caused riots) Jacob/Israel was a conman. Isaac was a peddler/farmer. David was a misogynistic philanderer....Solomon wasn't...

    God is probably more than three?

    I know of no church denomination that promotes such a theology. Mostly because people have a difficult time already with the Trinity as it is. Going beyond that is even more difficult....and the craziness of pantheon or modalism takes root. Some popular books already try to promote these...

    God is probably more than three?

    As far as I understand... God has revealed Himself to mankind in three distinct persons but still one. However. After Christians are in Heaven God may reveal more of Himself to Us and the result will be more than three distinct persons...because we will understand more.
