We should not and need not abandon the field of evidence to the lost enemies of our Lord. See Psalm 19. In that thread, I made the following points. While faith is the evidence of things unseen, there is evidence to be seen. (In this thread, I want to compile the evidence.) Are you required to...

In today's devotional reading, I came across Psalm 89:38, 51 which speaks of God's anointed. I know Saul and then David were also anointed. Does anyone know how many people in the Bible were Anointed by God?

Below is a compelling video on subtlety and nuance of language that I think is lost on many Americans today who are used to overstatement. Before the Potsdam Conference, America issued a demand for the unconditional surrender of Japan. The US learned this was taken as a threat to the emperor...

Please explain how one is to use the feature "Follow People." Do their posts automatically show up in Alert? Or is there some other way to access their posts using this feature?

In today's devotional reading, I came across this verse. 31 “Shim‘on, Shim‘on, listen! The Adversary demanded to have you people for himself, to sift you like wheat! Luke 22:31 (CJB) According to the NSRV, parallel verses are found at Job 1:6-12, Am 9:9. I find the notion of the LORD giving...

In another thread, a poster remarked how Jesus in Scripture is not always lovable, kind or meek. Our feminized society has profoundly attacked masculinity - even calling it toxic. A pastor once gave a Sermon and said Jesus is the ultimate in masculine in that he sacrificed himself to save...

This is probably the most common expression by Christians that is not in the Bible but is it Scriptural? I've heard strong arguments for and against this and wonder what those in our community think? Here is another article for your consideration. Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin? Why Christians...

This is an amazingly powerful story. An atheist is dying. The Lord shows his mother he is dying. She prays for him to ask God to forgive him. He sees her in a vision her praying for him. His final act in life is to do as his mother prays, he prays with his heart for the Lord to forgive him. He...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this but I found this testimonial fascinating. Activist Milo Yiannopoulos is now ‘Ex-Gay,’ consecrating his life to St. Joseph Milo was always a guy I could not help but like. He is charismatic but lived a live of debauchery. He will be hated as a...

Because I know we all have our Bibles, I will not clutter this post with my preferred translation but only cite the relevant verses. Read carefully Acts 2:38; Acts 8:12; Acts 8:16; Acts 10:48; Acts 19:5; Acts 22:16; Romans 6:3; 1 Corinthians 1:13; Galatians 3:27. Then ask yourself the question...

In another thread I made the statement that in reality, most things are not equal and that (false or artificial or forced) Equality is evil, which is why there is scant reference in the Bible. The Bible emphasizes the importance of the unequal at nearly every turn, i.e., Holy. In the booklet...

Is there a way to change the translation of the Bible when I hover over it or is only one translation available? Not too fond of ye's and thou's, etc, of middle English.

When I go to Biblegateway.com, I came across this verse and wanted to get your take on it. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. 1 John 4:11-12 (ESV) God abides in us...

The paradox. Christianity is Too Hard/Easy. Too Hard. Jesus said adultery is even looking at another with lust in your heart. I doubt anyone can honestly say they never failed this standard. It's hard to make the claim that a standard where everyone fails is a loving standard. What would be an...

The word heresy is thrown around so much as the worst that can be said about another, even Pastor Steve Cioccolanti from Australia said Christians say it over all manner of doctrinal differences. So, he provided the best standard of something that is heresy; that which keeps one from salvation...

what drew you toward Unitarianism? (not to be answered in a single post ...) Trinitarians are so captured by their idolatry, they cannot consider anyone accepting Jesus as their Savior while holding there is only one God who is one being/person. Indeed, the emotion behind the 'man is God thesis'...

Just signed up and see many great topics. For some reason, most of them do not show a reply button. At first, I thought maybe the thread itself was closed. Then I realized that is mostly not the case. So, Why Can't I Reply in Many Open Threads?

Hello All! Was not sure how to identify myself upon registering. Elsewhere orthodox are adamant that only trinitarians can be Christians. I had trouble finding a 'reply' but in other threads, which made me wonder if my registration is complete. Anyway, I look forward to many interesting...
