Within a week or so we will be putting up our tree. Will be decorating it with both Christian and secular Christmas items such as candy canes and lights. Why? Because it is harmless. It may have meant something thousands of years ago, but today... However, I am willing to rethink my...

-- Because being "rich" doesn't mean you made your money illegally, "crushed the little man" to get it, haven't done your part, or don't deserve what you have earned. Yes, there are some dirtbags, but as I said, there are scores who earned what they made and pay their fair share in taxes. The...

And just because "new information" is "discovered" does not mean that that information is accurate. The Gospel of Thomas speaks of Jesus (as a young boy) using his powers to kill children who made him angry or upset him. Was Thomas an actual figure? Of course. Does this "Gospel" dovetail in...

-- Complaining about something like that without providing a viable alternative is self-defeating. And the whole "redistribution of wealth" (translation: socialism) has never worked, although it has been tried many times. Taking money from those that have earned it in order to give it to those...

-- Barack Obama may be a lot of things - in my opinion, most of them negative for this country - but he is NOT the Anti-Christ. That opinion is supported neither by Scripture or simple common sense. But if you wish to make a case, great. If not, then don't expect people to believe it just...

-- Actually, God said that HE would not be mocked. His prophets occasionally mocked those who opposed Him, and He didn't seem to have a problem with it. In 1 Kings 18, Elijah mocked the 450 prophets of Baal: "It came about at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, "Call out with a loud voice...

Legend has it - although there is absolutely nothing scriptural to support it - that Simon of Cyrene was a black man.

The Catholic church: - Says that if a priest blesses bread and wine, it becomes the ACTUAL body and blood of Jesus. This although actual tests show this does not happen and the Bible says Jesus died for our sins once and for all. - Says that you can pray to dead people in order to curry...

Hath the reasonable parameters of an understandable question been discarded?

-- There has been talk of adding India to the Security Council, which makes perfect sense given its size, population and business impact on the world. Since there is now a "European Union" a rep. from the Union should replace both France and the UK at the table.

The flip side of that is, the less freedom there is for Christians, the less opportunity to witness and save as many people possible before Christ's return. That is, after all, our mandate, no?

If you want a snapshot of what is coming for Christians, read the book "The Criminalization of Christianity" by Janet Folger. Things we take for granted now are already being turned into criminal offenses.

America is indeed on the decline. What was once the greatest nation on earth, as well as the biggest creditor nation on earth is now falling into third-world status. This will not get better, only worse. The very fact that prophesy never eludes to a nation that can even accidentally be...

-- It comes down to this: A. You don't know very many Christians and you are judging the whole group by the few B. You are guilty of judging Christians in the same way Muslims complain they are being judged C. You really have no idea whatsoever who God is. D. All of the above I vote 'D' My...

-- The people of Israel are God's chosen people. God said he would never leave them or forsake them. He also promised that in the end times he would restore Israel - which He has obviously done. You are correct, Teamventure. Buzzfruit seems not to want to accept these simple truths.

You are correct Angelina, I was indeed referring to you. My mistake completely. Thank you so much for your latest post. I truly appreciate the historic backfill on the topic. Definitely provides a little more clarity. Vengle, excellent scripture. I had forgotten that one. .

Actually, I have to disagree with both of you, Rachel and Aspen. "Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” - Gen 11: 4 The attempt - at least...

"Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick...

-- Wanting to look good, for yourself, your spouse or for your job does not automatically equal 'vanity.' It has to do with the level of priority or degree of importance you put on it. If it makes you feel superior or you only find your self worth through it, THEN it is an issue. You are...
