I think ultimately its a matter of decernment in the spirit. The good fruits of the spirit which can only be seen with the spirit of Christ in a persons heart that allows them to see and hear what others cannot see and hear. Or see and hear with a particular spirit and disposition. One beiong...

I think those verses are plain and simple and tell the truth. Paul emphasised this time and time again and warned againt alternative gospels. The important point is that on believing the gospel a person is born again of the spirit and no longer a slave to sin and the flesh. In that sense we...

For me one sign or perhaps an insight into the gospel being diluted is in how it has gradually become the same as the world. The world has not conformed to the gospel but the gospel has conformed to the world. Simple as that. For most of history western cultures have adhered to biblical norms...

Calling Isreal a State is loaded with political ideology. It implies Statehood and this comes from political ideology. The same ideology that demands other States as a matter of simply declaring so. A rights based political ideology. Similar to individual and group rights. Which is based in...

I cannot see any reason why the LGBTIQ+ community cannot be saved. Just like anyone who may be inclined to live a certain way that is contrary to Gods laws. Part of being saved in the transformation of the mind and living in the spirit rather than the flesh. Even sins of the flesh such as...

It seems at present we have a natural and practical response to the evil terror that has been inflicted on the world in recent decades. It was inevitable that radical Islamist ideology was always going to be fullfilled. Radical Islam comes naturally out of its logical conclusion from the...

Despite all the doom and gloom and prophesy what is happening with Iran is a natural and logical progression of what has been happening in recent decades with the growth of Islamist terrorism. Radical Islam has been growing for some time and we have seen the terror inflicted on the world. It...

I think "Truth" is different to an objective fact within the physical world. Such as with empirical sciences. Though it becomes less clear with say psychological facts compared to the hard sciences. But a truth seems to occupy a transcedent aspect such as morality or experiences and intuition...

Thank you. This really describes the current situation with the church and living as Christians today.

I think social media also changed things radically and the follow on with Ai. This is where I think thing will really get strange and scary. If people were not sure about the truth as opposed to a lie or reality as opposed to unrealities. Then the next few years I think are going to change...

Electing a Muslim and Marxist as a Mayor is the natural and logical and inevitable situation that will happen under a free democracy. Free democratic western nations have had in power secularists for decades who support and promote anti Christian ideas like abortion, SSM, greed, lust, pride and...

I think highlighting how the Sabbath has become a token law that is compromised to suit modern ideas is a symptom of the overall compromise of the church and Christians today. The world has progressed and has become such a powerful force that is readily available at a whim to bring comfort and...

Not even Little Nicky lol. I heard a commentator mention in relation to how sin and the devil have been made cool. If Satan was around he would probably be a very popular influencer on social media and even be celebrated. Some modern churches would invite him for a Ted Talk. I don't doubt this...

Yes if someone came along and was doing miracles and supernatural feats anyone would be shocked and suddenly believe there is a god or alien or something beyond them and bow down. The old saying "I will not believe until I see" comes to mind in how people want the evidence before them before...

This suggests that the coming false Messiah will appear very much like Christ that he can fool even the elect. I think any person that would come along and was able to do miracles or supernatural feats would convince a lot of people by that alone. Or at least scare them enough to go along. By...

I don't think its doctrinal. At least the core message of the Gospel. You have to remember Christianity was growing pretty fast and the bible had not yet been completed. There were letters and fragments around. But primarily it was the Gospel. The Gospel transformed people as the spirit of God...

I think this is treating salvation like a contract rather than a relationship and transformation. The person is born again of the spirit. So they have renewed their minds and the values of this world are like fools gold. But more importantly the person saved knows this as they no longer want...

When you consider that basically targeting Christians in the end times or any group requires a radical flip of the basic principles the west had lived by. Then this is a gradual process where the climate is created where such things become acceptable. Not just acceptable but in the minds of...

This is a good way to look at things. I have always taken a more holistic view where no aspect of humans or life is completely dominant. A more inter related and reciprical relationship. I agree that what you tern 'Necessity' is related to human agency and choice and this has been completely...

To me its a bit like when churches were condemning Christian rock. Its the devils music. Yet music itself is God given. Its more a matter of who is being honored ultimately. Using a particular prism to see Christianity is going to be different to different cultures and even generations. Back...
