That's how I see it. You either have certain knowledge or you have faith.

Not an answer to my question. And you making an Appeal to Diversion. We aren't talking about Christian persecution, in general, we are talking about the fact that Christian leaders in Biblical times called out political leaders.

Then your concept of politics is invalid. A political leader threw John in jail because John called him out. The political leader didn't throw John in jail in his personal capacity; he throw John in jail as a power he had as political leader.

Spoken to the masses, not not specifically to leaders, either political or religious? "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? What denial to claim this is NOT directed at political leaders. Outrageous. The Brood of vipers, in your reading are just the multitudes? Yea, right.

You seem to want to dismiss the WHAT for a WHY that you invent. The politics of the people ARE named in that these people are the political leaders of the areas! What are you talking about? And the idea that one only lists political leaders as a means to establish time is dismissed in...

So, universal salvation is proper doctrine?

And I said it is us who must die. Denying we are the one who die is one way to avoid contradicting yourself of us currently possessing eternal life. sml

Those opposed to Christian Nationalism and their claim that God is all about things NOT physical and NOT political are at odds with Luke 3. Excerpts: Listed by name and area of political leaders of the day v1. So important, it is put first in grappling with the soulful needs of the reader...

Their subterfuge reasoning was to treat born in the United States AND subject to the jurisdiction therein As a single requirement rather than 2. The lawyer Andrew Bianca explained the nuance if jurisdictional meaning. Everyone, even those not born here are subject to criminal laws. Even...

Yabut they are victims and asylum seekers, giving good people no choice but to take in their destructive presence. LOL That reminds me of a great book, No More Christian Nice Guy, which observes Christians have abandoned being kind in order to be nice. We can kindly say NO to all the...

I couldn’t hear the words but I could access it otherwise.

Such people must never have read the Bible or heard this little thing called THE WRATH OF GOD.

Thank you for acknowledging people can make choices. Very good! Do you see the Strawman that you created? Since you cannot argue against nationalism, you invoke a supposedly unhealthy variant, “ultranationalism.” At the same time, you invoke Godwin’s law, supposing anyone who wants what’s best...

Judge Jeanine Piro used the expression "sacred monuments." Those who aren't Christian Nationalists, don't understand that.

No. Theology > Scripture, in terms of being more general. All religious texts fall under theology. Even those theologies based on Scripture expand beyond the text. This is why there are doctrinal differences among the various denominations.

I never heard anyone suggest such a thing! No Bible I've ever seen begins the NT with Acts. Just out of curiosity, where did they believe the Gospels fit in, the OT?

@bdavidc, what do you say in response to such verses? What point is there to endure to the end if we are saved if we don't endure to the end?

Came across this in devotional reading today. Who is the author talking to that may have ? Eph 5:5 For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. That's because what...

All this back and forth regarding the claims that Israel is behind the mark of the beast almost distracted me from this thread being about TDS over support for Israel. The closest ally in the world to the US is Israel, PERIOD. It does not mean that there is perfect alignment. It means the...

Never read Roman 13 eh? Before that, there is killing people in faith in action accounts for thousands of years. The Conquest of Canaan, the Judges, Samson, David, etc. The overly-spiritualized replaced God with a sugar and spice and everything nice IDOL.
