Boy, you could feed a lot of starving kids with $66M. And prevent the Vitamin D deficiency that will surely result from dimming the sun—which they're not very likely to succeed in doing anyway. strs

I couldn't agree more, Sister! I read posts here that I really want to respond to, but so often it seems I'm barely speaking the same language as some folks. People quote me and respond with answers to questions I haven't even asked. The big isolator seems to be Christ, Himself. Start a...

I'm so glad that Jesus took the pain for us, so we can identify with Him and He with us, which makes the pain so much more bearable. The refiner's fire is thus a genuine part of the "easy yoke" and the "light burden" of Christ. It is by faith only. But it is not masochism. He has said that in...

The words that Christ speaks, they are Spirit, they are life. If we don't realize and internalize them as such, we are dry, formal, dead bones. If what we love most is to be accurate and correct about what His words say, so that we can correct others and hope to win arguments with them, we are...

I don't disagree with this in any substantive way. I also don't see how it addresses what you've quoted from me. Either there is a counterfeit for the genuine love of the Bible or there isn't. Either way, it's a person's prerogative to believe as they wish. I'm not interested in coercing...

This is where we have a definite divergence of views and I have to agree with this: However, having said all that, This is a gross misunderstanding. Idol worship involves counterfeit love. Some of the meanest people I know say they love the Bible. It is quite possible to have a Spiritless...

Within whose reason? strs

It's okay, though, because he hates other bad stuff. Christianity is, for most people, all about finding something to attack and criticize. You ask these people what they think of Jesus, and you can easily make out the sound of crickets chirping. It's like this: Matthew 22:41-46 NKJV —...

You added the word "once." It's what you want to believe, regardless of what is true. You are an expert in evil surmising. Luke 9:54-55 NKJV — And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as...

I think it's interesting to note that Christ expected "the teacher of Israel" to understand new covenant regeneration (John 3:10). Kind of a fly in the ointment of dispensationalism. strs

This is, as @St. SteVen has said, really great stuff! I believe we really need to be reminded to let God out of our tidy little boxes. It's immensely interesting to me that Jesus said "When you are converted/returned" (Like 22:32) to Peter—who had been by His side for 3 years. This tells me...

John 17:3 — “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." Are you saying that the less we know about God, the better? (rhetorical question, right?) :p

Antisemites can call me a Zionist all they like, but I make a definite distinction between the Israeli government and Jews as a people or religion. And conspiracy theories are like rectums: Everybody's got one and... :

'We simply hate them with our thinly-veiled words,' am I right? :

Ever read "Adversus Judaeos," by chance? :

Ah, we're getting to the point now, aren't we? :

Simple answer— Nazi Germany kept extraordinarily meticulous records (documents, film) of their crimes and expanded their system so widely, geographically, that they were conquered by defenders from afar (including even the USSR) and the voluminous behemoth of their records were discovered and...

Just spend more time beholding it. strs

No one is forbidding anyone to do anything. There's nothing for demons or tares to enjoy here. :

Some folks have larger, more nuanced concerns that can't be reduced to an all-or-nothing logical fallacy. Love sometimes compels people to do/be the best they can for Jesus rather than keep their eyes open for loopholes to justify their carnal desires. :
