    I am not new here, but new from today

    The faceinto of Worthy Christian Ministries reveals a posture of prophetic engagement—an epistemic orientation toward influence, intercession, and global reach. It’s not merely a directional glance; it’s a full-bodied immersion into the spiritual and sociopolitical currents shaping faith...

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    Perhaps to those with a flair for the esoteric, but not to those schooled in biblical theology.

    Why was "the Tree" placed in the center of the garden (orchard)

    What group of heretics teach that?

    John 6 Was Jesus speaking literally

    These sort of ad hom fallacies have no substance in logic, and are not "real food" such as the spiritual nourishment obtained from Jesus, He spoke about “real food” in ways that upended conventional definitions—He redefined nourishment not just as physical sustenance, but as spiritual...

    Is anybody listening?

    What about all the PTSD the News causes? Who cares about that? It just keeps invading our peace if we let it. Then the schismatics take over and refuse to be placated. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” (Matthew 5:9) This isn’t just a call to avoid...

    John 6 Was Jesus speaking literally

    Did anyone ever go cannibal and eat the physical flesh and drink the physical blood of Christ? No!.

    A Lot Of Things Have Happened

    A general sense of worldwide spiritual strain and pressure several times in Sunday Evening Services over the years. Sitting in the congregation. Well attended. Songs and notices over. Preaching underway. A subtle change in the lighting, as though visual perception is being acted on. A feeling...

    Can a pastor have depression?

    For edification: Roman Catholicism considers despair a sin primarily because it contradicts the theological virtue of hope and reflects a false understanding of God's nature—especially His mercy, justice, and faithfulness. ️ Theological Basis in Catholic Doctrine According to the Catechism of...

    John 6 Was Jesus speaking literally

    The irony is you can't literally answer your own question

    John 6 Was Jesus speaking literally

    He would have said "Verily, verily, I command you to take my words literally."

    BEWARE OF THE SPIRITUALIZERS HERE

    Fallacies of logic in your post noted, but Christians are definitely exhorted to look forward, as follows: Titus 2:13 “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ”. It’s a radiant expression of Christian eschatological longing—an...

    BEWARE OF THE SPIRITUALIZERS HERE

    Best not to be confused by the tension between the imminence and the cosmic scope in Jesus’ language. Matthew 10:23 — “Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.” Context: Jesus is sending out the Twelve on a mission to preach, warning them of persecution...

    BEWARE OF THE SPIRITUALIZERS HERE

    I'll let the Word of God speak: Joh 20:11-18 But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent down to look into the tomb, (12) and she saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and the other at the feet. (13) “Woman, why are you...

    BEWARE OF THE SPIRITUALIZERS HERE

    Imprisoned

    Here's something to learn: 2Pe 2:4-5 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; (5) And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing...

    Jesus is God

    Because the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit do lots of stuff together. One of the beautiful and profound aspects of Trinitarian theology is the unity and co-operation of the three Persons of the Godhead. In classical Christian thought, especially as articulated in the Nicene tradition, the Father...

    Jesus was not a humanitarian by nature.

    I've faced death on a number of occasions, and braced for it. We have strict Health and Safety laws here so all care is to be taken to prevent death. As I sit at my keyboard now I don't feel the slightest bit afraid of dying. 2Co 5:6-10 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst...
