Seriously? If there is information, any information, regarding what that new office has accomplished, it would be easily accessible from the major news sources. Many of those sources would jump at the opportunity to make the new office look bad. No one is asking you to praise anyone: just...

Please cite specific examples and public references.

Thank you for your comments. Reminder: 1. religious tests for public office were declared unconstitutional many decades ago. 2. public office holders take an oath to defend our natural rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 3. thus, the personal beliefs of public office holders...

Thank you for your comments. Your opening paragraph is totally off the rails (still) and off topic. No further comments are needed. Re Paula White-Cain: It is irrelevant what her religious beliefs are. She could be a Shinto priest or a Sikh as far as her government job is concerned. The only...

Thank you for your comments. There must be some confusion: you gave examples of how you see the new administration (which remind me of the previous administration). My request is how the new Faith & Community Office (Paula White-Cain) is corrupting as it carries out its duties. Other than some...

FYI: Dr. Alveda C. King serves as the Senior Advisor on Faith and Community Outreach for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). (Which is all well and good, but even I wonder why the USDA would need an advisor on Faith and Community Outreach. Her posts are available on X.) Blessings.

Thank you for your post. What would an on-line Bible Study look like in this forum? Do you have a suggested format and guidelines? Blessings.

Thank you for the comments. Can you provide any examples of actions taken thus far by the new office which are corrupting? Blessings.

Thank you for your post. For Christians, the commandments are Love God and Love Your Neighbor. In Commandments 6-10, God is saying do no harm (and do not even think about it). This is one of the characteristics of Love Your Neighbor (although Jesus put it more positively, in terms of sharing...

Thank you for the post. The White House Faith Office was established this February. Here are its marching orders. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/establishment-of-the-white-house-faith-office/ In particular: “The efforts of faith-based entities, community...

Thank you for your post and sharing your dilemma. If it makes sense for you to share some of the monetary responsibilities with your brother, that warrants prayer, discussion with your family, and discussion with your brother. (Beware guilt trap.) Sending money for cigarettes doesn’t sound...

Why are you chastising this new seeker for coming to this forum with honest questions? Recall Matthew 9:36—When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Peace.

Thanks for posting. Re Honor Your Father and Mother: the unstated assumption is that you should know who your parents are. Together with God’s commandment, “a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife . . .,” God is telling us that husbands, wives, and their families...

Thank you for the astute questions. Yes, many religions contain wisdom and inculcate a culture similar to the Christian Love Your Neighbor like Yourself. The Apostle Paul found that many of the gentiles he met “lived as though the law were written on their hearts” (Romans 2: 14,15; also Acts...

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for your question. Buddhism and Christianity have number of common beliefs, such as kindness, gentleness, avoiding anger & hatred, and humility. But Love of God is central to Christianity, whereas Buddhism is agnostic. For Christians salvation is a gift from...

Thank you for your post. Is it the label “Christian” that is important to you, or is it understanding God’s expectations for you that you are unsure of. Jesus told us there are two great commandments: to love God and love our neighbors? Perhaps it is a thorough understanding and embracing of...

Thank you for the post. Attorney General Pam Bondi is a breath of fresh air in comparison to her predecessor Merrick Garland, who had pro-life activists harassed and fomented a number of other political controversies. The Epstein case is a hiccup. Although the current administrations...

Thank you for commenting. The author? Isn’t the Book of Job God’s word? Peace

It is not clear what our disagreement is at this point. We both agree that our choices influence our individual salvations. We also agree that Revelation describes God’s ultimate plans for humanity. We also should agree that no one person or group or nation can thwart God’s plan. Moreover...

You are rewriting what I am explaining to suit your “God is not sovereign” Theology. So, your idea of Christianity is God cannot possibly have an ultimate plan for all of humanity because free will has the final say? Everyday we make free-will choices—mine are driven by cheerful obedience to...
