    "Pushing the Homosexual Agenda"

    I don't like being around sin, and especially those who revel in their sin. This would include being around Homosexuals, murderers, drunkards, thieves and the like. If you are... you would be miserable in Heaven! The actual percentage of Homosexuals consists of 3% or less of the population. Why...

    "Pushing the Homosexual Agenda"

    What in my post ever said anything about Homosexual Perverts not being allowed to be open? The "measured response" of Christianity is merely an equal push-back to homosexuality being forced down our throats! Our Children are being brainwashed to accept it, and embrace it as natural! This is not...

    "Pushing the Homosexual Agenda"

    Why don’t we see a concerted effort in society for a Drunk Agenda? Where is the push in Congress to abolish all Laws against driving intoxicated? Should we excuse Liars because that is their “orientation”? If the argument that “all sins are the same” excuses or minimizes the sinfulness of...

    Who do you think will win Trump or Biden or Kanye?

    Biden is going to win! Or, perhaps he said that he was going to lose... he said so! Biden said that he was going to beat Biden!

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    By heredity we are created fallen since Adam Fell. God does not consider our birth a sinful act. There is no sinful act that we are counted as doing.

    Christian Ignorance

    My wife and I both have our Bible open while the Preacher gives his message. We freely write notes and point out supporting or opposing Scriptures. We never thought anything of it until one day as were talking with the the Pastor asked us what we were doing. We must have rattled him! :confused...

    Christian Ignorance

    I do not think that ignorance is limited to just Christians. I understand the principle that you are trying to get across. For most centuries, the Scriptures were not all that available to the common man. Most people were illiterate. While some may have limited light, that does not mean that...

    Christian Ignorance

    A modification of Augustine: Bible truth is shallow enough that a babe in Christ can splash around and be completely safe; and so deep it could drown an elephant.

    Christian Ignorance

    Ignorance is Bliss! Knowing is not always comfortable! The more someone knows, the more they see that there is so much more out there that they do not know! When I lived in ignorance and bliss, I thought that I knew a lot!

    Christian intellectualism

    Perhaps you should not comment and try to make it go that way!

    Christian intellectualism

    Keep in mind that I came from the perspective of an ardent Atheist. Call it caution, call it being anal-retentive :confused:... I see no benefit from believing something, especially basing my life and existence on something that is not true. One saying that has stuck in my vocabulary" "There...

    Christian intellectualism

    When I was introduced to Christ, and God convicted me and drew me to Himself, I received His gift of salvation. This was my experience. I was an Atheist before, slowly brought to be short period of less than a month as an Agnostic, and then became a Christian. To say at that moment I was a...

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    A wrong understanding of (S)overeignty demands that "Because you are Sovereign God, I demand that you have to do things the way I think a Sovereign God HAS TO ACT!"

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    For hundreds of years we had the King James Bible as our primary source in English. Yet, not one time did the King James call God "Sovereign." I would ask any theologian how they could build an entire system of belief, making everything hinge on Sovereignty, when the Bible never said such a...

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    I believe that this can be brought to the middle where it aligns with Scripture. The two sides are: A).God must act for man to respond. He must precede with grace. B). Man must respond and is not a passive victim in salvation. One side sees all grace as coercive, the other side sees...

    Christian intellectualism

    We are seeing the extremes in the argument stated here. We have: A). Those that resist knowledge thinking that there is something spiritual and virtuous in "simplicity." This is the hinge-pin of their "theology." B). There are some I am sure that have a lot of knowledge, perhaps never being...

    Christian intellectualism

    Describing how something works in detail is describing the "mechanics" of it. Go ahead, be suspicious... ignorance is no virtue.

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    "A mother conceives an unaccountable antipathy to her sucking child. She goes to the brink of a precipice, bends herself over it with the passive infant in her bosom, and, withdrawing her arms from under him, drops him upon the craggy side of a rock, and thus he rolls down from rock to rock...

    Saved Or Predestined ???

    As for as Levi "paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak.." Is similar to the passage in 1 Corinthians 15. Abraham is a representative of the physical and spiritual line of Abraham, we are (the whole race of mankind) the physical and spiritual descendants of Adam. In the case of Levi, he was...

    Christian intellectualism

    The irony that I have experienced is that those Churches that speak negatively about denominations and theology, are the most divisive and separate in the Christian Community, and the amongst the most theologically-driven Churches I have known. One can label being intellectual as something bad...
