Anyone who murders has underlying problems ... that is not an excuse. Penalties under the law are there to act as deterrence.

Welcome! "G'day" ... you must have spent some time down under :clmSmlx

"Guilty Until Proven Innocent" is a very moving film based on the story of Robert McLoughlin who was convicted of murder. Martin Sheen plays a splendid role as the father determined to prove his son's innocence. Still on Youtube (PG-13) After you've seen a few of these movies & documentaries, I...

1 Cor 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

Big Mama gave me a smack for posting off topic comments so it would be safer to move that discussion to a new thread.

Interesting that some provinces in Canada are looking into seceding.

I think that is an important aspect to evaluating the current situation. I have never read that Trump claims to be a born again Christian ... I have read that he was Presbyterian but now describes himself as a "nondenominational Christian". I am not aware of any evidence that Trump has...

There is an argument one often comes across on forums which is "If you do not agree with my interpretation you are not only wrong, you do not take the Bible seriously". I do not find that to be a cogent argument

My understanding of divorce & remarriage is different but I do not want to derail the thread. In the context of discussing DP, some will judge your conduct as right and some will judge it as wrong. Whichever side one takes, I do not think it allows us to make a judgment about a person's salvation.

I found that article very moving so I did a little follow up looking at the references cited in the Wikipedia article "United States embargo against Cuba: Humanitarian Aspects" While I do not condone any current restrictions on medical supplies, it surprised me that the situation predates Trump...

It would be very hard for a person from a poor family to become a doctor considering your list of prohibitions. However, I think your words "be a part of" may not mean to avoid them altogether but rather, do not participate in the evil aspects of these things. If so, I agree with you.

I can point to many things I disagree with DP about. I can also point to things in her life that reflect Gospel teaching such as a faithful marriage of 66 years. How many Christians have been divorced and remarried contrary to the Word of God? If God says "30 fold", on a scale of 0-100, is an...

Actually I do agree with that. That is where I disagree. For example, children must get an education but all schools are wrong in some ways ... so as parents we choose what is the better option. At that level I think Trump has been better than Harris. What is Babylon? Is it just politics?

When the choice for President was Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, who did you vote for? Or perhaps you do not believe in voting ... I know some Christians do not. How exactly have you come out of Babylon? Is having a credit card being a part of Babylon (as some say). Is it rejecting all...

I do not doubt that was true for you friend, but Paul's first epistle to the Corinthians lays out what these "infants in Christ" were doing wrong, which included drinking to excess (11:21) and tolerating sexual immorality (5:1) . I must base my understanding on what God's Word says not on...

Perhaps you could see your strength as a gift and use it to help others such as disabled people who need a strong person to help them.

Here in my state, 3 men found guilty of murder, have been exonerated in the last 20 years after more evidence came to light. And almost everyone has heard of Lindy Chamberlain who was convicted of murdering her baby. I would rather all murderers were kept in prison rather than one innocent...

Thinking about Cain and noting that "in the beginning it was not so".

I am glad to see you identifying sin according to the Scriptures. We should never justify sin for any reason. But let us remember that baby Christians say and do a lot of things wrong. 1 Corinthians 3:1-2 But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh...
