No need to resurrect this topic.

I've heard that in South Korea there is a proposed law that will allow the government to investigate and even dissolve non-prophet religious bodies, including churches, for being against public interest according to their opinion.

Prayer threads are another matter, this is a testimony. If I can think of a practical concern in prayer threads I will also voice them. But it is more often that they need prayer because man is powerless to help. Posting a long winded prayer is not something I would do. I believe it is...

All because people have itchy ears, listening for what they want to hear. Not realizing what they want to believe is from the soulish desires of their hearts. They don't want to get to know Jesus, they want their own version of him. Someone who is more agreeable.

It is important to address practical concerns. You do not need to see me praise God, that is between him and I.

You assume the ambulance could not make it, but if you call 911 EMS will find a way to get to you.

@Siddhi Koli You saw a vision of the Holy Spirit as a dove. Note how the vision appeared, as God chose the time and place. Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. As a believer in Jesus the Holy Spirit lives within you.

You didn't ask if God is easily offended, but if he can even take offence. Surely he is slow to anger. Psalm 103:8. Also 1 Corinthians 13:5

The disobedience of God's people had caused him to look unfavorably upon their sacrifices. The people thought that their sacrifices would be accepted regardless. They would have been accepted had they shown true contrition and humility.

Some examples of things offensive to God. Isaiah 66:3-4 "3But whoever sacrifices a bull is like one who kills a person, and whoever offers a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever makes a grain offering is like one who presents pig’s blood, and whoever burns memorial incense is...

I think it would be better not knowing than risking offending God.

The only thing being held over your head is a warning that you don't believe. That is hardly the same thing as being threatened with beheading, or even lesser punitive measures.

I remember when growing up the siren at the fire department was used to call in the volunteer firefighters. It's changed since then.

Consider that Jesus doesn't want his followers to be unwilling. There isn't mutual love in such an arrangement. Giving your life to Jesus can't be forced by another. It's like the difference between giving a gift to your loved ones vs paying your taxes. Your heart isn't in the latter. And God...

Free speech also helps to reveal what people really believe, so we can know rather they are someone we may want to associate with.

He has chosen a side.

The borg plays on the zombie movie trope. And zombies are subservient to base desires through an infection which destroys the mind. In reality they serve the whims of a higher molevolent intelligence. They are for all intents and purposes already dead, but they still pose a danger to their...

The borg assimilate against the will of those they invade. God on the other hand doesn't force anyone to follow him.

Breathing in dust from milling is also hazardous to one's health.

I conceptualize it very simply. The dead include anyone who is doomed to destruction. The living includes anyone who either find life in Jesus or holy angels who never fell in the first place.
