My wife and I saw this episode in the movie theater and again last night. Powerfully delivered. The actor who plays the Pharisee who hates Jesus did an outstanding job. In his pronouncement, I reflect in this thread. The Chosen does such a good job of bringing the Scriptures to life on a human...

Talked with a fairly new Christian over the weekend. He lived a meth chemist and dealer for a season before coming to Christ. He struggles to forgive himself. So, it got me thinking Can You Truly Love Others If You Don't Love Yourself? Love to hear your thoughts.

Was introduced to @Pancho Frijoles yesterday. He wrote several times to several poster about elaborating in the Interfaith Forum. Turns out, it seems I don't have sufficient privileges to post there. Maybe things changed with the new ownership a couple of years back. Is there a place, besides...

I've heard this expressed too many times. It seems many American churches do not want to offend, have succombed to politica correctness. They express this as wanting to be known for what they stand for not what they stand against. Isn't this really the same thing? Aren't churches making...

OK. This is a bit of a rant. I'm about sick of all these threads that bash on denominations whose doctrines aren't widely shared. At least 3 denominations are routinely targeted here: JW, LDS & SDA. I pray this thread may transform this community from theoreticians to putting into practice the...

Just read 2 Chronicles 34:3, where King Yoshiyahu sought after the God of David his father. In fact, David was an ancient ancestor by then. USE OF LANGUAGE. How far do we take this? And why not Abraham?

This is a thread I've wanted to start for a long time. Merriam Webster defines blasphemy as the act of claiming the attributes of a deity, which necessarily means when we say we have Christ in us, we are making a blasphemous statement. And we are certainly limited. Yes, Scripture says that with...

Colossians 3:12 points out that we too are chosen by God. John 1:12 says that we too are sons and daughters of God. So, while Jesus was the only son of God, as all firstborns are, he is no longer the only son of God. There is a vid that expands on this. I might be able to dig it up if...

I confess this OP is a challenge to our humility. Have we turned our Lord into an IDOL by holding fast to manmade doctrines that cannot withstand scrutiny? Our Lord and Savior is a man, not a doctrinal idol, yes? Most people, including Christians are exceedingly weak in logic. In this thread, I...

I've been wondering what the CyB community feels is their favorite Gospel - and why. For most of my life, my favorite was Matthew. When I began to read the Bible daily, I picked Luke for its non-Jewish orientation. Lately, I've come to apreciate the active Gospel of Mark. When I read John, I...

A week after the funeral, I am traveling out of state to help my aunt prepare the house to be sold. I say this is her husband, which was technically my uncle but she married him after I was grown and living out of state. So, I only met him a few times. Obviously, close to my aunt, this will be...

In Christendom, Nothing Is More Totally Wrong on Every Level Than … the idea of unconditional love. I was reminded of this error in a small group at church last week. A woman was sharing her relationship with her son. She spoke out of both sides of her mouth. Paying lip service to loving her...

I’ve been wanting to post this for over a month now. There are many reports of miracles in the Israel-Hamas war. A video explained the biggest miracle was the 5,000 rocket attack, itself. The reason is that Iran was planning a coordinated attack through 5 proxies, including Hezbollah, Syria...

Although I have not fully absorbed the Tucker interview of Putin, I wanted to document a few take aways. Brilliant. Tucker said Putin has encyclopedic knowledge of Russian history. Agreed. His analysis from the 9th century on was nothing short of brilliant. Another poster observed Biden would...

I was driving home and realized this is an unbelievable part of the Bible; how little is written about Jesus 40 days after being resurrected. If anything deserved to be logged, it is every exchange with Jesus from the time he was resurrected until his ascension. What do we have is few of his...

Can anyone explain why the world's biggest State sponsor of terrorism gets away with it? Compare the moral clarity America had during the Cuban missile crisis. JFK said the US will consider a strike by Cuba to be an attack by Russia and will respond against Russia with the full arsenal of...

In today's devotional reading, I finally connected the point of confusion on this point. I always thought Satan was our accuser (Zechariah 3:1) until I read Jesus say in John 5:45 that Moses is our accuser. Can anyone straighten this out so I can understand?

My wife and I are both in our second marriage. Our first spouses are still alive. Are we adulterers?

After WWII people to be doctors, engineers and scientists. Now the person of the yea award goes to an entertainer! The parallels to the fall of the Roman Empire grow. Thoughts? https://www.oann.com/newsroom/taylor-swift-named-person-of-the-year-by-time-magazine/

IF January 6th was actually an insurrection by the American people at the Capital Building, why wouldn’t every one on planet Earth have copies of all the videos available? Instead, Congress lost the tapes shutting down investigation. Jan. 6 Committee Tapes Have Disappeared, Says House...
