    Security for Missionaries on the Internet

    I wouldn't trust a VPN so easily, expecially not a large commercial VPN that you see advertised extensively on the Internet. It is probably run or subsidized by intelligence agencies.

    The Mark of the Beast is here!

    Obedience could also be considered worship. We are afterall slaves to the one we obey. And sacrificing our freedom is a kind of worship. Problem with humans though is we don't recognize this so easily. A demon can try to wedge themselves into even mundane aspects of our lives to try and...

    The Mark of the Beast is here!

    Worship has traditionally been associated with sacrifice as well. Abraham concerning his going to sacrifice Issac as a burnt offering. 5.He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.” We can sacrifice...

    Godly Principals in Space-Time

    Can we coexist on the same wordline as Jesus, being that Jesus lived in a different place and time? Not without his Spirit, which ads at least another dimension to the wordline. And then we start to leave the realm of easy comprehension. Being covered and sanctified by the blood of Jesus makes...

    ANTI-Paul live, well & going strong

    Why do some so called Christians reject Paul? I believe it boils down to his teachings on God's Grace. It runs counter to their works based religious beliefs. And instead of testing their doctrines against scripture, they test scripture against their doctrines.

    Do not ask God for forgiveness

    This is the quote in question from Trump I saw in 2020: Trump relates conversation with God about his 'great job' on the economy "You know what that is? That's right. That's God testing me. He said, You know, you did it once. And I said, 'Did I do a great job, God? I'm the only one who could...

    Do not ask God for forgiveness

    President Trump's arrogance has cost him and this country a great deal. He took credit for something God had done, and for this reason he lost the second Presidential election. I remember seeing him admit something to that effect on a video. I hope he has learned a lesson, and some humility at...

    Quality of life for hospice care patients - The morality of assisted "departure"

    When we suffer for the sake of our loved ones I believe that to be Christ-like indeed. Then there comes a time when the suffering is so much that the loving thing to do is pray for the Lord to take them. In my experience time is very short when this stage of dying comes. To preempt a natural...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    In the US there is an option for contentious objectors to do civil service. In WW2 about a third of a percent did so. In Vietnam it was 4.13%, and I would attribute that to the war's unpopularity. It shows that most Christians don't have such convictions about killing. Or a conviction to live...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I believe God has chosen to maintain a balance concerning Israel. Aspirations of conquest by anyone are thwarted eventually. Similarly to Issac, Ishmael was also promised to be a great nation. And Christians are Spiritual co-heirs in Christ from Abraham due to Faith Galatians 3:29...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    It was sitting on the side of the Church I used to go to. Looking closely it appears to portray Jesus on it's back.

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Christians are hated for our allegiance to the real Jesus, whom the world hates. Jesus is hated because the world prefers darkness. In selfishness the people of the world don't want to surrender their will, or be subject to judgement . When the church practices Hypocrisy, does that become the...

    Please note that taking a position contrary to the doctrines outlined in the statement of faith is not allowed for our Christian members. The Trinity, while open to discussion, is not open to dispute, except by other faith members...

    People in Hell are happy

    If someone truly is so isolated as to not be exposed to the gospel their whole lives let us pray God send an angel to minister to them, or that a dream would lead them to search for answers. I doubt many these days have ignorance of the message as an excuse. More likely the social cost is too...

    People in Hell are happy

    I consider God's predestination as in Ephesians 1:5 as being more like foreknowledge. God is able to plan around our decisions. 1 John 2:23 "Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also." This is the snare, that people would...

    WHY ISN'T THIS ANGEL ACCURSED?

    Isn't this Angel preaching what is implied by the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Before we might seek to be forgiven of our sins we should first be convicted of our sins. Which the angel does when saying ''the hour of Judgement has come.' The angel offers no solution to the judgement he announces...
