    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    That's not quite what I meant.... The Apostles were asking Jesus a theological question similar to the Calvinism vx Arminian questions often debated on this board. (Jesus said "Neither" is correct because the question is incorrectly framed....see the parable of the soils for proper framing)...

    The Prophecy of the Popes or the "Pope is dead, long live the Pope"

    I have watched the Catholics somewhat since before John Paul. (One got voted in but immediately died before John Paul by forgetting to take his heart medication during his inauguration) And the current slate of Cardinals are NOT going to provide in a new Pope what your common rank and file...

    If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac

    It's how Satan ALWAYS gains an edge. Let's look at Joshua 1:8. Three tasks are given to EVERY person. Constantly recite scriptures (Meaning know them from memory) Meditate on scriptures....think about the requirements of God. Understand what scriptures intend for us to understand...

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    Who created life? Who is the Author of perfection? Who created sin/error? Not God's fault at all. It's human error that caused the problems....that error stemming from wanting something different from what God has gifted to you. Meaning what you want is wrong. Try again.

    Pope Francis has died

    Aside the differences between Protestants and Catholics. (Which will never be resolved) Pope Francis is NOT going to be missed by the devout Catholics from the USA or Africa....or even Italy for that matter. There are MANY calls by conservative Catholics for a new ultra conservative pope...

    Could I become a Christian in a year?

    This is still true for some Churches established behind the "Iron Curtain " in the former Soviet Union. (Slovakia) They lived in constant fear and evangelism was an extremely scary proposition. (But commanded by God) To this day they require years of attendance and service before someone is...

    Could I become a Christian in a year?

    Now a person not giving their life and heart but trying to live the lifestyle and fit in with the other Christians? That can take a minute or two. A year might not be enough. Wolves in sheep's clothing take a while to create.

    Could I become a Christian in a year?

    Ummmm It can happen in less than a day. Even in less than an hour. YMMV.

    How many worlds filled with people has God made?

    Ya know? I know people spend time thinking such thoughts... But the reality is that it doesn't matter. The closest planet that possibly contains any sort of life in the form of bacteria is 128 light years away. Which if we were to try to travel to.... If somehow we were to create a ship that...

    Why is burning the Quran a death sentence?

    Unfortunately most of the world believes the old adage "Might makes right". Meaning if you are stronger whatever you want to be right and good is what is right and good. It doesn't matter what it is either.

    Another refinery closed in California which will cause more expensive fuel and maybe long lines for gas

    My grandfather was an electrician and helped wire up the Benicia refinery 50 years ago....it was "shell" refinery at the time. It's seen many fires and explosions since. It's also expanded and increased production capabilities. It's a shame that they are closing it. California is in...

    Describe your day with a GIF or meme !

    My wife does something similar.... She will put on a nice blouse and jewelry but then have on sweatpants. That's if she has meetings....otherwise it's often a houseboat and slippers she works in.

    House of David

    Samuel.... He was a master class in sarcasm and dry wit. He had a biting sense of humor unmatched by anyone. He regularly made people feel stupid for having a lack of faith or doing things appropriately according to the laws. He has zero trouble hearing from God. None whatsoever. And when...

    House of David

    They spent all this money making the series but couldn't afford $20 for some hair dye to make David a red-head? Then there's Jesse as well as David's personalities. The book of Samuel is a limerick of opposites compared. Eli (the high priest) who never bothered to teach, preach, or even...

    House of David

    Goliath himself? Nobody used a spear as a javelin....they were used more as a pike and not a throwing weapon. Then the Armor he wore is completely wrong. Needs more bronze and in smaller pieces.

    House of David

    The series was filmed in Greece instead of Israel or Palestinian territories. It's used some poetic license to flesh out the story. My first thoughts: "At least they aren't all speaking Elizabethan Olde English".

    House of David

    House of David is a "made for Prime Video" series depicting King David in the early years while he was a boy. And I wanted to discuss this series.... The ONLY reason why I am watching it is because members of my Sunday School class have gotten caught up in it. They want to watch David get...

    Musk, Johnson, Vance, Lee, other GOP say Russia will win the war in Ukraine, impossible to lose, time to end US billions to Ukraine

    You need a relationship with Jesus that is very different than the one you currently have.

    Barna Poll: Most Americans - Including Church Members - Reject the Trinity

    Isaiah 6:8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here I am! Send me." Hmmmm

    Pam Bondi : Democrats who used the DOJ for political purposes of harassment in for a Total Nightmare

    Rigid rules make for lousy hiring practices. And that's what it really was about. The previous Administration tried to cover up the tanking economy through massive hiring people and paying for it through debt. It didn't matter what these people did....just that they were hired and given a...
