    Why I love the Bible

    —Not reading much love in your response. 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies . . . 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the...

    having shoulder surgery 10 Sept, please pray

    May God comfort you, strengthen you, and sustain you throughout the procedure. May He be with the doctors and nurses, to guide them accurately during the same. And may God touch you with enhanced healing afterward. Peace Be With You.

    Who Wrote Psalm 72?

    Some commentators say that King Solomon wrote this Psalm; others say King David. If it is Solomon, why is it written in 3rd person (or.is this a translational artifact)? Note the requests to be true to God’s Commandments (sounds like David), but also for more territory and wealth (sounds like...

    We've Grown More Outside of Church

    Thank you!! (From a former regular church attendee.) Only one addition: being able to discuss scripture in this forum has been an excellent way to understand the Bible more thoroughly and to verify one’s interpretations. Blessings.

    The Ukraine situation

    Thanks for the question. The only leverage against Russia is economic. President Trump’s deal typically involve carrots and sticks, but whether that will make a near-term difference is difficult to say. Europe may be content to buy weapons from us and give them to Ukraine. Blessings.

    Congressional Districting: Is there a Christian Recommendation?

    My mistake, but it would seem Congress would need to legislate such a body, which would usurp the power of the states. Etc. Blessings.

    Congressional Districting: Is there a Christian Recommendation?

    Sounds like the right approach, although I dislike having Congress take over what states were empowered to do. Would SCOTUS say that would violate the 10th Amendment? Blessings.

    In the OT, God said do not eat the pork.

    Thank for the question. At one time, chickens etc. were killed by wringing their necks (but perhaps that is breaking their necks, rather than strangulation). Might be an interesting research project. Blessings.

    Seven questions to ask yourself before posting

    Interesting analogy. But isn’t it more a microcosm of humanity at its worst and best? The shameless spew lies continually, while the honest chastise and correct. Evil would prevail against Good if it could; wistful Good yearns to vanquish Evil once and for all. The proponents of godless...

    In the OT, God said do not eat the pork.

    Thank you for the question. During OT times, pigs were possibly infected with Trichinosis, a parasite that humans do NOT want. Blessings.

    Congressional Districting: Is there a Christian Recommendation?

    In the news this month, much heated discussion over Congressioanl redistricting and perverse gerrymandering. Politicians at loggerheads, all declaring “an eye for an eye, . . . .” That is Old Testament speak. What would Christians recommend as a fair solution? (Note: not interested in the...

    Explaining the Lord's Prayer

    Thank you for your comments. Regarding Matthew 6:12– “For give us . . .” ; an unstated assumption is that God demands we take responsibility for our actions, including our mistakes. Inadvertently harming someone or some thing is part of human existence, but it can be forgiven if we freely...

    The White House needs Biblical Christianity.

    Seriously? If there is information, any information, regarding what that new office has accomplished, it would be easily accessible from the major news sources. Many of those sources would jump at the opportunity to make the new office look bad. No one is asking you to praise anyone: just...

    The White House needs Biblical Christianity.

    Thank you for your comments. Reminder: 1. religious tests for public office were declared unconstitutional many decades ago. 2. public office holders take an oath to defend our natural rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 3. thus, the personal beliefs of public office holders...

    The White House needs Biblical Christianity.

    Thank you for your comments. Your opening paragraph is totally off the rails (still) and off topic. No further comments are needed. Re Paula White-Cain: It is irrelevant what her religious beliefs are. She could be a Shinto priest or a Sikh as far as her government job is concerned. The only...

    The White House needs Biblical Christianity.

    Thank you for your comments. There must be some confusion: you gave examples of how you see the new administration (which remind me of the previous administration). My request is how the new Faith & Community Office (Paula White-Cain) is corrupting as it carries out its duties. Other than some...

    The White House needs Biblical Christianity.

    FYI: Dr. Alveda C. King serves as the Senior Advisor on Faith and Community Outreach for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). (Which is all well and good, but even I wonder why the USDA would need an advisor on Faith and Community Outreach. Her posts are available on X.) Blessings.

    Attending group Bible studies

    Thank you for your post. What would an on-line Bible Study look like in this forum? Do you have a suggested format and guidelines? Blessings.

    The White House needs Biblical Christianity.

    Thank you for the comments. Can you provide any examples of actions taken thus far by the new office which are corrupting? Blessings.
