Thank you for a rather limiting definition of “immortal.” Does it make any sense to speak of God, and God alone, as immortal? Will God gather us to Him until He decides to cast into oblivion? (Interesting questions, but surely not giving anyone anxiety.) Exodus 3: 13 Moses said to God...

Thank you for your reply. Surely these missionaries would have gone elsewhere if God thought they should be elsewhere. We find it difficult to understand why God has assigned us particular lives with particular tasks. Part of the problem is that although God will help us understand WHAT we...

Thank you for joining in. Actually, David “inquired of the Lord” a number of times, sometimes with the help of a priest (umin and thummim?), sometimes in an unspecified way. See, e.g., 2 Samuel 2. Blessings.

Thank you for your interesting post. In 1 Samuel 16, God said He had not only rejected Saul but He was going to anoint someone else. On the other hand, David said repeatedly he would not lift a hand against Saul, because Saul was the Lord’s anointed. Did David not know God had rejected Saul...

Thank you for your post. Aren’t we told these immigrants snuck in to the U.S. just for a better life? Aren’t many just neighbors escaping persecution? Is it possible the “open borders” crowd is being dishonest? Satan: clever as always. Blessings.

Thank you for your post. So: do we need government to pass laws to keep people from hurting themselves, or (with the help of the Holy Spirit) should we instead persuade people to turn to God (and treat their bodies as temples to the Lord)? Our constitution is based on our natural rights—life...

Thank you for your post. Do you suppose any of the false prophets decried by Jeremiah, Matthew, etc. were funded by the establishment priesthood? Blessings

Thank you for your interesting post. ”Honey, this marriage isn’t working for me. The sooner you pack and leave the better.” Chutzpah on steroids. Blessings.

Thank you for your post. So far, all of the alleged raids into schools, churches, and hospitals have turned out to be false. But can a wanted criminal alien take indefinite refuge in one of those places? No. (This is an old trick of the power-hungry at the expense of even their own people...

Thank you for your persuasive list. Note: often, on X, I may choose to view the comments on a dishonest post. These precepts should also apply when deciding to support those comments favorably or not at all. By the way, Jesus also called out specific groups as hypocrites. (“Woe to you...

Thank you for your post and great message. You might get some grief for saying that people of the world who don’t know Jesus will be judged by their works, but I agree. Consider also Romans 2: 14,15. The Apostle found gentiles who practiced Love Thy Neighbor (although they might have used...

Thank you for replying. A new criticism! If one posts a link about a current event, take a stance! (In the past, no matter what my comment was, either 6 members told me I needed to study my Bible more, or there were zero comments.) So: Until VP Vance brought it up, I had never heard of “ordo...

Thank you for your reply. This topic and what he said are easily found in a simple search, but OK, here is one of many posts: https://dailycitizen.focusonthefamily.com/vice-president-vance-and-a-call-for-good-public-theology/ Peace.

VP J D Vance has unabashedly put a discussion of Love Thy Neighbor in the spotlight. The theme: “ordo amoris.” Comments? https://classicallyhomeschooling.com/ordo-amoris/ Blessings.

Welcome to our forum. We hope You will find the discussions about scripture and also about current events Valuable. Note: God’s expectations for us can be summarized in two (great) commandments: Love God and Love Your Neighbor. Questions: What does Loving God mean to Hindus? (Or is there an...

Thank you for your post. According to our President’s remarks: if alien criminals are incredibly dangerous (like terrorists, for example?), and there is a danger to Americans that after release in their home country, they might re-enter, then they will detained indefinitely at Guantanamo (with...

Thank you for your reply. You are in good company with Dawkins and Woody Allen, who believe that when they die, whatever it is that animates our bodies, thinks, and converses with others, vanishes like smoke. Your Old Testament quotes all point to our bodies returning to the earth. But what...

Thanks for your post. Help me understand why every war has been a religious war. Self-Centered Autocratic leaders typically desire more and more power (control), prestige, and wealth, all for themselves. They might consult religious authorities for a risk analysis (!), and they might cloak...

Thank you for your question. For me, no, but I can see why some would do so, and even prefer to do so. Singing enhances the emotional impact of prayer. It will allow us to pour out our hearts to God. Example: take any favorite hymn, recite the words out loud with as much emotion as you can...

Thank you for your post. Are we headed toward the end of the world as we know it?* This is not a new theme. The cure for anxiety upon hearing such news is to put one’s trust in God, completely. *Actually, until President Trump was clearly headed for victory, the Biden Administration appeared...
