Welcome Avalon1! I didn't know that you're a new member such as myself. I suppose we shall live and grow as we develop on this forum. Have a wonderful day! Yours in Christ ... :)

Indeed it is, farouk! It is amazing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, and as we have become partakers of his fullness, we can live again in him! Life and love is far better than death and hatred. There is too much death and hatred in the world by those who are obdurate in...

It is a distant ancestor of a dear brother in Christ. His face and eyes reflect life-long suffering, don't they? I think that I shall endeavor to give witness to Christ and crown and complete that man's suffering so that the full meaning of that suffering will not be lost, but will be for a...

Thanks Avalon1, Waiting on him, and Helen! Thank you for welcoming me to the forum. I hope that this place shall be a blessing for me and that I may be a blessing to you all!

Thank you for the welcome, theophilus! May you have a good day in Christ!

This speculation of JFK is interesting, Nancy and farouk. Perhaps the time has passed for non-historians to consider it until the matter has been determined by scholars who've submitted their conclusions to peer review. JFK was a sinner, and did suffer that frailty of the flesh that we are all...

I would agree, Nancy. To speak the truth does endanger one, but this is always the case of those seeking to follow the Lord. It's too bad that there was the sin in his life. He ended his life well with the sum of his deeds outweighing the evil that existed in his personal life. May we all...

Some say, farouk, that American society began to unravel at that point. In the hearts of many, the lusts of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life waxed strong in many. And many began to abandon charity and many nominal Christians began to abandon charity in Christ in favor of...

I'm still trying to figure out all the buttons and feature of the forum. I'm sorry that I'm not indicating 'likes' as I ought. I wish to assure you all of my good will and will seek to improve my presence here. :)

Amen, Nancy! JFK was reluctant to get involved in Vietnam. It's too bad that that tragedy happened.

Amen, Amadeus! I've seen some of your autobiography on another thread and am happy that the Lord has been with you. I'm sure many shall consider it a mark of wisdom that you've had a long, and no doubt wonderful marriage. Our marriage in the Lord is another mark of wisdom, as with all wisdom...

It seems that it is more than that, aspen, in that many MAGA folks accept Ayn Rand's doctrine of selfishness, which they use to seemingly justify themselves in turning away from community. They do not admit that there is a moral responsibility for being a member in that community. They deny...

Thank you, Josho! I'm happy as to how well I have been greeted here. I will strive to be a good member in this community. There are many interesting people here!

Thank you, Episkopos for the welcome! I think that we must take up our cross and follow Christ where he leads us. The flesh wages war against the spirit and the spirit the flesh. I think that your basic insight is correct. We must practice charity, loving others as God has loved us, in this...

Thanks, Amadeus! Happy to be here! I like your picture! I have a suspicion you've a story to two to tell. The journey in life has been long for the both of us!

Hi Episkopos! Some say that politics is the practice of a form of community, or should I say, social hatred. I suppose that we must make various political stands on various issues. But must Christians practice the hatred? If we are all sinners, can we hate what we perceive is the sin in...

Welcome to the forum, Mike! I'm new hereabouts as well! :)

Thank you pompadour! I hope I have a good time and enjoy everyone's company hereabouts. I strongly feel that we must express Christ as he is known within us. As he is known admits of many variations, it should be pleasing, as if in a bouquet of flowers. The various enlightenings of every...

Thanks Angelina! I'm beginning to get use to hereabouts. I'm learning how to navigate and post as I should. To God be the glory!
