Thank you for your post. On the one hand: it makes sense for any congregation to have members raise concerns within the congregation, rather than publicly. In principle, however, this church should have procedures dealing with and correcting internal abuses (Matthew 18:15-17). On the other...

Thank you for your post and questions regarding Romans 2:14-16 and the Apostle Paul’s reference to the ”law.” To understand this passage (which, by the way, can be said of many of the world’s indigenous peoples) it helps to remember that Jesus told us that (regarding the two great commandments)...

Thank you for sharing. Interestingly: This is Habit 7 of Covey’s “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People”. https://www.franklincovey.com/the-7-habits/ Blessings.

Thank you for your provocative post! What do think happens to those who have denied God? Also: If they have denied God AND broken Love Thy Neighbor in all conceivable ways? Blessings.

Thank you for your response. There is a saying, “If you would be understood, first seek to understand,” to which one might add, “Before you condemn, please, first seek to understand.” https://www.britannica.com/biography/Isaac-of-Nineveh Peace.

Thank you for asking. The rules for each of the forums are posted therein. As to the Prayer Form, it is not intended for debates. Also, there is one topic totally off limits in all forums: The Trinity. Hope this helps. Blessings.

Thank you for sharing! While not a fan of mysticism, I agree with his belief in God’s encompassing love. He is the type of person with whom I would enjoy breaking bread. Blessings.

Thank you for your book idea. Besides the entertainment value, the book might also encourage each of us to look in the mirror, perhaps in horror, at our own annoying habits. It might also be good for the Annoying One to embark on a spiritual journey of betterment, the end goal being Love Your...

Thank you for your good work. Regarding your nation, Myanmar: There is much to be learned by reading about people all over the world, especially their history and culture. Although there are many different cultures throughout Southeast Asia, the best communities practice Love Thy Neighbor...

Thank you for the question. No, I am not a pastor: just one of His messengers (or so it would appear). We might guess that life as a Christian in Myanmar is a special challenge. Are you free to spread the gospel? Blessings.

Welcome!! This forum does pride itself on intelligent discussions of God’s word, and is happy to answer questions about scripture. We hope your hopes will be fulfilled. Blessings.

Thanks for the reference. The sentence continues with what the CDC concluded was an acceptable substitute: “in vitro transcribed full length RNA . . . .” Not being a microbiologist, I cannot say if this is a show-stopper or not. On the other hand, we know that the reported data were skewed...

Thanks to all for your perspectives. On the other hand: There are some Christians who state that “faith” is a verb! Here is one link: Faith is a Verb, not a Noun - Reflections on John 3:14-21 But if you don’t care to click on this link, they are easy to find yourself by searching on “Is faith...

Thank you for your response. Here is a synopsis of his view: Whereas Protestants believe that faith alone is sufficient for salvation, and Catholics believe that faith plus works is required, Judaism states one earns salvation through merit. Also: it also says that anyone of any faith can...

Thank you all for your perspectives. The link below respectively differs. (The intent is not to persuade you in any way regarding your faith, but to observe that those of different faiths might have completely different views of themselves.) Blessings.

Thank you for your question. From what I have read, it appears we worship the same God. If you disagree, I will not argue the point. https://www.learnreligions.com/primary-sikh-beliefs-2993513 Peace.

Thank you for your post. It is not clear what you mean by “discussion“: is it “help me understand the Trinity,” or ”let’s analyze a historic heresy”? The Nicene and Apostles Creeds are each a clear statement of the Trinity for faithful Christians. ??? Blessings

Thanks for the post (but perhaps it should have been a new topic?). My answer: yes, as part of the parental responsibility in raising children. Parents have a responsibility to teach their children to Love God and Love Their Neighbors, even though they may not understand or appreciate why...

Thanks for the response. It sounds like an obvious conclusion, but would you also embrace the various holidays, culture, etc.? Would you abandon all of the New Testament? By the way, Sikhs are also monotheistic, but again, you might not find their culture convivial. Peace.
