    Mask Control: Prove COVID-19 exists...I dare you!

    When you had COVID, you were told to quarantine yourself. There is no need for a mask when you are not out in public. The restricted breathing places you at higher risk from a disease that attacks your respiratory system. Literacy is your friend ... you can learn a lot by actually reading the...

    Mask Control: Prove COVID-19 exists...I dare you!

    The mask is to reduce the small droplets from people that are infected but not showing symptoms (about 20% of the infections) from being spread like a cloud every time and everywhere they exhale. It is only minimally effective at preventing you from inhaling an airborne droplet (40% - 60%...

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    As a purely practical matter, I doubt that anyone ever got hired for a job because of the exceptional quality of their ink work, but a lot of candidates never made it past the first interview because they had a visible tattoo.

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    Getting a tattoo is equivalent to worshiping the golden calf or burning your child in the stomach of Molech ... anyone that gets one will have it burned off in the fires of hell ... and rightly so! (I didn’t see a choice on the vote that matched my opinion.) [actually, I’m just kidding...

    Break time. What do you do for fun?

    Have you considered writing a “Drabble” (a short story of exactly 100 words)?

    Who founded your church?

    Count Nicolaus Zinzendorf was not the founder of the Moravians. The reformation of Roman Catholic errors and return to orthodoxy dates back to Huss in 1415 and the Moravian Church dates back to 1457, when it was forced out of the then apostate Church of Rome (which centuries later reformed most...

    Is the church....

    Yes. (Ephesians 4:4-6; 1 Peter 2:9; Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 2:19-20) No. (Romans 10:8-11)

    It Is Becoming Very Clear . . .

    You sort of left me hanging here. I know what I THINK is significant about the Faith of Abraham. I know what I THINK is significant about the Law of Moses. I know what I THINK is significant about Jesus Christ (and I would probably not describe it as the removal of his infant foreskin). What I...

    It Is Becoming Very Clear . . .

    I think any meaningful exhortation of a fellow believer should contain something more than ... “Sorry, but you are wrong.” If he has not presented the truth and you feel qualified to correct his misunderstanding then how about opening your mouth and actually SPEAKING the truth in love? 1. So...

    What justification is Paul talking about in Galatians 5:4?

    What Justification does Galatians 1 to Galatians 4 suggest Galatians 5 might be speaking about?

    Why do you reject authority?

    In the 14th Century, an attempt was begun to reform a Church leadership that had become fully apostate to the teachings of Christ ... going as far as Cardinals and Popes with harems and looting the treasury of the church to enrich their politically connected families. Those that opposed the...

    Genesis 1:3

    [Genesis 1:1-5 NASB] 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. 3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. 4 God saw...

    Genesis 1:3

    Genesis 1 is best understood in comparison to the other creation myths of Mesopotamia and Egypt and India that existed at the time. In Genesis 1 we have God setting the record straight in a story that is a polemic that directly challenges, contradicts and refutes all other creation stories and...

    Is God Male?

    Jesus is masculine and the Godhead “self-identifies” as masculine, plural (“Let us - masculine plural - make man in our image”). I have no idea if “spirits” have gender.

    Where does the Bible say...

    [Mat 16:8 NKJV] 8 But Jesus, being aware of [it], said to them, "O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread? [Mat 28:19 NKJV] 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of...

    The Sabbath Day and Jesus

    I do not believe that this is correct. By your hyperliteralism, eating is work and so is breathing. Clearly God did not command the seventh day to be a day of fasting when they gathered a double portion of mana on the sixth day. Sacrifices were offered on the sabbath, which involved...

    The Sabbath Day and Jesus

    [Exodus 20:8-11 NASB] 8 "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 "Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; [in it] you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or...

    Ramblings by lunatics

    Respectfully, I don’t think that was the reason for that particular historical event. Do you have something to support your theory?
