And what is the specific word written that expresses how we are to restore them? Hint: It begins with GENT, and ends with LY.

I have 12 years of either being enrolled in or auditing Bible Classes. I can hold my own with most anyone. I also practiced Martial Arts steadily for 8 years, three of which were playing Judo at a very advanced level. At 74, I can still defeat most lesser-trained younger men. But, I don't do...

We don't get to decide how sensitive someone is supposed to be. If we really care, then we back off beating them over the head with what we want to claim is "only the truth."

When you are claiming the Holier Ground in a conversation, and you have a choice of how to word something addressing a more sensitive person.... but you choose not to think about your words, then "Yes" your comment is deliberately less than honorable. (underhanded)

For a full two months now, I have been battling a growing dislike for a man at the YMCA. He deliberately took the seat of a woman who had been sitting there on a two-person sofa with her grandchild when she got up to go get a cup of coffee. He refused to relinquish the seat when she returned...

Are we going to be truthful? I think all of us know when we maintain our PC veneer by refraining from using words society has identified as "naughty." But, that never seems to keep us from deliberately using "acceptable" — yet hurtful — words in our posts to others. The most popular one seems...

More Loving In My Heart by Dr. Howard Thurman I want to be more loving in my heart. I want to be more loving. Often there are good and sufficient reasons for exercising what seems a clean, direct resentment. Again and again I find it hard to hold in check the sharp retort, the biting comeback...

I agree with most of that post. However, I do think we all know better (and should refrain) than to try to slide in an underhanded comment like "IF you're of Christ...." when it would have been just as easy to say "Since you are of Christ" or (since I can hear the gears turning in your head...

George MacDonald can sometimes be better understood by hearing, rather than reading:

And therein lies the rub. How is it that one person (a Futurist) can be so absolutely certain Jesus and the disciples (or any other prophesy instances) was/were addressing the End of The Earth — and another (equally intelligent, sane, responsible, rational and sincere) person (a Preterist) can...

"Yes", I know some of the stuff I post which is written in archaic language can be difficult to read, but many of you swear you love reading the KJV.... So, give this a chance also: But how can we love a man or a woman who is cruel and unjust to us?-- who sears with contempt, or cuts off with...

But, even right there, we have a problem. As you, yourself, just came close to saying, it is very much, and often, "guess work" when it comes to deciding WHAT future time periods many of those predictions were describing. The Preterists point out — and often quite convincingly — what they...

I see RC's posts as simply him observing the same Child Abuse I am upset about. And, of course he is just as irritated about it as I am. But, since this is something I suspect could never be researched online, I think he did the next best thing, and asked, repeatedly on here, if anyone could...

In cases like that, I often do. I'd feel a little stupid just standing around to wait for a child to be injured..... simply because the abuser was wearing an embroidered robe.

*Re-Choired* has obviously been trying hard to find out. And I was not "mocking." I seriously stated that I very definitely think their minds have been affected by a spirit of religion, and that their "leader" needs some serious attitude adjustment... preferably with the right fist of fellowship.

Every single person, you included, who follows Jesus is already a Partial Preterist.

The closest thing I could come to a guess is that since Catholics attribute tons of "power" to priests...… is that parents were bringing their children to this phony supposed Holy Man to have him "shake" bad thoughts out of their children's minds. To me, it is both very, very "sick" and probably...

This whole "Heresy" mess is simple to see. "As a member of _________ church, I am positive we have correctly interpreted God's intended word." "As a member of _________ church, you are positive you have correctly interpreted God's intended word." "Therefore, that makes anyone who does not have...

I have it on my computer in MS WORD Format, and can send it to you (or anyone) as a "ZIPPED" File... Free of any charge — it is nothing more than an e-mail delivery.

This is very true. The church where we attend, solidly and almost to a man, believes in the "Surprise" Rapture as the planned and intended means of escaping from this world that Satan owns. I do not. And they all know I do not. I believe in personal "healing" by the "laying on of hands" and...
