    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    How about not a place of learning since the time of the English Reformation? Since that time we have had denominations and a few leaders of these lead groups of people into their doctrines and since hermeneutics would void many of their pet doctrines they have exchanged the hermeneutics with...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    Now this thread has an erroneous assumption inside of it. That assumption is that Church is a place of scholarship and learning....like a university or college is. It never has been before and is not today. Church and Sunday School/small group studies are fluff and morality lessons...

    Ukrainian offensive land take back in blue, cost was 70 thousand Ukrainian lives

    Says the man spouting Russian Disinformation approved by Putin himself. And I mean just that....look it up. Google "Russian Talking Points" and see what magically pops up. EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID.

    Ukrainian offensive land take back in blue, cost was 70 thousand Ukrainian lives

    Because YOU DO NOT DESERVE ONE. Especially as you keep peddling propaganda. DU has been everywhere for decades....you get doses every time you go to the grocery store, doctor's office or drive by the hospital. You have never complained before....why now....especially while staring at a...

    Ukrainian offensive land take back in blue, cost was 70 thousand Ukrainian lives

    EVERY time you go aboard an airplane, tractor trailer dock, the Dentist, or hospital you are exposed to depleted uranium. The metal is used in containers, radioactive shielding and counterweights in jets. It's everywhere and been everywhere in normal society for decades. Now that it's used...

    Ukrainian offensive land take back in blue, cost was 70 thousand Ukrainian lives

    Obviously you don't have the first clue about depleted uranium. It's lead. Lead is a shielding agent against radioactivity. It's an isotope of lead that has much much less radioactivity than the radon gas naturally occurring in most of Ukraine...especially the farming areas. And if you...

    Ukrainian offensive land take back in blue, cost was 70 thousand Ukrainian lives

    What has that got to do with anything? So the farmer should just walk out into his mined field and end his own life? Is that what you are saying?

    Ukrainian offensive land take back in blue, cost was 70 thousand Ukrainian lives

    Just keep shouting to free Barrabas (a politician) instead of Jesus....mkay? Because that is exactly what you are doing.

    Ukrainian offensive land take back in blue, cost was 70 thousand Ukrainian lives

    Well, It's not about taking sides....it's about perverting justice. It's about a lifetime farmer who has worked his ancestral farm forced out, his wife raped and murdered, his harvested crops and tractors stolen, his fields full of land mines his farmhouse and tractor barn destroyed and then...

    Ukrainian offensive land take back in blue, cost was 70 thousand Ukrainian lives

    If you wish to have a discussion with me about the lives of Slavic people then do not even start with talking about American politics....because then you out yourself as a person who is more concerned with their personal life quality than the actual lives of others. Thus is the exact opposite...

    Ukrainian offensive land take back in blue, cost was 70 thousand Ukrainian lives

    Have you ever been to the Slavic regions before? I have. And what I'm saying has more truth to it than this propaganda you are saying. I contact friends and missionaries I personally know about what is happening and why. Some of whom have indirectly contributed to popular sermons over the...

    Ukrainian offensive land take back in blue, cost was 70 thousand Ukrainian lives

    The Russians once controlled all the way up to Hyrhorivka....the Blue is just the past few weeks. And I'm not spouting anyone's propaganda unlike you who is spouting the latest Kremlin approved talking points. Because the USA is sending very little cash. It is sending used equipment that...

    Ukrainian offensive land take back in blue, cost was 70 thousand Ukrainian lives

    Your map is very incorrect. The map you are showing is covering the last few weeks....not the months of fighting. IOW you are spewing propaganda and farming for anger. This war between Ukraine and Russia is going to go on for a while. (But not for too much longer) Russia is going slowly...

    Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God", unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

    John 8 is a good example... It isn't John's writing...it belongs in Mark. It is very consistent with how Mark tells stories and who knows where it goes? Even the oldest Bible and copies of Mark and John we have do not shed light on this.

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    I am one of the few who "knows too much" and knows exactly what I believe and why I believe it. And where I an NOT a fan of tearing down institutions (even Hillsong) I an not in favor of all doctrines especially ones like Calvinism (it didn't do Europe any good by a long shot) or Universalism...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    Yes....listened to him many times...couldn't escape hearing him....especially when others are getting his named study bibles and video series and all the other schlock he has for sale. But at core he is a calvinist....a full five point Calvinist that contradicts himself by having altar...

    "Christians don't know what they believe." - until they are brainwashed

    John McArthur is a Calvinist....nuff said there. And to somehow claim that the scriptures are literally true in every instance is the usual Calvinist's misunderstanding of the use of language in the scriptures. Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Early Latin are absolutely full of metaphors and...

    Humility Versus Pride

    What say you as to the definitions of these words and how the scriptures use them? Are they opposites? Related? What does pride look like? What does humility look like? False pride and false humility? True pride and true humility? Humiliation? Miserable? Puffed up?

    Do you guys think that Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is mostly positive or negative for humankind?

    Ok... There's a TON of hype about AI at the moment... And I really don't understand the hype. It's nothing more than a dedicated database and a search engine similar to what you use to search for anything on the internet. That's it....that's all there is to it. AI currently has no...
