    Apologetics about Substitutionary Atonement

    Jesus' life was not taken from him in the sense that ours is. We have no control over the death element in our lives ie, we cannot say when we are decapitated 'I choose not to die' and continue to live. We are terminated. Jesus tells us this of the life of his, John 10:18 'No one takes it from...

    They're suing to get the ten commandments out of schools

    Why hear what I have said as an attack? The history of all the Nations is abysmal including that of Oz. When we talk about 'the good old days' we have a very limited view of 'old days' yet when we expand our perspective we discover the old days were not so good......unless of course we live in...

    Hellfire and brimstone has given way to eternal separation from God. - Why?

    Please Help Me. I Am Fighting For The Soul Of My Grand-Niece.

    You can be certain that God's care and interest in them is greater than you've ever dreamed of and is working for their interest. Don't sabotage his efforts! The patience of the Saints is for us who believe. Give them more value than they are giving you by hearing them not trying to change them.

    Please Help Me. I Am Fighting For The Soul Of My Grand-Niece.

    The more you push the further away they will go. If you want to attract them to what you think is valuable, backing off is probably the best move. Your Family will be watching you keenly.

Ultimately it is revealed in Jesus....and what is that?....a Lamb? God is unselfish and non violent...

    The social gospel?
