The willful ignorance is motivated by IDOLATRY. Some years ago I realized how common IDOLATRY is in Christendom, starting with doctrine and KJVO-ism.

Agreed. I doubt they believe what they claim. How and why is because of something I support; freedom. Freedom of religion and speech. In the arena of ideas, bad ideas must be displaced by better ideas. This, through open discussion, debate, experiment, evidence and reason. One tactic of the...

Oy vey! Your triad of dysfunction is something to unpack. Your whole line of thinking is deeply disturbing on many levels. Preliminary observations: A. I am struck at how unrelated your post is to mine. In other words, these 3 sentences that appear to possess logical form are unresponsive to my...

I've come to accept natural consequences of death IS God's wrath poured out. This is the default path for humanity. By definition, a miracle is divine interference in the natural, physical laws of the universe that God established from the beginning. The path to avoid death is miraculous. God...

Today's devotional reading is not magnanimous but justice. Rev 14:9-11 “Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark on the forehead or on the hand 10 must drink the wine of God’s anger. It has been poured full strength into God’s cup of wrath. And they will be tormented...

This question combines the fallacies of Strawman, Circular Reasoning and False Alternative. 1. Your question is a Strawman because using the term "tyrannical" is an inappropriate juxtaposition to magnanimity. The Biblical counterpoint to Grace is Justice, not tyranny. What do you mean by the...

It's like you have no idea what Judgment Day is all about.

Despite the fact that not one verse says this.

I always found it odd how people equate a person to a word. A person is a WHO. A word is a WHAT.

I took @Matthias statement a reflection of logic and language usage not the forbidden (closed handed) topic. An agent of X is not X. Pretty straight forward.

I don't know what this means but it's hard to believe Soros is not dead yet. Only the good die young. <sigh>

The expression "just" is disrespectful dehumanization. No one is "just" anything. Everyone is multidimensional, especially in our relationships. I am a son, brother, husband, friend, neighbor, etc. Therefore, every prophet is more than a prophet as everyone person is more than just a statistical...

Femininity is beautiful and a God given gift.
