In my opinion the Church has created this problem by making the choir director an officially paid position. Thus Chrstians who are musically inclined, will seek such a position as a job. Before long they learn they can make money this way, so if good enough, why not try and record and make...

You say this while living in a country that protects its citizens with an extremely large and effective armed military. You say this while living in a state and city or county, where the police force protects citizens by an effective and armed method. In other words, you expect others to...

It is no coincidence that the Left and Right politically are heavily divided as Christian and non-Christian. The Right is often called the Conservative Christian Right and the Left is often called the Liberal atheistic left. Believers in Jesus Christ usually make their home in a conservative...

Note everyday the violence is increasing. Thanks to the leftist liberals and the black Maxine Waters. Mitch McConnel was harassed by them in public. A white teenager was bullied by a Mexican adult because he supported Trump. Such a brave man that Mexican was, attacking a child. And now...

Well, it is the nature of debate to have conflict. So if one wants to enter a debate he needs to know his subject and he needs to believe that what he is saying is true. Thus the deck is stacked for conflict when a debate begins. Of course it will vary depending on the person you are debating...

Jesus is clear that for one to decide to remain single instead of marrying, it is a gift as all men cannot receive it. But to those who can, they should. Paul is one of those that had that gift. (1 Cor. 7:7) "For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper...

I believe door to door witnessing with or without tracts can be effective, if done correctly. It should be done as part of your local church's effort to evangelize their area. And those that do it should be mature believers in Christ with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. This is a big...

Actually I can. But the discussions and debates I usually choose to get into involve very opposing, if not heretical, views. Thus a harsher language and tone is sometimes needed. I do not agree with or believe this self-appointed position of yours as being a 'dream interpreter'. Such a gift...

Indeed. Paul did not hesitate to speak his mind. And in this case, a mind that is inspired by the Spirit of God. Stranger

Identify them. Yes, I know what you said. You spoke out of both sides of your mouth. You made the point about 'context' and then said, 'context' didin't matter. It is not untenable as I showed in post #31. Of course it doesn't fit your approval. But then, the Bible wasn't written for...

I don't think Paul was being facetious at all. I believe he was serious and meant it, for the reasons given in post #31. Stranger

No, that 'is' what it means. And it is only used those 4 times in the New Testament. The context does fit. It just doesn't fit you. You say on one hand, 'if the context fit'. And the context is about circumcision. Then on the other hand, you say, 'The allusion to circumcision here may or...

Look it up in Strong's Concordance. Number 609. "To amputate", "To mutilate (the privy parts)", "cut off" It is used three other times in the New Testament. (Acts 27:32) "Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off." (John 18:10) " Then Simon Peter having a sword...

I did, I gave you the verses you asked for. I showed you that Jesus Christ wasn't worried about insulting people when they need to be insulted. How do I reconcile that? Just like Christ reconciles that. It depends on the situation. And still waiting for your interpretation of (Gal...

You wanted verses. I gave them to you. Jesus Christ was not worried about being insulting to people. (Matt. 23:1-36) You can find (Gal. 5:12) humorous all you want. That is what Paul is saying. Stranger

I respond in kind. As when Jesus withstood Peter to his face. (Gal. 2:11) As when Christ overturned the tables of the sellers in the Temple. (John 2:11-16) As Paul wished those that tried to preach circumcision would cut off their entire private parts. (Gal. 5:12) Stranger

Please. Play your violin sad song to others, not me. If I knew I was mistaken I wouldn't say what I do. But I am not. So I say what I do. I don't have to change at all. And, my relationship between God is between me and Him. Not you. And, you are lying through your teeth. As...

Please. You have a disturbing dream and you want everyone to be disturbed by it? Are you really that stupid? Not only do you present yourself as some interpreter of dreams, but now you present yourself as the one whom God is giving a dream to reveal what He wants His people to know. I...

You are...mr. extraordinary. By your own admission. One can say many things about themselves. So? Stranger

I recommend the book "Americans No More" by Georgie Anne Geyer. Great book about this subject. It was written I believe in the 90's, but she had the foresight and could see the things that were happening and what they would do. And she had the guts to write on it. Stranger
