The fact that it's a Creed. Intended as a test of fellowship. A means by which to discriminate against others and condemn those who conscientiously disagree.

From what I remember reading of the second amendment I don't think the founding fathers intended that every single individual thug and wannabe gangster was included in the deal. Isn't there something in there that speaks of a civilian militia?

Friends of ours here in Melbourne, also from NZ, started a pantry from their house about 5 or 6 years ago. They put out the word mainly for kiwis who were having a hard time and couldn't get any assistance from the government. (The Australian government refuse to allow NZers to get a benefit or...

Imagine what God could do for others if we asked for the baptism of the holy Spirit and were willing to sacrifice self and actually use those gifts for their intended purpose.

And why wouldn't anyone support that I wonder,? Seems remarkably common sense to me... Add more stringent background and mental health checks and...

It is what you are doing with the Creed in this thread, that displays the very reason why creeds are never to to be devised and used as a battering ram against those who don't believe as you do. The inevitable result is persecution against other Christians.

The Antichrist cannot use the scriptures except they are misquoted and taken out of context. And he's been doing that for 1700 years. The best defense against the mark is to receive the seal of God. If the seal of God is in the forehead, your enemies are utterly shut out.

I'm waiting with eager anticipation for the day that gender fluidity become compulsory. Won't that be fun?

I thank thee O God, that I am not like these others here, a Pharisee.

Do Christians sin like the unbelievers? The short answer is yes. KJV James 1:12-15 12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of...

What has this.... Got to do with this...?

Are those you are challenging claiming to be flawless?

Someone else's flaws will mitigate your own I suppose.

The occasional misdeeds or good deeds do not characterize what we are. It is the general steady direction and tendency toward righteousness, or toward evil, that defines us. Sanctification, the cleansing of all wickedness and sin and the full completion of character development takes a life...

Notice the lack of response from @Jim B ?

Some gay activist possibly demanded it, and the bank caved for fear of being labeled homophobic. You can get anything in life if the fear of refusing is greater than the fear of agreeing.

Throughout the gospels Jesus declared His dependence on the Father, and the Father's ultimate superior authority to which Jesus was surrendered, operating in His life. The very fact the "God sent", without any further evidence, is sufficient to show the Father as outranking His Son. It also...

And that my friend is the million dollar question. A question that has baffled the best scholarly intelligent minds for 1700 years. And one that I don't think anyone here is going to clear up either. The strange thing about that is that we demand everyone else give an adequate explanation for...

So that's offensive to be honest, particularly in light of the fact that neither you nor Cristo have explained why the Father abandoned His Son. Have neither of you thought this through? Have you considered what Jesus actually went through before coming up with this lame excuse for Christian...

If what you said is true, then every Christian denomination on the planet would be observing the Sabbath on the 7th day. But no, nearly all follow the Catholic tradition which overshadowed scripture.
