Yes, it is true. It’s totally true and at the heart of the matter. Responsibility. Stop making excuses and changing the subject, like people don’t know they are sinning! There are sins that people KNOW are a sin, again, like homosexuality, that are continuing willfully in that sin.

Conditional or qualified statements contain conditions or qualifications. What is it about this you do not understand? When presumes it will inevitably happen. If this were the case, then universalism would be correct doctrine. A hot topic in America is whether gays will go to heaven. The...

I deeply appreciate your post. Ever hear of the book, The Signature in The Cell? See my threads: https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/evidence-to-be-seen.40054/ https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/evidence-to-be-seen-part-2-in-scripture.54183/

Mistaken identity. When he did go after modifying his plans, he said it was the best mission trip he ever had. Blessings.

Nope. Not one little bit am I denying Christ. In college, my mother sent me this beautiful card out of the blue. It expressed the idea that even though there are things about me she does not like, she still deeply loves me. Is that too honest to admit about others, including the one who loves...

No. It always bothered me that the God of the OT epitomizes the ultimate in clear and direct language usage in all of the human condition. His explicit words LITERALLY written in stone. The expression now imbued to emphatic significance! In addition, in today's devotional reading I came across...

This was similar to my prophetic experience. Did I ever tell you about that regarding my doctor? Without going into all the details, while I was an enemy of Christ the Spirit gave me a vision. I was not entirely sure of what I saw. That is the humble part. However, I was certain of what it meant...

@Debp, I just applaud your devotion to exposing the duplicity of the global Left.

No, you got it right. Honestly, I don't know exactly how she did it. Let me ask ... 1st, steam the broccoli. Then crumble it. The, add egg, a little bread crumbs and put it in a blender. The result is akin to dough in texture.

See post #65.

<sigh> Irrelevant. What is relevant is you putting the word in quotes. See my response to @MA2444 in post #114.

There is NOTHING disrespectful about: Having preferences Stating what those preferences are. Your basic position is to say I should not have these preferences and I'm too stupid to understand why I should not have these preferences AND/OR deny the deceptive nature of the words used that forms...

Again, words have meaning and ideas have consequences. When you or Jesus use a word, like wine, I can track with you. When you use a word like wine to mean "wine," meaning anything other than wine, now I too am lost. It's one thing to invoke a saying, like the early bird gets the worm, that is...

I said OVERLY spiritualized, neglecting soulful needs, needs of the body. This is seen in Christianity being the only religion that has a man shortage; men don't feel needed, i.e., they are wasting their time, not doing anything, told to be passive, "fight on your knees," etc. My wife can sing...

This thread is for those who've experienced a darkness that can be felt. This is the end of the sentence in Exodus, Chapter 10, verse 21 in the NRSV: "A darkness that can be felt." Today's devotional reading struck me in comparison to a verse I reference a lot these days. Isaiah 5:20 "Woe to...

Displace faith with knowledge and the resultant inequality of knowledge between prophets and others. God communicates directly with prophets. Others have to have faith in the claims of the prophet. No one doubts the sun in the sky for it is seen daily. Why not such undeniable evidence for God...

The thing is the next step. The follow up thought. OK, God is at fault for everything, you say? Now what? As Peter said to Jesus when he asked if he too would leave him in John 6:66, where else can we go? I don’t think God would be angry if you said this. He can take what he is responsible...

That reminds me years ago (decades before 9/11) my boss and I went to Canada from Detroit to catch a flight to Montreal. It was a small plane and just before boarding they had us put our carry on through metal detectors. I sarcastically said, "Yea, like I have a bomb on a plane I'm going on."...

All killing of sacred cows do feel like being on thin ice. And I think being afraid is understandable. The truth often scares people - as it should. It seems to me that Christiandom has become overly spiritualized. As innocent as doves, yes. But not as wise as serpents - who infamously speak...

What's the difference? I don't lie. I just have my attorney, my agent do it on my behalf and at my command. What kind of sophistry is that? Another sacred cow, for sure. As if Isaiah 45:7 I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create evil. I am Yahweh who does all these things...
