Well, the lack of replies here is heartbreaking and very telling.

Religious Dogmatism How dangerous do you think religious dogmatism is? If we are honest, we all can agree rd (religious dogmatism), has really divided us as a Christian community in so many ways. What I have been seeing way too much of is the kind of intolerance and TOTAL prejudice toward...

"Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above."

Yes, agreed. It is the dogmatism that, extreme dogmatism that bothers me. How can any Christian think they got it all correct, without ever honestly seeing evidence to the contrary? "If even the very elect..." It is easy to fool those who think they stand. That goes for all Christians...I...

:IDK:interesting. How then do we know what all else was only for that age? Your quote of " Read 1 Cor 15:1-4 "however, does not speak of being baptized in the Holy Spirit at all, it just connects the "gospel" to being "saved". Your quote of Ephesians 1:13 Also does not say anything about...

Kirk Cameron no longer believes in the PTR. "No, Kirk Cameron has publicly moved away from his44 previously held belief in a pre-tribulation rapture, declaring in late 2025 and early 2026 that he has "left behind" the Left Behind theology. Following further study, he now rejects the...

Understood, I too come from a very hard working family, my father always said to do our best no matter the job. I also had 7 surgeries because of foolishness in my early 20's. I was only able to work for 43 years and it has been extremely frustrating to not be able to do anything physical now...

ALL Hollywood.

"I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself" ~ Max Lucado

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken". ~ C.S. Lewis

Thanks for the reply but, why would we need the rich to make jobs? And the Ananias and Saphira thing I believe will always be an unfortunate issue sadly.

Why would there be any difference today as opposed to Jesus time?

The church is way too selfish to do anything like this. If all of the other verses are for today then, yes I agree, these also should apply. There are probably already some smaller communities who do this...the Amish for instance. It is a wonderful way but...everyone is just making sure they...

I'm not surprised T.

Ramble on but, maybe we should move over to your MK-ULTRA thread before someone gets their knickers in a bunch!

Indeed sister. When my dear longtime Christian friend tried to tell me some of the things she was going through in the late 1990's, I admit that I did not believe her, shameful on my part. But, when we re-connected a couple of years ago, the things she was telling me mirrored your own...

All this stuff is right in front for anybody who has eyes to see but then...MANY will say in that day "Lord Lord..." Their Jesus is carrying around M4Carbines, grenades and a militant face, the true Jesus wages war in righteousness and uses HIS WORD to wipe out all violence in the world.
