So many threads fit this model; more of an anti-X denomination than a Christian today.

I find this nonsensical, a desperate parsing of synonyms. One may dictate to a scribe but the work is credited to the originator of the content, not who puts pen to paper. It is disparaging to reduce prophets to mere scribes. I know the OP desires to reduce the most holy work known to a mere...

Is not stated to be the work of Jesus' God. Sad for you to hold 2 unequal things as equal.

The big deal is the 10 Commandments are the only part of Scripture that is literally written by God. Whenever I think if the word "holy" knowing it means set apart, it is hard to conceive of a work more set apart than that! You claim it is a false divide but clearly it is a natural divide ...

I only read the OP. Perhaps you answered my questions is later posts but it seems I am akin to SDA and never knew it. I find it odd for you to deny the cited facts hold up to scrutiny while simultaneously offering no scrutinizing support. I find your thesis lacking sir. Many times I've heard...

Math is not your strength. Carry on wayward son.

Well said! Infinite applies to a math series, not a person. God is bounded by his own nature loving but just, merciful but deadly, patient but Judgment Day awaits sooner or later.

The family gathers for the funeral, then scatters. Weeks later the grieving continues but no one is there to help pick up the pieces. After a long conversation with my cousin, there is family disunity about what to do with the house. My aunt does not want to move but she cannot take care of it...

A week after the funeral, I am traveling out of state to help my aunt prepare the house to be sold. I say this is her husband, which was technically my uncle but she married him after I was grown and living out of state. So, I only met him a few times. Obviously, close to my aunt, this will be...

I think these verses are referring to the same feast. Having sad that; the Last Supper was a pretty amazing feast, as well, I am sure, of the feast Isaac had when God stilled the hand of his father Abraham and provided a non-human sacrifice.

No. The word "god" refers to a class of existents who have achieved mastery, which is synonymous with "lord." In Christendom, there is the use, and I argue, the abuse of this word by capitalizing it. Like, "dog", lord and god are both common nouns. The abuse comes from attempting to force...

2:26 minute video?! Is there a thumbnail version?

Sigh. Today people take things overly literally. What @Peterlag wrote I feel applies to the letter MLK jr wrote from a Birmingham jail. It was literally written to other pastors of his day but every generation can benefit from reading and applying its principles. You understand the difference?

Just out of curiosity, what is the name of the philosophy in opposition to this? I’ve heard of “Replacement theology” but not the name of its opposite. I consider proper theology to be that we are grafted into Israel as chosen by God.

Have or do. It’s one thing to know our primary identity is a child of God and you work for his kingdom and your family’s security. It’s another thing to take the time and smell the roses. Not work. Not sabbath. Enjoy living. I’m watching 3 grandchildren right now. More than a hobby, as well.

What poems do you like? I like the road less traveled by Frost Do not go gentle into that good night by Dylon If by Rudyard Kipling And many by Emily Dickinson

@Rella ~ I am a woman, I noticed the new suffix to your screen name. Hilarious! :D

It's the reverse with me; I'll take Trump over any Demonrat. You say passion but filtered out the anger and hate. Trump passionately loves America and does not come across as a rant. Why people love Trump is because he is effective at implementing policies that benefit the country. It was...

"I know you are but what am I" is all you got?! As @Mr E said, Truly cringe-worthy.
