Semantics. No answer to my repeated question of how you justify peace. Sad, really.

Good God woman! You don’t know the difference between defense and aggression? Too bad you cannot answer what justifies peace.

I'm with you, sister. The nastiness among followers of Christ over manmade doctrine ranks supreme among reasons people are repulsed. He said by our love the world will know us. Yea, about that! Far better to be a Jehovah Witness than an Adverse Witness. A hostile witness, also known as an...

I spit my Pepsi all over the screen when I read that!

Well said! That's the problem with those who adhere to literal translations, on top of the fact that the Bible is a highly figurative book. Valid interpretation is contextual. For the sake of brevity, I often take words out of context while still applying it correctly, Examples include "be all...

In general, no. God's word must be understood by the Spirit. So, you should read the translation you like to read the most. If you want to get into a esoteric analysis of what does the 3rd word of the 8th verse of the 11th chapter say, then yea, it matters. I generally prefer thought...

American strategic diplomacy is about as brilliant as our enemy can imagine. :oops:

It's primarily a Spiritual battle. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

Iran has been a problem since the Shah was deposed, ~45 years. Republicans and Demon-rats besides Biden have been in power through the years. My answer is the Deep State does not want peace. They want to play both sides of conflicts, benefitting from the Industrial Military complex. State...

Extreme Eisegesis. Jesus is not even referred to in John 1:3.

I am correct. Thanks for asking. :vgood:

Why do you suppose that action is not taken?

Yea, let's repeal Genesis 1:28. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

1. Language Usage. O' is short for OF. OF does not mean IS. "Of" is a preposition, which connects 2 things. "In" is another preposition. If one were to say Fred is "in" the house, it does not mean you are a house ... No one is denying Jesus is OF God - servant, apostle, priest, lamb, son, word...

What verse in Scripture says that?

The effect of IDOLATRY, put above the most important commandment - above love of God and love of each other. Image bearers of God having nothing in common?! Really. You, @Aunty Jane and I have everything in common but mere manmade doctrine.

So, David and all his descendants are God?! Wow!

Modern. I speak Groot AND 21st American. Different strokes for different folks. KJV is error ridden, archaic and the worst translation available in English today. It is the most important book written in (Middle) English but its day in the sun is over.

Pure Ad Homenim. You wrote Notice how you are not on record with what Russia's actual agenda is? You are in the know while claiming people who actually listened to Putin are "uninformed." Again, I've flipped the script. You say Pacifists never see a reason for war. I say war mongers never see...

We can all be better at witnessing. My Pastor said if you are going to witness for God, make sure you are a good witness. There is such a thing as Adverse Witness. Sadly, many Christian’s are Adverse Witnesses. I wonder if you started this thread for God’s glory - or your glory?
