This rationalization is too funny! Let’s embark on a campaign to prevent the illiterate from having a book. Given that they cannot read, what harm could there be in them having a book? It’s like engaging in a campaign to prevent bald people from having hair clippers, brushes and combs...

There's your sign that you have embraced evil (in the form of oppresive tyranny). Your imperitive is based on the premise that someone or some group has a higher claim to your life than the individual does. Who should decide what a sovereign person does with what is theirs? Who decides: Who...

Wow! I almost did not see yet another change in subject. Guess what? No one said "People pick their neighborhood for the church they will attend."

Change in subject. The question is why would anyone go to a particular church. Culture is the driver.

Common sense is “birds of a feather flock together.” It is only our sick society, poisoned by Cultural Marxism, that suggests it ought to be any other way - by default. Naturally, other factors play a role, such as devotion to denomination and driving distance but ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, the...

Says you! For some reason, you are a defeatest obstructionist, utterly opposed to lift a finger to make this world a better place. It's shocking to me that anyone who is a Christ follower literally devotes themselves to OPPOSE others efforts to make the world a better place. Whereas until the...

A gross misreading of Scripture, implying God does not know all things.

Again, change in subject. There is a defeatist and obstructionist mentality among some in Christendom to abdicate their civic duty by NOT participating in the political process because it is not holy enough. To that, us nationalist patriots have a champion, Donald Trump. He's not the Messiah...

Friend, you are confused. You are confusing the means with the ends. MEANS - Romans 10:9 if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from among the dead, you will be saved. Bible see other translations END - God's will, outside of time, seems...

Nope. Not even one little bit. God's will be done, yes? There is no power that can stop God's will. It is only our temporal existence that falsely perceives a lag between what God will's and the manifestation of that will. To God, his will is already done. You deeming the nature of God's...

I love my Calvinist brothers and sisters and hope they spread the Gospel to the best of their abillity. To read some posts regarding "the other" (denomination with doctrinal differences) one might think our brothers in Christ were card carrying members of the Adversary. <sigh>

Oy vey! Christians can discuss things other than Christ. By no means does it mean Christendom has lost its Christianity. For instance, just yesterday I told my wife that I'm glad she was able to spend some time with the grandkids.

Your specific reference to Isaac may have been answered but you bring up a great point. And I think the better example is Adam and Eve because there was no priest to marry them. It's worth noting that the concept of marriage of a man and a woman transcends culture. One must ask themselves why...

I'm a simple thinker so break things down to the funamentals: WHAT WHERE WHEN HOW WHY The WHAT of salvation is not dependent on the WHEN of tribulation. There is a common quip that I hate. "All we can do now is pray." Praying and turning to God is the first thing you should do! No one should...

Hmmm. No. The notion of predestination naturally follows from the idea that God is all knowing. St. Augustine, in Confessions, wrote that God is outside time since he created both motion and time. The analogy is us looking at a completed painting. Although complete, it takes time to scan the...

As opposed to those other kind of demons? :contemplate:

Yesterday’s sermon was akin to this. The math equation presented: Gospel + anything = nothing Gospel - anything = nothing. In other words, as Galatians delves into, the Gospel is an indivisible whole, adding or subtracting to it is NOT the Gospel. If the Old Covenant taught us anything...

A famous person observed there is no heated debates over math, the less certain we are, the more passionately we argue for it. This is human nature. We tend not to be emotionally invested in what we know but what we suspect/believe/want, etc. Iron sharpens iron. I've mentioned my devoted...

And I’ve answered it several times …. The ADA recommends we go to the dentist twice a year. Even though this is not in Scripture, the ADA still recommends this. Said differently, where there is freedom, there is the Spirit of the lord. You’ve turned freedom into slavery. A free person may do...

Fully both.
