Sodomization of America. US Gives More Than $4.1 Billion In Grants For LGBT Initiatives Worldwide | ZeroHedge

You keep getting stuck on words. It's NOT what they say but the devotional act that is the dead give away. I know there is Bible IDOLATRY because I experienced it for decades. This is how IDOLATRY shows itself; people use it as an obstacle to bring people to Christ. The 1st Bible IDOLATRY I...

Not prudent to not prepare.

That’s because we are part of a man hating society, the practical limits of equality are realized. Before the Cold War, civilians were the primary targets of warfare for all of human history. Caesar defeated his enemies by salting their farm land 2 seasons before engaging them. When he finally...

Great conversation! Thereby you open yourself up to the sin of IDOLATRY by making an exception. If you study the 2C, you will find no such exception. Do not make ... or bow down and worship idols. I am the Lord your God, and I demand all your love. Exodus 20:4-5 (CEV) Wow! We are working...

God too has emotional responses to IDOLATRY. :mask: This sentence surprised me. I'm not sure how you are connecting salvation with IDOLATRY. No, I don't think I did. There are so many threads on OSAS. Several years ago I was heavily involved in one. Now, I generally stay away from them...

Hmmm. Familiar with Venn diagrams? One might say the genus of all sin is pride, the exaltation of the self in one form or another. It's still IDOLATRY, because he asserts his driving philosophy of life is "it's all about the Benjamins."

I pasted the definition of idolatry in Post # 384.

Yes. What I don't believe is in people's reading comprehension, especially where the IDOLATRY of doctrine is concerned. "In the name of God" began many atrocities in history. "Thus saith the LORD" relieves the tyrant of moral pains for performing evil. My father never embraced Christianity...

Yes, Satan. God is a God or order. Satan is a god of chaos. The US is tyrannically lawless. While existing laws don't apply in practice at the Southern border, to Hunter or Hillary, when applied to Trump laws are being applied in ways NOT written. We are under the tyranny of the arbitrary.

Great thread topic! To answer your question, How did Paganism get into the church? It is the influence of culture, which is revealed by the question, does a fish know it is in water? Christianity spread into Pagan cultures and adopted existing holidays to assist in cultural assimilation. These...

I'm glad you did. Sure, I can explain IDOLATRY of the Bible in 2 other ways. :) Besides IDOLATRY of translations, the 2nd form of IDOLATRY of the Bible that became obvious to me is doctrine. In my study of Scripture, I discovered there is no Doctrinal Purity Test to be saved. I thank God...

No. IDOLATRY is something you worship and sacrifice to. What you are stating is just pragmatic considerations. Let me give you an example. I had a friend who IDOLIZED money. His mantra was that "It's all about the Benjamins." The thought of money polluted every decision and relationship. When I...

No. That's not it. Consider IDOLATRY of the Bible to be a form of legalism. the Bible is a highly figurative book. Anyone who claims it is all literally true is sophomoric and an IDOLATOR. For instance, do you truly believe there was literally a woman with God before he initiated Creation...

No. I hate the KJV. It is not readable to me. Idolators do not say they are worshipping their manmade IDOLS - the DO it nonetheless. Until you grasp this about IDOLATRY you will never see how pervasive it is. Again, sex, drugs, money, power, all these are modern day IDOLS. No one says they...

You got us all wrong. We are not doubting the reliability of the written word. Writing is a tool and like all tools, it can be misused and abused. the Bible should be used to enlighten, not to bludgeon.

I am not confusing IDOLATRY with pride or false loyalty. Consider an extrapolation from what you wrote. ^ This is IDOLATRY 101 plain and simple. (And I pray this does not offend you, for you are a sibling of mine in being children of God). Pervasive in Christendom is the assertion that people...

With all due respect, we fundamentally disagree. I already expressed how I suffered from Bible Idolatry, specifically idolatry of a translation, for decades. Again, we fundamentally disagree. The 1C is not "you shall have no other gods before the Bible." Showing you are guilty of Bible...

Hmmm. Rationalization is different from knowledge. What did Jesus say? Matthew 11:25 CEV 25 I am grateful that you hid all this from wise and educated people and showed it to ordinary people. I watched a great vid today from the apologist John Lennox. He observed that science (scholars) break...

Sure. Being divine means Jesus is OF God - priest, servant, word, lamb, son, apostle, etc. ‘OF’ does not mean ‘is.’ Prepositions are not verbs.
