    When to Leave Church

    that is the great white throne judgment and Christians will not be at that judgment. You forget that sin is no longer an issue for placement in heaven or hell! Jesus is the acceptable sacrifice for all mens sins. One does not go to the lake of fire because they are sinners! No they go...

    When to Leave Church

    You are making an assumption that the punishment here is being left behind when the rapture takes place! If they are IN CHRIST they will be caught up! And what determines how many false doctrines does it take to be left behind? How lazy does a Christian need to be? If these are sins- they...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    No it evidences my ability to read a text as it is and not add unfounded ages where there is none suggested in the Bible at all! 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of...

    What is wrong with all these Christian anti-vaxxers?

    And I feel sad that I seem to be a very small voice in believing circles. We as followers of Jesus should overflow with voices of reason and we of all should be critical of conspiracy theories. I know that conspiracy theories have a germ of truth but in Christian circles people are taking...

    When to Leave Church

    Paul simply said there are advantages ot that gift frlm teh spirit, but was not better than other gifts. Well I have not surveyed all tongue speakers so I can't give such definitive answers as you do! But Paul said since He spoke in tongues of angels as well! That throws another wrench oin...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    Now that they are established yes! But God spoke and it was! Day is YOM and it can mean an idefinite time period, but God made it clear He meant a single 24 hour day! For each day of creation He said there was an evening and a morning a first day, a second day etc. The context is clear...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    Then why do you believe in millions of years when the bible clearly and unambiguously says creation took 6 days, not 6 undefined periods! God could n't make it plainer! "An evening and a morning, a first day"! Etc. Everything we use to tell time is based on the movements of the sun or moon...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    Well generically speaking- every sect can trace their roots back to teh apostles as far as source of authority. the church is catholic meaning universal, but the Roman Church was not born until the sixth century under Pope Julius if I remember correctly. It was conceived and grew in the womb...

    What is wrong with all these Christian anti-vaxxers?

    Well as this debate has nothing to do with god's Word in our heart- I wonder why you quote that. Once again you are pulling a limited number of statistics from a country that uses a different vaccine! What is the reason? there can be 100 reasons for these hospitalizations with 2nd and booster...

    When to Leave Church

    We all have to ask. If a person is saved in a particular way of looking at Scripture, they are as saved as we are! all of us are unknowing heretics simply because none of us have a full lock on Scriptures! Strong action only should come when one becomes intransient. But know this when the...

    When to Leave Church

    Sorry but teh construct is showing Paul speaking of two instances. Public utterance and private prayer utterance. Look at teh passage. Yes because Paul directly says tongues edifies the individual- who then can edify the church.

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    Well in Genesis we see that God created the stars to give light to the earth and for signs and seasons. God could have created the light paths when He created the stars! I will trust an infallible god rather than fallible scientists to set a time frame!

    What is wrong with all these Christian anti-vaxxers?

    Today given the increased knowledge, if a biopsy show the cyst benign, then yes I agree removing other organs is unwarranted. In the early history of these procedures, I can understand why they would take the extra precautions, simply from lack of time and learning and increase in knowledge. I...

    What is wrong with all these Christian anti-vaxxers?

    I await your evidence that contradicts teh reports from multiple states. According ot most reports over 90% of the hospitalized in serious condition are unvaxxed! some are given protocols, most aren't. but this is a different issue to discuss rather than why they are sent home! But I ould...

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    No the loss of salvation false doctrine was born in the 4-5th century before the RCC took hold. It has been a doctrine of the Catholic church for over a millenia. also, many protestant churches never rid themselves of this bad teaching after the reformation. I remain convinced it is rooted in...

    When to Leave Church

    Well I see in Scripture that God is a very loving and patient God. He will take people where they are at and teach them. I got saved as an agnostic/satanist. I went back to my Catholic roots when God got hold of me. I started reading the bible, but praying the rosary fiercely as well as doing...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    sorry, but you don't get to redefine simple terms to make creation thousands or millions of years. this sounds like the old day-age theory which is nothing more than an attempt to rectify the bible with the false science of Darwinian evolution.

    What is wrong with all these Christian anti-vaxxers?

    Thanks for the cite on how mRNA vaccines work. I read that one, but is the most accurate out there. Sadly hospitals will push the pencil if someone dies and also have covid. It is hard when your hospital is struggling financially to not take the largesse teh government is willing to give...

    Genesis 1, a day, and Billions of years

    Wrong that is a reinterpretation. God made it very clear what He meant to try to keep us sinful humans from misinterpreting HIM. The clue is found in the phrase < there was an evening and a morning! If God wanted long ages the language He created had perfectly fine words to use to convey...

    When to Leave Church

    Well if you mean rai9sing your hands in worship or shouting amen when the preacher says something great? I am very very guil;ty and proud of it! It is biblical! Well being a doctrinal teacher in my church- I have taught for years we do not worship or pray to the Holy Spirit. Just like I...
