Depending on how you define "us," the problem is always us.

Not on the forums but in real life, a standard I often used is to ask whether the person asked my opinion of what is true and right. If they did not ask, odds are they don't want to hear what you have to say.

I know you said this in another thread. Here are examples of the dynamics that I see. PERSON A: Hey buddy, your fly is down. PERSON B: No, it's not. Who are you to judge? I'm sick of all the condescension. How do you define fly? How do you define down? I'm not your buddy. You're so...

"Clean" is 2 parter, comprising E 4-5. I cried near the end of Ep 5. The personality, background and emotion of the scene's are VERY powerful. It made me understand something about Scripture that always confused me. Why did Christ tell people not to tell of his miracles? The answer is he did...

In a book I am reading, it pointed out that Jesus did not reason and argue with Satan. He merely stood on truth, stood on what Scripture actually says and applying it correctly. I like to believe I did the same thing here. I am not fighting over words, per se. That is, I am not fighting over...

Is there any evil ideology Christians reject wadr?

It's kind of a works doctrine, isn't it? I grew up being told in order to be right with God, not only did I have to go to confession, I had to ritually say certain prayers over and over again. Such as saying 4 of the Lord's Prayer and 3 Hail Mary's. Ever say the Rosary? By ones' work of...

Of course, Christianity is a religion. In fact, it’s the worlds biggest religion. The expression is meant to distinguish Christianity, to make it holy, to set it apart from what appears to the outside world as mindless RITUALS and STONY/ARBITRARY DOCTRINES. This is true even though all...

Sadly, I put him on ignore a long time ago.

Me too, except it's LORD, which has no phonetic difference with capitalization. The point is who is it that we call the singular being, Father? I advise what God said his personal name was Ex 3:15, YHWH.

To say Trump was too soft makes you a special human being. Bless your heart. I agree with you but that is hindsight.

You do realize that 'father' is a relational name, not a personal name, right? While our lord is the Son of God, we know "Son" is not his personal name.

What part of Romans 10:13, that @Robert Gwin cited, do you not get? I'm confident YHWH makes allowances for language difference he created and the cultures in which we developed. For instance, most Americans probably don't know God has a name. They may simply call out to "God." I know I did...

I do believe this about Islam. I pray for Muslims for I know the Islamic penalty for apostasy is death. As a history buff, I know the 1400 year history of Islam qualifies it truly as the scourge of mankind. I believe the angel who came to Muhammad and told him to recite, write the Koran, is not...

Well honey, I aint talking about surpluses or deficits. I am talking about debt - the accumulation of all past deficits. I believe the last time we had a surplus, Teddy Roosevelt was President.

No. I did not fail a test because there was none. Both are true. Just because you did not say something, does not mean it is not true. No one will deny that Scripture must be rightly divided. I deny your implied claim that you - and only you - rightly divide Scripture.

I've stopped you from deflecting and stay on point. Big difference. You are the one who wouldn't let it go, who kept asserting an evil ideology is the same as an ideology that is not evil. Rather than concede, you are the one who kept deflecting. How all this connects to the OP is that if you...

Agreed. Not permitting a woman assume authority over a man probably already has more than one thread. They are not one in the way you want. That's why what Scripture actually says here sounds like they are not one. They are not one in the way you want. If they were one in the way you want...

@RLT63, can you field this one? God invented sex and animals are unrestrained. Moral humans are supposed to be monogamous, i.e., one man and one woman.

Agreed. Because we don't have a parlimentary system, but winner take all, it forces a polarizing 2-party system. In truth, there is one party, with a D-wing and an R-wing of the party. Proof is seen in the singular political issues I've had for nearly 4 decades, the debt. No matter who holds...
