    The Christian Resurrection vs. the Jew's Resurrection

    Who is this mysterious "some"? Honestly, I'm not sure what distinction you are making here for it seems a bit esoteric to me. Years ago my baby daughter asked me for another cookie. I had given her a cracker. Rather than tell her she used the wrong word, I gave her what I knew she wanted...

    Intolerance And Judgmentalism In A Christian Forum?

    True but I believe @BarnyFife's point is there is far too much disagreeableness when we disagree. As my wife is fond of saying, it's not about religion but relationships. When I divorced my 1st wife, my family of origin was so against it, we no longer talk. Their passion for their opinions...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    I already answered but you ignored the posts where many kings mother's were not queen's, including David.

    Refuting soul sleep, aka dirt nap doctrine

    Seems Enoch's post explains Genesis take on us being eternal is inconsistent with the rest of Genesis. Well said Enoch!

    I don't know but it is irrelevant.

    What sort of assumption makes one think.......

    Killing is not murder.

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Except in the real world, it just aint so. Take the longest running monarch in human history, Queen Elizabeth II. Her mother was not queen. The mother of the monarch is called 'the queen's mother' and if Elizabeth was male, 'the king's mother'. NOTE: Queen Elizabeth's husband is not the king but...

    Intolerance And Judgmentalism In A Christian Forum?

    Just to confirm; did you mean anyone NOT able to laugh at themselves may be insufficiently pious? I think people who can’t laugh at themselves take themselves entirely too seriously.

    Intolerance And Judgmentalism In A Christian Forum?

    Bishop Chaput pointed out that tolerance is not a Christian virtue. He added that evil begs for tolerance, then when common, condemns good.

    Intolerance And Judgmentalism In A Christian Forum?

    I’ve been thinking lately about how the Adversary used Scripture in his temptation of Christ. Those who seek righteousness risk becoming self-righteous. I liberally use the ignore feature.

    Can non-virgins marry?

    My thoughts exactly. Today in America, most people are not virgins when they get married. My advice to @FluffyYellowDuck is patience, keep growing in Christ and strive to become the woman worthy of the man you want to be with. A coworker who is 61 yo, asked me recently how long one has to not...

    God and political parties

    Well let me explain: LEVEL 1, FAMILIAL: A Democrat who assumed their parents religion and politics without giving it much thought or involvement beyond superficial. LEVEL 2, NOMINAL: A Democrat who honestly believes, as my parents did, I the mantra of ‘Democrats are for the little guy and I’m...

    God and political parties

    I understand no one likes to be called evil - even though we are all to one extent or another. There are 3 levels of Democrats and only one is truly evil. The Buddha said Calling things by their proper name is the beginning of wisdom. The most glaring example of evil from the Democrats is...

    God and political parties

    I guess I’m a bit of a deist in that regard. In today’s Devotional reading, Paul gave a couple of backsliders up to the Adversary. We live in a fallen world and I rely on the conditional verse of God’s blessing. 2 Chronicles 7:14-15 New Living Translation 14 Then if my people who are called...

    God and political parties

    If Christians don’t involve themselves in politics, we condemn ourselves to be ruled by the godless. Our God is a god of order. One can see the chaos with the push of 57 genders, expanding to Babel language and the ascendency of Islamic Sharia Law in the US due to their having no such...

    God and political parties

    Except for occasional lip service, most Democrat leaders have disdain for the idea of God. They know little of their non-voluntary agenda is in Scripture.

    Refuting soul sleep, aka dirt nap doctrine

    Where do you get this idea? I like it. Just not sure I can find it in Scripture, especially with God creating Adam and there being a 2nd death. Seems as temporal as can be.

    The jabs don't work

    Look. We don't need people like you throwing around facts and logic. The science is whatever we say the science is and you better follow the science or we will make you follow the science. And I'm only forcing you against your will because I care about you and others. :confused:

    Does God Consult Other Heavenly Beings?

    I was taught Elohim mean heavenly beings. Not sure how you reduce that to 3. I don't think there are only 3 classes of heavenly beings. From Hierarchy of angels - Wikipedia. Does this not suggest the Archangel Lucifer was a relatively lowly angel? Highest orders Seraphim Cherubim Thrones...

    Does God Consult Other Heavenly Beings?

    Not sure why you are personalizing this. Interesting how you parse 'consult' from 'include.' How do you include someone in a decision without consulting them? LOL The hostility toward Scripture explicitly stating God asked His Council what to do, then acted on what they said, is fascinating.
