Clearly the devil talking to you is not a military tactician or strategist.

I am thankful that God gave the US the atomic bombs before aggressive, expansionist countries such as Germany & Japan. I am thankful that more of my parent's generation were not required to sacrifice themselves to the satanic forces unleashed on the world by Germany & Japan. I am thankful...

There are very few Christians who have not felt compelled to disobey the law, or know someone who has, since morality has become increasingly politicized. I agree with the comment "we must follow the exception principle regarding civil disobedience, we should do so respectfully, prepared to...

"Rationalizing" is the process of evaluating each situation considering all the facts. If there is a future nuclear war it will have nothing to do with little boy & fat man ... it is about the ceaseless progress of science. Germany, Japan & Soviet Union were all looking into nuclear weapons...

The problem is that most people have looked at Romans 10 & 11 - those who support Replacement Theology (Supersessionism) and those who support Dual Covenant Theology (Dispensationalism) - and have come to different conclusions. I think that Biblical prophecy and historical events combine to...

Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body...

What about the culpability of the doctor who performed the abortion and the parents who approved it? Every situation must be assessed on all the factors involved, not an external rigid template. This is what Joseph Fletcher (an Anglican theologian) called "situation ethics". He believed in moral...

The only way any system of "moral theology" can be evaluated is by how it relates to real life situations. The abortion of an embryo carried by a 10 year old girl who had been raped, challenges moral absolutes.

I am not well enough informed to make a decision about the positive versus negative aspects of AI ... unfortunately neither are the AI developers.

In another thread we are discussing whether the atomic bombs dropped on Japan killing innocent people was justified ... you will find Christians on both sides of that debate.

If we are still here to reap the benefit. This popped up in my news feed this morning Anthropic researcher quits saying AI developers believe 'it could kill us all'

You make some good points but I still have to ask - whose Christian moral theology? The Catholic Church does not approve of contraception yet some other churches do.

I have tried that but I've found that soon they are blaspheming the Gospel so I back off. I often find it difficult balancing being prepared to give an answer for what we believe and not casting pearls before swine. Any advice?

Whose Christian morality? All churches I know support the use of lethal force to bring down a shooter killing children in school with a machine gun.

That is only one side of the issue - Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29) What would you do in this situation? Here in some Australian states, a pastor can be sentenced to a maximum of 10 years jail for praying with a person who...

Let's not forget that allied troops were made up of fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons being killed ... if defeating Japan was important for world peace, then it was a matter of deciding which action would result in the lower number of casualties - invasion or using the atomic bombs. Most...

Christians believe that as a matter fact because the Bible says so. However, trying to explain to an unbeliever who asks how or why Jesus' death & resurrection saves us, is more challenging.

I am opposed to abortion but this case challenges my position. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/indiana-doctor-defends-actions-in-10-year-old-rape-victims-abortion

Anyone who murders has underlying problems ... that is not an excuse. Penalties under the law are there to act as deterrence.
