Yes, very much so.

Thats the problem. Other denominations will say the same. Thats what causes the division. All it takes is a belief in the gospel. The partaking in the Body of Christ.

Yes its a very powerful message. I think its the only message that will work today. Considering that we have all this white noise of culture wars. People shaming and blaming each other, making two wrongs a right, looking to fight back and not turn the other cheek in pride. Looking to belittle...

Yes and stats show that liberals are more likely to support such ideas. Especially women. Which is what we see in mainstream society. So its interesting that the same beliefs and behaviours are reflected in the church. I think liberal or progressive ideology is linked back to the garden. The...

I love this stuff. I grew up in the suburbs but my mum and step dad bought a place in the middle of nowhere called Gulargambone. I was in the Boy Scouts and loved the adventure. I live on the coast now in Queensland but have dreamt about getting some land and going off grid. Theres cheap land...

I think the meanings of words and their value as to holding some truth and respect has deminished. Because everything has been brought into question and alternative possibilities have been proposed and even pushed. Or in reimagining words to mean something else. Or devaluing them by conflating...

I have followed the Kelly Family for years. I discovered their music by accident when I found a casette of their music in a car I bought. I don't think I would have ever known them or even chose their music. They were not commercial and really unknown outside Europe and Britain. But what caught...

I have had long discussions with JW. In fact we had myself as a traditional Christian, an atheist and a JW. We had some interesting discussions. But JW are too one dimensional. Its like a membership and you have to qualify to be a Christian. Like the Amish there are some who live apart from...

Therefore I think the time is ripe for a Billy Graham type preacher. But one that knows the modern world and how it thinks. In fact when Graham was preaching though he brought many to Christ. It was a culture which accepted and respected such preachers. The culture was more open to God and had...

Wow thats scary. I know of the secular efforts which are now being investigated such as (Signal) network. Which aims to block and impede ICE and dox them in the hope of them and their families being attacked. But now even churches are become passive political activists in the name of Christ...

Thankyou. Thats a comprehensive list and covers so many aspects that are true. I think relativism is the result of postmodernism. Which is really the age of self referentialism. Truth and reality come through the lens of (self) through experiences and feelings of the world. So there are many...

I think this is the true essense of the church. That people met in homes in back streets breaking bread. Christ was crucified and had risen and people were believing. The disciples were sharing the last supper and this spread throughout Jerusalem and into the surrounding areas. Little churches...

Lol yes, I am also on that forum. I thought I would explore other forums. Are you on this forum as well. I am also on the Kennel forum which is my football team that I follow. I am on a few forums. I don't like traditional social media like Facebook or Twitter. Yes I think to a large degree it...

I think Christ will represent heresay to different groups from the Sanhedrin, pagan rulers and Islam. Or anyone who denied the truth and hid in the darkness. The pagan rulers seen Christs truth lived out by Christians as heresay to the pagan gods and political system. All had to bow to the...

I don't think it matters which way as all ways will lead to the same place. To the cross. Christians are suppose to be unified in mind and spirit. So all Christians should come to the same mind and spirit. If it doesn't then that way was not the way. I disagree that there can be many...

I think if we compare the teachings and the way the early church lived. Then I think this kind of church would be completely different to todays church and many Christians. It seems the church gradually compromised and let the world in. Its so in bed with the world that proposing the church...

I have heard from a few Christian commentators about the recent happenings in the US and around the world with the culture war has unleashed a demonic force into the world. We know there is already a spiritual warfare going on already and has been for a long time. But it seems to have...

This sort of reminds me of the difference between (absolute and objective) morality. Absolute being that the moral is always right regardless of context. You can never lie. Whereas objective morality or what I prefer as moral realism is context based. The idea that within any moral situation...

There is a difference between hanging with tax collectors and gays or adulterers and these outcasts or sinners continuing to sin. Jesus told the adulterous women that "no one judged her and to go away and sin no more". Not to continue to do the same sin. So the LGBTIQ+ is welcome by Christ and...

I have been thinking about the age of false teachers and prophets in the context from the early church until today. When did the church stray ?. How did it stray ? ect and there has been many debates as to this. Which includes the demominal debates and how today the church is so divided. I...
