    The Elephant in the Room

    You’re misreading what the bible says. Jesus did not say “go out and buy a sword” just for symbolism. Luke 22: 36 was pretty clear: “he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.” That is a command. It is not a parable. The disciples presented two swords and Jesus said, “It is...

    The Elephant in the Room

    “The Elephant in the Room” is your echoing the left’s lies and perpetuating the same hate they peddle. All you’re really proving is just how indoctrinated you’ve become. The left brazenly promotes everything God condemns: advocating for the murder of unborn children (Exodus 20:13), redefining...

    The Elephant in the Room

    You’re wrong again about what Charlie Kirk said. He didn’t say that it’s a “good thing” to have gun deaths. Listen to the video. He said that we’ll never get gun deaths to zero in this fallen world and that the Second Amendment is worth preserving even though people will tragically misuse guns...

    I do know, so I am standing UP.

    The Elephant in the Room

    “There is a right and there is a wrong”, and you are wrong about Charlie Kirk. Hate does beget hate, but what Mr. Kirk did was not hate, it was courage. He stood on the truth of God’s Word, spoke boldly for life, family, and faith, and defended the right to protect the innocent. That is not a...

    The Elephant in the Room

    False Christians live by feelings and opinions, true Christians live by the truths of Scripture. The Bible does not make us defenseless pacifists. Exodus 22 gives us the right to defend our home and our lives. Jesus Himself did not tell His disciples to put down their swords (Luke 22:36). We are...

    Why the World Hates the Truth: Lessons from the Tragic Death of Charlie Kirk

    I agree that the brainwashed children are now trying to gain the power. Their cup of hatred has overflowed, and a lot of it is directed at Christians. But more authoritarian government is not going to fix that, it will just replace one evil with another. The Bible tells us the problem is man’s...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    Romans states it plainly: righteousness comes apart from works, by faith. “To him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith shall be counted for righteousness” (Romans 4:5). Abraham was considered righteous when he believed God (Genesis 15: 6; Galatians 3:6)...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    You are adding to what the text actually says. Paul could not be clearer: “To him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” (Romans 4:5). That is justification apart from works. Abraham was declared righteous before he offered...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    Paul’s clear teaching, in line with the rest of the Bible, is that justification is by faith apart from works of the law. “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law” (Rom. 3:28). “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    I agree that the teaching of “once saved, always saved” the way the OSAS crowd presents it is deadly error. It gives people false security while they continue in sin, and it leads many souls to hell every single day.

    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    I think this is a much-needed discussion. You’re right that violence only begets violence, and that is precisely why Christians are called to a different way of responding than the world. The Bible is very clear on this: “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21)...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    Paul does not contradict Jesus in Galatians 3; he explains how the law can’t save. The Bible says the law is holy, just, and good (Romans 7:12). But no one can perfectly keep the law. The law brings a curse and reveals our need for Christ. That’s why Paul said, “Cursed is everyone that...

    Why Many Miss God, and How to Truly See Him

    In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:4 Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). It’s not just a...

    just thinking what's your input

    I’m in favor of arresting criminals and murderers by all means. If DNA is going to help crack cold cases and bring justice, then so be it. It paves the way for biological weapons that are designed to attack specific groups of people based on their genetic traits. That’s no longer science...

    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    I don’t know where you got your thoughts that I said the things you are saying. I never said murder cannot be forgiven. I said, “also praying that this man might repent and hear the gospel in prison before he faces God’s ultimate justice.” Means I believe even a murderer can be forgiven if he...

    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    I hear your heart in this and I know you want to respond in a Christ-like way. But I don’t think the Bible calls us to feel sorry for a man who murders another person in cold blood. God is very clear that murderers are to be held responsible for their sins. Genesis 9: 6 says, “Whoso sheddeth...

    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    I think you gave some good advice here, especially about staying calm in a dangerous situation. That makes a huge difference. I also agree with you that as Christians, we’re told to protect our families. Scripture says if a man doesn’t provide for his household, he’s worse than an unbeliever (1...

    Breaking Free From Fake Religion

    Your reference to the “latter end” being worse is a very good point from 2 Peter 2:20–21, “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than...

    How Should Christians Respond in an Age of Rage?

    We are in an age of rage. Rage is the norm, and it’s on display across society. News media. Social media. Politics. Anger toward a person like Charlie Kirk is not merely a matter of opinion or disagreement, it tells us something important about their heart. Jesus said it in John 8:44: “You are...
