Sounds like you take ZERO RESPONSIBILITY to speak the truth in love. It's all about how sensitive the other person is, not how horribly lacking the speaker is in speaking gracefully. Years ago my Pastor warned of those like you. Never tell people to not be so sensitive. The more sensitive they...

Projecting. It is you are not answering Scripture, preferring to substitute the words of Paul with the words of our Lord and Savior who said many things to suggest we not have the arrogance expressed here: that he may not know us EVEN THOUGH we perform miracles in his name, although a...

That's half the Gospel. Jesus kingdom will be of this world and his servants will fight. Jesus will rule on earth with a rod of iron. Revelation 2:27 Revelation 2:24-29 24 “I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, those who have not held to the teachings of Jezebel and who remain ignorant of the...

IMO, too much is made of this. Water baptism is merely a public event symbolizing the spiritual transformation that has already occurred internally. It's not a magical event - it symbolizes the Holy Spirit's power to draw you to God, ending your life of the flesh as you submerge, and being born...

God loves justice. Generally, we want justice for others an grace for ourselves. Grace is divine and justice keeps it real. We don't worship a one-dimensional God.

Getting carried away is not inherent among Christians; it is inherent in the dogs of war being unleashed. Regrettable, yes. Unavoidable, also yes. The Crusaders bear no special guilt in this regard - especially as they were REACTING to centuries of provocation by Islamic Jihadi's. That is, they...

Pastor Steve is against the peace deal as it leaves the blood thirsty regime in power to rebuild.

This guy limits defending the faith to verbal argument, even when the attack against Christian nations is physical violence! See his posts in the thread Reasons For the Crusades.

I saw a few vids a few weeks ago that prompted me to start this thread. When I have time, I’ll post some of her vids on her experiences studying literature in Ivy League schools. It reminded me of my own experience in “social studies,” as I love history. In our common experience of...

That would be a half gospel for the Lake of Fire and Second Death is not a violent free event Executed by our Lord.

Yes, as long as we recognize that real faith is not merely lip service. In today’s devotional reading 1 John 1:6-9 So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. 7 But if we are living in the light, as God is in...

It’s an answer to your diversion that you don’t like!

The pattern has repeated throughout history.

The things you read on the internet Behold denies a born again person to sin, to do bad deeds. He calls it "works of the flesh." I fear his semantic argument won't hold up on Judgment Day.

Some people have an agenda. There's one poster who rails against "interfaith" no matter the thread topic. I agree with this also. Some carry debates and resentments from one thread to another. We can't talk about X with civility because we disagreed about Y.

I never knew how Portugal came into existence. My paternal grandmother is from Portugal.

Christianity has always been weaponized. Jesus with his whip and Peter with his sword. There can be no peace with evil.

Putting it in modern English, so I can understand It: But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners. I didn’t answer it because it’s a distraction to the OP, presuming salvation depends on our righteousness rather than...

Compared to you, ignoring Christ’s words on the point.

No love at all, really. Pretending to speak for the masses is just a deflection of what is really a confession of the confinement you put yourself in the expanse of consideration. In talking with you, you reveal the only intellectual tool you have is a hammer, forcing every problem to be a...
