Main points: A. Pastor's salaries are unbiblical B. The authority gospel ministers have to collect from people only involves food and water, according to Scripture. C. Paul often (maybe never?) used this authority. He worked to provide for himself and those with him with his own hands and...

Thanks @amigo de christo

Some amazing thoughts. Being able to honestly reflect on your own faults and learn--- its a rare jewel. Humility.

I try to keep my expectations low and do a lot of drive by posts. I can't remember arguing back and forth in recent times. I should get a glitter sticker for letting so many users get the last word. Maybe I should create an online persona that is never wrong and is sent by God to correct...

I think Im in agreement. It's good to see you posting. I hope you are doing really well.

God bless everyone here.

Sometimes I am tempted to opt out of suffering to stay on the narrow path. There are moments where I simply want friends and a life of ease and comfort, even if it means subscribing to the easy lies I see in churches today. But I just want to say that I will continue to obey Jesus. Even though...

Thank you for saying this. Ive been so discouraged with all these terrible things I cannot control. My continuing in the Scriptures and prayer has suffered. You are right. We have the Lord. So we aren't alone.

I see John 10:28-29 being used to support eternal security again. John 10:28-29 King James Version 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to...

I seem to be the first or only non eternal security believer to join this discussion. I enjoy being somewhat aloof. I don't expect many people to be willing to give up their cherished beliefs on salvation at this point. But here goes... I have a list of Scriptures too... My story is that I...

I admire this. Even now just the sense of disconnect and isolation I feel from churchgoers in general is extreme. Im glad you have found the strength to live out such an unpopular conviction to honor the Lord. There are so many things that we dont agree with in churches already. You already...

@Aunty Jane brings up some good points. The topic at hand is the pagan origins of Christian holidays. It shouldn't matter if someone also holds to beliefs you don't agree with if they are bringing up fair points to the topic at hand. I have been in a strange place for a long time now. I don't...

Patience. Im not usually

Many in western countries ( Hello from the U S) are obsessed with fairness. The Bible is not. I gathered 75 verses pertaining to women in Scripture. The language is purposefully humbling. Words like silence, submission and subjection are used, with Paul explaining that it was Eve who was...

I don't want to be this person who worries all the time anymore. Jesus told us not to worry. While today is today, I really just want to hold on to what is good. I have deleted several social media accounts and am back in Scripture. It's a lovely day outside.

We have recently come through a multi year crisis that was mostly on his shoulders. With the end comes relief but a host of other negative feelings too.

I am convinced prayer is a means of survival. Thank you all for praying. Today I feel like I was finally able to focus on the goodness of the Lord again and not all the negativity around me.

Could use prayer. Sought counseling from a Mom stress specialist and she wouldn't accept me. Left a voicemail in the morning for a Christian counseling center and no one called back. They are likely swamped. No church membership either. The negative thoughts are hard to keep at bay. My husband...

I try to keep to myself but the things happening and being celebrated are affecting me. It's an evil society and its getting worse all the time. Sometimes the darkness seems like its trying to creep in to my mentality. I understand better why we have to pray without ceasing. It's the only hope...
