The government will never be a good substitute for the care of loving, responsible parents. I used to want to be a public school teacher. I am glad I didn't go that route. My desire to nurture, I believe now, was misled. Teachers cannot do what parents can do unless they sacrifice everything...

Both. Based on 2 Cor 5 and Revelation 20.

Titus 2:13-14 King James Version 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. I see a lot...

Amen! 1 John 3:7 King James Version 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

:D \o/

I think it can also be conceited to say that no one has absolute truth. Because that is assuming you are the wise one that sees around all the beliefs.

I don't know. Its not always possible to feel affection for your enemies. Sometimes, loving action is the only option?

Paul wrote that we should all speak the same things. 1 Corinthians 1:10 King James Version 10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same...

I never said you weren't Christian. I also said theres nothing wrong with being stubborn by itself. You are taking what I said a bit harshly. Ill just leave you alone for a while. I hope with time, you can see I wasn't trying to simply put you down.

Watching peoples hearts... that does make it harder to find a church.

By that logic, how do you know any of the commands of the Bible apply to you? Because Jesus didn't say specifically, "MatthewG, love your enemy." we would have to assume Jesus wasn't addressing you on that or anything else. If Jesus was only talking to specific groups at a specific time, how...

Right. Which means everything is not subjective, which is what you said earlier. Oh, no doubt that people are going to do what they want. Control over adults is an illusion. We can only influence people, maybe, at best. Please don't take this as a diss. You are my brother and I care about...

Lol. I just know that most people don't like being filmed while working and prefer a basic level of trust from their bosses. At the same time though, I really get why parents would want cameras installed. Maybe Im on the fence about this one. Maybe a good middle ground is having cameras that...

An interesting idea. Im unsure about cameras being everywhere in schools because thats so invasive. I think it's enough to be a good parent and be a presence in your child's life and their school life and let teachers know that they are being held accountable... That is if you're not like me...

So I can't really tell you anything, right? No one can, if everything is subjective. However, I don't think anyone actually believes that or can operate in a way that is totally consistent with that. We were made for truth.

I think its frustrating when someone puts out strong beliefs but then deflect challenges on those beliefs by saying everything is subjective and that its all a matter of opinion, @MatthewG. If you didn't think you were right, you wouldn't have mentioned anything. Ideally, either admit that...

Need to pray about what to say next.

That is the point of a debate thread.

It's not that I don't care about your testimony. But the OP is about supernatural faith healing not happening today, so I wanted to stay on topic.

The same power that resurrected Jesus is in us (Romans 8:11). It's God in us that does the healing. We could never heal supernaturally on our own. Jesus' timeline is what we live in yes. But I am not in agreement with cessationism, which is the belief that certain spiritual gifts were only for...
