I think his concern for people is genuine and that he wants to have no potential theological barriers between himself and others. Surely if he came out as a Christian it would alienate some people he is trying to reach, as right now all they know is this man has profound teachings that resonate...

My grandmother had one of those washing machines down in the spring house. Which was a room under the house through which a spring flowed to provide them water. During Sunday lunches, there may have been a watermelon chilling in the spring house that we would enjoy. These were the long...

Nether were those driven out under Mosaic law. Didn't God still hold these practices against them? We should be careful on what we receive. God doesn't share a bunch of useless knowledge to get people all puffed up. Our first concern is what is beneficial to others. This is his primary...

You are assuming I was against you when I built an argument on both you guy's quotes to try and expose potential misunderstandings. Now that @mjrhealth can see your denials perhaps he will change his mind, or he could be even more confused by your armchair Christianity. I would advise him not...

It is reasonable to assume Shnarkle refers to himself as one who is chosen to enter into the New Covenant. Then based on his statement quoted above he is enabled to keep God's laws perfectly. And this assumption is reinforced by the challenge issued: "Do you keep God's laws perfectly?" In...

Merry Christmas @Funny bird Even when we are unfaithful, he is Faithful. Therefore take comfort in your mental infirmity, because you can not trust your own judgement. Trust that God loves you, and nothing can separate you from his love. It isn't because of anything you do or believe, but...

I'm surprised a school is even doing Chrstmas Carols, I would prefer they didn't at all instead of changing the words.

Fear of death and injury is a useful motivational tool to get the carnal minded to comply with your will.

Matthew 7:13. Tells us that broad is the road. 1 Peter 5:8. Describes the enemy as a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. So it would seem the enemy isn't at all selective who is his slave or victim.

What the liberal churches do is their business. But it is a sad fact that on the surface you can't distinguish the difference between some of these churches and the Lucifarians.

I cancelled Netflix a couple years ago, as I saw offensive content appear in the Netflix originals. Recently I signed up for Disney plus to watch Mandalorian.

I figured you already knew, would be a shame to fast for no good reason. There are much more effective ways to lose weight.

The verses against gluttony are related to self control for one's own wellbeing so you don't waste money, and in consideration for the poor who are going hungry while you indulge. If you need proof look at how the world shuns fatties and celebrates gay pride. Even murderous hatred is a virtue...

Nevertheless identifying gay relations as sinful is a necessary step, because the argument that it is not sinful is prevalent and the basis homosexuals use to gain acceptance of their behavior without repentance. Hipocracy is a separate issue and should not be conflated.

The argument that Christians are hypocrites for allowing some sins but not others... Reminds me of the verse that goes: The name of God is blaspemed among the gentiles because of you. This in no way lessens the individual responsibility to flee sin. But it does make their witness...

The scripture says in Matthew 10:28: Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Notice that the worms do not die, nether does the fire quench. It says nothing of people sent there living...

Indeed. Hell is a real place, spiritual in nature, for the souls of the damned to wait-out eternity. They will be with demons who were also separated from God long ago. Here their souls do suffer, and will eventually die.

Posting personally identifiable information is not permitted under the rules, even if it was given by @David Taylor himself via his profile. So I removed the personal information and links thereto.

Very glad for God's hand in this situation.

Thinking on this for the past few days, Ezekiel 16:6 paints a nasty picture of someone wounded and bleeding out. Sin has separated us from God and has left a grievous wound. And that is the tie-in with Isaiah 1:18. Healing comes by being bathed as is mentioned in the psalms, an allusion to...
