I’ve long recognized the dangerous “can” of comparing POTENTIAL to actual. What you say again ignores efficiency. I recall that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where a master swordsmen displays his combat expertise …. You know the scene.

Repeating a lie doesn‘t make it true. There is no verse in Scripture that opposes corporeal punishment. Of course you read into verses anything you want. Agh ha. False.

Yes and there is NO REASON parents should abdicate corporeal punishment as a means of punishment.

Because “assault” and “abuse” is not corporeal punishment. Beating a child with a rod is Biblically proscribed reaction to wayward children. Your emotionally charged words are falsely applied to those one has no authority over to those one does have authority over. And it is you who fail to...

I answered this already; immediacy of painful consequences.

Yes. Now that we live in a faLen world, there is the righteous use of violence. God didn’t eject Adam and Eve through persuasion but force.

The Bible does not say to hold corporeal punishment in reserve, only to be used as a last resort.

What is your way of helping the people of Iran from the oppressive Islamic regime? Odo Amoris (aka America First) makes one peoples concern about another only a thing when the other is threatening. And I don't mean on an individual basis. I mean when a people as a whole are represented by their...

As I see it, this is the inevitable confusion that flows from non-literal expression. For instance, "the temple" is used 100's of times in Scripture to refer to Solomon's temple. Christ says he'll rebuild it in 3 days. "It" in context is undeniably Solomon's temple. Jesus never explains to his...

A rare public mea culpa. Refreshing humility. Agreed. The need to unplug, connect to nature and remember to take all thoughts captive in obedience to Christ. Easy to say . Not always easy to do. Yes. We are the light and the salt. I’m reminded of a saying on my local Christian radio station...

This is why we can’t go back in time; every particle in the universe would have to return to where it was and at 500K mph, at lest, it would take an infinite amount of energy.

Huh? Peculiar anti-semitism there.

Exactly! As far as I know, Jesus saying give to Caesar what is Caesar's and Give to God what is God's is the first expression in history asserting limits to government. Those who've strayed from the narrow path due to TDS or over-spiritualization suppose nothing besides taxes belongs to Caesar...

Have you had such dreams? I believe it is obvious what God is revealing to me. It’s that I need to be far more vigilant in identifying spiritual dangers.

I had a demonic recurring dream last night that I want to share and wonder if anyone has had similar experiences. First, it was a lucid dream; I was ware that I was dreaming. Second, it was dark, a void. From the deep an orange-reddish light appeared and grew to consume my field of view but as...

Very true. That Trmp didn’t need to enter politics is a point blue collar workers made to me time and again in 2016. They knew he was a beloved celebrity, winning racial improvement awards with the likes of Rosa Parks and Jesse Jackson, only to be called a racist for his America First public...

Patently false.

Shouldn’t Christian’s compare everyone to Jesus Christ? WWJD comes from this idea, doesn’t it?

So says the overly-spiritualized, denying millions of Christians acting to the contrary over the centuries! The Christianization of the Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire. The Crusades. The Founding of America based mostly on the Bible. Colonies who established various Christian State...

Obviously. When a rebuttal begins with an abject false statement, you know there is an agenda. As a Christian, I don’t have to be faithful to my wife … BLAH … BLAH … BLAH … <RATIONALIZATION, exception> … BLAH … BLAH … BLAH. Truth is, Christians are expected to be faithful to their spouse...
