Perhaps? Over-spiritualization. Again Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, AND all these things will be given to you as well. Do you see the word perhaps or the word "will", a change in material circumstance WILL be given to you as well?

There is no exception Lizbeth. That is just the word that Trump used to refer to a Great Spiritual Renewal where we return to Jesus. Although he is aware of the battle against principalities and dark spiritual forces, he ran for public office. In that capacity he has the bully pulpit and he is...

Just because some prayer for material change in circumstance are denied does not mean God never grants a material change in circumstances. You are attacking the reason most people in the Bible believed. I find that very odd manifestation of over-spiritualization. They saw and believed. What did...

Another anti-truth. Part of Trump's mission is to Make America Religious Again. No President advocated buying a patriotic Bible before. No President was miraculously saved by an assassins bullet in front of all the world. No President credited his salvation to God for the purpose of MAGA.

Yes, I just did call that rampant over-spiritualization of Christianity. (It's odd that you fairly regularly ask a question I just answered ). Our future resurrection IS a change in our circumstance. Changing our circumstances is what God's business is all about. And not just in the far away...

Not rather but AND change our circumstance is what we can look to God for. Jesus did not pray the Apostles in the boat would be brave in the face of the storm that kills them. He stopped the storm, thereby changing their circumstances. As I see it, your post is indicative of the rampant...

I'm making a different point. My point has nothing to do with marks but you and your tactic of claiming Jesus is not a human person. You think that tactic is effective and blame the reader for missing the point or not being educated. I believe your tactic is ineffective for the reasons stated.

Not an answer to my question. You have failed to show that sex without intent to marry constitutes marriage as the case with Judah proves. You got nothing to say about that. Just ignore that scenario because you're emotionally invested in your reading of a case with intent, which presumably...

Have to stop judicial tyranny. They act as a super legislature and a super executive. Stop activist judges with jurisdiction in only one district from issuing orders that apply outside their jurisdiction. Issuing nation wide injunctions is absurd.

It is well with my soul. Following Jesus gives me peace internally that surpasses all understanding. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I am protected, rested, strengthened, comforted and honored.

But it is illustrative to compare that Trump did more in 3 weeks than Biden did in 4 years to: Secure borders End wars Stop waste, fraud and abuse Destroy the Deep State Deport the millions of invaders Biden let in Strengthen military End woke DEI policies Protect women by prohibiting men from...

Both are true. God is generally passive. We know this because of the rarity of miracles. During Creation, he set the laws of the physical universe up and pretty much leaves it alone. Yet, God is somewhat active in my life. He's not as active in my life as with each beat of my heart but he...

I gave you a clue with this post but you ignored it. This approach @Matthias invites criticism as word play as @marks has stated. If Jesus is not physically from Nazareth, then where is he physically from, East LA, the Bronx? Rejecting dualism is defensible but not this word play. This is not...

It is implied because of what you don't write about, how you triumphed over feminism.

Again, not sure what the LOL is all about. I suppose you denying being a feminist is a sort of triumph over feminism. Did I ever tell you that I raised 4 girls? 3 are nurses. The 4th runs a home for the mentally impaired. They've turned out to be solid wives and mothers. Very proud of them, I...

So, you just disregard Judah having sex with his daughter-in-law but had no intention of marrying her. He thought she was a prostitute, which implies she knew he was a fornicator?

I don’t agree. It pivots on intent. Judah had sex with his daughter-in-law but had no intention of marrying her. He thought she was a prostitute, which implies she knew he was a fornicator. Sex with your spouse is not considered immoral. Both fornication and adultery are considered immoral...

Marks, what @Matthias is saying is very simple and not dependent on his considerations. The official dogma as shown by credal statements evolved over time. If you don’t want to admit there was an evolution of what is considered orthodoxy, it doesn’t change the fact. And @Matthias has done a...

This is prudent unless you subscribe to the notion that lying is a vice that unequally applies to one sex.
