No, it's not. It perfectly characterizes what you wrote. Suit yourself. Agreed. Paul was a believer, attacked by @Zao is life. And Zac gaslights this attack, calling it "utmost respect" for Paul! I hope he doesn't have such respect for me to call me a hypocrite for doing the Lord's work.

Oy vey! Reading comprehension. Who did the telling? A. The Spirit B. They (the disciples) Many are confused by agency in the Bible, where many do things "through" another. The CEV translation renders the verse "The Holy Spirit had told them to warn Paul not to go on to Jerusalem." A warning is...

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I'm reminded of the quip, it's not slavery, it's democratic slavery. Communism, by any other name, is evil and has 3 fatal flaws: Denies human nature. Communism appeals to the sin of coveting. People don't equally want material goods. As Aristotle...

This is a mischaracterization of the text. It was the disciples who told him not to go. It was the Spirit that told them what would happen. This does not mean the Holy Spirit told them to tell Paul not to go and he disobeyed. Acts 21:12 When we heard this, we and the people there urged him not...

The term gaslighting comes to mind ... You don't even have enough respect for Paul - or the readers of this thread - to admit to attacking an Apostle of Christ when you do it. That's gall! Your "objective analysis" is more gaslighting. You invent a standard designed to attack the Apostle...

Yea, since the tyrant Lincoln invaded the South and waged war against them. A master gas lighter, he was anything but an advocate of what he claimed. If he were, he would have peacefully reacted to the secession of the sovereign States who exercised such sovereign power. In his Masterpiece, The...

Reminds me of Isaiah, where things are upside down. Woe to those who confuse evil for good. The lawless are calling those who go by the law as lawless and the NPC masses uncritically go along with the day's talking point.

No way! Slavery would just have faded away as it did in other countries, through compensated emancipation. Compare to the cost to rent a car for a day compared to buying a new one outright. The cost difference is a function of the use difference. If someone bought a slave with the expectation...

A great speech from the Greatest Generation. His views are at odds with todays demonrat party.

Satan has taken ownership of the church. Instead of The Armor of God, Scripture is practically used only for prosperity and feeling good spiritually. I’m reminded of Jesus saying he does not know people who perform even miracles in his name because they did not take care of the least in...

I thought I’d tie this thread with this one. https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/church-choose-money-over-truth.64293/#post-1881767 I think there is a correlation.

This is an article, I feel needed to be written for a long time, decades. It’s clear to me the church has made itself irrelevant in the public square. It’s shifted to be overly spiritualized, ignoring the body, the soulful aspect of our being. Consequently, America suffers from bad governance...

Yea, many accuse the other side of idolatry. No one says Obama or Trump is my god. We are Trump supporters and loyal to his cause. Loyalty is considered naive today, lambasted as idolizing the man.

I heard someone say the voting will not fix this.

I wonder how many Democrat supporters this dictatorial power play has woken up to the evils of the Demonrat party.

I read a book about inflation because it is so misunderstood. Akin to temperature being a measure of heat, rising prices is a measure of inflation. By definition, inflation is an increase in the money supply relative to the growth of the economy. Doubling the money supply several times since...

There are FAR worse problems with EV's. In the real world, there are pros and cons to every option. Socialists seek utopia but that is an ideal not a practical reality.

Not sure what this has to do with your contempt for innocent family members of a would be assassin.

Nope! No one does that with their public servants.

Total nonsense. Ever hear of: The Battle of Tours, 732? Crusades 1100-1300? Reconquest of Spain, 1492? Battle of Vienna, 1683? 9/11? Oct 7? The entire Bible is a story of the war of Good v Evil. It ends with the Battle of Armageddon, which Jesus fights in, by the way! What are you even talking...
