The most utterly stupid idea is to think you need to have power over someone in order to help them. Nonsense. Jesus taught HIS followers to be SERVANTS under others....not masters OVER others. So much for the idiocy of Christian politics. It's of the devil. People want to be seen as...

It's the HOW we do things that counts. God resists our certainties. The problems in the world are caused by the spiritual failures of the church. Believers want to be certain about everything. So does the world. Our religious certainties go hand in hand with the technological certainties...

I have heard it said...ludicrously...that Trump is a necessary evil, ordained by God. (The God who ordains necessary evils???)

The world is already deceived...but so is the church....for the most part. We lack knowledge of ourselves and our situation. We have let faith degenerate into religious belief and revelation into religion. Judgment begins with us. WE are the first ones responsible for the way the world is...

Don't assume that all non-Christians are evil. Many people who seek office do so with altruistic designs....although they have the mixture of wanting the power that goes with the devil's domain. A Christian is supposed to be wiser than that. Jesus resisted the temptation to take the short-cut...

No. A true disciple of Christ does not entangle himself with the affairs of this world. We have a different citizenship and a different ambassadorship. One can't get involved in politics without getting involved with the devil.

That's what God would say....where are you?

You are looking on the wrong level. God does not reveal Himself to the outer natural man. God isn't like us. (THANKFULLY) When you look in a person's eyes...are you studying the other from a scientific or robotic perspective? God is MORE intimate than people are. Infinitely so. God does not...

God loves you....but you are simply unknown to your true self and identity...created by God.

Can you say "Christian terrorist!" ;)

In the end no apologetic towards faith in or love of God will suffice as a determining factor to kindle a faith or love in another person. We believe and love because we were first loved by Him.

A lot of times a Christian will only understand a limited amount and even get things wrong based on scale. For instance there are those who believe in creeds....which has nothing whatsoever to do with faith. A creed is to faith as trainspotting is to transportation. Now this will come as news or...

How do you even know what nonsense is? What is the chemical formulation in your brain that makes something nonsense? Who and what are you...a rock? an accident of nature? What can you possibly know?

Anybody can say they are anything. If a person picks up a violin and makes terrible noises with it....will you give up on music?

That is the only passage that suggests that people can survive hell fire...but these are actual worshipers of the devil. All other passages show that people die.

There is cause to believe any number of things....from a human standpoint. But God is only perceived in the whole counsel of the bible brought together. The fires are eternal.....but the torment is not (for people). This is called "the second death." We are to fear God who can destroy both body...

The evidence is so overwhelming that a blind man could see it....but God is so wise that He can hide in plain sight so that only the blind are able to see. The wisdom of God is so great that many people can't see the obvious.

God is merciful....eternal torture is a myth....an old stratagem to get people in the pews. God is love.

People underestimate God and the depth of His calling. It's like the elephant in the dark room analogy. Everybody tries to judge God and the Christian life by the little teeny bit of experience they have....or lack thereof. Errors ensue. Add pride to that....and you have the history of the church,

The religious/secular dichotomy is artificial. It is a false dichotomy. Jesus came to mankind as a real person....not a religious figure or apparition. Being spiritual in Christ is in real time...in reality. When a person is healed by Jesus... is it secular or religious? Of course neither...
