Wrong. Both provide. How'd you get to work? Drive on roads provided and maintained by government.

This thread is 100% about what you call "just a little side thing." Feel free to post in other threads those topics you deem worthy to be the main thing. The obstructionist, defeatist mentality among so many in Christiandom is terribly misguided. Our forefather used to Scripture to make the...

Lizbeth, you are sadly misguided. Our society allows worship of Baal in the form of baby killing. Individually, some may repent while other's don't. Yet, in the field of politics, we can collectively repent by not allowing baby killing. The idea that participating in the political process...

I already quoted you saying exactly that Peter is the rock. If you cannot believe your own words, that's a problem - for you.

Mary, you are so confused. I do not belong to your denomination. No one in the RCC rules over me. Thank God! This line of questoning shows your morphing into Ad Homenim, really having nothing to do with the abuse of power of the RCC.

You keep talking out of both sides of your mouth. Now, you are expanding the claim to include other Apostles, pretending like there is not the word for plural references, "these." Why do you keep ignoring my question, if Peter was the rock, why did the apostle Paul call Christ the ROCK (1...

Agreed, there are ambiguous texts in Scripture. A couple of points to keep in mind: The Bible is rich in poetic license, which means not all sentences are intended to meet strict technically literal communication. There are other verses that are explicit which must supercede verses that are...

If only your posts were edifying. You think you are brilliant to recognize politics is carnal? Guess what? We have bodies! If taking care of our bodies were irrelevant to God’s plan, Jesus would not have fed the 5,000, healed the sick, lame and blind. The idea that Christianity advocates an...

We've been over this. the Bible does not say to go to the dentist every 6 months. Yet, the ADA still recommends it.

Nope! It can also be done through political means.

You know this post could be made in every thread? This thread is about the practical, the art of politics. Why do you muddy it up with theological? Said differently, get off your high horse! And? Besides do the theological, what are you advocating in the practical realm of politics? Just an...

Not practical. We have burden to work until the 2nd Coming, not skate on responsibility.

So, abandon the good fight on the field of politics?! What a defeatest mentality!

Sad but many in Christiandom have made themselves irrelevant. Yes, Scripture says we have to do our part - ask, knock, seek. Such Christians don’t enter the arena, d t do their part to make the world a better place.

This rationalization has already been debunked numerous times in this thread.

Yes, it does necessarily mean that. In this case, “this” is referring to hope, not the man who advocates for it, even when metaphorically calling this man a beacon. What does all Europe look to as a source of comfort in these dark days? Hope, not the beacon. Although your example does not...

I have found some of the most passionately held doctrines rely on ambiguous verses (while ignoring verses that are explicit). For instance, verses that explicitly say that God is not a man ought to take precedance over verses that could be taken to imply in an ambiguous way that God is a man...

If you don't mind, please go to the link I provided and formulate answers to the other 8 questions. Lets give Mary a shot at this one first. It will be fun to compare answers. WAS PETER THE TRUE ROCK? 1. If so, why didn't Jesus Christ say it more than once, or clarify it better? (Matt 18:16...

Feel free to post only in threads you find value. There is no point writting pointless posts in threads you find pointless. Perhaps you should petition the administrators to filter attempts to start threads for you to approve for having a sufficient degree of gravitas?

It most certainly is clear! And this goes back to your refusal to answer questions about the full context of Scripture. if Peter was the rock, why did the apostle Paul call Christ the ROCK (1 Corinthians 10:4), the only FOUNDATION (1 Corinthians 3: 11), and Peter himself called Christ the CHIEF...
