Well, we do agree that deception is how evil advances. You do know that homosexuality is a sin according to the Bible, right?

Incorrectly worded. He is to blame but he does not take (accept) the blame. Orange man bad.

And so it goes. These people are so desperate, a humanitarian crisis? Where did they get the money for 5,000 rockets to fire into the Holy Land?

Equality does not exist in reality and is code for communism, which I oppose to the full. Couch it any way you want.

Israel should not be playing this time. I studied the causes of the Middle East conflict and came away from that study with 2 bottom line facts: A tenet of Islam is to never cede land once controlled. Their religion drives them to Jihad until ultimate victory is achieved. Islamists cannot...

Used to be sexual deviants just wanted to be left alone. Now they want to be subsidized. This is how evil advances. $4.1 B would fit pretty good in my pocket, from where it came.

It is not good. You cannot have equality AND segregation. See Supreme Court Decision Brown v Board of Education.

You keep getting stuck on words. It's NOT what they say but the devotional act that is the dead give away. I know there is Bible IDOLATRY because I experienced it for decades. This is how IDOLATRY shows itself; people use it as an obstacle to bring people to Christ. The 1st Bible IDOLATRY I...

Not prudent to not prepare.

That’s because we are part of a man hating society, the practical limits of equality are realized. Before the Cold War, civilians were the primary targets of warfare for all of human history. Caesar defeated his enemies by salting their farm land 2 seasons before engaging them. When he finally...

Great conversation! Thereby you open yourself up to the sin of IDOLATRY by making an exception. If you study the 2C, you will find no such exception. Do not make ... or bow down and worship idols. I am the Lord your God, and I demand all your love. Exodus 20:4-5 (CEV) Wow! We are working...

God too has emotional responses to IDOLATRY. :mask: This sentence surprised me. I'm not sure how you are connecting salvation with IDOLATRY. No, I don't think I did. There are so many threads on OSAS. Several years ago I was heavily involved in one. Now, I generally stay away from them...

Hmmm. Familiar with Venn diagrams? One might say the genus of all sin is pride, the exaltation of the self in one form or another. It's still IDOLATRY, because he asserts his driving philosophy of life is "it's all about the Benjamins."

I pasted the definition of idolatry in Post # 384.

Yes. What I don't believe is in people's reading comprehension, especially where the IDOLATRY of doctrine is concerned. "In the name of God" began many atrocities in history. "Thus saith the LORD" relieves the tyrant of moral pains for performing evil. My father never embraced Christianity...

Yes, Satan. God is a God or order. Satan is a god of chaos. The US is tyrannically lawless. While existing laws don't apply in practice at the Southern border, to Hunter or Hillary, when applied to Trump laws are being applied in ways NOT written. We are under the tyranny of the arbitrary.

Great thread topic! To answer your question, How did Paganism get into the church? It is the influence of culture, which is revealed by the question, does a fish know it is in water? Christianity spread into Pagan cultures and adopted existing holidays to assist in cultural assimilation. These...

I'm glad you did. Sure, I can explain IDOLATRY of the Bible in 2 other ways. :) Besides IDOLATRY of translations, the 2nd form of IDOLATRY of the Bible that became obvious to me is doctrine. In my study of Scripture, I discovered there is no Doctrinal Purity Test to be saved. I thank God...

No. IDOLATRY is something you worship and sacrifice to. What you are stating is just pragmatic considerations. Let me give you an example. I had a friend who IDOLIZED money. His mantra was that "It's all about the Benjamins." The thought of money polluted every decision and relationship. When I...
