    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    That’s good discernment. This isn’t the story of a Christian. This is the story of an unbeliever. Unbelievers are enemies of God. In the eyes of God the unbeliever is a bad man, not a good man. The unbeliever is on the path that leads to destruction in the lake of fire. God wants the...

    Ben Wade. You’ve seen his story. I’ve seen his story. Christian or not a Christian?

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    No. I’m appealing to your conscience. That would be pointless if I thought you lacked a conscience. P.S. I’m reminded of this quote, “If our theology does not quicken our conscience and soften the heart, it actually hardens both. - J.I. Packer I attended at least one conference with Dr...

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    ”Truman stood by his decision for the rest of his life, yet was deeply troubled by the loss of civilian life in the bombings. This response is, on the one hand, understandable, yet also curious: had not the ‘conventional’ firebombing of Tokyo killed more than the two atomic bombs combined? … …...
