I often start looking at a topic by doing a word study to see how the same Greek word is used elsewhere in the NT. Matthew 16:28 Blue Letter Bible Without doubt, believers have already become members of God's kingdom Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and...

I would only refuse to eat if I thought it would affect another person ... for example, if someone felt that eating at a halal restaurant meant I thought the Allah of Islam was the same as the God of Christianity. It's a similar situation to attending a same sex wedding ... my attendance could...

I enjoyed reading your summary of this parable. My understanding of group 3 is a little different to yours ... I believe these people are Christians who do not bare any fruit. I equate them with those whose works are burned in 1 Corinthian 3:13-15 1 Corinthians 3:13 Every man's work shall be...

Perhaps I am misunderstanding your point, but even as we see a fading of Scriptural understanding from the time of the apostles, haven't we also seen a restoration in understanding of God's Word beginning with the Reformation?

Some results I saw recently done by Pew Research Center, showed the decline has leveled off ... I wonder if this can be due to an increased interest in Christianity among younger generations while older generations continue to walk away from the Church.

I fully agree with your assessment that we are in a spiritual battle. Rather than the revelation of Jesus Christ in Scripture being the rock the Church is built on, many churches now perceive "social justice" as the rock the Church should be built on. The infiltration of "social justice" in...

I believe you are on the right side. With reference to the quoted verse, it sounds like what happened at Hiroshima ... or would you say it is a soverreign act of God?

When God created the universe He did it according to physical laws. He also instituted moral & spiritual laws. Justice requires that when laws are broken, there is a penalty ... otherwise they are not laws. In His love for humanity, God took the penalty for sin upon Himself on the cross.

At the individual level, I agree with you. However, at the activist level, there is a need for strong pushback ... which I am glad to see happening in some schools and sporting associations. Some states in the US, and here in Australia, have enacted strict regulations limiting what counselors...

I find it helps me when I focus on a Biblical affirmation during times of confusion or distress. Affirmations such as: - His mercy endures for ever (Psalm 118) - He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12 - Give all your worries and cares to God, for...

According to Wikipedia, corporal punishment is still legal in private schools in every U.S. state except for five ...and allowed in public schools in 17 states. As a school teacher over 50 years ago, the cane was still used although it is now banned in all Australian schools except for private...

The result of your poll is very interesting with 2/3 in favour of corporal punishment. "OK under certain circumstances" seems like the most commonsense approach to me too ... and more aligned with Biblical principles. Those who are opposed are more likely to put their trust in psychological...

About 20 per cent of Canadian Generation Z and Millennial parents spank their children according to a recently published University of Manitoba study (reported in UModay, June 12, 2026)...

How does God chasten us? Hebrews 12:6-11 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he...

antisemitism is the satanic instrument that will being about the "battle of Armageddon" Try looking up "antisemitism"

antisemitism is global because it is satanic

I hate how genuine cases like yours are undermined by the fraud & waste that goes largely unchecked. Whenever an attempt is made to reign in fraud & waste, the Left cast it as cutting aid to those in need.

'Christian' antisemitism is the worst form of antisemitism ... they turn themselves inside out trying to disguise hatred as love

This is someone worth listening to - John Spencer, a retired U.S. Army Major and leading expert on urban warfare, known for his frontline experience, strategic insights, and influential writing on modern combat in cities.

I don't get shocked easily these days - but I am shocked - and disgusted - right now!!! :mad:
