Do we punish a mother who murders her child? There's your answer...

It seemed so simple to me. Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Obviously, this is a commandment, and...

Why, thank you, Oz.

Perhaps you didn't understand the New Covenant completely. Let's go over it again: Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in...

What sparked my own move away from the church was when the pastor decided that he would close the church because Christmas fell on a Sunday that year. Now, I was one of a group of ladies who had planned to put on a huge Christmas dinner and invite our poor and our homeless in this area to come...

It is hard to believe that there are Christians who don't seem to know where Israel is today. Here, I will give you a tiny hint: You do not bear the root...the root bears you...

And then, they lost their right to the Kingdom: Luk 20:9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. Luk 20:10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they...

Yeah, that's what I used to think, too. Problem is, I've actually talked to a few who have admitted exactly what I said in my post...they are preaching the party line, because it pays the mortgage and helps put the kids through school... Btw, I actually am one of the leaders of a small house...

I am 65 years old, Butch. Born in the era of 'Leave It To Beaver', 'Dennis the Menace', 'The Ed Sullivan Show' and, a bit later, 'Happy Days'. And, yes...the world really was like that. Teen aged girls were really virgins, and teen aged boys really respected that. About the worst thing a...

Part of the problem, imho, is that pastors are not free to preach what they believe...they are being paid to preach church doctrine. Thus, if that denomination believes (for instance) in "Paradise", as in the rich man and Lazarus, from the parable Jesus tells in Luke 19:16-31, then the paid...

You know that Trump is going to win, don't you? Might as well accept the inevitable...

My Bible says: 1Co 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect is...

It's amazing, the lengths to which people will go to avoid obedience to the Lord's commandments....

Unethical? River, it is not unethical to insist that the people you are paying should do what you are paying them to do. Lots and lots of people who pay other people to do a job do insist that the job that they are paying for be done according to their instruction. That is not new at all. ...

This has got to be the silliest thread I've ever seen on any of these forums.

So...the Titanic actually sailed off the edge, right? We were just told that it sank...
