    No Church Will Accept Me

    UPDATE: Still not in with a congregation. Tried one a few times, but this time I left on my own. The preacher/staff kept trying to get me to give money to "further their cause". Social isolation is hard. No personal interaction has been quite depressing. This is a good forum, but it has its...

    state of the world..

    The bible states that as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be before Christ's 2ND coming. This is where we are headed, so I would say overall things are getting worse in terms of sin being normalized.

    Dear Church, Here’s Why People Are REALLY Leaving You

    Some of you may have read my thread about no church accepting me. This is still true. Christ is the head of the church, IMHO. Man has perverted it into a non-profit business-like institution with faculty and staff that financially profit from it's "members", and give a portion to charity-related...

    Pastors/Ministers Being Prepared

    Some people (like myself) choose to preserve their privacy and would rather not use Facebook or social media (I don't) nor give out an email address. A phone call will suffice.

    What's the Weather Like in your part of the world Right Now?

    HOT! Forecast is mid to upper 90s F all week. Could top 100F by week's end. Brutal weather to work in, but have no choice.

    A Sign of the Times? or something else?

    I think brick-and-mortar stores will always be around because too many people like to shop. Yes, there has been an explosion of online commerce over the last 15 years or so, but retailers are still in business with most building new locations routinely. in the case of shopping malls closing...

    The hypergrace controversy: Heresy, maturity, or somewhere in between?

    Clearly we disagree. It seems illogical for Christ to tell parables in order to be unclear. To do so is to cause confusion, and God is not the author of it. Contrarily, the parables were given as such to serve as an easy way to understand a given point. Point 3 we disagree with completely, and I...

    Those who really love Jesus prove it -- unto eternal life

    Zachary, I am so glad you posted this, as it is where I stand. Many I have come across have abused God's grace for their own ways of doing things. “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow...

    The hypergrace controversy: Heresy, maturity, or somewhere in between?

    I have spent much time contemplating the true extent of grace and how God intends for it to be administered. That being said, I have come to the following conclusions (here we go)....... 1.) "God will not be mocked". I can't even start to scratch the surface of how many people use grace as a...

    This would fit the description of a mother going through a miscarriage who must not lose hope.

    Windows 10?

    Thanks, Stan. According to Microsoft, extended support for Win7 is through the year 2020. I have till this summer before Microsoft stops offering Win10 for free, and think it wise to wait a bit longer till they work out a few more bugs. My PC also uses Ubuntu, but that's another story completely.

    Windows 10?

    Haven't upgraded yet. My current PC uses Win7, my last one used XP. My wife's PC uses Win8.1. I can't stand Win8.1, but she likes it. My understanding is that the Win10 GUI is a blend of Win7 and Win8.1. I have also read that Win10 has some negative stability issues. I think I am going to stay...

    No Church Will Accept Me

    Thanks. My views on eschatology are basically that we all will be here until Christ's second coming. Additionally, I find the words of Jesus in The Four Gospels and the Book of Acts to be more descriptive of what to watch for, compared to the Book of Revelation. I'm not saying that Revelation is...

    No, I don't practice being devisive. That is sin.

    No Church Will Accept Me

    I'd first like to say that I respect your point of view. As far as being asked to leave, it has been performed in a variety of ways from confrontational to passive-aggressive. Normally it goes something like this.... I start attending somewhere. Everyone is sweet as pie for the first month or...
