The modern Protestant services are attempting to be relevant to the younger crowd, but the music always ends up sounding like a dirge. Do you have any links? Sounds like these people are taking their queue from the Westboro Baptists. There's a fine line, and it isn't always easy to tell which...

Suicides increase after transitioning, but what's really bewildering is the duplicitous narrative that emerges between the homosexual who is "born that way" and the transgendered who refuses to accept themselves for who they are. The freak show list of people who have become grotesquely...

Going woke does seem a bit premature. However, most of the younger generations are already woke, and when they're older, they're going to probably drink themselves to death, especially if they've been conned into getting chemically castrated.

Christ's message was aimed at the children of Israel alone. He called them to repentance. Paul, on other hand, was called to proclaim the gospel to gentiles which would presumably include Buddhists, no? Paul himself even refers to pagan poets, and gods in his teaching. So I don't see the...

Jesus wasn't into "traditions of men" and FALSE doctrines. The Jesus in scripture came to "magnify the law", and openly points out that unless one's observance of the law SURPASSES that of the legalists of his day (i.e. the scribes and Pharisees), no one will enter into heaven. Paul affirms...

What do you think of Ayn Rand's methodology, and in what ways do you find it so helpful?

Of course it does. Your "effort" denotes a works-based salvation. Most definitely! There are two reasons why this must be the case: 1) It is God's will to forgive those who sin unknowingly or unintentionally. We know it is God's will because this is the will of God as revealed to Moses and...

Agreed. You're presenting a false assumption. You're assuming that what Paul has written allows for the annulment of the dietary laws, but there is nothing in that citation that negates the dietary laws. In fact, he's upholding them. The "They" isn't referring to Judaism or those who uphold...

It's referred to as "schadenfreude", and it's only funny to people who are mentally ill. You've just claimed it for all of Catholicism.

It's intriguing to see how many people believe this actually means that they can continue to sin with impunity. This is what passes for the good news these days. It's pathetic. This is a fundamental feature of the Mosaic law. If one knows what they're doing is sinful, and does it anyways, the...

The bible prophetically points out that there will be this distinction between Jews and the Gentile world. History has validated this prophecy, but Paul points out that thinking like a Gentile is futile so how does a Gentile defend their way of thinking? Here's what Paul says, "walk not as...

What are you referring to. Do you have a biblical reference? You're conflating "origin" with "beginning". The Father and Son have no beginning, but the Father is the origin of the Son. As the Son points out, "I came from the father". John 16:28 The introduction to John's gospel points out...

I must admit, this is a compelling claim, but I don't see it in the text itself. In other words, Jesus is proclaiming the gospel of "the kingdom", not the good news of the church. The kingdom and the church are not synonymous, at least not in the gospel narratives.

Russia is setting up a system to do business outside of the petrodollar which is going to implode and ultimately be destroyed. They and their trading partners are already on the offense. There are using financial, economic and trading systems which are quite effective ways to destroy the US...

Yes, you are. I'm adding nothing. I'll let Jesus refute your claims himself: " "for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth... Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.23 The life is more than meat, and...

There seems to be quite a bit of evidence that there were two on either side of Christ. In fact, skeptics use the texts themselves to claim that there is a discrepancy or contradiction when they point out that one of the synoptics claims that there were two who were crucified with him, while...

The gospel writer has Jesus explicitly provide the point which is that no one can follow him unless they sell everything and give the proceeds to the poor. Again, this isn't a means of salvation, but the consequence of being found or having God reveal the kingdom. When one finds the treasure...

If the other parables which are found along with this one are any indication, it pictures Christ looking for his sheep. These parables when seen together reveal the chronology of events in God's plan of salvation. Jesus then points out that one cannot follow him unless they sell everything and...

The biblical reference is not only not vague, but identical to what is being seen on the mainstream media. e.g. "When the eye is single, the body is light." i.e. 'illuminated'

Because they are a new creation created to fulfill ALL righteousness. There is no sin in Christ, therefore anyone who is in Christ is a new creation and cannot sin. Those who think otherwise don't know their bible and are deceived.
