Observe the "howevers", and logical fallacies ad populum. And the lack of straight answers. I can ask whether my Jeep has a starter, and the answer is, yes....

Yes, if you believe the scriptures then the object of faith is believed in trust and confidence in the object of our faith, that is, G-d. Faith to me is believing G-d by His Word when there is no reason "to believe". In other words, if it takes a convincing argument to substantiate your belief...

Then either way there is no action. The churches actions are limited here under national government. Most churches today happily abolish the Judicial system. Ancient Israel appealed to their rulers at times (Egypt, Babylon etc), and in the NT over the very matters concerning Jesus. The church...

Especially if within the church. Then pray for forgiveness for what was left undone. :rolleyes: And leave it undone. We are to appeal to the civil magistrates. That was a common theme throughout the Scriptures. Jesus conveyed to about the unjust ruler etc., which in his time too illustrated the...

I understand, and personally believe the worst atrocities are committed in the church because when the church sins, the sins are made in the name of G-d. I do believe our battle is spiritual, but because Paul used metaphorical military terms in the spiritual realm doesn't mean our battles are...

To believe that church history would be denied, early Reformers condemned the popes at the time as the anti-Christ. Were their rulers limited to within the body of Christ? What about the Emperor Nero? Another many believed and condemned to be the anti-Christ. Christians are warned throughout...

I can't stand the "hand on hip pacifist", their passive aggressiveness, and the pacifism that affects most of Christendom today. One of the difficult things about referring to the Old Testament as the "Old" is that the historic military nature and heritage of Israel is often "spiritualized"...

Crusades were a result of no separation of church and state among secular rulers. Obama's beliefs are no different than secularism and violate the minimum universal Noahide laws all humanity is under. Slavery and Jim Crow were both the result of political Democrats influencing churches w/...

I do not believe in Obama's Jesus nor follow him. Some suggest Obama in the video was compelling everybody to be more tolerant and to compromise. He succeeded during his Presidency and destroyed the nucleus of America, the family. Obama not only redefined America but also the family and...

Former president Barack Obama at a climate change summit on Dec. 5, 2017 in Chicago, Illinois.

Calvinism was the response to the Five Points of Arminianism. Like a lot of heterodoxies, heresies, apostacies etc., "the church" responds as the issues surface. For example, the Nicene Creed and various revisions resulted in the final form we have today. The Nicene Creed addressed the...
