We should sit them down and explain they will experience persecution for the rest of their lives. Family and friends will abandon them. They will be mocked and ridiculed. They could lose their jobs and homes. Their children might shun them. The world will hate them because they first hated...

I never said Jesus was not fully human. God Holy Spirit formed Him, fully human in Mary’s womb. That would have been understood in that time as conception, obviously. Mary became pregnant and bore a son. There was no need for God to create sp:rm and use Mary’s egg for the conception. If He...

These are all very well thought out posts. Wow!! The BB must still be in the Christmas spirit!!! Thanks for sharing all. Love the different perspectives. Peace to you

Not a foolish question. We don’t know all the details of the divine conception of Jesus in Mary’s womb. But Holy Spirit did not “father” a child. There is no “conception” in heaven. There is only creation. Mary’s egg was not fertilized by God DNA. That is Mormon heresy. Personally, I...

I wouldn’t know. I’ll trust your expertise concerning all things g:y. Peace to you

Just remember this. According to scripture, one day, being a Christian is going to be punishable by the death penalty. You just keep adding, setting a precedent, to just kill everyone that breaks the law. They are already arresting Christians in England for silently praying across the street...

My greatest concern is following the commands of my Lord Jesus Christ, not the world. Peace to you

I have no idea how you came to that conclusion. You are assuming things about me that simply are not true. When it comes to scripture, I’m one of the most conservative folks on this board. Wow!!! You are so off base in this. Jesus commanded us to show mercy toward others as God showed mercy...

Nonsense The fear of death never brought anyone to God. Only God Holy Spirit can bring people to God Outrageous cowpie You don’t know that. I have heard many stories of folks coming to salvation while in prison. Then you hate the teaching of the Apostle Paul. You seem to be a very angry...

I don’t follow the teachings of Adam Smith, thanks you. I follow scripture. The Apostle Paul states he was the worst of sinners. He persecuted Christians to the death. He was a murderer. He stated in 1 Timothy that God demonstrated mercy toward him as an example future Christians should...

35 years in prison gives 35 years for repentance and salvation. Death gives no more chance for repentance or salvation. All Christians should appreciate that argument Peace to you

Looks like Scarlett O beat me to it. Don’t be sorry you brought it up. It’s a good conversation that reveals many things about who we are and why we do the things we do Peace to you

The comment was made that Vance had said voters would not vote for a woman that did not have children. That is a sickening comment imo. The biblical prohibition against women having authority (or teaching) men applies to the church ONLY. I do understand there are many that would never vote...

Since you believe many are saved having never heard the gospel, I’ll ignore any comment you have about what the God of scripture will or will not do. Your gross misunderstand of God’s Word is obvious. You are embracing a man made philosophy of what is “fair” and attempting to hold God to your...

I appreciate you admitting to your ignorance of this subject. Truthful reflection is a good start toward a better understanding. Peace to you

It’s seems more than shaming. Claiming people won’t vote for woman that never had children is sickening. First, they don’t know who people will vote for. If the right woman came along, was charismatic and had great ideas, she would get the votes. Peace to you

But not without saying we worship different god than you do, insinuating we are not saved. Peace to you

Romans states very clearly that God raised pharaoh up for that very purpose. In fact, it states God endured with great patience vessels of wrath that were created for destruction to show the riches of His glory to vessels of mercy created to receive mercy. You are projecting a man centered...

You have made this accusation a few times now. Please explain where I changed the word “salvation” into “saved”? I have changed nothing, just repeated the plain reading of the text. You, in the hand, have proudly admitted to changing the words of scripture to fit your understanding. It...

To be clear, they have a point concerning the pagan influence. The early church was much more focused on Christ’s resurrection than His birth. When Constantine became the first Christian emperor (supposedly) about 325 or so, he had a big problem. Roman soldiers worshipped the “undying sun” or...
