    The American Birth Right And the Baby Boomers and Later Generations

    The Bible Never Says ‘All Men are Created Equal’ "The Bible Never Says ‘All Men are Created Equal’" "How the New Testament offers a better, higher calling than the Declaration of Independence." Show me where God endowed all of mankind with anything. Why would Christian men endorse freedom of...

    Has California Told Christians, including John MacArthur, to Sin

    Thanks Steve. The first document is the same one that John shared (my response post #40). I need to verify with GCC that these are the recommendations/requirements they need to meet. If so, John MacArthur, in the video, appears to be embellishing the document.

    Has California Told Christians, including John MacArthur, to Sin

    I am not taking John MacArthur at face value. I need to see the stringent requirements, in writing, he claims he is required to meet. Unfortunately, his church website does not give a email address. I plan to call the church next week seeking the documentation I want. If that is unfruitful...

    Has California Told Christians, including John MacArthur, to Sin

    Thanks John. I am not certain that the requirements set forth in this document apply to John MacArthur's church. The following excerpts are not as restrictive as Pastor MacArthur stated in the video. These quotes were found after a cursory scanning of the document. However, they serve my...

    Has California Told Christians, including John MacArthur, to Sin

    I believe the demands by the CA government for churches to meet differ between geographic locations. Based on that understanding, I have been searching for the list, from a state of California source, Pastor MacArthur cited. So far, to no avail. If anyone can supply a resource for that...

    Has California Told Christians, including John MacArthur, to Sin

    1) A church SHOULD NOT be a business. 2) A building is not THE church.

    "...we could be a village, again, a tribe, again..."

    History has proven that "whites" can integrate and assimilate with different cultures, and often after a passage of time, dominate. My observation, having numerous black neighbors, while they integrate, they do not assimilate. I cannot name a place where they live in peace as the controlling...

    "...we could be a village, again, a tribe, again..."

    If they succeed, it might result in most, if not all, blacks following suite. The result would all non-black citizens would, by default, have their own "compound", "commune" or whatever. Then, the blacks could live in peace, not fearing being killed while innocent by racist non-black folk...

    Based on Squire Robertsson's post, I stand corrected.

    "...we could be a village, again, a tribe, again..."

    I call success the accomplishment of their primary goal, an all black community that is safe. I consider it an experiment in governance because it has never been attempted within the confines of this country. Governance - Wikipedia Governance comprises all of the processes of governing –...

    A Biblical Defense of Arminianism #1

    While scripture clearly says that God is not pleased with the death of anyone, none the less, that is the ultimate condition of all sinners. Since we were/are all conceived in sin, we were/are dead. Those of us who have been redeemed by the blood of Christ are born again and have spiritual and...

    LA shuts down John MacArthur church indoor services

    I know of a small independent church pastor who was abusing the non-prophet status of his church. He compromised with the IRS. There are federal laws that apply to churches.

    About Liberty University

    As a parent, I would encourage my child to attend a conservative leaning Christian college/university because the indoctrination would likely be more in keeping with my convictions.

    John MacArthur - Christ, Not Caesar, is head of the church

    Yes. Whatever they are liable for. Same with all so-called non-profits. No such thing as a non-profit in practical terms. How can a non-profit pay their top execs. such exorbitant salaries and bonuses as many do. A few examples from the secular world: 10 Insanely Overpaid Public College...

    John MacArthur - Christ, Not Caesar, is head of the church

    How many churches do you know that are not required to provide parking in the building plans? Providing parking is a requirement of every building/expansion program I am aware of.

    John MacArthur - Christ, Not Caesar, is head of the church

    I believe churches should pay their own property taxes. Why should I pay for the RCC, JW, Mormon, Islamic, etc. properties? If they paid their fare share, household and business property taxes would (should) go down allowing church members to cover the taxes for their "campus".
