    Giving a blessing

    I say we can give a blessing that is a sort of prayer for God to do the thing we "bless" others with, kind of like Jacob's blessings on his sons. But saying "Bless you" for sneezes may cheapen it a lot. (I'm looking at myself here, as I say it when someone sneezes.) I don't think of the evil...

    Biblical vs Secular Definitions of English Words

    Assuming we can figure out what "her" refers to. The apostate church? Jerusalem? Babylon (which fits my assertion of the importance of @JonC's topic).

    Biblical vs Secular Definitions of English Words

    Noah Webster was a Christian, and committed to helping people understand each other better through his dictionary. He was also a founder of our nation, who influenced other founders, like George Washington and James Madison on how to set up the government. As the church and its influences were...

    Biblical vs Secular Definitions of English Words

    You mean like the Black Lives Matter indoctrination that's being foisted on many corporations today? I agree it's a problem in the churches, for sure, and the liberal mindset is not a "long ago" problem. To tie the two together, "racism" is double-speak for "anything that doesn't agree with...

    Biblical vs Secular Definitions of English Words

    In addition, Christians of different stripes also can't understand each other very well, as the meanings of the words are different between different denominations. It's a sort of Christian "Babel".

    Biblical vs Secular Definitions of English Words

    It also is a way of taking Christians out of the world (1 Cor 5:9-10), where they can't understand us, and we can't understand them. I had an instance where I was talking to an attorney about someone trespassing on my property. I mentioned that I hoped the person was convicted of his bad...

    Philly Teacher: Parents With Access To Virtual Classrooms Would Do Damage To ‘Honest Conversations A

    In fact, the parents should know what's being taught in order to help the teacher teach their children. But this idea of what ought to be taught is the cause of grave disagreements, showing that we need a higher authority to determine what is good and bad and what needs to be taught to...

    Philly Teacher: Parents With Access To Virtual Classrooms Would Do Damage To ‘Honest Conversations A

    Better bone up on your spelling and grammar, McCree! Just kidding! I've homeschooled my three all the way through, and I can't imagine having to fight all the bad teaching and de-tox them all the time.

    Jesus VS today’s gospel of the kingdom

    I used to think so, too. But many of the sacrifices were times of rejoicing and sharing of meals. The sacrificial system was what was supposed to sustain the Levitic tribe. I don't necessarily recommend RJ Rushdoony for everything he said, but he gave a compelling reason for sacrifices, even...

    On Heresy

    By that definition, at least the first sentence (and I’m not saying it’s incorrect), Jesus’ teachings were heretical. And I’m sure it was clear enough to the religious leaders that it was wrong scripturally that they were willing to have Jesus crucified over it. Sent from my iPhone using...

    On Heresy

    It’s pretty strong here in Colorado. I visited a SBC church where the pastor included a warning for those that were joining the church and wanted to bring in Calvinism—saying “don’t do it”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Jesus VS today’s gospel of the kingdom

    Only if the sacrifices are done for the purpose of atonement and fulfilling the law. If they are done in worship, that’s ok isn’t it? Rom 12:1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual...

    On Heresy

    From Webster’s 1828 dictionary: A fundamental error in religion, or an error of opinion respecting some fundamental doctrine of religion. But in countries where there is an established church, an opinion is deemed heresy when it differs from that of the church. The Scriptures being the standard...

    Hodge Twins: George Floyd body cam footage should have been released sooner

    But you left out “premeditation” for some reason. So apparently even your understanding is not sufficient for a 1st degree conviction. My suspicion is that there could have been some premeditation. But I don’t have the evidence for it anymore than you do, as you shown. It was foolish to...
