NJ Mayor Stands Against Homosexual, Transgender Curriculum in Schools as ‘an Affront to Almighty God’ NJ Mayor Stands Against Homosexual, Transgender Curriculum in Schools as ‘an Affront to Almighty God’ Why don't conservative Christians have a leader to organize a national rally to make our...

We will never know if pacifism works or is a valid defense since it has not been, and never will be tried on a national level. As subjects of a government, we are to be obedient to those who rule over us. If those in control over us, pacifist Christians, were all pacifist Christians enjoying...

I do not identify with J. Calvin due to his antisemitism revealed in this text: Anti-Semitism of the "Church Fathers" "Their [the Jews] rotten and unbending stiffneckedness deserves that they be oppressed unendingly and without measure or end and that they die in their misery without the pity...

The U.S. POWs Still Waiting For an Apology From Japan "Of the 27,000 Americans taken prisoner by the Japanese, a shocking 40 percent died in captivity, according to the U.S. Congressional Research Service. That compares with just one percent of American prisoners who died in German POW camps."

Hank, I see nothing in your post that gives reason to label you a racist or for you to come to that conclusion.

What is the "nature" of guns? I believe most of the gun violence is a result of actual or perceived threat to ones well-being. Such threats may or may not be in the near term but are most likely the result of slow, continuous degeneration of a comfortable, predictable lifestyle. In our...

You and I agree, salvation is instantaneous, happens the moment we believe and are sealed by the Holy Spirit. You left out the op, who claims "salvation is a process" which I was challenging. See following quote.

Eph 4:30 KJV - And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. At what point in the process of salvation does the Spirit of God seal the believer unto the day of redemption?
