    BBC Anchor: We Have ‘To Get Used To’ Terror Attacks [VIDEO]

    You can't eradicate it. It's a part of the human condition. It's like saying we need to destroy sin. Yes, we do need to destroy it and we must strive to, to minimise the risk. But it is both naive and hubristic to think we can destroy it this side of the eschaton.

    Terrorist attack in Manchester

    I didn't take any issue with your post; it was Andy's, which has now been deleted so it looks like I was objecting to your post, which I wasn't.

    What is the hold?

    We do not know what Jesus did or did not know when He walked this earth. Yes, He was fully God but He was also fully Man, with the limitations this imposed, having kenotically emptied Himself to share in our humanity (per Phil 2:6-11), and there were certain things He did not know eg: "no-one...

    Terrorist attack in Manchester

    Utterly irrelevant to the barbarity that was perpetrated.

    What is the hold?

    Different issue altogether. The first complete NT Canon as we know it today was in Athanasius' letter of 367. Earlier canons has been in circulation prior to the Edict of Milan but they were either incomplete or contained works we don't consider Scripture today eg: The Shepherd of Hermas

    What is the hold?

    Right, so Jesus in His lifetime would not have known all the Scriptures as they hadn't all been written by then. And how by the way do you know which writings are inspired Scripture....other the the table of contents of your Bible?

    What is the hold?

    Fact check: none of the NT had been written in Jesus's time. So your contention is demonstrably false.

    Jesus and Jenner

    A similar question could be posed re my own situation: I am a remarried divorcee with children only from my second marriage. Assuming as some Christians do that what I have done is sinful, how am I to "go and sin no more": does that mean, for example, putting away my second wife and declaring...

    Jesus and Jenner

    I wonder how Jenner is meant to "go and sin no more"; what I mean by that is "what would that look like in this scenario"?

    Terrorist attack in Manchester

    Thanks. I think what is particularly upsetting is that so many of the victims were children and teens; my own daughter is only a couple of years away from the age of some of the dead:Cry

    On the other hand, Tradition is Scriptural: it is, for example, mentioned by Paul, particularly to the church of the Thessalonians: "Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions you were taught whether by word or our epistle." (2 Thess 2:15) Notice that Paul doesn't elevate one mode...

    Not all the Scriptures existed then, so how could they?

    President Trump to James Comey: "You're fired!"

    The parallels are developing. This is a White House where it is one wor ruing scandal after another virtually daily. And, Keith, with all due respect, it is ad hominem to basically say that someone is ignorant because you don't agree with their observation (although worse has been dished out to...

    Your ad hominem does your cause no credit.

    President Trump to James Comey: "You're fired!"

    Oh dear, then you haven't been paying attention, have you: the implication of both the existence of the tapes and the threat come from the mouth - or twitter account - of The Orange One himself.
