    Pentecostal vs Charismatic

    One correction to the article … there are Catholic Charismatics (the article implied it was only a Protestant movement).

    Israel - Cross - Lebanon

    I would say the same thing of Netanyahu that I say of Trump and other Politicians ... Deeds, not words. [The new millennium has brought an age when words mean NOTHING.] So, I watch and wait.

    Israel - Cross - Lebanon

    News articles and words are unnecessary. It is exactly what it looks like.

    Ceasefire meeting canceled

    Not really a surprise. “Peace” was never in the air. The US wants an end to an Iranian Nuclear Weapon program more than anything else (Iran is refusing to budge on that point). Iran wants the blockade lifted so they can get the shipment of anti-aircraft missiles that China has promised them...

    Artemis III - With SpaceX Lander?

    Actually, it is your money …

    Artemis III - With SpaceX Lander?

    FYI: $4 billion in 9 years is just under $500 million per year for Human Space Exploration $500 million per year is about the same amount of money that the Government gives to Planned Parenthood. If we can afford Planned Parenthood, we can afford a Moon Base (cost is not the issue). The issue...

    Artemis III - With SpaceX Lander?

    NASA needs to shift back to a DARPA-like role of pushing frontiers to create a foothold for Commercial to build upon. The ISS should have been a NASA power Module in LEO that anyone could connect a module to and build a destination. Then it would still be growing with new Bigelow and Spacex...

    Artemis III - With SpaceX Lander?

    We have the lessons from the Apollo Program ... It only needs to last until China abandons its plans (plus 1 Presidential Election), then it can be abandoned (like Apollo and Skylab and the Shuttle and Ares V ... and the ISS imminently). It is the reason that we have so little real progress...

    Artemis III - With SpaceX Lander?

    I think it is less sinister and more petty. In the 1960's Russia launched a rocket into orbit and a man into orbit first, so the US was not going to be "beat" by Russia and set a goal of a "man on the moon by the end of the decade" to PROVE that we were better than the "bad guys". [Typical...

    Artemis III - With SpaceX Lander?

    We have successfully regained the Apollo 8 (1968) capability to fly around the moon without landing on it after only 54 years of progress in Manned Spaceflight following the end of the Apollo Program. [Just for the record, both the ISS and Artemis mission could have been achieved in the...

    How to evangelize who resist the gospel

    Hank is 70 years old with a Masters in Divinity from Moody. He long ago abandoned arguing with people. Now, whenever anyone wants to argue about "religion", Hank begins with "Let me tell you about my grandkids ..." 1) there is nothing threatening about talking about your grandchildren. 2)...

    President Trump speaks up about meddling pope

    Sure, what could possibly go wrong by taking pot shots at the religious leader of 1.4 billion people world wide and about 20% of the US population. :) (Not that the “Holy Father” hasn’t invited POLITICAL criticism.)

    Trump underestimated his enemy!

    US closes the Straight of Hormuz to all traffic. OPEN to all or CLOSED to all.

    Trump underestimated his enemy!

    I read an analysis of the EU that described it as “tired and old” … like an old man past his prime. Statistically, they have fallen below the replacement birth rate for quite a while now. In real and practical terms, that means a native population that is shrinking and older (on average) which...

    Trump underestimated his enemy!

    The problem is the new age of a grenade armed drone able to attack a civilian oil tanker and an inexpensive attack damaging a multi-million dollar ship … so just the fear of a drone attack prevents the civilian ships from attempting a crossing.

    Trump underestimated his enemy!

    The US announced at the start of the attacks on Iran that the US would not require any military assistance from other NATO countries; this would be an action handled by the US and Israel alone against an Iran that demonstrated both support for terrorism and now missiles capable of reaching...

    Trump underestimated his enemy!

    It is irrelevant who recognizes the “State of Palestine” when the Palestinians are the ones that have rejected the Palestinian State every time it has been offered since the 1940’s. Will Spain now recognize the next Hamas attack from Gaza as an Act of War and a Palestinian State War Crime...

    Trump underestimated his enemy!

    I just enjoyed an interesting Geopolitical analysis of the Iran war that concluded Iran had already lost the war (irrespective of the ultimate military outcome or the peace talks). The government of Iran had already fallen, it just did not know it yet (and it has nothing to do with US military...

    How many here hold to The doctrine of the perseverance of the saints

    I went back to the KJV and took a closer look at the wording in that translation. The concept of “Perseverance” of the Saints might be better worded as “Patient Endurance” of the Saints in KJV English. Here is a passage that I think expresses the concept most clearly: Luke 8:11-15 [KJV] 11...
