    A bridge too far...

    You should see the original healer image. It did not have a demon figure in it. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-post-himself-jesus-includes-114320431.html

    Trump posted an image portraying himself as Jesus Christ

    Certain men and women actually are sick, not just unsaved. Jesus addressed both issues and He still does. Sorry, there is no Biblical or historical evidence that the power to heal and cast out demons ceased at the closing of the canon. There is also no scriptural support for the idea that...

    Trump posted an image portraying himself as Jesus Christ

    The original healer image did not depict a demon figure above Trump. See both images here: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-post-himself-jesus-includes-114320431.html

    Trump posted an image portraying himself as Jesus Christ

    So Trump, probably coached in a panic by that horrid Paula White, claims the healer image is supposed to depict Trump as a doctor, because he has made many people well? But how many doctors have orbs of radiant light in their hands and dress in Jesus type robes? Doctors wear white lab coats...

    Trump posted an image portraying himself as Jesus Christ

    Trump has some, in my opinion, awful spiritual advisors, like Paula White. I think she has compared Trump to Jesus in an Easter service, comparing their sufferings and persecution, which many complained about. If this image was supposed to be Trump’s response to criticisms by the Pope, it is...

    “And all God’s people said” and other preacher quirks

    Why is it that out of all the lecturers on science, history, politics, art, etc., it’s only Christian pastors who lace their speeches with requests for agreement or approval? Every few paragraphs some preachers insert “and all God’s people said…” or “amen?” or “can I get an amen?” Sometimes a...

    What Does "Naked" Mean in Exodus 32:25?

    Your explanation makes sense.

    Should this girl have been fired?

    Thanks for responding to my question. I did not see any post calling you a liar, but that is really harsh!

    Should this girl have been fired?

    An "MRS degree" (pronounced M-R-S) is a slang term for a woman attending college primarily to find a husband, rather than to pursue a career. Popularized in the 1950s, it implies that getting married (becoming a "Mrs.") is the true goal of her education. It is generally considered a derogatory...

    Should this girl have been fired?

    She should not have been fired. But hopefully, she’s smarter now, and will avoid conversational traps. Like talking about anything related to sexuality. There is never any need to discuss such topics at work. Sharing all your opinions about everything accomplishes nothing, but fueling the gossip...

    Should this girl have been fired?

    I think the main thing that got her in trouble was not talking about the Christian college she attended, but her saying homosexuality is sinful. The workplace is not a good venue for discussing any kind of sexual topic, especially in our woke culture. She fell into a trap. I also personally do...

    Should this girl have been fired?

    It is tricky to discuss sexuality in a workplace, especially these days. It’s a trap. She should have changed the subject or said she did not feel comfortable discussing sins and homosexuality. If the inquiring person really wanted answers, a discussion in a place outside of work might have...

    Jesus' audience in John 14:12

    If I started healing the kids, I might be sued by St. Jude hospital. But I do not think it is wise to mock the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said those who believe on Him will do what He did and even greater. There is no getting around that promise by adding to it “if he is an apostle” or...

    Jesus' audience in John 14:12

    Mark 16 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Acts 3 6...

    God as 3 persons or 3 people?

    Some say “persons” is used to refer to the 3 entities of the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, because to say 3 people in one God would sound like they were separate. But to me, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are separate beings, though united with one divine nature or essence. The Father...

    Is selling study bibles, theology books, or commentaries "selling Jesus?" Is it wrong to "buy Jesus?"

    Simony guys call the money you give them seed, which you plant, then get a miracle.

    Jesus' audience in John 14:12

    Healed the sick! Cast out demons! Fed the hungry! Led many to salvation! Taught the Word!

    Jesus' audience in John 14:12

    Wrong. If Jesus meant to limit this promise to just His disciples present with Him, He would have said, “Verily, verily I say unto you, you who believe on Me, the works that I do…” Christians throughout history have done the works that Jesus did, so that proves you are in error, too.

    God as 3 persons or 3 people?

    Yes, it is very tricky. Whether we say 3 persons in one God or 3 people in one God, we still have the problem of disavowing 3 gods.
