    The Furnace of Affliction

    Explain how my statements are in error: QUOTE Jesus healed, restored sight to the blind, cleansed lepers, cast out demons, and raised the dead. If these afflictions were put upon people by God, then Jesus would be acting in opposition to God. Apostle Paul’s persecution, which he called a...

    The Furnace of Affliction

    I would say that afflictions are allowed by God, but not necessarily put on us by God. Jesus healed, restored sight to the blind, cleansed lepers, cast out demons, and raised the dead. If these afflictions were put upon people by God, then Jesus would be acting in opposition to God. Apostle...

    Trump underestimated his enemy!

    I must admit this Iran War is confusing. I think Iran might have been close to having nuclear weapons, so something had to be done. But I am not a big fan of warfare. US and Israel are attacking Iran, Iran is attacking Israel and other nearby nations, plus controlling the Strait of Hormuz. I...

    Faith Night on American Idol

    https://www.christianpost.com/news/american-idol-faith-night-sparks-worship-holy-spirit-moving.html It is ironic that this program is called American Idol. Even in the midst of idolatry, the true light can shine forth. One thing that concerns me is that a child preacher was included in the...

    Finding the right definition of a word in the Greek

    I have never encountered any true manifestations of speaking in tongues. All I hear is silly gibberish. Most of it sounds like a limited imitation Aramaic or just mouth noise and nonsense syllables. All Pentecostal tongues talking sounds pretty much the same.

    I am KJVO

    When King James Version Onlyism is championed by a person who acts holier than thou and slings personal attacks, wild accusations, and hostile insults at those who have a different view, it does not make the King James Version look very good. In this way, KJV Onlyism destroys itself and ruins...

    Victory for conversion therapy and free speech

    Yes, this is an unexpected victory for sanity and purity. I pray daily for righteousness to prevail. Here is an answer to my prayers.

    Victory for conversion therapy and free speech

    In a blow to the fanatic LGBTQ agenda, the Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Colorado's ban on conversion therapy aimed at youths struggling with their sexual orientation or their gender identity violates the free speech rights of a conservative Christian therapist. The 8-1 decision in favor...

    Your favorite aspect of Jesus, aside from dying for your sins?

    Amen. My favorite aspects of Jesus, aside from His dying for my sins? 1. His sweet, protective, calming companionship 2. His healing powers 3. His spiritual discourse and superior intelligence, especially as recorded in the gospel of John 4. His kindness to the outcasts and marginalized 5. His...

    Dominion vs determinism

    While I am not a Calvinist, I wonder why I responded positively to the gospel when a pastor explained it to me at a Mennonite church camp when I was a teenager. My parents were not church goers and my dad was an atheist. They sent me and my brothers to Sunday school at a Methodist church...

    Finding the right definition of a word in the Greek

    In addition to looking into the Greek words used, try applying in your life the insights you already have from your notes. QUOTE Notes on 1 Corinthians 1:1-4 1:1 The letter is from Paul and Sosthenes. God chose Paul to be an ambassador of the gospel, one belonging to Jesus Christ. 1:2 The...

    Gender-neutral Versions

    Actually, for males pretending to be females, the eunuch is an appropriate analogy. A eunuch is castrated. A male transitioning to fake female is also castrated. Similar to how females trying to become male. Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) involving the non-medical removal or injury of...

    Gender-neutral Versions

    I must say, that is a pretty good response to the transgender agenda, at least when it comes to males pretending to be females, and having their reproductive system surgically or chemically destroyed. Well done,sir!

    The Church as Noah's Ark

    It is horrible when secretive predators and evil influencers hide and lurk in a church, escaping detection. They can be extremely good at fitting in and playing the game of church. Members of a congregation cannot be perfectly pure, but pastors and elders must exercise sharp discernment to spot...

    The Church as Noah's Ark

    Hippolytus of Rome was one of the most important Christian thinkers of the second and third centuries, though his provenance, identity, and corpus remain elusive to scholars and historians. One older theory claims he came into conflict with the popes of his time and seems to have headed a...
