Live-streaming an execution of an Islamic terrorist will likely backfire. Muslims will consider the murderer as a martyr and some jihadists may be inspired to imitate him. I doubt it will frighten other terrorists. They may even hope they get a televised public execution, to boost their fame...

Being drawn by God does not mean God forces a person to make a decision. I may be drawn by the smell of steaks cooking, but it will be my decision to enter the restaurant and order one. The steak aroma draws me but does not make my decision for me.

Your example of gender roles refers to pagan worship!

I do not think Kai sees women as less than men when it comes to the gospel message. The Word of God sees women as different from men when it comes to pastoring and preaching to the congregation of an assembled church. For men to be the only gender qualified to be pastors does not mean women...

Have you seen videos or been in a church with a woman as pastor or preacher? I have and it was uncomfortable. My subjective feeling was that something was wrong.

For the serpent or devil to have sinned by tempting Eve, it must have fallen into sin previously. It is error to imply that prior to tempting Eve, the serpent was not fallen, was innocent and sinless. This “three character, in-concert fall” is incorrect. Three characters did sin, but one, the...

You have posted about Democrats a few times. But the vast majority of your posts are about KJV Onlyism topics. Even when proclaiming that you do post about other topics, your defense includes hammering away at the same old topic again.

It is sad. He needs loving brothers in Christ to counsel him to think about other topics.

See? There you go again. Even when you try to claim that you do not post about just one topic, that one topic immediately comes up again. Combat against KJV Onlyism. You appear to be unable to control your obsession. You do not speak the truth. I looked at your postings on this forum. Every...

Why would a person post only about one topic? Over and over again, quote stacking and relentlessly fighting against one particular idea? Does this individual ever think about anything else? Do they care about such Christian practices and spiritual topics as preparing for eternity, how to be...

You told me exactly what I needed to hear, brother. Thank you and God bless you mightily!

I made a list of all the things I loved about my wife and gave it to her. When dating, I made a sweetheart survey, listing about 40 questions like favorite sandwich, snack, movie, tv show, color, sport, outdoor activity, season, game, childhood memory, book of the Bible, way to relax, etc. We...

Where does the Bible say a divorced man cannot be an elder? What if you divorced your wife due to her committing adultery, then you married another Christian woman? Still cannot be an elder?

You’re correct. Each Christian marriage is unique, with many little nuances that cannot be described in words. Andrea had a personal atmosphere that I had never experienced before or since. Speaking of her in the past tense still seems bizarre and unreal. She was my best friend and eventually my...

I understand your thinking on this topic, but for me, heaven would not be heavenly if my wife and I became disunited, unrelated, unmarried. I find a tiny glimmer of hope in the fact that while the Bible states that no one gets married in heaven, it does not specifically say that the one flesh...

One of the greatest tragedies in modern American Christianity is how easily we church people tolerate ecclesiastical worldliness, mammonism, materialism, hedonism, sexual abominations, and socialism … while the world around us thinks being a Christian does not include separation from the self...

I keep wondering if God can somehow use these bizarre, mammonist, materialist, allegedly “Christian leaders” to get some of His truths to Trump.

No Bible scholar or theological commentary agrees with the idea that Satan’s fall happened in the garden of Eden. Genesis 3 says nothing about Lucifer’s fall. He fell from heaven. His fall did not occur in the garden of Eden. Luke 10:18: Jesus notes, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from...

It contradicts the entire nature of God to suggest that He created the universe in a disorganized state. Pagan religious mythologies often claim that chaos was primordial, the original condition of the universe, Historic Christianity has always held that satan’s fall, and first sinful act, was...

“Free from its initial disorder”? Did God create the universe as a huge mess that needed to be organized? I Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” Genesis 1:2 “And the earth was (became) without form…” Hayah, the Hebrew...
