When Jesus returns!!! Peace to you

Who decides what if the given reason is “good”? Peace to you

Wow! I didn’t even know we owned the Persian gulf Peace to you

What is the reason for the wife to take the husband’s last name? To proclaim to all she is now a wife? No longer available to court? Then how about the husband also take the wife’s name (hyphenated) so all the women know he’s no longer available? To give their children the father’s name as an...

What in the world is going on here!!! We agree!!! For the record, i was against “W” Bush’s “faith based initiatives” as a very bad idea putting tax payer money (and the government oversight that came with it) into private, faith based programs. Peace to you

Well, I kind of have a problem with the lottery winner announcing how much they are giving to the church. They have the reward they desire, I think. I remember many years ago a man in the South (can’t remember where or any details about him), winning a big lottery and giving a press conference...

This is interesting. In the grand sceme, 10 billion isn't a lot compared to total government spending. But, as was mentioned, the slippery slope argument is valid. The Federal government already has deep influence on all companies via regulations, but to have an ownership stake in a private...

Is that happening somewhere in the country? The Post Office? What’s the connection t Donald Trump? Peace to you

“Abraham’s Bosom” is a Jewish idiom for heaven. It is not a separate place, prior yo going to heaven. Peace to you

Well stated. I will add the phrase “made perfect” likely means “made complete”, in context. The OT saints looked forward to the coming Messiah, saved by faith in God’s promise of His coming. New Testament believers have already received that promise, as Christ has come. Therefore, we are all...

You may be over thinking this a bit. The blessings from God that come from obedience to His commands are real and are always special. The most obvious is a closer relationship to our Lord that results from obedience. We can please God and we can grieve God. It has nothing to do with...

Deacons (literally servants) have ministries within the church and in the community. They can be male or female. As mentioned above, the passage in 1 Timothy says “women”, not wives in context, and Paul clearly identifies Phoebe as a deacon. Notice the language is different with the elder...

Well, looks like we will fail, once again, to get everybody to agree on whether Christians should support the death penalty, or not. I guess we simply have to tolerate each other until next time :) Thanks for the comments, all. Peace to you

You are not understanding the passage in context Peace to you

AS AN EXAMPLE for future Christians to follow. Surely you can see what the passage clearly teaches. We are commanded by God to show mercy toward the worst of sinners, even murderers like Paul (by his own mouth he says he persecuted Christians to the death. He knew he was a murderer). We are...

Yes, the government has the authority to administer the death penalty and Christians are commanded to show mercy. You need to read 1 Timothy 1. I can reconcile my beliefs with both passages. You cannot. Peace to you

God showed mercy to Paul as AN EXAMPLE for future Christians to follow. That must be addressed if one supports the death penalty, otherwise they are defying the commandment of God. Peace to you

I miss “The Far Side”. So funny!! Peace to you

Nice

As I stated, Jesus could have demanded they both be stoned to death, correct? No, He changed the conditions for initiating the death penalty. He could have exposed the hypocrisy by demanding the man stoned as well. I think you miss the point of the passage. Jesus is saying mankind are unable...
