Noted Pastor and author Tim Keller passed away today after a battle with pancreatic cancer. I've read several of his books/Bible Studies and listed to a few of his sermons. He has been accused of "going woke" in the past couple of years but just about any Christian leader who acknowledges...

I don't know how many Democrats are on this board but I thought I would give equal time. If you plan on voting in the Democratic Primaries which Candidate would you support?

Just curious, for those of you who will vote republican.

To see which camp the people on this forum fall into and to stimulate conversation. I'm not trying to change anyone's mind about the topic. I just think this is a topic that is interesting. Different people have different definitions, largely based on which tradition they find themselves...

That's why I asked the question. Original sin means different things to different people. I think we all think "the fall of Adam" that brought sin into the world. However, we differ on the consequence of that original sin. Some, maybe even most (if you include Catholics), will hold the...

Is everyone made guilty by Adams original sin?

Care to elaborate?

What does original sin mean to you?

People can be deceived, people can say one thing and do another, people can just outright lie. That doesn't mean everyone is deceived or hypocrites or liars. All we can truly use to evaluate the sincerity of someones profession of faith is what they say and what they do. Even then there may...

That is true of people who call themselves Christian in both Catholic and Non-Catholic traditions. Calling oneself a Christian doesn't mean you are one.

Salvation by faith alone, through grace alone, by Christ alone, to the Glory of God alone... is a topic for another thread. I do affirm the truth that we are saved (past, present, and future) by the work of Christ alone and appropriate or receive that salvation by faith alone because of grace...

As I said, it is a theological argument that, for the majority of Christianity, has little bearing on how we practically live out the gospel. I've known several 5 point Calvinist who were very Evangelical. They shared the gospel and called people to repentance and faith every bit as much as...

I've stayed out of this fray because to me it is a theological argument not a practical argument. Here is my take. God saves all who have a saving faith in Christ because of the sufficient sacrifice on the cross and the overcoming of death through the resurrection. All whom God saves are...

I don't think there is any doubt he will try to be a political martyr and gain sympathy from his followers and rally support around him. I don't know if it will work.

Stimulus checks only make inflation worse. The classic economic reason for inflation is "to many dollars chasing to few good". In other words, inflation is caused by either people having excess money to spend which increases demand for goods and services or production of goods and services...

Do I think Trump broke the law? Probably. Do I think if this was anyone other than Trump they would be prosecuted? No

We have two services. The first at 9:00am and the second at 11:00am. We are back up to our pre-covid numbers of over 500 adults and children attending church every Sunday. What is interesting is that probably 30-40% of the people are new in the last year or so. Which means we lost a large...

Like it or not, we are not all the same, we all learn at different speeds and have different levels of intelligence. Some are gifted, most are average, and some are below average. Each group needs to be taught in a way that helps the students to thrive. Articles like the one posted are...

This was a political maneuver. If Nikki Haley were to somehow win the Presidency there is a .0001 chance she would ever push for mental competency test for politicians. She was trying cause a splash and get people talking about her and how old Trump and Biden are. It is all part of the blood...

I really like Nikki Haley and think she would make a good president. She is smart, well spoken, and has a decent record in Politics. The fact that she is a minority female would make it more difficult to label her as a sexist or racist (but they would try) in a general election match up...
