    Australia: PM sets election date

    Not all believers think the same way with blind acceptance. What do you think of this? https://news.yahoo.com/us-evangelical-magazine-calls-removal-grossly-immoral-trump-232802945.html?ncid=facebook_yahoonewsf_akfmevaatca

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    I did not check whether Josiah is Catholic or not. I am sorry I didn't. I was once Catholic, when I was a young boy. That is the position Catholics take. And Abraham did have faith because Yahweh gives people faith. This didn't mean that Abraham was not responding to God, and it was not because...

    Veganism

    Hi, I am a believer who is vegan too. It is right, with godliness, with the reasons for it, and no good reasons not to be fully plant-based. Generally Christians are too resistant and think they know all they need for it from Bible passages or what they hear from church. But they are wrong to...

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    Most cosmological models show that? If the uncertainty of a process of proton decay, or contraction of the universe after the expansion, is assumed, there would be collapse of the physical universe, that no physical beings would survive. But a process of proton decay is not really known, and the...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    It is not dangerous, it does not exclude what I learn others say. Your Catholic position has you believe that others of authority are needed to teach what is said for you in the Bible, rather than you looking. But so do Jehovah's Witnesses believe that about those they see in authority. There is...

    Art Tips Blog

    I am not so young either. But with some occasion I found calling for pursuing the use of my creativity, I discipline myself from using time for just passively enjoying my time to routinely work at the expression of the creativity, more than I ever had when younger, though I find how I can make...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    Of course, though, I have not thought that any of my thoughts about meaning of revelation from Yahweh God is ever only the first of any thinking them. I mean I don't base much of my understanding on what others have said before, but I have and continue to base them on what I read for myself...

    That is a really good tip to switch the medium when you are not satisfied with your work as it is, thanks. I think pet portraits are great to work on. I hear some say animals do not have souls. If you can see the soul the animal has I believe it will really help the potrait come out well...

    Children afraid the end of the world will come

    There is this destructiveness to this earth, with anthropogenic climate change included, not even scriptures are against that. On the contrary, God did not promise to protect human civilization, and keep consequences from the destructiveness from happening. See Revelation 11:18. God hates the...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    No, I have nothing from radical Calvinist belief. My belief that true believers who are in Christ are saved, and always saved, is not from them, or from Baptists. I have seen this from the Bible, there is enough for that showing from it. There is too much, that if it is all shown, it will numb...

    What are you eating? - Part 2

    A burrito I made myself, with whole wheat tortilla, refried beans, salsa, and cabbage. It is a big day today with an outing and I will be eating a lot more.

    Why are some Christians so consumed with their denomination?

    Some who are so tied to their church, as they grew up in it and have many strong connections in it, have that as all they know of Christianity. If they are kind of lazy about reading the Bible and learning from it, all they would learn of being Christian is from life in that church and their...

    Why are some Christians so consumed with their denomination?

    I see that there are different degrees of connection individual Christians have to the church they attend. In many of those they are tight congregations and those who grew up in those, and got married there, do not really know other churches, and would find great difficulty in ever breaking from...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    It does not say that, indeed. It does not say "the living just give themselves faith in Christ" either. It is only your interpretation that has that modification. It does not give any word or any indication of any thing to modify "believe in the Lord Jesus Christ", that is the basis, with no...

    The false premise of Universalism

    Belief in purgatory does not have biblical basis. What is believed about purgatory by many is not really distinct from such belief that hell that people go to will have them made ready to go to heaven in any amount of time there. But Jesus Christ said that the way to life is narrow and the way...

    Bullying - A Necessary Evil? Part of natural selection?

    There are no ethical rules children have that they stick to. It should not be left to them instead of there being responsible adult supervision.

    Ask George!

    George, you do know Greek? What is Sabbaths meaning in Colossians 2:16, is it the various ceremonial days of the year designated as sabbath? Can you tell us?

    The false doctrines of the Preterist and Futurist interpretation

    What matters is a believer's direct reading of prophetic texts. That still won't have them understanding how it all will really work out, and if that understanding is tried it is almost certainly going to be wrong in some ways. But it would be seen that texts are about what is to come in the...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    As it says in Acts 16:31, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. Do you think Yahweh God chooses who to redeem and adopt with no basis at all? What basis is there then other than that? I agree still that God choosing those who are redeemed and adopted means that none of them...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    The passages shown do not establish that Yahweh God was sending Abram from Ur to the land of Canaan and Abram knew it. Abram went with his father's family which intended to move on to the land of Canaan, but they didn't, and they stopped at Haran to live there instead. Abram went on himself...
