If you will forgive men their sins, your heavenly Father also will forgive you your offenses. Forgive one another. For just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also must you do.
Maybe God wants people to forgive one another?
Do you think that is true? I guess you must because you wrote it and it is stated emphatically.
Good manners suggests that God is very likely to owe something to every created being. Self consistency also suggests that God owes his creatures something. But the word "owe" has implications in...
Truth is a mystery, it has to be for one reason which ought to be obvious.
So, when truth is revealed in the scriptures and human beings read it or hear it read to them, ought the human beings come away from the experience feeling quite proud of themselves for their industrious, diligent, and...

Seems the post, the film, or their combination has silenced those few who have looked at the post.
I do hope some of you will look further, maybe watch the film if you are able to take it, and if you have time to watch it.
I believe that there's at least one lesson in it, probably many.

I do not advocate for the way of life that some live as Christians but I cannot help but speak in awe of the feats of Christian compassion that some, who are in what many see as a cult, accomplish because of their faith and way of living. One such example is forgiveness as it is shown by the...
