Christian values are liberal. What system of theology and what teacher of morals and what example of unadulterated goodness gives more "something for nothing" than Jesus Christ? Take the time to consider what he says.
Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will...
Brown people wrote the bible. Not yellow people or white people nor black people; brown ones. And Jesus was born a brown man. So why all the anti-brown people stuff that's going on in politics when our faith is founded on the goodness of brown, yellow, black, and white people whenever those...
Why do you need to "swipe right" to answer a phone call? Why not just have a green answer button and a red decline button?
why do you need to swipe down to turn off? Why not just turn off after the power button is pressed for a while?
Why not offer "sight impaired" and "dexterity impaired"...
Protestant usually claim 66 books in their bible.
Catholics say 73.
Greek Orthodox and Slavonic Orthodox say 76*.
Georgian Orthodox say 78*.
Syriac Orthodox say 78* but with 4 differences between them as Georgians.
* - according to Wikipedia.
I will stick with the 73 of the Catholic bible. So...
Does God guide you?
How?
Does the bible teach whatever answer you've given and if it does where does it teach it?
Catholic Culture, a web site, suggests
Five general principles of discernment of God's will that apply to all questions about it, and therefore to our question too, are the...
Can you trust your conscience?
The Gentiles do not have the Law of Moses; they sin and are lost apart from the Law. The Jews have the Law; they sin and are judged by the Law. For it is not by hearing the Law that people are put right with God, but by doing what the Law commands. The Gentiles do...
In the early centuries of our era many Christians died as martyrs for their faith in Jesus Christ. Through all the centuries since some Christians have been martyred for their faith in Jesus Christ. In my lifetime many Catholic missionaries, monks, nuns, and lay people have died as martyrs for...
Okay, the thread title is "click bate" I admit it, but I saw that posts were down the past day or so and new threads are a way to boost posts so here is a new thread. And just to make sure that the thread can live up to its title I will go out of my way to be controversial!
Here goes!

While having lunch in a local bakery "pie shop" I struck up a conversation with two elderly ladies sitting at the table next to mine. They'd been chatting about women wearing Burkas. Now, it is worth noticing that very few women wear a Burka in Australia, I've seen only one in all the years I...
The United Nations special reporter on poverty visited Alabama to investigate poverty as it is experienced in that state and specifically as it is manifested in Lownds county.
The report is discussed on PBS Newshour. Here
One cannot help but have a wry smile at the acronym for the Fair and Reciprocal Tariff bill. Makes a chap wonder if there's a smutty comedian in charge of naming legislation somewhere in the White House :disgonbegood:
In the thread Salvation some questions were raised about "grace"
One is about uncreated and created grace.
Other questions were also raised.
So, here is a new thread to discuss those specific issues. They do relate to Salvation but they also are a subject in themselves.
I was thinking a bit about devotional books and wondered what folk think about devotions prepared by a denomination or a church in contrast to devotions prepared by individuals. Which do you prefer. Which do you trust. Is this a little bit like the contrast between capitalism and free market...
Jesus said Matthew 24:32 And from the fig tree learn a parable: When the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh. 33 So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh, even at the doors. 34 Amen I say to you, that this...
Tonight's personal scripture reading for me was the second and third letters of saint John. I noticed a phrase in both books but especially in 3 John that was interesting. It was "in the truth". I'll post the passage below.
3 John 1 I, the elder, to my dear friend Gaius, whom I love sincerely...
I am curious to know which non-trinitarian or non-nicean religion derived from one branch or another of Christianity most interests you and with which you have most contact?
I think the one I have most contact with is Jehovah's witnesses. I've had an elder from a local Kingdom Hall call around...
What is love? 2 John 1:6 This is love: to walk according to his commandments. And this is the commandment: that you walk in love, as you have learned from the beginning.
Is there less to Love than this or more?
