    Peace, Love, & Understanding

    Love without reference to God will tend to fall very short. Atheists are at a disadvantage in that very thing. And we can be so sure of what God is like through Jesus Christ, who reveals enough for that. The Creator cares for all in the creation, as is shown of the beginning, God is not limited...

    Peace, Love, & Understanding

    Can it be that fright is a good thing if it's applied judiciously? Is it just as wise to be afraid of God as it is wise to be afraid of cactus spines, a mule's kick, or a forest fire? If we live in fear, we do not do anything other than how we live that avoids risking what we fear. Fear is not...

    Peace, Love, & Understanding

    God is our example, as Jesus had said, "Be then perfect, as (for) your Father in Heaven is perfect." (Matthew 5:48) God is not limiting love and caring for God's creatures, Jesus also is showing that in the incarnation he is called the Son of God, so that the heavenly Father would be known as...

    Peace, Love, & Understanding

    Lacking tolerance of other people is such lack of love. We can speak of the gospel, and repentance from sin, but it is not a witness to others without love shown. Jesus is the example to us for that. We will not find others just like us, and that is not the point.

    Peace, Love, & Understanding

    Modern Christians, even though love is brought up in their communication, are generally showing a lack of that and other qualities Christian believers are to grow in, that they, as imitators of God, walk in love, as Christ showed his love, Ephesians 5:1-2, along with having joy, peace...

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    The thing is that I, and I believe others, are not just bringing up that Mary did have other children. It is an expected response when they hear it declared that Mary did not have children after Jesus and was remaining a virgin perpetually through her marriage, which is part of the mariology...

    Is Obedience a Condition of Salvation?

    We are not saved in Christ from being obedient, humanity is all fallen and lost from disobedience in rebellion to God. So with being saved in Christ we should be brought to obedience, being delivered from living disobediently. Is blood all already removed from meat you have?

    How often do you get your haircut?

    I do not get haircuts. I just trim it as far as I can manage, trying to even it out, I still have it longer now. I guess I am just a bit more natural with not being as dependent as before, of course really needing God through everything.

    What surgeries have you had?

    I am glad I have not had surgery, other than oral, if that counts. I had a fracture once, but even that did not call for surgery. I see there is blessing here to me.

    Should people who rip books out of the Bible burn in Hell?

    I prefer to speak for myself. While the actual gospel of salvation is essential, the whole Bible is not that. People can be saved and do get saved without the Bible. But the Bible is important as basis. It is the gospel that Jesus is our savior and we need to have our trust in him for that.

    Should people who rip books out of the Bible burn in Hell?

    Ripping out the message of the gospel of Christ or a part of it, as any part of the gospel message is essential, would have one not be saved, and such a one would perish.

    Would you buy Hitler's art?

    Of course, it is about art, on its own. Hitler should still not be excused. There were some others about as evil, but he was not anything close to being average, his evil was not in check. He deliberately was killing off as many people he did not approve of as he could.

    Should people who rip books out of the Bible burn in Hell?

    I don't say that. If Christ is refused people suffer for their sins.

    Would you buy Hitler's art?

    There were atrocities in many societies, this one included. That is not enough to excuse a madman.

    Log in an eye

    I would love Christian fellowship. But I find a forum format is not a good design for that, unless personal messaging is used. There are threads of discussion focusing on topics, and as Christians do not at all agree on everything, different positions on those subjects get discussed, or debated...

    JOHN 7:1 JESUS HAD BROTHERS

    Oh look. I said Jesus may have driven a car. Now I have basis. There is nothing in the Bible showing he did not. There is then no basis to say he did not. I see the same reasoning.

    Would you buy Hitler's art?

    I wonder about this apologetic for Nazi Germany and especially dismissing that it was very evil, how it would slip into this forum site. How evil some other time or power was would be irrelevant to that. Nazi Germany was aggressive, that it was not known how other nations would respond is not...
