Everyone should use cash whenever possible, and have economic commodities for when it can no longer be had. Consider that the day of the Mark is coming, you will get to choose between if and being denied the necessities of life. (Of course it could still be more than a lifetime away, or maybe...
The Church of Accommodation, the New Age Church where everyone is welcomed without question and gets to believe anything and everything they want without regard to what the Bible actually says about and often in addition to it as well.
Led by unsound doctrine that pleases people without...
Avoiding teaching of sin to avoid offending the sinners is a growing trend in many Churches today.
Only preach about positive and wonderful things that make you feel; good and avoid the nature and consequences of sin, the need for repentance and reform of a sinful lifestyle, the sort of thing...
Why would anyone try again after the first time being denied one, they're readily available on the street and you don't need some kind of card for them, they're usually cheaper there too.
Someone needs to come up with a definition of 'fair' that everyone can agree on.
Otherwise everyone will decide fair or unfair according to his own mind, his view being the righteous one and everyone that has a different view being the unrighteous.
This is all very true and I agree with it, but in today's Church of Accommodation, which seems to have become the dominant one as of late, how many of those who leave have ever actually heard the truth of the Gospel, and how many some have only heard tainted doctrine aimed at worldly acceptance...
This is pretty much summed up in Matthew 7:12 “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.", is it not?
It is important to recognize the difference between Atheism and Agnosticism, one is based on an absolute belief that there is no God of any kind and the other on the unknowability of God if one exists which is beyond the ability to know one way or the other.
I think agnosticism is actually...
We live in an age where everything you say to investigators can and will be twisted and distorted to mean what they want it to mean with no regard to what it actually meant when you said it.
Way back when, I met and talked with one of the surviving Branch Dravidian's who told me he willingly...
In its simplest form, I would say sin is standing in opposition to God instead of cooperation with him.
If that is accepted then the question shifts to how do we know when, or if, we are doing this?
Of course, this requires acknowledgment that God exists, at least in some form, in the first place.
If this was actually possible, if it truly worked, someone could really clean up in Las Vegas with it.
Gambling is, after all, based on predicting human behavior to the largest extent and if it is predictable there is no random chance involved.
It's interesting to watch the Middle East, Israel in particular, but I always wonder if the events are driven by politics or the politics are driven by the events.
People have been debating the idea of free will in our lives, whether we are simply observers of our lives or the directors of them, since ancient Greece without arriving at any way to either prove or disprove it definitively.
One thing I'm pretty sure of though, Centaur has no free will and...
I have no idea what you're trying to say, or ask, in relation to my post.
Could you try wording it differently or otherwise explain what you mean? I seem to be having difficulty relating your post to mine.
Something for consideration: When you are an unforgiving person for the perceived wrongs of others against you and find yourself full of all sorts of little grudges and resentments against them your innermost being becomes tainted and your heart full of hatred without your even realizing it...
I suppose whether or not it is a transaction is dependent on what the nature of a transaction is considered to be, but it definitely does set terms for forgiveness.
And I agree that it is a call to live a life like his, something we should strive for in all aspects of our lives if we are saved...
Something that seems simple on the surface and easy to understand, but which, when meditating on its deeper meanings, is an extremely expansive thing that few can actually fully grasp.
For most men, at least at some point in their lives, a woman's hair is a highly attractive thing that leads them to noticing their beauty rather than ignoring it.
This is how I've always understood it, but doesn't this make forgiveness a transactional thing, contingent on your doing certain things, such as forgiving others, in return?
