    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Nonsense. It is entirely possible that two things are needed to complete a process. Christ's blood made salvation possible, and Faith in Christ and his sacrifice is the way that Christ himself taught that his followers would become eligible for the benefits offered because of that sacrifice...

    Book of Revelation

    That's right. John himself states in that book that he saw a vision. When else would we assume that every detail in a vision was meant to be accepted in a super-literal sense? Mostly, we wouldn't. Instead, we'd consider it to be relaying an important message through various images and etc...

    How does your church collect offerings?

    The basket in the back of the church approach is probably becoming more common, but there is a reason for every part of the worship service, in most cases dating back to the earliest days of the Church. Of course, that wouldn't apply in the case of denominations that have junked almost all of...

    Pray the Lord's Prayer weekly?

    Then give 'thinking about the words' a try.

    Pray the Lord's Prayer weekly?

    Yes. Of course.

    Israel now at war

    How about this overview, and these facts? The Turkish state/government bet on the wrong horse in the Great War. She allied with Germany which started the war, and then she, along with her allies such as Austria-Hungary, lost. Fact. As happens with wars, the winners redrew the map. In this...

    Should a college degree be waived?

    It depends on the job in question. If experience in the field prepares a person adequately, then that's what matters to the employer and having a college degree may simply be a way of looking to hire the most capable person from a number of good applicants. But as noted, there are positions...

    Do you like self-checkout?

    I tend to agree with you on that score. While I respect those who say that they never have any trouble or that it's solved pronto by an employee, it's always something! If you get the bags issue correct, the next time there will be a different problem. By the way also, I was reading that...

    The Last Supper

    Isn't it the case that Our Lord was conveying several different but related messages at one sitting? Those would include the observance of the meal among them after his departure, the meaning he was attaching to the meal (it not being just the ordinary Passover seder), and a certain commission...

    Do you like self-checkout?

    No. There are too many problems with that system and its equipment. I have changed stores, in fact, because of it. After spending a lot of time shopping, the last thing I need is to go through a dozen different procedures on a machine that's different from the same thing in another store and...

    If you're a congregation with older members...

    Sort of like "What's so great about the US Constitution? It's old and hasn't changed much. But that "world government" idea, along with some of the updating Karl Marx proposed...that's attractive and modern." Right? Well, no. That was sarcasm, of course, but the point is that what worked and...

    If you're a congregation with older members...

    We seem to have been lacking religious topics lately, and I was wondering to myself what subjects would be good to raise. I'm happy to see that you served up a worthy and timely one. This problem is undeniably critical for congregations and parishes across the spectrum! However, I don't know...

    “Ebony Alert”

    Well, I did take note of that statement, but such a vague reference made in passing seemed to serve only to allow you to say you offered us a balanced response when, in reality, the post mainly promoted the false notion that "equity" should be understood as merely another way of saying...

    “Ebony Alert”

    Uh, no. Where's the drawing in which the shortest boy is raised above the others who then may--but may not--be able to see the game because of the repositioning?

    “Ebony Alert”

    ...and that's exactly why "equality," which once was the key word, has lately been changed to "equity." Most people probably haven't even noticed the switch, although it seems that every city government, school, business, and bank has adopted the new wording. "Equity" also has the benefit of...

    What is your church's position on ordaining women to eldership (the priesthood)?

    Understood. But now we're drifting away from the question of the OP. Originally it asked about the priesthood, but not every church that holds to the traditional, historic view about women as pastors has priests. So they can't answer the question in the affirmative and as it was asked...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    With that, however, you are merely defining the word that you selected (knowledge) in order to explain one particular thing about Faith, while you simultaneously avoid the functioning, meaning, and definition of Faith itself.

    “Ebony Alert”

    What should we think about it? The policy is obviously racist, prejudiced, immoral and the rest of what other members have pointed to already. Were we expected to find some redeeming quality hiding among the various wrongs that are built into this creation of extremist politicians? If so...

    What is your church's position on ordaining women to eldership (the priesthood)?

    Basically, that's the position taken by my church as well.
