There should be growth included, spiritual growth. Modern teaching of Christianity seems to often neglect that. Sorry I did not think of a term starting with L for that. There is godliness to be desired, if we come to that as we should, the fruit of God's Spirit is essential for this, and...
I do not expect agreement from here on anything I will name for such, and I am not here to debate things I see for such. But there could be agreement there are some things Christians miss because of their beliefs. There are disagreements among Christians. So at least some are missing some...
Science is science, with its definition. Theology is not science as such. It would have logic if we used logic with it, it is at least philosophy that I am sure has more basis than other philosophies any use in their approach to anything. Some oppose Christian theology still.
Oh well, I would have engaged. Christianity has truth, many Christians do still miss some things that are true because of what there is they already believe, but being mistaken in something too. It can happen with me though I am careful.
Frankly, our government now is not like anything the founding fathers of the United States would ever envision from the consensus to the Constitution with the Bill of Rights in place. There was so much written in it to avoid a lot of what came about with government since then, and claimed...
It is not that I would walk away from Christianity. But I have the experience of being so discouraged before, with tremendously great loss, and, I am yet aware of weakness in areas of Christian faith, not that Christian faith is wrong, it has strong evidences for it. But, if I ever did think...
There are cults in different ways. We learn things when young. We question some things, but there are a lit of things not questioned. This is especially when those we see all do likewise. Like politics, and even patriotism.
I do not have card membership, but there are cults, some would say I have membership in some certain cult or another. Cults are very generally wide spread everywhere. Some of you might be members of a cult, likely enough.
Clement of Alexandria book 2 chapter 1 can be read here:
https://earlychristianwritings.com/text/clement-instructor-book2.html
It is a longer read there, it is what I referred to.
I do find some argument from those who respond for the interest to serve their bellies.
The writings such as this may be so wordy, there might not be readers seeing what is said here. It relates to the table of demons mentioned in the new testament of the Bible, that would seem so vague to some. Here Clement is showing that there are many such who are motivated by their bodily...
Early Christians have a testimony which should not be dismissed. Such might not be considered, so it would be appropriate to share what is yet found from very early Christian writers nearest to the time of Christ's resurrection and the start of the Christian church.
Here is an excerpt from...
It seems that the early Christian writers nearest to the time of Christ's resurrection and the start of the Christian church though not with the authority on things from God as what is in the new testament, and the old testament, of the Bible, are of significant value in better understanding of...
I don't really hate Christian songs. There is still It Is Well, it can be sung really well, and I have heard that, but it is not easy, I find I sing it too flat, others do too.
Many will express strong skepticism of Heaven or anything to experience hereafter. What do you expect when there is skepticism, or from some dismissal, of God? God is necessary to any realistic Heaven that there would be to experience. But with God being good, thar is what there would be. God is...
I would not base argument about reality on silence in the Bible. There are many things in reality not mentioned in the Bible. But if there is something important to doctrine the Bible will be clear about it. Doctrines that do not have that clear basis from the Bible have an interpretation not...
The universe is very huge, and this said is very much an understatement. I believe that in all the vast universe there would be some other worlds with living beings there. God is the Creator that determines all of the universe being there, and we are on one obscure spot in it, relative to the...
I think that I should break off from posting at this forum site. I am not finding communication that I would really want to. I figured out that I owe the explanation rather than just disappearing from here. I want to acknowledge those who communicated with kindness each time they posted a...
My original post in this thread was on the topic. When someone responds to my communication to single out one thing to criticize that it was wrong, I am right to respond to that showing I wasn't wrong, which I actually wasn't. I don't need to start a different thread, for that, and I am not...
I think there is lack of biblical support for that position. I find the biblical basis that Yahweh is love and cares for all, as the Creator. The premise of ethnic groups continuing in eternity is flawed, though. We who are redeemed will come to have a new identity. There is no basis to say the...
See what many don't see and miss passages for it being shown, that my conscience is not wrong, and God's compassion is greater, God cares for the creatures of God's creation...
