    Boss who bullies you

    That would seem to depend--as Messy indicated--on your own view of the job. If you value it and don't want to look for another job, you probably can't do much other than put up with the boss. But if you are truly offended by the boss' behavior and can find good work elsewhere, quit without...

    Faith

    I understand that you have an unusual theory and you cannot show any reason for the readers to think it's a correct one--not from Scripture or even from simple logic.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    And the word "all" means: no special group of men have been chosen to salvation from before their births. Christ died for "all" men, as that verse teaches.

    Southern Baptists

    That's right, despite the other slant that the AP News article put on the matter. The SBC was faced with either 1) abandoning its position on an important Biblical issue, and doing so for the sake of "agreeing to disagree," or else 2) retaining the church's historic position on the matter, one...

    Faith

    Don't pout. I'll explain it again. As I pointed out to you in the previous post, the word faith, capitalized or not, has several different meanings. In the verse you quoted here, Paul's intention was to address those who were already part of the church, not to convert pagans, so when he says...

    Southern Baptists

    No, the Southern Baptist Convention is merely one of the many different Baptist conventions (non-Baptists would say "churches" but Baptists are strong on local autonomy, so "convention" is the term used for the wider association of these congregations). By reputation, the SBC is the leader among...

    USA What if Donald Trump is indicted by a Democrat prosecutor?

    I know. He has funny hair and isn't as phony as most politicians are. BUT which of the self-absorbed challengers for the GOP nomination would you say has any ability or willingness to actually do something worthwhile in the face of the radicalism of those who are in power at present? That, I'm...

    Faith

    No, actually that isn't the case. Faith is about believing in and trusting Jesus as one's savior. It doesn't include believing that he lived until 33AD instead of 30AD or that Mary had no other children, even though both of those ideas have stirred controversy among Christians and even though...

    USA What if Donald Trump is indicted by a Democrat prosecutor?

    I guess we know by now what the answer to #1 above has been. President Trump was not "humiliated and destroyed politically" because of the events in New York. Trump's support has increased. So, what do you think will happen in the long run--"this support is only a momentary reaction that'll...

    Faith

    That's quite wrong and not in keeping with the meaning of the Bible verse that you started your post with. FAITH is what cometh...Not theological expertise on every possible aspect of God's doings. You hold to a strange, unBiblical, view of justification, etc., but I nevertheless admit that...

    APOSTLE'S or NICENE Creed?

    In my experience, you don't even get the donuts if it's a WELS congregation. :(

    Biblical Prophecy

    The answer is that it would be at the time of Christ, as the New Testament teaches us in both the Gospel accounts and in its various Epistles as well. The kingdom was not only redefined by Jesus personally, but we can also see in Scripture that all mankind then became eligible to belong to...

    APOSTLE'S or NICENE Creed?

    All that you've identified there is true.; However, I suspect it's mainly true of Western society, and then its churches are affected by it in turn. As for the Catholics who approach these matters with more apparent seriousness, I wonder if that isn't because those people first became convinced...

    APOSTLE'S or NICENE Creed?

    Okay then. So where do we stand so far as the thread is concerned? No one except the author is offended by the Creeds, and his objection is that they are Creeds instead of something else.

    APOSTLE'S or NICENE Creed?

    Presumably, anyone who is testifying to his belief in the Creed's various articles of faith doesn't simultaneously need to explain them to God and the other parishioners. For example, here would be the wedding vows as I imagine you would have written them-- "I take thee to be my wedded wife to...

    APOSTLE'S or NICENE Creed?

    It must be Section Two of the claim that there is "no mention of the Scriptures in the Creeds" although "according to the Scriptures" is part of the Nicene Creed.

    APOSTLE'S or NICENE Creed?

    It was more than 600 years later that the Latin church added the filioque to its version of the Creed, so I wouldn't exactly call that an event which "kicked off" the controversy. That aside, your contention would seem to be that this addition to the Creed resulted in promoting disunion among...

    Point out problems

    Interesting ramblings and speculation there, but it would take me too much time and typing to correct each one of the errors in that post.

    Point out problems

    That's a fascinating way to say that forced labor gets things done, and that one set of "people in power...benefitting from" corruption is preferable to a different one benefitting from corruption. 🤨

    APOSTLE'S or NICENE Creed?

    Nicely put, Lamb. But somehow, we're still not getting through. However, I can't think of any way to be clearer than we already have been; and this is not an elusive or complicated issue.
