Are you sure that people and teachings of the crazy churches are not influencing you the most...and the information about disciples in ancient times doing miraculous things is merely a reference point for you?
And bear in mind also that many wondrous things were done by the Apostles and other...
Oh, prayer, personal contact and comforting them, helping them with the daily chores, driving them to where they need to go, making sure they have enough groceries and medicines, assisting them with their bills, keeping up communications with their relatives and medical personnel...and so many...
But that's only a trick with words, not a real undertaking.
So, what are we dealing with here in which God is asked to be evil?
Where in Scripture or elsewhere does THAT notion come from?? God seems to have acted on his own many times, according to the Bible. The Great Flood. Sodom and...
What do you recommend when he them moves against Finland and other parts of Eastern Europe and the Middle East that were also once part of the Soviet Union? The Netherlands and Belgium would be getting pretty crowded!
God is omnipotent, however. The reason he doesn't make everything perfect right now is, as you noted yourself, because humans have free will and are capable of doing evil and rejecting righteousness.
Not necessarily. Praying that something which is due to occur will take place sooner rather...
What I wrote in that post was to the effect that we need to realize that God does NOT "direct all our affairs."
Not in the sense of micromanaging all events. He is in charge of all that exists, and he knows all, but the idea that he personally operates everything that we are involved with is a...
This is the point that so many people miss. It's understandable that we all want God to bail us out when bad things happen, and he often does, even when we don't recognize that he's directed affairs to our benefit. That's because we want easy answers.
However, what's forgotten is that Man...
Well, it's apparent that he doesn't understand the Biblical concept of God that the Christian churches are built upon, and there's not much likelihood of having any explanation be accepted.
However, you are to be commended for making the try.
We started off here with the writings and videos produced by an amateur theologian telling followers that a statue that isn't normally thought to be demonic actually is demonic. If the topic now has turned to young children playing a game involving them manipulating witches, I'd say the issue...
Yes, but that's true of much that comes to us from ancient times. They're supposed to be demonic or, if not that, pagan. Similar warnings.
But the issue is whether or not we are subjecting ourselves to--or cooperating with--demons by just having a certain image around, even if we don't...
In order to be clear about this and not just be picking and choosing among famous monuments or stories that are "demonic," how about a listing of those we should have nothing to do with?
In my view, we don't need any more cults of personality built around "do-it-yourself" ministers (or "ministry couples") who appointed themselves to be the spokesmen for a new slant on Christianity (or the old one but with scarier claims) and who will teach you all about it for a donation.
During the Reformation, it surely was. And, incidentally, the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, and to some degree still today in some Orthodox countries, the head of state has much the same position, so it's not something that's peculiar to England. Of course, the sovereign has lots of...
