    Palm Sunday...what kind of palms?

    Cabbage Palms. And don't forget to make one of them into a Palm Cross after church so that it can conveniently be kept for the rest of the year.

    The Salvation of Jesus Christ

    Then name for us even one living person who IS perfect. Not who is TRYING to be perfect, or even just to do better, but perfect.

    REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    But it WAS taught from ancient times forward. The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century is noteworthy for making an issue of 'Faith Alone,' and that took place when it did because of the accelerating trend promoted by the Church of Rome towards works-based alternatives to Faith. Examples...

    The indictment of Donald Trump

    Not necessarily...because of three new, or relatively new, issues. 1. Biden had been seen as a Moderate when he opposed Trump for election. Now, however, he's seen as a front man doing the bidding of corporate bosses, Communist China, and various extremists in his own party. He's become one of...

    Pro-life question

    I see it as accomplishing the same thing, but the idea of God using his hands (?) and a chisel or other tool to make soil, actually dust, hold together and form a statue, then blow air into the nostrils of the dummy, thus making that inanimate object have a soul, etc. is pointless of God and...

    Pro-life question

    Certainly, but the whole passage is strong on imagery and analogies, which is agreed to by most Bible commentators. The idea of God making a dummy that looks like us and then later on literally exhaled wind into the nostrils of that statue, which is how he gained an immortal soul, is not taken...

    The indictment of Donald Trump

    Yeeesssss, but it's not entirely a mystery. Not when we survey the trail that's been left by the opponents of free elections. For one thing, the elections of 2022 and 2020 were marred by wholescale innovations, usually introduced without going through the appropriate legal channels, doing which...

    The Salvation of Jesus Christ

    Yes. That really is the issue. In theory, we could imagine humans appeasing a righteous god in all sorts of ways. We read how various primitive people throughout history--and some religions of our own time--approached the issue, but sacrificing virgins or destroying animals and/or possessions...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    By Faith. No. If keeping the Law perfectly--which was the rule prior to Christ's atoning sacrifice--was the means by which "Christ's Righteouness" was "imputed to them," none could be saved. Why it is that we keep reading posts from members who have removed Faith from their thinking (even...

    The worst place to wait

    Messy, I'm intrigued to learn that your reply concerned events in a bus station, and that's because I was set to have "bus station" be my own answer. I remember a few occasions when I spent time in a grimy bus station not intending to buy a ticket, board a bus, or go anywhere myself, but just...

    Pro-life question

    Do you seriously believe that God created a humanoid mannequin or something close to that and then after a while caused it, like Frankenstein's monster, to move, think, breathe and so on?? Obviously, that sequence of separate events is not what the wording is saying. Great. But I wasn't arguing...

    Round 587 of the Is the L of Tulip godly or demonic?

    Indeed. And those are people who are in step with the churches to which they belong, whether Calvinistic, Catholic, or some other. The controversy here has been framed by CH members, mainly ones who are not affiliated with any denomination, who are asserting their own personal views that are...

    Supernatural experiences

    That's what they believe, all right. It's still an old, old heresy that the writers of the Creeds took pains to rebut. But as is often said, "there is nothing new under the Sun," so almost every heresy from the ancient world has reappeared in one or another denomination of recent origin. That's...

    Supernatural experiences

    Hi, Lucian. Now we're taking up an experience that's not exactly what the Original Post was about, but anyway, your experience with that book reminded me of the practice of St. Francis of Assisi who believed that, if he was facing some spiritual issue, he could turn to some page and verse in...

    Supernatural experiences

    Let's be clear about that, since it appears your post is a follow-up to the earlier one addressed to me. You were participating in the worship service of a church that is often considered to be a cult because it does not believe in the Trinity, the normal belief of Christians both Catholic and...

    Pro-life question

    I hear you. But the "problem" in practical terms is that the pro-abortion side will not hear of ANY restrictions on abortion, while the pro-life side has been willing to strike a compromise--a number of possible ones, in fact--even if those would conflict with these people's personal moral...

    More train derailments?

    That's a good question, and I don't know the answer. I wondered about it, but I haven't noticed any news outlet giving the data to us. Something related to the question is worth a moment's thought, however. When the man in the White House started his war against energy, pipelines in general...

    Pro-life question

    I really cannot accept that this is the actual meaning of that wording. That's true. Yes, and that's the way the advocates for changing everything usually approach the issue. First, the most easily appreciated, if uncommon, reasons for change are made out to be central to the matter. THEN...

    Was it a hate crime?

    There is an element in the story--the general story about the course of events in this society, I mean, not this particular incident only--that most people are almost certainly not thinking of. Any minority or "special interest" group, etc. can be made to feel victimized if influential voices...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    True enough. The greater part of Christ's ministry on Earth would have to be considered a pointless exercise if his death was done only for the benefit of a select few. His many admonitions, advice, and calls (to all manner of people) for trust in his work and his promises would have been done...
