    Pro-life question

    For one, they may get arrested if they do that. There is a recent instance of a women being hassled and arrested by police merely for standing silently across from an abortuary which was closed at the time and doing so with her head bowed while reportedly holding a rosary. She was accused of...

    Was it a hate crime?

    I remember days not long past when "transgendered" referred to someone who actually did everything that would be possible in the area of changing genders--surgery, counseling, provisionally living as the other sex for some time, taking medicines that suppress the characteristics of the "former"...

    Reincarnation

    Indeed. The Bible teaches that “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 27:9) KJV). So the answer to the question would seem to be "no." There have been some small movements among Christians that argue for the idea of reincarnation being Scriptural, but the...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    That might be half of the issue, all right. Why doesn't the rest interest you? It takes up a lot of space in the New Testament.

    Bride kneels in front of groom to recite vows based in Christian theology

    This is apparently not a familiar part of any wedding ceremony or reaffirmation of vows as used in any Christian church. I had to do a search for a very long time before finding even one reference to this move by the bride, and it turns out that this is a Nigerian custom. It certainly is not...

    ‘Green’ burial alternatives

    Me thinks that you are now arguing for the sake of arguing. No one suggested that God would have a hard time resurrecting a dismembered or fragmented corpse. It was just the opposite, in fact. Really? THAT's what you really and truly think? 😒

    ‘Green’ burial alternatives

    Well, I did explain why it is more respectful, so hypothetical exceptions or the strange customs of some tribe somewhere are not serious considerations when we're discussing why and how our society perceives such things. :) Okay, educate me about that. So, the mourners are gathered around the...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    However, that is not the issue. Even though you say you are "good with" the belief you've fashioned for yourself, would you nevertheless consent to addressing the real issue, either as it's been explained to you several times by different posters here or by the Bible itself and almost every...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    I realize that, but the post I recommended puts the matter succinctly and correctly. You need to take account of what it explains instead of simply repeating your same version of the matter by which unrepentant sinners and unbelievers are nevertheless saved for no reason other than that God...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Post #326 explains the matter quite well for you.

    Dave

    Most active? Maybe, but the majority of his posts were nearly-identical re-posts of what he'd said earlier. That was his idea of "discussion." Wear down the other posters without ever resolving anything. Does that count towards being the "most active member," or is there a better term for the...

    Easter's Importance

    Okay Okay He was the natural child of Mary regardless of the means of insemination. God willed it. That's evident from the following language: Overshadow, yes. Or, to use the full wording of the Bible verse... 35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the...

    ‘Green’ burial alternatives

    That's true, but I was pointing out that it's a bit of a leap to conclude that when Jesus said to bury the dead, that this was because there wasn't any other method of disposing of bodies. Of course there were others at that time in history. I DO think that a respectful burial service along...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    That would be the logical conclusion, yes. And we can presumably also ignore the words of Jesus himself as given to his Apostles when he told them to go into the world, make converts, and baptize them. :confused:

    ‘Green’ burial alternatives

    That seems true enough, but he could have chosen not to make this a point of emphasis or simply said to dispose of the remains in some respectful way, etc. At that point I was referring back to Lamb's statement which you had chosen not to comment on. If you don't think that an intact corpse...

    ‘Green’ burial alternatives

    Exactly. HOWEVER there's also that other issue which both Lamb and I referred to. It means something, even if God is not stymied by a cremation or a soldier being blown to bits on the battlefield, etc. And, there may also be one more consideration as well. Burial is what Jesus taught, but...

    Spam?

    Love it.

    ‘Green’ burial alternatives

    But it does. It's mainly a matter of imagery because, as Lamb suggested, God can do anything and there's no reason to think that if a body has been reduced to particles it cannot later be 'raised' by him in some way or other. He said he'll do it, so he will do it. If that WERE NOT the case...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Good grief. Anyone should be able to see that they are not "the same thing." If there are two possible ways of understanding the matter, with Justification standing alone according to one of them and Faith needed in addition with the other one...these two CANNOT be "the same thing," can they...

    Supernatural experiences

    Just one thing, my friend. I didn't say that I doubted that people can and do have spiritual encounters. What I was referring to was the particular one that you described. It took place in a non-Trinitarian church that "specializes" in that specific kind of experience. And you followed the...
