    Bad decisions your congregation made?

    It's kinda hard to judge this, but my last congregation, a Lutheran one FWIW, decided to close their accredited Christian K-8 school and do other things with the money it was spending on it. I'm unaffiliated now, for numerous reasons, but still drive by the Church fairly often. It has nice new...

    Prayer and God's Will - Why Do So Many Christians Misunderstand?

    The way I understand God's will is that God will is an outcome and man chooses how to fulfill it. This is free will, but free will withing the framework of God's will. God's will is always done and all that man does is simply the direction we take in achieving it. An example of this is that...

    Prayer and God's Will - Why Do So Many Christians Misunderstand?

    You fail to understand Genesis 1:1, it doesn't say that the entire universe was created in 7 days. Meditate on it for a while.

    Small churches acting like bigger churches

    Maybe Churches as a whole should avoid formally becoming social and recreational organizations. Or limit their outside activities to hosting Bible studies and discussion groups that discuss the problems and challenges of Christian life in today's world that meet informally without defined...

    Prayer and God's Will - Why Do So Many Christians Misunderstand?

    To begin with, you do not know what I think. You know only the words I post. But what part of my post are you taking issue with, the Bible verse or my suggestion that you can find any answer to any question in the Bible if you look for it?

    Prayer and God's Will - Why Do So Many Christians Misunderstand?

    Something that it may be wise to consider here: Isaiah 55:8-9 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. " There are others as...

    USA Thoughts on Biden pardoning Hunter?

    This sort of suggests that there are crimes that no one knows Hunter has committed yet, except maybe his father or others that were involved in them. This is not a good sign for the moral condition of our country and its leaders.

    Prayer and God's Will - Why Do So Many Christians Misunderstand?

    Is your purpose to attack Christianity or to learn from it? Whether you call yourself Christian or not, there is a great deal to learn from Christian beliefs and teachings but if you want the actual power of Christianity, of God, in your life you will have to accept it and not try to dissect...

    Prayer and God's Will - Why Do So Many Christians Misunderstand?

    Well, how do you see God's will, and how do you believe it is carried out in the world? This actually key to understanding many things that make little or no sense otherwise.

    Prayer and God's Will - Why Do So Many Christians Misunderstand?

    I see nothing wrong with asking God for our needs and desires, for help for ourselves or others, or blessings to be given to others who are having a difficult time. That said, I do see a big difference between a prayer that basically is saying "God, please help me with this ....." and one that...

    World population

    I think it should be considered that in the earliest days of man, the days of Adam, mankind was genetically perfect and there were no genetic reasons for close relatives to avoid having children with each other as they would be passing on perfect genetic traits without any negative ones...

    USA Police hunt for gunman after UnitedHealthcare CEO killed in New York City

    Interesting that this one isn't likely to do anyone any harm that he hasn't already harmed, while the constant barrage of crazies, armed robbers, carjackers, and killer gangs seems to have been accepted by them to the point that they even prosecute those defending against them. Of course, I'm...

    World Calls grow for South Korea’s president to resign after martial law chaos

    This is probably happening at a bad time considering the current situation with NK and how it could work in their favor. Any country in serious political chaos is at a weak point and that favors their enemies in a confrontational situation.

    USA Trump cites Hunter Biden pardon in latest legal attempt to throw out hush money conviction

    There was no twisting, distorting, or reinterpreting of the law by the prosecutor in Hunters case, it was applied the same way it is to everyone in a lower station in life (Yes, people have gone to jail for this more than once). But that 10 year blanket pardon certainly suggests there were...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    You can argue a lot of things, but I think arguing the Apostles didn't witness what Jesus did will fall flat.
