    UK monarchy

    Nothing like the funeral of Ronald Reagan, that's certain.

    UK monarchy

    I feel supportive of the monarchy continuing on. It is a unifying force, has all the benefits referred to by Josiah, and tends to moderate the kinds of partisan warfare that we suffer under in the USA. It has often been said, by the way, that the monarchy is expensive, but that is offset by a...

    Will God destroy America?

    It was in post #11 that I commented on your confused view of history. But of course I realize that it's always possible that some people might misunderstand whatever gets posted here, and for various reasons. You'll have to point me to the parts that perplexed you if you want them restated in...

    Will God destroy America?

    But there hardly seems to be a reason to destroy America first. Many nations have risen and later fallen, and many were officially or predominately Christian. History goes on until He calls an end to all of human history. There's no particular linkage between those events.

    Why is this diversity not worrying Christians?

    Well then, what's necessary is for us to bring clarity to your concerns. It's not that Christianity actually is so divided, as I've been trying to get across to you, but just that you have imagined the existence of a problem when thinking about Christianity. At the same time, you think that all...

    Why is this diversity not worrying Christians?

    That would be very shortsighted. While God is infallible, we are not. As a result, he communicates to us on the level we occupy. That means revelation, inspired writings, occasionally miracles. All of that is received by a fallen race (humanity) and perceived through our sense organs. OF...

    Why is this diversity not worrying Christians?

    Why are you refining (meaning changing) your assertion now? In your first message, you said that the different churches of Christianity don't even stand on the same basis (which is clearly not correct to say). And you also said that it's as though "very Christian's belief system is as unique as...

    Why is this diversity not worrying Christians?

    I disagree...and please take note of the fact that I did not say there are no differences. I said that they are not as important as those beliefs which Christians of different denominations hold in common. Whether one is a Roman Catholic or a Lutheran or Orthodox or mainline Protestant, this...

    Why is this diversity not worrying Christians?

    Three answers: 1. We Christians DO NOT, in fact, believe "wildly different things." With few exceptions, the commonalities are more important than the differences. 2. All the other ones of the major world religions (Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, etc.) have different branches as well, but they...

    I'm counting about 14.

    Modes of Communion

    That certainly could be the case. I was thinking of one particular package, and your description sounded quite like it--a cover that was to be peeled back, revealing a host situated on top of a tiny chalice-shaped container of grape juice. Right? But there must be different variations on that...

    Modes of Communion

    I remember reading that one church gave up that idea because the sound of everybody ripping off the seal simultaneously brought complaints over how inappropriate and distracting that feature was...and at this very special moment during the worship. That's something to consider, but I think...

    Modes of Communion

    It seems to be gaining acceptance more recently, but as I said it's still not the norm. Also, I think that that practice got a boost during the Covid heyday when everyone was worried about catching the disease from someone else. Studies have shown that this (intinction) doesn't help much, but...

    Modes of Communion

    All of that response strikes me as entirely reasonable, but as a point of information...having the bread dipped into the wine prior to giving it is the historic way of the Orthodox Eastern churches. There, the priest does it and then puts it into the communicant's mouth on a spoon. Also, in the...

    Sounds like I needed an option #5 on the list! ;)

    Modes of Communion

    There are many ways that the Holy Communion elements--the bread and cup--are distributed to the worshippers (called "communicants"). To some extent, this varies by denomination, but there is a lot of crossover these days when it comes to that subject. Which, if any, of the following methods do...

    Bidens 'Soul of the Nation' speech.

    Seems unfair to Nero, doesn't it?

    Queen Elizabeth dies

    There will there always will be that faction which wants to end the monarchy, but if we consult the polls taken of the British people over the years, the popularity of the idea was significant earlier in her reign but now it's much smaller. The response to Diana's death was one factor in that...

    Queen Elizabeth dies

    Right. Elizabeth turned things around and might have saved the monarchy. It was no accident that she made the right moves at the right time and blunted the attitude that was saying the monarchy was outmoded, no longer served any purpose, cost too much, and so on. Much of that falls on the...
