    Queen Elizabeth dies

    You mean Louis XIV who ruled for only a couple more years than Elizabeth II did. He, however, become king when he was only a young child, unlike Elizabeth. That trend has been in play for some years now. But I don't think of it as particularly critical to the idea we're talking about since...

    Organ. I cannot remember any other instrument ever being used.

    Bidens 'Soul of the Nation' speech.

    That's a difficult issue--whether to obey even the worst of rulers OR to refuse it when they are immoral. However, it is flatly ridiculous when people think that the horrors which have been imposed upon society by evil rulers have for some reason been deliberately planned by God. It may be...

    Which faith movement is the closest to your opinion of what true Christianity is?

    None of your complaints there correctly reflects what I wrote. At this stage of things, though, I think that referring you back to the earlier posts is the best help I can offer, and I hope that a careful re-reading of them will clear up everything for you. 🙂

    Which faith movement is the closest to your opinion of what true Christianity is?

    I don't. If you want to know what the term "Easy Believism" refers to, here it is again and for the last time. Faith, meaning Faith in Christ, saves. BUT there are many people who claim to be believers in Christ or to have "Faith" when what they really mean is that they admire Jesus or...

    Which faith movement is the closest to your opinion of what true Christianity is?

    You're quoting the hypothetical "easy believer" who says that claiming Christ is "all that's necessary" for salvation. But the claim itself is not "all that's necessary." Read the Epistle of James who explains this matter at length. Yes, we can affirm that Faith is necessary, that Faith saves...

    Which faith movement is the closest to your opinion of what true Christianity is?

    Certainly not. No, that guess isn't correct. An example of "easy believism" or of a superficial attachment to the Lord would be someone who claims to have accepted Christ as Lord and Savior, but who also thinks that this is all that's necessary--labelling himself as a believer while not...

    How pagan festival of Easter was used against the Sabbath

    Could be said about me...and almost all of the Christians, churches, and theologians of history! Take note that the prominent people who, during Bullinger's own lifetime, respected the man for various reasons couldn't accept his unorthodox religious theories as well.

    How pagan festival of Easter was used against the Sabbath

    That's the rationalization used by the small number of churches that, fairly recently, decided to revise some of the long-held beliefs of Christianity. But there's no real basis for the several "what ifs" you had to build into your contention. Without going into it too far, the argument is...

    World Bye Boris!

    That's true. And much the same observation can be made about the Republican Party in the USA. It looked, from afar, that the list of possible replacements for Boris didn't offer anyone else who was much better than she. Yeah. When have we ever before wondered if the Parliamentary system might...

    Which faith movement is the closest to your opinion of what true Christianity is?

    That may be true, but it's not what the term "Easy Believism" refers to. Like many other sarcastic labels, this one oversimplifies the issue and can be misunderstood if taken strictly literally. It's not that belief (in Christ or Christianity) is either easy or hard to come by. The expression...

    Kneeling at church?

    What I described IS in a particular order, though, week after week. However, that order may vary somewhat from denomination to denomination and from congregation to congregation. I merely offered you an example. To that extent, then, it's not much different from the liturgies you observed in...

    Bidens 'Soul of the Nation' speech.

    That's what some GAGA Democrats (not to be confused with MAGA Republicans) want you to think, but a reading of post #9 should help a lot. :)

    Hymns/Songs that don't name God

    It's certainly not a "big deal," but I guess that "sticking to the point" in these discussions seems to me the right thing to do. That doesn't mean no additional or related ideas can ever be brought into someone's reply, but not if it means misrepresenting the question that launched the...

    Kneeling at church?

    But that appears to me to BE that church's format. You can expect singing, prayer, collecting the offering, then the sermon, more singing, the dismissal, etc....that's their regular order of things, no?

    Kneeling at church?

    Standing for the reading of the Holy Gospel seems appropriate to me, as does kneeling for prayer, and so on. It's quite logical and dates from early times, but those folks who weren't raised as Anglicans (or Catholics, Orthodox Eastern Christians, Methodists, or Lutherans) usually do not...

    Bidens 'Soul of the Nation' speech.

    Keep in mind that a certain strategy is at work. Whichever harmful policies are being pushed by that certain political party, the party will simultaneously condemn the opposite party for supposedly doing whatever it is that the first one is involved with. We see it all the time. It's a...

    Hymns or songs "if you're in church" was the way it was stated.

    What makes you a Christian?

    Yes, but the contents of the Bible (while that's admittedly divine revelation) pose some problems of interpretation. It is generally understood that, within limits, all who truly believe in Christ as Lord and Savior are properly classified as Christians. That's it. Some of them may be...
