    Salvation

    I can understand the very human desire for reassurance and for certainty about the future, it is after all what drives people to seek foretelling of events from astrologers and tarot cards and from mediums and fortune tellers so it is no surprise to find Christians seeking to be reassured about...

    It's abhorrent.

    The policy that separates children from their parents is new. It was instituted by Jeff Sessions. It is fulfilling Donald Trump's election "promises" to treat Mexican (and other Hispanic) refugees like criminals equivalent in wickedness to rapists and murderers.

    It's abhorrent.

    You wrote I'm not buying your argument that all of those crossing the border are running from death, rape and other unsafe conditions. Good. I do not buy that either. It isn't what I wrote. I wrote Running from persecution and danger appears to be the motive for many (if not all) refugee...

    It's abhorrent.

    Good verse brother Tigger. The Law testifies against bad laws and bad rulers saying Exodus 23:1 Do not make false statements. And do not join hands with the wicked by being a malicious witness. 2 Do not follow the majority when they do evil, or when they pervert justice in a lawsuit. 3 Do not...

    It's abhorrent.

    North is where the "freedom" is and the money. South is where the dictators and corrupt governments and poverty are. Why head south? It would be stupid. PS: In my part of the world it is the opposite. South is where the "freedom" is and the money and north is where the poverty and dictatorships...

    It's abhorrent.

    Harsh penalties for serious crimes committed in a safe society under a democratic and open government is what some people think works as a deterrent. But aren't refugee applicants escaping from a society that is not safe and a government that is not democratic and open? Running from persecution...

    Cohen may cooperate with Prosecutor

    So far the story is a "I hear that ..." kind of story. It may be true and it may not be true. Time will tell, as it so often does, if his intention is to testify against Donald Trump or not.

    You are right brother psalms 91, it is abhorrent and worse to do that to children.

    It's abhorrent.

    It is good to see a Christian response. Thanks Tigger. I do not know if David Brooks is a Christian, maybe he is, maybe he isn't but he can see an immoral practise as well as any Christian in this case, better than some.

    It's abhorrent.

    David Brooks says that the policy of separating children from their parents if the parents either entered the USA without a valid visa or applied for refuge after entering the USA is abhorrent.

    Why isn’t the Holy Spirit mentioned much?

    When I joined the Catholic Church one of the things that was especially noticeable to me was the natural and easy as well as reverent invocation of the Holy Spirit when events that might seem ordinary but were in fact quite remarkable happened. I had been an atheist for a number of years after...

    Justification - Part 2

    Brother MennoSota, did you read the passages from the Gospel according to saint Mark that I mentioned before? Mark 4:21 Jesus also said to them, “When the light comes, is it put under a basket or a bed? Surely it is put on a lamp stand. 22 Whatever is hidden will be disclosed, and whatever is...

    Justification - Part 2

    Brother MennoSota, did you check the other passages I cited? It is worth while checking them too. Luke 19:12; Mark 4:25; 13:34 Luke 19:11 Jesus was now near Jerusalem, and the people with him thought that God’s reign was about to appear. So as they were listening to him, Jesus went on to tell...

    Justification - Part 2

    Brother MennoSota, you've said what you think the story isn't about but I am wondering what you think it is about. The parable of the talents (Luke 19:12; Mark 4:25; 13:34) Matthew 25:14 Imagine someone who, before going abroad, summoned his servants to entrust his property to them. 15 He...

    Justification - Part 2

    Brother MennoSota, let me tell you a story. The parable of the talents (Luke 19:12; Mark 4:25; 13:34) Matthew 25:14 Imagine someone who, before going abroad, summoned his servants to entrust his property to them. 15 He gave five talents of silver to one servant, two talents to another servant...

    Justification - Part 2

    Brother MennoSota wrote "Anything we do will fall utterly short. God will never look at us and declare that our actions are good, meaning holy. Our actions are not holy. They can never be holy. They can only be corrupt attempts. We fall short." Is that "never" part really what you mean? As in...

    Justification - Part 2

    I am wondering how people manage to fit in the "God alone" model of Justification. It is not that I cannot conceive of how such may be true but I am wondering how you explain it, brother MennoSota?
