I think there are plenty of examples from the US, such as your story. What a nightmare! It's disgusting that they knew what they were doing was wrong, but like the nurse you dealt with, they did it anyway. Turns the stomach and I can't imagine the anxiety you must have gone through just trying...

To be honest, I suspect some/most are rewarded or strongly influenced [i.e. threatened with career] to NOT connect the dots. Never have I seen doctors and nurses en masse and across the globe suddenly become unable, incapable, and unwilling to put the obvious two and two together, or even...

There's a whole lot of false assumptions and unfounded accusations in your post - Keeping up with current events and learning isn't sinful. It's through current events that we see prophecy fulfilled and know the signs of the times. God tells us to watch, to question, and to be alert. God...

I get what you're saying, but flip-side - In 2020, we were told covid originated from bats, not a lab. We were forced to abandon our loved ones in hospitals, banned from attending funerals and church, and forbidden in many cases from going to parks and beaches, or traveling more than a mile or...

For me, the site is consistently down more than it's up. Cloudflare showed it as host error.

It has indeed been nothing more than political theater and absurd hypocrisy on full display. The problem is when they 'pretend rage' against every single thing this administration does, it's just pointless irrelevant noise. Even before the election people were seeing through the nonsense. The...

Can eschatology beliefs condemn believers? No. The Bible is clear we're saved through God-given faith in Christ, not eschatology. Can eschatology views have an affect on salvation down the road? Possibly. What happens when a believer is facing the ultimate persecution and pre-trib turns out to...

Serious question: If an OT judge is the same as a priest, prophet, and pastor, then why didn't God just call them all judges? If you're not willing to accept God has established different roles with different responsibilities, there's really nothing more I can bring to the table. Thanks and...

There are so many passages in the Bible addressing this issue and there's nothing confusing about them. Trying to make one passage fit a premise of 'sexual persuasion' in order to justify women having authority within church does not work. It also doesn't erase or explain away everything else...


 Hi Blain, and thanks for your response! 
 I'm seeing a confusion of roles which seems to be clouding the issue here. The pattern from Old to New Testaments is consistently the same: Men have authority when it comes to leading within the church. 
Questions to help reconcile these issues would...

Hello and thank you for the welcome! The Bible doesn't state sexual persuasion as the reason for women not exercising authority over men, though. It's a false premise to build upon since the Bible already clearly states the order of creation is the reason for the hierarchy - 1 Tim 2:11 Let a...


 Great questions, and I've seen some excellent Biblical answers here. As a woman myself, I don't see the Bible suggesting women are subhuman in the church. As you've pointed out, we are absolutely equal in salvation and are disciples who witness and teach just like anyone else outside the...

Dude! I saw your intro post here - so good to see you! I left Vigilant Citizen Forums shortly after Oct 7 2023 when it became so overwhelmingly toxic and frankly disgusting. VC Forums were shut down months ago - don't know why. Anyway, I certainly hope we cross paths here.

Not new to forums but new here. I look forward to discussing the Bible with everyone!
