You have not answered my question.

I get your point about money. For 30 years I was involved in a small home based fellowship. The pastor was a contractor who did very well. The group was small, so we met in homes. There was no need for a massive budget. The pastor became my mentor. When I first met him, he came to my home and...

Paul did not say, "The church". That's your wrong interpretation. God does not save the "church". He saves individuals that become the church. We are living stones, not an amorphous mass. When we are judged, it will be as individuals, not as "the church". Your argument is specious and has no...

Your premises are wrong. God did not create a weak unmanly Adam and an immature and selfish woman. Adam and Eve were created good. Adam had the power to name thousands of animals and birds. I struggle to find usernames and passwords and remember them. I have trouble remembering the names of...

Too many to count. I started a Bible School. We only intended it to run for two years, but I expected a much better response. The story of how we ended up leasing the office space is a series of miracles. It was a prime location and the lease cost was substantial. It cost me a lot to set up to...

What exactly are you getting at? Those who are born again are the elect. The elect are chosen according to God's foreknowledge. God's foreknowledge includes the sacrifice of His Son. If Jesus had not died and rose again, there would be no elect. "And all who dwell on the earth will worship the...

As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse! Galatians 1:9. Islam preaches another gospel. I feel sorry for Muslims. No assurance of forgiveness, no assurance of salvation, no new life, only dead...

Interesting. The true Word of God said to bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ (to love one another as Jesus loves us) Galatians 6:2.

Time is God's creation. He dwells outside of time. He can stop time if He so chooses. Since that is so, He knows the end from the beginning - and everything in between. (Isaiah 46:10). So I absolutely disagree with you. You God is too small.

What is that supposed to mean?

I don't know how you read that into Romans 8:29. We are called individually to be the church, not as the church. "Those" refers to individuals. Many will testify as to God's working in their lives prior to salvation. I'm one. I should not have survived childhood. I suffered whooping cough as a...

It seems to me that God constantly warns people of the consequence of rejecting Him. God warned Israel countless times and eventually Israel was driven from the lands they were supposed to conquer. God has been speaking to the whole world for 2,000 years. In spite of this, even supposedly...

When I was in the military (navy), some of our sailors tried to start WW3. With Canada. How? Calling Canadians half hearted Yanks. Not me, btw. My last fist fight was in 1968. I lost. I was picked on by a Maori. It was quite dark. I told him to smile so I could see him to hit him. That did not...

I've never used AI myself. However, I've been surprised at some of the search results that AI generates. For a start, the English is excellent, grammatically correct and often well structured. It is also often more comprehensible than human produced content. I've found it to be well laid out and...
