The Bible reveals that God’s main concern is inner moral character, but weird outward appearance may manifest inward mental illness.

Me three!

Yes, of nonmeritorious receiving God’s grace by faith, not of earning it by virtue of our own efforts.

Yes, fascism in the USA can be viewed as beginning with President Wilson. Unfortunately the communists were able to end Senator McCarthy’s campaign in the 1950s when it needed to change the focus from Hollywood to Academia.

Well, it's a good thing you have not seen the angels play golf or football! I think secular music that does not advocate sin is acceptable as recreation. BTW, I meant the secular Song of Songs instead of Ecclesiastes. Oops! Many secular love songs are in the same vein as S of S.

I think JN 16:13, "When he, the Spirit of Truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth", indicates that the Holy Spirit is conveyed by God's Word and manifested by God's love (JN 13:35). And JN 14:15-20, especially v. 17, "...he lives with you and will be in you..." along with EPH...

This view denies God's justice as well as love and human free will, which makes Him responsible for sin by not changing the hearts of most people. You would do well to ponder DT 30:19 until it sinks in: "...I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that...

Okay, so you are not against all secular recreation, but why disallow music rather than golf or football?

Ditto, although ego seems akin to being and essence not much different from emporium in terms of philosophical categories attempting to explain biblical concepts.

I agree for the most part but not sure if “ordained” means blessed. God allows evil but does not desire people to sin. Lawfare refers to governmental tyranny like the Dems are doing thanks to George Soros and other Globalists/Fascists.

Do you also avoid Ecclesiastes and all other forms of recreation? Does one have to devote every moment to avoiding non Christian activities? Does life need to be monastic? Not many have that gift!

Yes, that understanding is what I think Scripture in the vein of 1TM2:3-4 teaches about God’s righteousness.

Maybe but equity is assigning or requiring the same outcome or result whereas fairness is providing equal opportunity to seek God, but some may choose to serve Satan.

Well I try and am glad your interpretation agrees.

Methinks you mistake equity for fairness.

You do well to quote from Ephesians, which is my favorite of Paul's epistles, but don't pass over 4:11-15, which answers your question about how we learn God's thoughts on various issues: God gave some to be apostles... and some to be pastor and teachers to prepare God's people for works of...

God wills/wants/desires for everyone to be saved by freely seeking/wanting/desiring to satisfy His requirement for salvation, but He allows souls to reject His grace and reap the just consequence. God does deal with everyone fairly as illustrated by the parable of the talents. I hope no one...

Preventing the country God has blessed us with from becoming communist is exactly what maga is trying to prevent so I hope you will help us sinners do that by voting for the less good than you desire.

The need is for us to cooperate with Jesus’ prayer for God’s will to be done on earth including voting for government that rewards good or allows Christians to share the gospel and how we should live.

I take it you believe that God saves all, since He loves everyone. When Jesus preached repentance He was wasting His breath?
