    Shroud of Turin—real or fake, and why?

    My main objection is that it does not match scripture. Isaiah says that the face of Jesus was disfigured more than any man. I had a friend who went through the windscreen of his car. I was shocked at his appearance. Jesus was worse than that. The shroud does not reflect that.

    Is it wrong?

    Even if we are the best driver ever (I am not) we can't control what other drivers do. Our God can and does overrule. I'm living proof of that!

    when coffee becomes sin.

    Fair enough. I switched from coffee to tea overnight. I did not know at the time, but my wife prayed for me as she thought I was drinking way too much. I also know someone who is 94 who still drinks coffee.

    God blesses us so that we can bless others. I'm happy to help if I can.

    Not too serious........

    So why do we not slide off? God condemns slander, by the way. And denying the moon landings is calling a whole bunch of born again Christians liars.

    Is it wrong?

    We should pray for protection. I used to be in sales on the road with a company car. There were times when I wondered if there was an invisible target on my car I had so many accidents. Very few were my fault. When I learned to pray for protection, the accidents stopped.

    How to be the one Jesus say I am...

    I know the problem. I wrestled with it for decades. One day God spoke to me and said, "What is your righteousness?" I thought about it and said, "The best I can do" Then I was reminded of what God calls our righteousness: "Filthy rags". So the best I can do is utterly unacceptable to God. This...

    Should Christians be allowed to own a gun legally?

    I'm not a pacifist. I'm ex military. I'm all for Israel and Ukraine defending themselves. However, I'm against zero limitations on weapons that civilians can own. I won't go over it again, it's pointless. When I read that Jesus used an M16 to protect the disciples from the Jews who harassed...

    Should Christians be allowed to own a gun legally?

    Only close up. Even a spear or javelin could be more dangerous than a sword. A spear was also much more useful against cavalry. Roman tactics included throwing javelins at the enemy troops then charging in behind the attack. It's much better to be harming your enemy while out of range of their...

    Should Christians be allowed to own a gun legally?

    That's not the point. 500 yards would be too much for most no matter what round they were using.

    1 Corinthians 7:25-40. What does it mean??

    "Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is." There are tremendous advantages to being married, but in certain circumstances, it's not so good. Intense persecution meant that the life expectancy of a Christian was pretty short in the time Paul spoke of...

    How to be the one Jesus say I am...

    Christianity is not a new set of rules or even a moral code to live by. It is a new life. And Jesus is the life of the born again Christian. If you have a dog, you know that dogs behave in certain ways just because they are dogs. This is because it has the life, or nature, of a dog. Cats have...

    Should Christians be allowed to own a gun legally?

    Sure. Except America has vastly more gun deaths for the size of the population than Australia, where guns are legal but strictly controlled. The rules here are sensible, and so our communities are safer. Lethal range means nothing? In that case, why permit weapons that have that kind of range...

    Christian antisemitism

    I'm English. I was born 6 years after the end of WW2. Much of Britain was still suffering from the destruction caused by the war. The British sold out Israel to pander to Arab interests, even to the point of restricting immigration to Israel. Britain was once great. It's pretty pathetic now. The...

    Should Christians be allowed to own a gun legally?

    Tell that to the families of the dead. A lethal range of 500 yards is a woman's round? Do tell.

    Should Christians be allowed to own a gun legally?

    Says you. Vehicles don't crash by themselves either. No one gives the keys of a semi to a novice driver.
