    VP Pence announced just hours ago he's running for president

    I'm from Indiana and was shocked when Trump chose him for VP. He was a turn-coat then and is still one now. Mike P will do anything to get himself elected. He endangered the public safety of every Hoosier to get himself in the Governors chair by making back-room deals for votes against the...

    Savage God

    I too have struggled with that a little. Sometimes it seems like the consequences don't match the crime. One that I struggled with lately was the incineration death of the two sons of Aaron for presenting incense to the lord at the tabernacle entrance. Only when I came to realized the two...

    Savage God

    One of the issues skeptics raise about Christianity involves the perceived savagery and violence of the First Testament. How can this be from a god of love and kindness? Part of this confusion rests on a lack of understanding of the political and cultural environment of that time. It is...

    Christ kept the Law of Moses, so....

    Just a little clarification... I believe "The Law" Jesus spoke about were the laws God gave visually, audibly and physically to all his people gathered below him. In thunder, earthquake and lightning he gave 10 laws that are inviolate. This must be the basis for all Christian faith. Through...

    (POLL) What Is Christmas?

    My all-time absolute favorite. I cannot listen to that carol without my eyes beginning to glisten. Thanks for posting,

    (POLL) What Is Christmas?

    Your post reminded me of the long ago time when I got to participate in a Christmas presentation of Handel's Messiah with full orchestra and large choir. The reaction of the audience is a precious memory I still carry. That event changed me in some small way.

    Restore to Faith Project

    I hope neither of us identified them as enemies if we did it was unintentional. I don't believe we can help anyone overcome unbelief without first understanding the cause. Neither were we critical of the Clergy Project for their support of fallen pastors, they serve a legitimate function...

    Restore to Faith Project

    I have read several of the "Testimonies" posted on the Clergy Project site. My first observation is that most of the non-believing clergy came from early strict fundamentalist/evangelical backgrounds against which they eventually rebelled. I also observed that many of them had difficulties...

    Restore to Faith Project

    Those who are genuinely interested will take the time to investigate the facts. (Even though there may only be a few). The uninterested will not read the testimonies. IMHO as they say!

    Restore to Faith Project

    I admire your courage for bringing up this issue. First and most important we are required to love these people and assist them in their struggles. From my cursory reading on the Clergy Project they provide support for former pastors who wish to "transition" away from the faith. I wonder...

    The "Law"

    “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” Matt: 5:17 (KJV)

    Numbers 19

    I have read Numbers Ch. 19 several times but managed to miss the point every time. I focused on the necessity for a red heifer sacrifice to establish the Third Temple and then usher-in the end times prophecies. I totally missed the clearly messianic message of the red heifer and the true...

    I really enjoy this work, I think it is one of your best. Dark at first, yes but true throughout.

    A warm hello to you all!

    From your testimony: "No humanity. No tenderness, no love. Now, I know that it's because they have not felt love, ever. I feel for them." When your soul aches for those who do not understand, you are gaining wisdom. You have started a most exciting and thrilling journey, one beyond compare and...

    John 1:17

    You are correct, God does not want truth to be difficult to find. Thankfully, He meets us where we are. But since beginning my walk with God I have been challenged to go deeper and deeper into my faith. With study, sometimes very difficult; I find deeper and deeper connections in His Word ...

    John 1:17

    I truly appreciate all the feedback; I learn something from each of them. The problem I see with John 1:17 is this; the verse appears to be used to divide and build a fence between God the Father and God the Son. The Living Bible Translation (TLB) quoted before, designed to be easily understood...

    John 1:17

    So, you see no differences between the three versions I quoted? To me they have three very different meanings. One is a stated fact, one contains an opinion and one is false.
