    Paris Christians arrested for protesting Anti-Christian attacks.

    He has been on ignore but I was curious às to what @Eli1 was saying in context. So I looked. My bad. I hate politics and especially politicians....including Republicans as well as Democrats and independents. The infighting will destroy a very old constitution. "People" in the phrase...

    Paris Christians arrested for protesting Anti-Christian attacks.

    I bypassed the ignore to address this. CHRISTIANS DO NOT CONDEMN! That is God's job. Christians warn others of their impending disaster. And considering that America is a Nation built by Christians for Christians....the hedonists have the hutzpa to tell the inhabitants how wrong they are...

    Paris Christians arrested for protesting Anti-Christian attacks.

    Just as a reminder.... He didn't come here to learn or be a part of us.... He came to talk us out of our beliefs...as if they were wrong and destructive.

    Question about Communion

    And you might.... But we also have to remember that being a Christian is more than specific food and drink....because food and drink are earthly things. These are mere symbols of the reality. Not the reality itself. Those on the outside who only see the food or the drink might be hungry or...

    Paris Christians arrested for protesting Anti-Christian attacks.

    And you expect me to view you as a reasonable person when you keep unreasonably accusing me of participating in something I hate? Just accuse me of being a Satan worshipper and be done with it... However you are highly politically motivated....that's completely on you. There's a reason I'm...

    Paris Christians arrested for protesting Anti-Christian attacks.

    I'm NOT MAGA....that's kinda insulting to me IMHO. I am A-Political....always have been. I don't like politics because of all the disparaging garbage that gets thrown around. I'm not much of a fan of Christian Political correctness either. Look, you wanna debate someone that doesn't...

    Paris Christians arrested for protesting Anti-Christian attacks.

    Sure, many of those who entered the Senate building should not have and have been incarcerated for it (as they should) but they have arrested plenty of others they claim incited the people who several of which were not even in Washington DC that day. Just saying.... The voting irregularities...

    Paris Christians arrested for protesting Anti-Christian attacks.

    Governments around the world lately are getting bolder and bolder about people voicing their opinion about their representative Governments not valuing the same things their citizens value. Australia was quick to jail people going out and just fishing during quarantines... The USA jailed...

    Question about Communion

    Communion is an ordinance instituted by Jesus while eating the Seder meal of Passover week. Meaning it constituted of fresh matza and the "love" cup of wine of the 4 cups used for this ceremonial meal. The line of the cup is most telling....it's the line from an engagement party a groom...

    Hello I'm Mark, an American expatriate living in South Africa.

    Ya know? The Messianic Jews of South Africa have translated one of my favorite Bible translations I use all the time. It gets me away from the tired American perspective I hear all the time which is kinda boring. This translation was once known as ISR now it has a new name and the date is...

    How should Christians view the Ukraine/Russia situation?

    Well, no matter what it creates a dilemma for Russia....not just a problem but a true dilemma. And no matter the outcome Ukraine has won this round. The troops available to push Ukraine out of Russia are extremely green and not well equipped. Or completely untrained for this and again not...

    How should Christians view the Ukraine/Russia situation?

    There's this false notion that a nation wins in a war. Nobody wins a war....one side just loses less...maybe. War is extremely expensive. A tank $5 million is destroyed by shooting $100,000 rockets at it. That's equivalent to a mansion in NY City being destroyed by throwing brand new...

    How should Christians view the Ukraine/Russia situation?

    Some of this "incompetence" is from bad advice. Ukraine, left to its own devices, will wage a highly effective guerilla warfare against Russia. And that's what you do in asymmetrical warfare. (Small force defending against larger invading force) Somehow Ukraine believed US advisors telling...

    How should Christians view the Ukraine/Russia situation?

    Russia and Ukraine both conscript its people....in the USA its called "the Draft" and they have used it as well. Governments conscript its own people to fight wars they started. Fact of life whether you and I like it or not. The militaries prefer volunteers....but during wars that becomes...

    How should Christians view the Ukraine/Russia situation?

    Ya know.... Considering that EVERY Ukranian-American disagrees with you vehemently(and many Russians)....maybe you should take that as a clue that you are mistaken and have been using incorrect sources for your information.

    How should Christians view the Ukraine/Russia situation?

    If ONLY it was the USA's fault. Europe has forced the USA into the "World Police" position. (Due to its wealth) . NATO is not an offensive force but defensive pact requiring expenditures by each member country (by percentage of economy) to enforce their own military and be able to...

    How should Christians view the Ukraine/Russia situation?

    Currently in the conflict Putin is having some issues with his moving forward.... His troops have thinned to the point of being surrounded. Ukrainian fighters have slipped through around the Kursk region and scooping up equipment and munitions are attacking from the rear....where the Russians...
