Welcome to CC, Frank! Several years ago, I was pondering marrying a woman with a young daughter, and took a course through Focus on the Family on making blended families work. If you search "blended family" on their web site, you'll find a plethora of relevant articles and resources...

You have misinterpreted Ephesians 4:5. Here it is in context... There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. This does not say that the...

No, it doesn’t. Don’t confuse affirmative statements with restrictions. Where something is precluded, the Bible uses phrases like, “Thou shalt not…” or “Don’t…”.

And? Does that entitle any of us to slander all worship leaders with the same brush? Every song needs to be assessed on its own merit. If the artist is ignorant as to the gross errors of Catholicism, but that ignorance is not reflected in their lyrics, what is the issue? Many (if not most)...

Then either you have the wrong book, or don't adequately know the right one. I'd encourage you to do some homework on the different forms of expression of worship found in Scripture. Dancing, waving, loud music, and 'singing a new song' are all there. If you want to sing only hymns, that's fine...

Golf clap. Then you should know better.

Lemme guess... neither of you is a musician who serves in their local church. Neither of you has ever actually spoken with a song/worship/music leader about their biblical knowledge or motivations. In other words, you don't have a hot clue, but are happy to toss around generalizations and...

Nothing, huh? Different god, I guess. smh...

Take church to her. Be the church in her world. Go and read, pray, and worship with her... even 20 minutes a week, over coffee. If she can't find 20 minutes with her sibling, then put her in God's hands and just pray for her.

Y'all need to take a good look through the Old Testament on this matter. 1 Chronicles 15:22 Kenaniah the head Levite was in charge of the singing; that was his responsibility because he was skillful at it. While there is no "title" of worship leader in Scripture, there most certainly is a...

While it's true that Job did not curse God, Satan did nevertheless destroy Job's family, health, and belongings. Do you think these matters are completely inconsequential? Satan was not defeated in Job's case. As for your closing question, you'll start getting some sense around here as soon as...

He's already blocked me. I can't imagine a more counter-productive approach when one is trying to learn. I conclude that he isn't here to learn at all. Just don't get frustrated... it's not your fight. ;)

Hey... I resemble that remarque!

It's 100% of the cow. It's like products that proudly state, "Made with real cheese". Yeah... it's made with real cheese, meaning somewhere, there was real cheese in the factory when they made it.

This interpretation is precluded by Jesus' own words, "SOME of you will not taste death before..." All the disciples were still alive at the time of the transfiguration.

Why must it be one or the other? Can’t one event have caused one set of consequences, and the other caused a different set?

No, he didn’t. What he said is that the prophecy recorded in Scripture did not originate with private interpretation.

Saturated fats (like real butter) are even more effective for satiety. 😎

Jesus is indeed telling the disciples that He would return within their lifetimes, which He did, just not in the way that many people today think He was “supposed” to. He returned in power in 70 AD, ended Levitical Judaism with the destruction of the Temple, and allowed the Jews who rejected...
