    SOLA SCRIPTURA AND SOLA FIDELES

    The Solas came out of the reformation due to the excesses of the Catholic Church. Things like indulgences that were unscriptural etc is what the Solas railed against. While tradition has a role, everything we do must have it's basis in Scripture - ie Scripture is our final authority. Anything...

    The Hostility Between Men & Women

    Actually, you have to think of the Temple when you see verses such as the one you quoted. The dividing wall between Jews and Gentiles was part of the makeup of the Temple itself, and Jesus in his flesh did away with that wall. Now Gentile believers are adopted as sons and there's no distinction...

    What Kind of Husband Do You Want?

    Now that I'm done laughing... I'm a believer in total depravity myself... Helps to refuse to feed that side.

    So There's a Big Plate of Chocolate Chip Cookies in Front of You And...

    My husband doesn't work anymore now, but I'd never sell my food anyway. I cook/bake for the joy of it and the joy it brings to others, and there's something about a price tag that I've always been afraid would ruin the joy it brings. Nope, just making more to compensate was good enough. :)

    So There's a Big Plate of Chocolate Chip Cookies in Front of You And...

    People actually try stuff like that... I always made homemade dinner rolls for the potlucks at my husbands work and made enough for each employee to have two rolls... Yet people were walking entire bags of them out to their cars, so I had to start figuring in some theft so people could still...

    Deuteronomy 22:28–29 Why don't Church singles group encourage singles to get married?

    One on one dating does invite temptation. However, I would think today that dating would actually be easier. When you go out you can go out in groups or with chaperones and when wanting more intimate "get to know you time" (hopes, dreams, embarrassing stuff) you could do that part online...

    How's your day been?

    A nice lazy day, relaxing bath sounds kinda nice doesn't it? Lol.. not in the cards for me today though. After starting some medicine yesterday I can breathe so much better today, it's nice. I'll probably make a tuna casserole, quick and easy... And of course sweep and mop the kitchen. My...

    What Kind of Husband Do You Want?

    I'll help out, though I'm not single my husband and I have only been married 10 years so my single days and finding someone I considered perfect are fresh enough in my mind. I wasn't looking for a spouse. I was okay in my own life, confident and comfortable in my own skin. I didn't "need" a...

    More and more I'm considering Ron DeSantis

    As far as riding Trump's coattails anyone who has even a chance of winning will need Trump's endorsement. Trump will play the role of kingmaker and they are wise enough to recognize that fact. At the same time anyone who is going to win has to keep a certain distance from Trump too... And the...

    More and more I'm considering Ron DeSantis

    DeSantis is a good pick... As a two time Trump voter neither I nor my husband will be voting for him again... He won't get through the primary even if he runs. It'll either be Cruz or DeSantis...

    Abusing Religious Authority or The Narcissist and God

    We all, to whatever degree, believe that our view of what Scripture teaches is the correct view. Some may be right, others potentially deluded, but I don't think tagging people with names like narcissist etc is Christian. We aren't licensed psychologists with an indepth study of the person/...

    Explain your username/prof pic/signature

    My screen name Hazelelponi is a woman mentioned in 1 Chronicle 4:3 in the genealogies. I chose this name for several reasons, firstly being the meaning is "the shadow of God (God's protection) facing, or turned toward" Second, I wanted to identify with Old Testament Israel, and Jews in...

    Can I Be a Christian if I Occasionally Smoke Cigarettes

    While addiction is a possibility, there are benefits to the use of nicotine and caffeine for some people, and not everyone who smokes becomes an addict to the point smoking would become an idol and thus a sin. My son both smokes and uses caffeine which helps with his severe ADHD. He prefers...

    Why Does Society Seem to Think That Cougars... Should Be Shot? (Older Woman and Younger Men.)

    He's beautiful! I used to have a Siamese/Himalayan mix (he was from a breeder who messed up on keeping the two breeds they were raising apart) who was a short hair. And his coloring was perfect mountain lion. Plus, he thought he was a mountain lion too! He'd go out into the woods and sit on a...

    Monkeypox: What Liberal Media is NOT Telling You

    I think with monkey pox there has to be some exchange of bodily fluid, can be anything from sex to drinking out of the same glass, kissing to touching someone's open sore when they have a cut. I do agree though, with the burying of facts that we've seen first hand, hard to think we would see...
