    TIMBER!

    We don't believe in killing an evergreen for Christ mass. We buy a healthy ball root evergreen instead. Keep it watered in a special tub that keeps it till late spring in the house. And then we plant it in our yard on Easter. I now live in an evergreen forest. Can't see the neighbors for the...

    Understanding God’s election

    4.The Lord has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble. Proverbs 16 8.And “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. 1 Peter 2

    Understanding God’s election

    I think if you like being immune to your own invented phraseology that's your business. The idea that man has control over their choice to accept the Gospel and Salvation diminishes the Biblical quality of God's Sovereignty. That prescient view repeals the scriptures that define the Election...

    You are the eighth wonder of the world? Angkor Wat is that. You are like many others in the world. Dead in anger. God is not afraid.

    Muslims forbid Christians from celebrating Christmas (Bogor, Indonesia)

    I see this a bit like the supposed prohibition against prayer in America's public schools. It is impossible to stop. The Christian does not require a public spectacle to celebrate the traditional birth date of Jesus so to celebrate his birth into this world. The Christian student does not...

    Christmas

    Agreed. The ancient people celebrated winter solstice. That date is December 21st. There's really no relationship to Christmas in that the rest afforded shorter days in winter due to Earth's maximum tilt away from the created sun of God is not at all the same thing as the birth of the Son of...

    1John 1:9 Let's talk about it..

    Consider Isaiah 43 25. “I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. " And then as regards our redemption from our sins and our rebirth as a new creation in Christ. Hebrews 8 12. "For I will be merciful toward their...

    Understanding God’s election

    I say this sincerely having read your vitriol in this thread alone and knowing you identify as Christian while publishing the example of what that means from within you as you write in defense and assurance of your understanding of God's words. I pray and know in full assurance my Lord shall...
