so? "Anno Domini nostri" = the year of our lord usually shortened to AD my high school diploma says anno domini on it too, but that doesn't make it founded on Christianity.

@shittim but you believe Christianity = american nationalism and that equals devotion to dt? got a comment to make? or do i just have to infer from the sour emojis you post?

after the RCC gained enough worldly power in europe to seriously challenge kings, it was never the kings who were considered infallible - - if they ever were thought so in europe at all! - - but something pope's declared about themselves, solely. the presumption was that the RCC had taken the...

this is fundamentally opposed to the Biblical model. nowhere in scripture do we see people deciding for themselves what is right and wrong, what should be law and what should not be, as something good. in the Biblical model there are eternal principles coming from God that govern what is...

i can't agree to that statement the way it is written. it's quite wrong to say for example that in India or China no one had any such thing as a code of ethical conduct or a general socially accepted morality before Christianity was introduced. the Bible even says the same - - Romans 2:14-15...

well, i certainly agree in the sense that Biblical ethics and morality greatly influenced our laws, and that there was a general assumption that a person in government would generally act with the kind of ethos and morality implicit in Christianity - - which we are unfortunately finding out was...

not sure what @shittim is trying to express by marking 'disagree' on a post that doesn't consist of anything but questions.. except probably just general personal animosity? perhaps you'd be good enough to comment.

what do you mean by 'political correctness'? that's a broad term which as i understand it, encompasses a general principle of choosing one's words in such a way not to be needlessly offensive. is it really never a good idea to avoid unnecessary offense? isn't that actually a Biblical principle...

how about for example, why does it matter if this country was founded by Christians? what does it prove or disprove, if Christian principles, ethics and/or values are fundamental or not fundamental to the way the government of this country was organized? what does it show, that the founding...

his spear weighed something like 10-12x a normal spear. we are not talking about someone a couple inches taller than the average soldier. Saul has been trained to be a warrior and a king his entire life, and is probably himself 6'6" - - a head taller than every other Israelite, not just the...

has anyone brought up RH- blood yet?

isn't it the electric lights and cell phones? we should eat more raw meat and fungus

i mean obviously you don't think your nuts. but any objective observer... Christianity is about Jesus, not d. trump, who is essentially an antichrist. y'all are whack.

amen, and it is because Solomon was not without God, that he was able by 'experiment' find out the heart of things, by wisdom. we are told also, 'test' every spirit, and that those who were noble 'searched' out the scripture, to see if what they heard was true. i don't want to allow the...

some call this 'beating a dead horse' but if Christ is so patient with me, should i not also be so patient with others?

you're not wrong. before i started spending a lot of time in Bible discussion forums like this, i had a naive idea that other believers were in general reasonable, and that persuasive argument could convince them of the truth i.e. that we as Christians were different than ordinary people but i...

wow you guys are nuts.

but Solomon was not without God's word...

we don't throw away scripture entirely just because you found a different translation. this difference in fact shows that it was understood 'sons of God' is equivalent to angels.

Genesis 6:4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore [children] to them. Those [were] the mighty men who [were] of old, men of renown. why does it say daughters of men, as though purposefully and...
