    BLM does not make sense

    I can help you make sense of Black Lives Matter. See, the first word:. Black. Refers to a race of people. These are people of a dark skin color. Second word:. Lives. Scripture says, "Thou shalt not murder.". It does not distinguish based upon race. Third word:. Matter. We as...

    How Should Christians Vote?

    The irony in all this:. those same people who accuse others of supporting Marxism are the ones who love Russia now. And by the way:. a key tenet of Marxism is workers' rights. Sorry to hear that you oppose that.

    How Should Christians Vote?

    Christians are not weak and timid when facing "Christian" hypocrites who insist on backing a New York mob boss and his third porn star wife, either. Talk about straining a gnat and swallowing a camel. Usually when someone self-proclaims themselves fundamental, that means fundamentally the...

    Would it be safer to die early in Lord ?

    I lean toward OSAS. That being said, I think it is a good question to ask, "Why are we still here even after we are saved?". It's a time of tribulation that God meant for us. So when we consider the "Count it all joy, brothers..." versenand you're going through hard times, think about this...

    Why doesn't Turkey observe Thanksgiving? My random thought of the day.

    Election Predictions based on mathematics, data, and current events.

    New stat that came out today:. 93% of Belarusians want nothing to do with Russia. You can read the international news practically anywhere and read about their present pro-democracy protests. Why "pro-democracy", when they just elected their President? Because Lukashenko--the guy they just...

    President Trump's Position on Gay Marriage

    Trump totally supports gay marriage. I heard him comment on that on The Apprentice, before he had a legitimate shot politically, and before he decided to be the darling of the "Christian" right. Probably around 2010. I wish I had the actual clips (not that it matters-- nothing on this forum...

    How Should Christians Vote?

    Yep, I do. On Canada. The crush is not mutual.

    How Should Christians Vote?

    By voting for the Donald Trump Party, as the RNC just described themselves, then by the OP's own logic, how can any Christian vote the Donald Trump Party? In so doing, you convey your support for porn, adultery, sexual assault, treason, extortion, cursing, racism, hatred, leaving the poor high...

    New Biblical manuscript evidence since 2000?

    How about this? Did you know that Emmaus is the same town where David first kept the Ark of the Covenant, before he moved it? Because only in 2019 did we find out. https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2019/december/biblical-archaeologys-top-10-discoveries-of-2019.html

    New Biblical manuscript evidence since 2000?

    I trust what the forefathers did. We all do, although most without knowing it. I just want to know what it is they did and why. That's actually how I'm starting to view it. Barnabas chapter 5 actually abolishes sacrifices--nowhere in canonical Scripture do I ever see sacrifices...

    Would it be safer to die early in Lord ?

    This applies to babies going to Heaven as well. All the same arguments apply to why don't we just abort ALL babies, then they all go to Heaven before they reach accountability. This is just speculation on my end. But I think God's design is that we must first undergo trial. When we...

    New Biblical manuscript evidence since 2000?

    Right. And Alexandrian type text is considered the most reliable. Is that all the reason you saw that Jerome excluded it? I don't believe Jerome had access to any precursor to the Codex Sinaiticus at the time of the Vulgate. He might have had access to the Vaticanus (which did not have...

    New Biblical manuscript evidence since 2000?

    My understanding is the majority opinion is that it was written by a different Barnabas. Hippolytus mentioned two Barnabas' in his list of original disciples. Nonetheless, I'm not seeing very heretical teachings in the text, I'm not seeing any Gnosticism, it was written around the same time...

    New Biblical manuscript evidence since 2000?

    Wayne Grudem has 2 interesting works dated 2005 and 2012. I was hoping for more of a treasure trove (there's got to be one out there?). However, when I looked into Wayne Grudem, that pointed me to this professor Jack Collins. Now this guy's fascinating: an MIT postgrad in Computer...

    New Biblical manuscript evidence since 2000?

    Hi, I have a very specific question; worth a shot to try here: most of my research into the oldest Biblical manuscripts derives from sources pre-dating Y2K. Generally speaking, when researching the Bible, older is better; but that definitely is not always the case. Our translations of the...

    Coin Shortage- on the road to a cashless society

    So...I'm reading up on this, and it sounds like the U.S. has a coin shortage, "caused by Covid", but they have no shortage of paper money. No sirree. Have you guys checked Fort Knox lately, to make sure you have the gold reserve you claim to have? Or maybe "the Democrats hid it"?

    Why do Catholics receive so much hate???

    First off, it's not a lie. You left the door open for interpretation. Now, if you wish to clarify, you have every right to do that. That being said: you're mixing one thing that is racist with one thing that is not. Concerning yourself with Christ is not racist. But concerning yourself...

    Coin Shortage- on the road to a cashless society

    Canada phased out the penny. and we are doing just fine. One of those things that happens when your government does things that actually make sense.
