Amen! But that more would catch fire. Well worth the time to watch and consider.

While considering your original post I missed something very important. Jesus recognized that the two thieves were very different. One thief hurled insults at him; he blasphemed. Blasphemy is an unforgiveable sin. The other thief repented and received forgiveness from the Lord. Now the...

Every once in a while there is a CC thread that fulfills the promise we all came here looking for. This is one.

Great point! I had never considered the "two thieves" punishment before. I fully agree with your conclusion. By Torah, they did not deserve execution. Under Roman Law they probably did. Either way, they were both sinners in God's eyes. One confessed his sins and sought reconciliation, one...

In the Bible, the requirement for confession is to God. That said, co-confession to a man is not forbidden and should occur in situations where accountability is the issue. This happened many times in the Bible, for example David's confession to Nathan. That said, great care must be taken...

Christians need to be careful what they pray for. There may be a revival just beginning that will eventually lead to the rejection of the Constantinian Church and many mainline Christian practices. Just one small indication, I have noticed that more and more believers are rejecting "Easter"...

I have been concerned for several years about the relationship between the American people and their pets. Be patient, I'll try to explain. There can be little question that focus, attention, and spending on our pets has increased exponentially during the past several decades. Very few...

Simple solution, stop using debit cards; they're just not worth it.

Welcome to CC, RM. There are lots of interesting places to go and explore here. I encourage you to find an interesting forum and jump into the conversation. The more you share, the more people can share with you and then the real magic can begin. Enjoy yourself here, learn and have fun.

I share your concerns. If "The Trinity" is ment to be three manifestations of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I can get along with that. (In my study, there are more than three manifestations but I'm not hung up on that issue). I cannot find in all my reading that there are only three...

I have found it fascinating; every ancient archaeological discovery ever made supports the biblical narrative. There are always early nay-sayers to new discoveries but their objections never hold up to scrutiny.

Wow, lots of "stuff" here. I have a comment or two on your very first question. God indeed wanted to show himself to all people and he did! The Bible tells us: "...since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being...

Well done. I really enjoyed your work. "Yet even me, this ship-at-sea, may yet remake the wind" is beautiful and profound!

I appreciate that you don't want answers that tell you to accept everything "On Faith". I get it. Eventually all things come down to faith, but this does not mean you must accept everything without reason. Questions of age come down to a definition of time. Yet we know "scientifically"...

The film was originally in Aramaic, I wasn't aware there are English versions. Don't let the language scare you, you will not even be aware of the language once it begins.
