Why would you think we want him back in Indiana?:sick:

My all-time absolute favorite. I cannot listen to that carol without my eyes beginning to glisten. Thanks for posting,

Your post reminded me of the long ago time when I got to participate in a Christmas presentation of Handel's Messiah with full orchestra and large choir. The reaction of the audience is a precious memory I still carry. That event changed me in some small way.

I hope neither of us identified them as enemies if we did it was unintentional. I don't believe we can help anyone overcome unbelief without first understanding the cause. Neither were we critical of the Clergy Project for their support of fallen pastors, they serve a legitimate function...

I have read several of the "Testimonies" posted on the Clergy Project site. My first observation is that most of the non-believing clergy came from early strict fundamentalist/evangelical backgrounds against which they eventually rebelled. I also observed that many of them had difficulties...

Those who are genuinely interested will take the time to investigate the facts. (Even though there may only be a few). The uninterested will not read the testimonies. IMHO as they say!

I admire your courage for bringing up this issue. First and most important we are required to love these people and assist them in their struggles. From my cursory reading on the Clergy Project they provide support for former pastors who wish to "transition" away from the faith. I wonder...

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” Matt: 5:17 (KJV)

I have read Numbers Ch. 19 several times but managed to miss the point every time. I focused on the necessity for a red heifer sacrifice to establish the Third Temple and then usher-in the end times prophecies. I totally missed the clearly messianic message of the red heifer and the true...

I got a chuckle out of that!

I really enjoy this work, I think it is one of your best. Dark at first, yes but true throughout.

From your testimony: "No humanity. No tenderness, no love. Now, I know that it's because they have not felt love, ever. I feel for them." When your soul aches for those who do not understand, you are gaining wisdom. You have started a most exciting and thrilling journey, one beyond compare and...

You are correct, God does not want truth to be difficult to find. Thankfully, He meets us where we are. But since beginning my walk with God I have been challenged to go deeper and deeper into my faith. With study, sometimes very difficult; I find deeper and deeper connections in His Word ...

Hello MichaelR, welcome to CC. Glad you are here.

I truly appreciate all the feedback; I learn something from each of them. The problem I see with John 1:17 is this; the verse appears to be used to divide and build a fence between God the Father and God the Son. The Living Bible Translation (TLB) quoted before, designed to be easily understood...

So, you see no differences between the three versions I quoted? To me they have three very different meanings. One is a stated fact, one contains an opinion and one is false.

There are some interesting translations of one of my favorite Bible Verses, John 1:17 The NIV: For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. The KJV: For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. The TLB: For Moses gave us only the...

The common opinion is that transgenders cannot come from a Christian home. I guess this particular sin is somehow different than all the other sins. While divorce, adultery, lust, excessive drinking or gambling, lying, stealing, blaspheming, all can come such faithful homes, somehow this sin...

Nieces, nephews, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, neighbors...there are lots of people we love in our lives and the question of how we express our faith in love to those people is real.

You are absolutely correct, that is the summary and most of these threads are a waste of time. However; these issues become much sharper when "Christians" have to confront these issues on a personal level. There hasn't been much discussion of showing Yeshua's love to a transgendered loved one...
