But they didn't all Start Off in large buildings, which was my point. And you think it's good that the leaders have zero accountability for what they teach? Like the home church I spoke about, that you avoided responding to? I did speak about them, but did it do any good? Did anyone step in...

Many Christians that get tattoos do so as an expression of their faith, or to utilize it as a conversation opener to share their faith with someone. Or, as said before, for personal reminders. A good example of this is Brian Head Welch of Korn. He had scriptures tattooed on him that helped him...

Anyone. They are free to teach anything they choose and there's no one to correct them or out them. That's why so many cults start as home churches. No one is paying attention to what they preach until they become big enough to be noticed, and by then it's too late. I did, once, go to a home...

Your premise starts off with a few false ideas. Fighters (boxers and mma) are athletes that train their minds and bodies. They study opponents other fighters to understand that fighters strengths and weaknesses. And, if need be, adapt their training as needed. I believe this can be more obvious...

Well a lot of people have home churches, so that is happening. But it's also important to consider changes that have occurred since then. Population growth, travel distances, etc... People mostly don't live in small villages or towns where everything is in walking distance and they can walk...

It really seems to me that the biggest mistake was not working out all the details before doing a single thing. Of course it's too late to change that but he can still learn from it. Being a pastor should not make someone an exception to this. I find it silly to think the pastor may come...

I see the reason to think that, but it's not true. That's akin to an alcoholic saying he's not an alcoholic he just likes being drunk. It's the alcohol that causes the drunkenness. And it's the porn that causes the pleasure. If it weren't true you wouldn't turn to it in those moments, but you...

Some get them impulsively or when drunk, or on a dare, or to be funny. Those people tend to regret them later in life. Others take their time choosing what they want, perhaps sit on the idea for a while. And for them it has meaning. It may be to honor a dead friend or relative, express a...

Well there was also the part explaining Leviticus, which I meant to be more of the focus. He has older videos on the same subject, perhaps those are more scripturally oriented. He's covered the topic, I think, 4 times in 10 years.

Let's define this idea of negativity within in biblical terms. Sin. Negativity is not a sin. But the negativity within would best be described as sin. And as the bible states, you can't will yourself away from sin or block it out to not effect you. Among those that practice meditation in the...

I was fine with the name when I changed. Just got a little bored of it. And was going through a lot at the time.

I have zero problems with them. I have two small ones and would love to get more if I could. Skip to a 1:30.

Well Metallica is now and has always been classified as metal. And one of the most influential metal bands ever. The Black album had some good songs on it. Though not a fan of Enter Sandman. Could be because I grew up more familiar with their older music. Their thrash days. When they hopped...

Not a big fan of most rock. Less of a fan of pop, especially current. Been a metal head for 30 years now. Though alt metal is not one I'm big into. I have 1000s of metal albums. But I like other stuff as well. I sometimes go through phases were I get really into other styles I like. Other stuff...

I was simply suggesting reasons that could be part of the problem. Didn't say they were the only reasons.

This is actually my old account. I think it was about 2018 when I changed. This post is from 2015. The name was largely picked to be funny. Seemed out of place on a Christian site and that have me a chuckle. I think I chose the word ugly because it was a song title to a song I enjoyed.

That was essentially my point. Leftists aren't interested in talking. They yell and scream and attack. And try to force their beliefs on everyone. So why bother butting your head against a brick wall? The only one that gets hurt when you do that, is you. The wall doesn't get affected or care...

The site as a whole has slowed down. Been slowing down for years. Around 2013 the site seemed to peak and since then it's been slowly declining. One factor seems to be how vicious some people are. I've seen many people quit the site after a short time due to this. It used to be primarily in the...

This reminds me of when I was a teen and a Christian record label came out called 5 Minute Walk records. Seemed on odd name to me until I finally learned the meaning. The idea was to daily take at least 5 mins to pray or read your Bible. They picked 5 mins as a good place to start, though of...
