I'm all for diversity, equity, but not in lieu of or at the expense of competence and excellence. I raised two wonderful girls and am married to the most amazing woman so I have some understanding about how women are diminished in the job market. We (wife and I) taught our girls to be brave...

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." Some quote this verse without understanding; making the scriptures the...

I recently heard an advertisement sponsored by "The Fellowship of Christians and Jews". Assuming that "Jews" meant "a faith" and not "a nationality", I wondered "What fellowship do Jews and Christians share?" It cannot be that we "worship the same Living God". It was revealed to John, a Jew...

Paul was an apostle. He was not an “apostle of the Lamb”.

Jesus was clear, "On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea." The climate is certainly changing. It's "man-made climate change" (MMCC) that is the geopolitical agenda. Certainly we should be good stewards of what we are given, including the...

Funny you don't count James but Paul does. :rolleyes: Even if Paul replaced Matthias (which he didn't) you're missing Silvanus, Timothy, Barnabas, and James. Math is hard.

It's true to say "There are only 12 apostles of the Lamb". They were eyewitnesses of Jesus' life, ministry, death, and resurrection. So, when they stood with Peter to address the Jewish crowd, 12 men, old enough to give a witness according to Jewish law, attested to the account Peter gave.

But then you quote the scripture that calls James the Lord's brother an apostle. But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. (Gal 1:9) Would you recommend we take your opinion of it or the plain meaning of scripture? Also, 1 Thessalonians includes Silvanus and...

Of course. So who's your third party candidate? Or is it okay, in your faith, to choose a representative who promotes lesser-known demonic powers? Like, as long as they stay away from Lust and Greed, etc.? That's just a "little leaven" right?

Would any who fear the Living God care to chime in?

Harmeet Dhillon, a Sikh, offered prayers to her demon god Vaheguru. One notable line: "..we thank you (Vaheguru) for creating America as a unique haven on this earth where all people are free to worship according to their faith" Ms. Dhillon also thanked Vaheguru for the "Chardi Kala Spirit"...

"We derive words like missionary and missions from the Latin missio, which simply means sending. The Greek equivalent is apostelló, from which the word apostle comes." From here: https://www.etymonline.com/word/missionary Apostle is simply "sent one." The word "missionary" (like the words...

Good point. To your point, some Christians worry about who may rule over whom. They think, if there is an apostle then the apostle is in charge. That is not true. Gifts are not ranks of importance. But, because the church, especially in the U.S., is so consumed with prowess or influence...

Very good point: empowerment. We have an enemy who has devised schemes against the people of God. Empowerment of the church is required for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. If it were not so, those most versed in logic and reason would be leaders of the church. No. The saints who put into...

Quoted for posterity. I guess you are speaking for yourself. I get it. You do not understand. Instead of saying so, you try to make it conform to what is familiar to you. Paul understood this too: "But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing..."

There were only 12 Apostles of the Lamb. Together, they were a irrefutable witness of the baptism, ministry, death, and ascension of Jesus Christ. “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John...

Nehemiah, you're immune to any corrective word. You should study what "union" and "communion" and "intimacy" mean at their roots. These are not social connections. These are connections at the innermost level: the spirit. The spirit that is in us is the exact same spirit that is God. We...

Fellowship (Greek = koinonia) is typically a noun. Only once is it used as a verb and then only in a phrase. The church often uses the word as a verb. “I will fellowship with him” or “Let’s get together and fellowship”. Once, because he thought that it was the way to start meaningful speeches...

Yes. My cat. Master Chief Cuddles.

When Christians choose an adulterer and a person who claims to "not need to ask God for forgiveness" as their "representative" it's permission for the spirit that opposes Christ to take up residence within them. The great delusion has most looking in the dirt for the temple and the Anti-Christ...
