If anyone believes what Jesus says in John he didn't want an authority structure at all So now women are able to claim the false office than men falsely claim? the only reason these offices came about was because of the wild differences of opinions made it necessary to preserve some kind of...

what about the devil? for centuries he's been portrayed as a white dude with a goatee and horns - how has this discrimination escaped attention? surely all portrayals of the devil as white are institutionally racist and nothing to do with a culture naturally portraying individuals the same race...

if i ran a church and anyone was accused of non-consensual conduct especially with minors and it was obviously true, i'd kick them the hell out and give no quarter, they'd be out the door whoever they were

all sin is spiritual? 'flesh' is just a spiritual category it's not something physical. it's about rising above to the heavenly or falling below the worldly. it's better to rise above the worldly, but it's better to be worldly and not know Christ than to know Christ and fall below... but there...

I saw an advert on a bus once - an attractive woman was portrayed saying "I don't chase men who can't run away" i think that sums it up run, as fast as you can!

you're entering the debate at their level they will always win you have to come from above and go in naked without any clothes on, then you might get somewhere with them. take all your clothes off

one good thing about orthodoxy is that everyone can pretend to agree while also having distinct views. that function of orthodoxy is to provide a nominal peg to hang your hat on so everyone is basically able to agree even if they think different things, all they have to do is share the same...

the political situation in the run up to the election was insane late last year! it was high stakes and bought in the high courts and the queen started getting dragged into it as well as street protest and rebels in government. i thought to myself 'this has gone too far'. but i was wrong...

well Truth7t7 you could be right and i'm from the UK not the US so i only know what's going on here. i'm more comfortable among non-political people- politics seems so cult-like and detached from reality i recon the financial system is pretty much toast with all the borrowing and a lot of...

Yes but that's the trouble, when summarising it up it covers so much ground everyone will agree with you, but the details are overlooked when doing this and as i can see from this thread - how much disagreement there is! some of this is from not seeing how Jesus spoke and thinking he spoke the...

well, i think BLM is taking advantage of the collapse of civil society which the government has failed to preserve over the years now they see an opportunity. but the government failure came first, so why is God going to be with it? The problem with the Romans quote is say leftist or rightist...

Someone wants people to hate, now who could that be? Christians know better than this, don't fall for the bait! If you take a step back all you see is hate being stirred up all around and the victims will be innocent people. whether you live in a conservative or liberal place God is the same and...

Jesus didn't just go around telling people to repent, like John the baptist. He spoke of the kingdom, and actually spoke from the kingdom of heaven That is why when the guards were sent to arrest him they couldn't do it saying no-one ever spoke the way he did, if he had a one track simple...

Any single one of us could have been born in any race, it just so happened we were born in the skin we find ourselves in those who make a big deal out of any skin colour are the ones who are racist and need to dig deeper to find the causes of their issues, and educate themselves because they...

That's only true to begin with, later the true beauty of the Lord is manifest and it is great and desirable. We do not worship an ugly God, but a perfect one, and if we don't see that perfection the problem is with us not God who is the author of beauty. What made Jesus undesirable to us is what...

this whole argument is nothing more than splitting hairs, there is nothing substantive to any of the differences, it's just the talk of men

EmethAlethia, you wrote But they won't get a real relationship with God and the fruits of that, they will be missing out even if they do not know it. I'm not saying I know exactly how it works but love of God seems like the place it starts and there is room for some differences of opinion...

the mind of Christ is having a relationship with God

i don't want a sandwich i just love the concept of sandwiches, maybe there is one for me out there
