I don't actively practice Islam any more, though for a time I did because I was searching, and I learned a great deal from it. Their view of Jesus the Christ is what turned me back toward Christianity, but I refuse to attack them. Judgement and condemnation are for one superior to me. My task is...

There are works that I have read from an academic point of view for their possible archeological value though I do not attempt to add them to the Biblical works. And, those who canonized the Bible were entitled to their point of view. I take Biblical Inerrancy with a grain of salt. That will...

I agree, and I am sorry that I am touchy and emotional about this. To say more would be oversharing. These days I cling to God and work at being pleasing to him. God knows me but I can't trust people. The Psychological folk took liberties they should not have. There is no going back except to...

I'm sorry, at the problem. I am much more acquainted with the issues than I wanted to be.

Look at Isa. 56:4-5, and MaTT 19:12. In my opinion, Intersex are created by God.

GRRRRR. There are those who are terrorized by one parent or the other and that can influence Gender. The churches have been criminally useless in that area. Feminism and the LGBT group muddy the water. I feel nothing but compassion for the abused who later turn to a life a crime. There are...

Sarcastically, I am happy that you feel so secure in your knowledge.

I'm processing that and am familiar with those scriptures but have to confess that in the past I've been pretty slow and dull. Deep loss is hard to deal with.

I think that most Depressive Conditions come from loss, or unfulfilled desires. Drugs might help temporarily but should be very short term. The church if they would step up to the plate with real understanding could do better than the Psychological community and drugs. I feel sad that most...

I'm confused. I've been lurking in this conversation and wonder how Gender Issues got into it? Psychologists think it is real and there are lots of different positions on it. The churches have been condemning about it. Just listening in.

Both James and Hebrews have passages about "Faith without works is dead". Personally I do not believe in being chosen. To me, it is a choice.

I was given two Pfizer shots in January of 2021. I do not know about a third yet. I have COPD, so.

Wa Alaikum Salaam. Practically speaking, I study three religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Sunni Islam. I don't condemn Shia Muslims. From my apartment in Covid isolation, I have lots of time to study and meditate. Denominationalists discourage me. You can be assured that my differences...

Thank you.

No, your mind is set. Go your way in peace.

I politely disagree with what you say about Muslims. They worship the same God as us but their culture has prevented the proper education. I was deeply immersed in it for several years and could see it.

The Muslims have a word that I love. Mashallah. Thank you for your kind words.

Amen, and amen. I try to find the ideas of that early church, and to not dwell on false doctrine. I'm not sure at all about the "kill and eat" passage in Acts. Eating Pork makes me really uneasy, so I eschew it as much as possible. I observe the Sabbath on Sunday but don't actually feel like...

You can take that literally. It is confusing to me that Muhammad PBUH could have been around early Christians and Jews and still have a radically different view about Isa PBUH (Jesus) from them. I was deeply immersed in Arab/Muslim culture for years and can see that they think differently due to...
