    The Bibas Family Funeral

    I can only imagine how the families feel. I pray for their healing, mentally, physicially, spiritually, etc... What's really shocking is how anyone could celebrate the death of these innocent children. I agree with the OP about how we should be "outraged" when children die unnecessarily... I...

    What is sexually immoral in marriage?

    I've not done a biblical examination of the term "sodomy" as it hasn't interested me much, however, secularly, it's been defined by our legal system to include oral sex. My knowledge, biblically, has the term isolated to a reference of anal sex. I am unfamiliar (lack of research on my part) if...

    What is sexually immoral in marriage?

    Do studies indicate that the cause for oral cancers is due to oral sex with people in general or exclusively oral sex with people who have STDs? If it's due to STDs, then it wouldn't really be any different as many STDs, like HPV for example, can lead to cancer in other areas of the body. Looks...

    What is sexually immoral in marriage?

    "Only sodomy is sinful." I'm quite ignorant as I learned as recent as the last 6 months that oral sex is considered "sodomy".

    What is sexually immoral in marriage?

    The entailment of the bolded above is that it ISN'T holy for a man and wife to enjoy each other's bodies. There is a school of thought that God blesses physical intimacy which includes oral sex but within the bounds of marriage. If this is true, how then can a blessed act then be unholy? What is...

    The hatred of Jews

    Because God didn't assert that asking questions means you lack faith in Him, you did. Discerning truth is something ALL Christians who have faith in the Savior Jesus Christ ought to do. We do this by asking. I don't know about you, but when I read a difficult passage in the bible, I ask for the...

    The hatred of Jews

    So asking questions is evidence of a lack of faith in God and NOT a desire to know God's ultimate will? I disagree entirely. Asking questions shows a desire to know the truth. When we don't seek out truth, you get people who drink poisonous kool-aid. Has God given you a complete knowledge of...

    The hatred of Jews

    Which begs the question if this is man trying to fulfill biblical prophecy (Zionism), or if it's God using man (the Brits) to call back the Jews. There is just a plethora of evidence to suggest that man plotted to force God's hand on the timing of the return of Jews to Israel. But I want to be...

    The hatred of Jews

    How can one "come back" to a place they have never been? When Palestinian Arabs were promised Palestine (modern day Israel), it was only 7.9% Jewish. The rest were Palestinian Arab. Feel free to fact check me if you think this figure is wrong. Also, you're aware that the allies fought against...

    The hatred of Jews

    Correct me if I'm wrong (and I may)... but Transjordan was not part of Palestine. Furthermore, Palestine, specifically, was what was promised to the Palestinian Arabs and not Transjordan. Did you learn something differently? My point is, if I promised you a Lexus for helping me do some work...

    The hatred of Jews

    To be clear, the argument is "Britain didn't have the right to promise the land to the Palestinians for helping defeat the Ottoman empire" but they DID have the right to break their promise to the Palestinians and give the land to the Jews. Either they have the right to give it away or they don't.

    The hatred of Jews

    So by stating "Britain had no right", the logical entailment you are acknowledging is that they (along with France) appealed to the Palestinian Arabs to help overthrow their rulers (the Ottomans) and made them a promise that Palestine (the area known as modern day Israel) would be theirs. Got...

    The hatred of Jews

    @ThereRoseaLamb I sincerely want to understand your positioning and know how you got there. If you don't mind answering a few questions so I can better understand: 1.) Do you agree that Britain and France promised the Arabs in what was called "Palestine", at the time, their own nation state in...

    The hatred of Jews

    You're clearly triggered when people refer to the "Arabs" of that particular ethnonational group as "Palestinians". Not all Arabs are Palestinians, but if it enables you to stay on point and discuss in good faith, then I'll call them "Palestinian Arabs" to distinguish them from Arabs of other...

    The hatred of Jews

    I'm not debating or discussing biblical land claims. I'm explicitly discussing America's right to overtake Gaza. You refuse to distinguish Israel and the USA. In case you still have no idea what I'm talking about, Trump proposed that the US take complete ownership to Gaza. Even if I wanted to...

    The hatred of Jews

    You mean Hamas and many Palestinians cheer Hamas for being the enemy of their oppressive enemy? Not all Palestinians support Hamas. They are killed if they aren't obedient to their wishes. Most of the population is so young that they weren't even alive during the election! Let that sink in...

    The hatred of Jews

    Are all Palestinians calling to bomb the US? In fact, are they even remotely capable of bombing the US? Does Hamas? Can you site your source for this claim? My apologies if you're an Israeli. I'm speaking as an American explicitly in reference to Trump's proposal of colonizing Gaza. Just so we...

    The hatred of Jews

    Do you prefer "Arabs"? I understand some people are triggered hearing a term for a group of people. I wonder if you would ask Trump who he is referencing when he uses the term "Palestinian". Or would you not play coy with him?

    The hatred of Jews

    I agree. I'm glad you're sympathizing with the Palestinian people. They may not accept Our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, but they are nevertheless human beings. Threats of termination and displacing them so that the USA (the proxy of Israel) can overtake Gaza and allow foreigners to be sovereign...

    The hatred of Jews

    Also wanted to mention that anyone with a little knowledge of history knows that Native Americans were, in fact, native to America. In 2025, do you propose we voluntarily give our land and homes to them because they have a more historical claim which predates modernity? It just seems like the...
