I wouldn’t look too deeply into the details surrounding industrial meat production. It’s liable to make you a vegetarian. I generally use no kill traps and then release them somewhere out in the countryside. But I am merciless when it comes to bugs.

Natalia, the division between the Coptic church and the Eastern Orthodox goes back to the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD. The patriarchate of Alexandria did not accept its decisions, and thus separated itself from the remaining patriarchates that accepted the first seven ecumenical councils...

Completely. 2-14 is a terrible record to end to a 16 game season in which everyone starts out 0-0 and wants to make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. Being that bad does get you the first draft pick next spring, which is something. Just not necessarily the something you wanted. Everyone...

I appreciate the pep talk but this is sort of like trying to be glad that the 2-14 season got you the first draft pick...

Christianity Today deserves to be attacked. Christians don’t abide, much less publicize the sorts of things this magazine has. https://pulpitandpen.org/2019/12/20/top-three-liberal-articles-from-democrat-rag-christianity-today/ And I’ve deliberately not quoted the article because some of the...

Five minutes isn’t always enough to catch all the errors/typos...or occasionally add more information to one. How about 15-20?

A teaching? Not really. Unlike the charismatic/pentecostal movement, you don’t have to believe in these occurrences as a witness of your faith. Also, unlikely charismatic/Pentecostal miracles, they are never there to glorify the ministry of some specific latter day self appointed...

You could probably come up with many different circumstantial answers...but the bottom line is I suspect a selfishness that prevents a man from loving his wife as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it AND a woman from submitting to her husband as she would to the Lord.

Then there’s this... The Face of God ...that is more than likely the item described in John‘s gospel, found by Peter on Easter morning folded the tomb.

A discussion of the annual appearance of Holy Fire at Christ’s tomb.

No. Probably a mixture. If you look at the leadership of such organizations, they’ve earned millions in worldly profit by misleading and lying to their flocks. They live in mansions. They fly on private jets. As far as the flock goes, a strong delusion and misplaced hope. If you’ve lost...

I never learned anything from family with regards to that. Became a a Christian after reading the Bible as a teenager. I was such a blank slate that I actually read about what different kinds of churches believed in the encyclopedia to try and figure out where to go...and after spending quite...

Cast not your pearls before swine. God is going to judge him for his lifestyle. That’s going to be a bigger problem for him than whatever you tell him. The real challenge for you is to be the light of Christ in contrast to his anti-God commentary so that third parties can see the difference...

Hello, and welcome...

Greetings!

Are you a preterist? I’m not a pretrib rapture/dispensationalist. I believe that we are in the end times, that Jesus comes back once, and that the events of Matthew 24 describe it. The devil does not “get stronger“, the falling away is a function of our lack of faith. Remember, actual demon...

This is precisely it, Susanna. The harder you work, the more you earn, the higher your progressive tax rate goes putting a damper on social mobility. Meanwhile, the really wealthy shield their incomes as stock options or capital gains and pay a fixed 15% tax rate on 7, 8, or 9 figure incomes...

a story involving tables, a whip, and some money changers comes to mind.

Personally I liked my “would you marry a toothless one eyed atheist“ thread but it appears to have been misplaced.
