    Are pastors afraid of preaching this to their church?

    Calvinism has neither spirit nor truth because it falsely portrays God as being a self-centered, unloving narcissist, not unlike "Allah".

    Are pastors afraid of preaching this to their church?

    We are instructed in God's word that the Father seeks us to worship Him "in spirit and in truth": Can't have one without the other.

    Father's Day

    If you can't refrain yourself from pointing out the family/church/ nation detriments and shortcomings of Husbands and Dads on Father's Day, you know, like in front of their wives and children? You got, what? 51 other Sundays in the year to let us have it? Here's a "novel" idea; why not break...

    Is Salvation instantaneous and permanent?

    First of all, I must mention that this is God Himself speaking here..... John 5:24 24Verily, verily, That phrase, coming from the mouth of God, means as "absolutely" as you can get I say unto you, God in the flesh speaking to a group ("you" is the plural form in the King James) So he's...

    "Leading"

    Thanks, I have received much enlightenment in this thread,. In a nutshell, this World wants men/husbands to shoulder all of the responsibility but with zero authority. Pastors haven't the guts to teach otherwise and from many of the comments in this thread, I can understand why.

    Difficult Christians

    Once had a pastor who liked to teach on the "angels cohabiting with women" thing he claimed was revealed in Genesis 6. He would dare anyone to disagree with him on it, so. to my knowledge no one openly did. But during these sessions he would say something like "I know some of y'all just won't...

    Are pastors afraid of preaching this to their church?

    If I were a pastor I would be VERY afraid to "preach" that garbage in my church, because all of it is false doctrine. The Lord Jesus died, was buried, and rose again for every human being who has ever lived or ever will live> The Holy Spirit has tugged at everyone's heart, by the Word and by...

    Pastors who are afraid

    I've heard all kinds of stupid stuff and some abuse spouted "in the flesh" and under the color of the word of God. But one can't go wrong actually "speaking the truth in love". That's what I heard when I got saved.

    "Leading"

    We have been married 41 years. Yes, my wife has questioned me on things many times and still does. I listen. But the final decision and the consequences thereof are supposed to be mine because I am supposed to be the "head" of the home. Yes, you try to advise your husband, and that is good; two...

    Isn't that what they call "strawman"? Let's see......... You have missed or ignored the point of this whole post.

    "Leading"

    Did you mean for that to be condescending? Is it a Christian attitude to argue with your boss? The Christian thing is to "obey...with singleness of heart" so they don't have to deal with the grief and burden of your insubordination. That concept works everywhere in every situation...

    "Leading"

    Here's another real-world example which directly relates the the first one I gave in this thread: We recently sold a $7400 piece of equipment to a customer. it was a brand-new "high flow" brush cutter for a skid steer. The customer got it home and discovered that it had 1/2'' flat-faced couplers...

    Dumb

    The "Shepherds" of Israel were the political and religious leaders, exploiting the people instead of leading and genuinely caring for them. Some religious leaders today behave more like politicians and will use Bible passages like "touch not mine anointed" to keep their "flock" in check and...

    Dumb

    Do you have Bible references for these? I know that God will separate the "sheep" from the "goats" with the sheep being the believers. and goats being unbelievers. Jesus said "my sheep know my voice". Also it was a "horned ram" which God chose as the sacrifice in place of Isaac. And Ezekiel 34...

    Dumb

    Virtually all grass-eating 4-footed farm animals will stick their heads through a fence. When we had horned goats they were constantly getting their heads stuck in the fences. But Southdowns are polled . Sounds like you had the wrong type of fence. In over 15 years of raising sheep I don't...

    Dumb

    Do you know all this, about sheep, from first-hand experience? Around my neck of the woods, Northwest Florida, there used to be what they called "Free range" wherein livestock was allowed to roam freely to be later rounded up to sell. My elderly next door neighbor, who still plowed with a mule...

    You will love them. I would advise getting at least two; sheep don't do well alone.
