Commissioners of the Salvation Army live in ordinary homes and drive ordinary cars. Commissioners of the Salvation Army work in ordinary offices and fulfill their appointed task as Overseer. A retired Commissioner (btw-female) attends my church and sits amongst the other Believers. When I have...

I am reminded of the old prayer "Lord, protect me from your followers". But in this case, sadly, they don't follow Jesus. IIRC in John's gospel the High Priest discusses the possibility of executing Lazarus, to protect the faithful... Oh. Rushdie is an Atheist, and public atheists are being...

I believe that in this forum that Mel Gibson is seen as: a sinner like the rest of us, with a faith in Christ like the rest of us, trying to share Christ's story to a new generation, like the rest of us. Before you cast another stone at him, please confirm to us that you have never sinned....

I can predict how this story ends. After Trump, Iran takes X American hostages and gets their agent back to live a life of relative comfort in Iran....

IMHO the shepherd is not 'over' the flock. The good shepherd leads the flock with his voice. And the good shepherd never lives in a palace, nor is a 'prince' of the Church.... Constantine sure did a job on us.... God, I miss Peter. God, please send us a shepherd like Peter the fisherman.

The defence was ... I stabbed him 15 times, but I was not trying to kill him...

Nancy Wake (WW2 SOE agent) on the movie "The White Mouse": "I did not have time to cook eggs for the men...".

The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection (2025) - Trailer | Jim Caviezel I would describe this as a teaser as the footage seems to all be from the awesome and highly recommended mini-series "The Bible". The audio might be from the new movie?

IMHO it was so good, I copied it into my notes, with Dino's tag.

There is a sequel expected very shortly. Hopefully more upbeat.

And the first IMHO to understand the Death of Jesus -> Mary, sister of Lazarus, six days before Passover

Why do you think God chose a woman for revelation first so many times? The Incarnation -> Mary, mother of Jesus Messiahship -> The Samaritan woman Resurrection -> Mary Magdelene

Jesus obviously did not know "the rules". <sarcasm> How dare he first reveal His Messiahship to a Samaritan Women Sinner, and not say, one of his male Disciples?

The early Church Fathers hold the exact opposite opinion.

I believe that Deborah was well rounded being a Prophet for religious matters and a Judge for civil matters. Deborah was also prepared to lead the Israelite army if necessary.
