    Applying God's Word to Politics

    No, I seek to prevent as many abortion murders as possible whereas apparently you approve of the status quo.

    Faves from the 50s

    Thanks! That kicked off the R&R era with a mix of acoustic and electric instruments. The astute among us may have noted that Elvis Presley was not in the 1955 list, but in 1956 he had five of the top sixteen songs, including: 1. Don't Be Cruel 2. Heartbreak Hotel 8. I Want You... 12. Hound...

    Applying God's Word to Politics

    Do you understand the concept of the Overton window? It refers to the need for sufficient support by people so that we do not have a repeat of the prohibition fiasco. Thus, I am not going to charge mothers, fathers and doctors who abet abortion with murder until everyone is educated about why...

    Have you read this book anyone?

    Thanks, OMC. I think all of those examples are indicated in/inferred by Scripture, but I agree that books can help a little or occasionally to understand something better.

    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    Again, my thread on Resolving Problematic Interpretations of Scripture includes passages cited by people on both sides of the issue, but I can copy and paste it here if desired. I thought this thread was only for taking a poll.

    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    You ignored me pointing you to a thread full of Scripture: "My thread on Resolving Problematic Interpretations of Scripture should be helpful in this regard", which is what tulipists always do.

    Have you read this book anyone?

    While knowledge of Jewish culture may be interesting, how does it affect understanding of Scripture in significant ways? Please share some examples of it being "very helpful". Thanks.

    What Were Ezekiel's Wheels and the Four Living Creatures?

    You get all of those out of this?! How? It reminds me of this song: Ezekiel saw de wheel ‘Way up in de middle of the air Ezekiel saw de wheel ‘Way in the middle of de air De big wheel run by faith And de little wheel run by de grace o’ God. A wheel in a wheel— ‘Way in de middle of de air...

    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    And true Christians are thankful God loves everyone, that they decided to repent/cooperate with God's will, and that their labor/work is motivated by/reflects divine love (Rom. 5:5).

    Have you read this book anyone?

    I have heard of it, but would you mind sharing some dots that it connected and questions it answered? Thanks.

    Applying God's Word to Politics

    Post is murder logically and prolife people should support educating society until it passes laws defining life as beginning at least by that stage of fetal development. I recommend publicizing pictures such as those that prompted my understanding to improve.

    Faves from the 50s

    I am with you. If y'all can find a copy of the book "The Gold of Rock and Roll, 1955-1967" by H. Khande Rhode, I encourage you to buy it. For each year the book has an interesting analysis of the music trend followed by a list of the top fifty songs and then a week-by-week listing of the top...

    60's / 70's Favorites

    The music was interesting, but I find the lyrics lacking unless one views the light and road as Christ. "Share your load" reminds me of "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" and "Take a Load Off Baby", which is a good para-Christian theme. And if you feel that you can't go on And your will's...

    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    Here is what AI says about MFW: In theological discussions, particularly in online Christian forums debating salvation and predestination, MFW stands for Moral Free Will. It is used as a direct counter-acronym and alternative framework to TULIP (the acronym representing the five points of...

    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    This post demonstrates putting one's thumb on the scale. How about also citing Scripture supporting synergism/MFW?

    A Triage Plan for Reading the Bible

    I do not expect a triage plan to include very many more Scriptures, but I propose including at least this passage from the OT, Gen. 3:1-9, because it illustrates the beginning of humanity's spiritual war and that God seeks to save sinners, as Jesus taught in Luke 19:10, "For the Son of Man...

    The Teachings of Paul (TOP)

    TOP #287: Marriage should be honored by all and spouses should be faithful. [Heb. 13:4] This positive command commends marriage as good (whereas TOP #90 seems more like a concession to avoid bad). It is the opposite of the commands against adultery and sexual immorality. >>>TOP #89: Honor God...

    Applying God's Word to Politics

    Oh, that explains it--not. My post-sentience abortion is murder, and my point is that it cannot be punished capitally until society is educated about fetal development so the Overton window is moved. What worked for me as a 30 year old pro choice person who was ignorant about fetal development...

    The Didache: Doctrines That Build on the Creed

    Didachaic teachings were taught by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount by means of nine Beatitudes with which Jesus began his sermon (Matt. 5:3-11): 1. Be poor in spirit, willing to cooperate with God. 2. Mourn because of caring about other people as oneself (cf. Matt. 22:39). 3. Be meek, meaning...
