In 2018, before the then POTUS pulled the USA out of the Iran deal regarding nuclear weapons development, Iran was in compliance and not building any nuclear weapons. Once that deal was null and void, Iran might have moved towards development, whether they actually did is debatable, but they...

You ask some credible questions, but you focus on the lesser gifts. What about how many people have the gift of healing or discernment (the ability to detect a demon even when it is trying to conceal itself or an angel if one appears)? Demons infiltrate churches and can then lead the entire...

Not only some Democrats but also some Republicans can understand,

Ruining the economy, have you checked the price of gas recently? There was an agreement that kept Iran from developing nuclear weapons, enforced by the USA, Russia, China, Germany, France and England. Iran was complying. Guess who ripped it up because they "could do better". 6 years...

I often wonder about what Biden knew during at least the second half of his time in the WH. He was noticeably slipping mentally. That does not mean that he was willingly making bad choices, just that he might not have realized the implications of the choices he made. The framers of the...

Humanity was not created for the benefit of the law, rather the law was established for the benefit of humanity. Once one has that firmly in mind they can make progress. God's law was established for the benefit of humans, not for any benefit to God, even in the garden. I will thus again go...

I oppose those who seek to prevent either MAGA supporters, pro-Israel, Marxists, Christians, Muslims or even atheists from presenting their views. Some of these groups I would rather not have speaking in my neighborhood, but I will defend their right to do so if I must. I believe that Biden...

You describe it differently than I would, but I agree. It is almost like someone attempting to describe the color blue to someone who has been blind from birth. Language is used that the listener can understand while attempting to describe something beyond their expereiences.

The problem becomes understanding just what Jesus, and Paul in places, means when they refer to people who appear to have physically died, being "asleep". Do they refer to sleeping in the same sense that we use it in the physical realm or are they using it as the best term available to them to...

Unfortunately, human reasoning is always used when we read the words of scripture and is quite capable of misinterpreting what we read. The natural world is cited as a second source of knowledge about God and His nature, but when what we believe about the natural world and about scripture...

I am for free speech unless it can clearly be shown to be an imminent threat to public safety, such as falsely yelling "Fire" is a public building. As for specifics, most professors, both liberal and conservative, that I either know personally or have heard speaking, stay within points that I...

Freedom of speech, as enshrined in the Constitution, a document all service members vow to uphold and protect, protects the speech of university professors, no matter how much one disagrees with them, just as it protects a president claiming that he will issue dividends, or will provide all the...

Does committing a misdemeanor make someone a criminal? I recognize that committing a felony likely qualifies, but in roughly half the states in the USA, speeding is a felony, punishable by jail time. Crossing the border without proper documentation though is a federal misdemeanor. And these...

You have cited several scriptures, it is true, but have you reconciled them with what can be learned from Psalm 23? I highly doubt it as very few people have learned enough to recognize just how important that psalm is to theology. Now making its importance clear to someone who does not see...

Actually, the following is a full and complete list of all Christian denominations that have an authoritative understanding of scripture. Now any denomination that is not on the above list does not have an authoritative understanding of scripture.

MAGA might have a lot of conservative Christians, but there are many more Christians than just conservatives. And how many times does one have to prevent single country from gaining nuclear weapons? Remember, before Trum pulled the USA out of the Iran deal, because he could do better, Iran was...

As I have thought about this question and how to find an answer, it seems to me that scripture indicates that the age is young, clearly before age 4 if one looks at what can be learned by reading the 23rd psalm, that is if one knows enough to spot it.

And since scripture tells us to welcome the foreigner/refugee how does one reconcile the massive immigration crackdown with scripture. Scripture tells us to support the widows and orphans how does one reconcile that with cutting social services including Medicaid? Scripture tells us to not lay...

This post is prompted by two other currently ongoing discussions, one on the age of accountability and the other on repentance. The question of to whom was the price for sin paid can be a tricky one. If we say it was paid to Satan, the question becomes where did Satan get the authority to...

Correct, and true repentance involves a drastic change in our minds. We accept that we are separable, independent entities, that is our mindset and we operate off of it, we can do to others without any real effect on ourselves. But to turn out minds around would be to recognize that we are not...
