    Lafftur God’s authority is not because He loves. It’s not because He earns or deserves it by virtue of his great love. No higher power grants Him authority recognizing his love. He has authority because He created all life. Secondly, there are and have been thousands of people in human...

    What Was Life Really Like in 1950's America?

    I raised my kids in Germany and I liked it very much that we all had lunch together until they were in high school. I knew it was rare in the US. But refraining from talking about unpleasantness at the table is better for digestion. Isn’t plastic. It’s reserving difficult discussions for a...

    On a different site I was discussing points of Calvinism and was asking God for answers to their scriptural points. He told me “read the whole passage” or chapter or chapters before. That always brought clarity. After a time I stopped asking Him for answers cause He always said the same thing...

    I think the important matters are not being jolly or such but how one reacts in challenging situations.

    I am not at all directing my comments at you. Not at all. But this reminds me of an account I heard from a Speaker. He was talking about the difference between men and women in their Responses. He said that men do not tend to take remarks personally, that is, being directed at them but more...

    It would be. You can ask them but they will have no answer. You are looking for a rational understandable Basis for this theology and there is None. This isn't the only rational problem they cannot address. You can try to ask but I warn you, the Response will not be Christlike and at the...

    When you touch the root of a man's confidence in their eternal destiny that in their hearts they are shakey on, they fight you. You are threatening their whole eternal security and so they yell that same as when you poke a wound. At least that seems to be the case from Observation.

    It doesn't. There is no just answer to this view but they focus on how great they feel being a part of the Special Chosen Group. One has to blind oneself to the obvious injustice in favor of the thrill of being selected.
