    Anger!

    Woe to those who deliberately provoke anger in another for the sake of their facile and worthless amusement, knowing themselves to be doing so, because they set a stumblingstone before another in doing so, and it would indeed be better had a millstone been tied around their necks and them...

    Is God in control?

    Voted: DUH. No explanation needed, but a word to the wise: impotent omnipotence happens to be a contradiction in terms. Make no mistake, God does not so much as even "permit" something without that being a sovereign act of divine will and himself every whit accountable for it, whether we...

    Is Basic Morality Being Taught?

    And some happen to be adults who need neither one and do not care for being treated like either potential rebels or perpetual children. Galatians 5:1 -- Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 1 Corinthians...

    Free Will--the Forgotten Power of the Church.

    Monergism: In regeneration, the Holy Spirit unites us to Christ independent of any cooperation from our unregenerated human nature. He quickens us through the outward call cast forth by the preaching of His Word, disarms our innate hostility, removes our blindness, illumines our mind, creates...

    Free Will--the Forgotten Power of the Church.

    Not just Calvinists, but monergists, period. Moriah despises Calvinism and its odious dogma concerning predestination, etc. But Moriah bes a monergist and does not believe the agency of human volition to play any part whatsoever in salvation. Moreover, our experience of human volition bes...

    Christian "Al-Qaeda"--Could It Happen?

    Aye, liars indeed, but Revelation still states that "all the world wondered after the beast." (Rev 13:3). Furthermore, it states that the second beast which makes an image to the first, has two horns LIKE a lamb, but speaks like a dragon. Last but not least by any means, we have this warning...

    Christian "Al-Qaeda"--Could It Happen?

    That basically constitutes the real threat here. Not a Christian Al-Qaeda so much as a Christian Taliban. Something that makes Handmaid's Tale world look benign by comparison. :eek: Puke. No thanks.

    Is Basic Morality Being Taught?

    And then there exists intelligent life forms which need neither and feel rather insulted by attempts at either one. Where do we read a command to try to either herd or control others, as opposed to being kind to each other, bearing each other's burdens, encouraging one another, and loving one...

    Is Basic Morality Being Taught?

    Does it need to be, by humans? Doesn't that job belong to God Himself, as the Holy Spirit guiding each believer into all truth and being the only effective agent to convict of sin and righteousness and judgment? Have we reduced the miracle of reconciliation with the Creator through a living...

    Follow-up, just chatting basically

    What she said. Add to that, no way in heaven, hell or earth would Moriah have ever joined that congregation after such an experience.

    Slander and Defamation

    So what's the answer? People generally regard it a "good" thing to be "passionate", especially where they can tell themselves they bes "passionate" about God, about truth, about righteousness, etc. and totally miss the self-serving, self-exonerating, overwhelming marinade of spiritual pride...

    Superstition, Psychics, and Mediums

    Most commercial psychics and mediums would be pure bunkum anyway. Those who really do possess abilities generally cannot control it enough to make it function efficaciously either 24/7 or on a whim or on demand. But that would be beside the point and off topic. What about those in Christian...

    Slander and Defamation

    Have been slandered more by Christians than any other "type" of person if you want to know the truth. But even had that not been the case, it would still be heinous to have happened at all, because Christians, of all people, ought to not only know better but BE better. As in not doing it...

    Kindness

    OK can humans please stop trying to twist words to justify themselves for being less than loving and less than kind, please? The KJV may not list kindness as one of the fruits of the Spirit by name, but what else would be implied by "longsuffering, gentleness, goodness...meekness..."? We also...

    Pretend Christians.

    If all things work together for good, would it be so inconceivable to think that God, who controls everything and could have prevented the enemy from sowing tares, might have had a purpose in allowing that to happen? Perhaps He intended the wheat to cross-pollinate and alter the DNA of the...

    Pretend Christians.

    All such blather constitutes "foolish debates engendering strifes" concerning which scripture admonishes, "have nothing to do." Other than, of course, to expose it for the fruitless work of darkness (blindness) that it constitutes. :)

    Pretend Christians.

    Ahhhh signs of intelligent life. Very refreshing indeed. ;) What bes it Christ said in response to such indications ... "thou art not far from the kingdom of God." ^_^
