    The Evils of Slavery and Its Consequences Have Been Taught Through the Years

    I'm not sure I disagree. I can say in my experiences as a child growing up and bouncing from school to school, I remember being taught slavery was bad and that all of us are equal under the US constitution. Whether or not history was sanitized I do not remember, but I don't doubt it one bit. I...

    The Evils of Slavery and Its Consequences Have Been Taught Through the Years

    You are absolutely correct that our kids are fed with plenty of garbage outside the education system. No argument there. There are certain ideologies I disagree with that I have apparently insensitively labeled garbage. I do not mean to offend anyone here, but here are a few examples of said...

    NSA investigating Pentagon UFO reports - An "Adversary with that kind of technology"

    I have always found this kind of thing intriguing! Is it is a military project, a private billionaire project or an alien? I couldn't say. But I can say with full confidence, regardless of what it is, it does not nullify the Word of God. If God wants to create life on Mars, he will do so. So I...

    The Evils of Slavery and Its Consequences Have Been Taught Through the Years

    I think some of the folks have missed the point you are trying to make. I'm 42 years old and I have 4 children. I remember being taught the atrocities of slavery in school and at home when I was a kid. My high school English teacher was the granddaughter of holocaust survivors. I learned more in...

    I believe ...now what?

    Do what most new believers do. Read the Bible and let the divine gospel be your teacher and guide. Church is good, prayer is necessary, but don't place your faith in man. If you truly accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, and you have a desire to live for him, then he will guide you as you put...

    Just Because I believe the "MAGA: Why I Am Concerned" Discussion Isn't Over

    So what is your angle here? With all due respect sir, if you criticize a person that someone else likes you can only make a positive impact if you do so in a gentle manner and of a good heart. You have indirectly called me a vile person because I too have sinned. I've said filthy horrible...

    Just Because I believe the "MAGA: Why I Am Concerned" Discussion Isn't Over

    Then say his behavior is vile rather than saying he is a morally despicable person. I'm saying this with respect. There is a fine line between condemning a man and calling out their actions. When someone lies we can rebuke that person for lying if our heart is in the right place and we are...

    Just Because I believe the "MAGA: Why I Am Concerned" Discussion Isn't Over

    Ok... I hope you are incorrect but at the same time it does not matter because we all know who is really in control. I just know what I have witnessed first hand and it is contradictory to what you are telling me which will of course secure my Trump 2020 vote:) I still don't see the supposed...

    Just Because I believe the "MAGA: Why I Am Concerned" Discussion Isn't Over

    Brother, who gave you the authority to define what a Christian is. Who gave you the authority to conclude that our president is a vile person? Do you know his heart? *edited --mistakenly put "have" instead of "gave". So you've established by his actions that he is a sinner. Ok, that is fine...

    Just Because I believe the "MAGA: Why I Am Concerned" Discussion Isn't Over

    Ok those are some pretty charts. You can scour the internet and find a mixed bag of all kinds of pretty charts to support just about any opinion. I'm not an economist but I will say this. I graduated college in 2001 and the job market was beautiful! I had plenty of opportunity straight out of...

    Just Because I believe the "MAGA: Why I Am Concerned" Discussion Isn't Over

    OK, thanks for clarifying. I had thought that you were implying that he was evil. If you were simply referring to his actions that is more acceptable. While I cannot agree with you that he is damaging America, I do accept your opinion. Not everyone is happy that under Trump our GDP is finally...

    Just Because I believe the "MAGA: Why I Am Concerned" Discussion Isn't Over

    Did you know Michael the Archangel dared not to condemn Satan (Jude 1:9). He reserved all condemnation and judgment for the Lord. It would be prudent for us to do the same especially since we do not know the current presidents heart. "Edited to replace the word "to" with "for".

    Just Because I believe the "MAGA: Why I Am Concerned" Discussion Isn't Over

    Absolutely! If we approach those we dislike with hostility and contempt then how can we expect anything good to come from it?

    Just Because I believe the "MAGA: Why I Am Concerned" Discussion Isn't Over

    I couldn't agree more. I'm not shocked by the wicked nature of humanity in general. I'm not the least bit surprised by the lies and slander we see from the media. I am instead shocked just as you are with the way Christians seem to behave regarding our current political state. For some it...

    Trump’s new nuclear weapon has entered production

    Lol.. my bad that the first thing coming to mind with a new nuclear weapon is "bigger and better". I'm glad that's not always the case. A nuclear bunker buster then... interesting.

    Trump’s new nuclear weapon has entered production

    But did he say it was "huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge"? Let's just hope we never have to use it.

    People do not change...

    I believe you are absolutely correct when you say people in the world do not change. The way I see it, the only way anyone can truly change is if they go from being a person of this world to accepting Christ and becoming a child of God. It's not that we are changing ourselves but God is...

    Restricted list lying

    This is not a trivial problem. It is very important that you make every effort to make things right with your group leader. You are both God's children with obligations to love one another. Matthew 18:15-17 comes to mind here. Jesus said we are supposed to confront our brothers and sisters...

    Kind of stressed.

    Here is a simple thing you can try that helps me at times. Do you have a smart phone? Download some kind of bible app that gives you notifications daily. Perhaps a verse of the day or a simple short devotional or prayer. Even when I'm really busy I can usually find a few minutes where I'm...
