    So what did you think of the antichrist's speech to Congress today?

    Apparently, he was a priest who established missions up through California and brought Christianity to the natives there. So, in our easily-offended culture where everyone is a victim, that makes him some kind of genocidal, racist monster who destroyed cultures.

    You mean, things like "DON'T go there" or "You CAN'T park there"? :-)

    Why is homosexuality the one subject that may be too hot to handle?

    But, the folks on your side of the discussion oversimplify too. You take the people who say that gays have no business being in a church and declare that everyone who is not in favor of full inclusion to the point of allowing gays to become ordained clergy are a part of the "no gays, no way"...

    So, is 3-D CGI internet inappropriate content OK because no humans were filmed and it is something that is not specifically mentioned in the bible?

    Why is homosexuality the one subject that may be too hot to handle?

    The "choice fetish" is another word for freedom and I do not trust people who want to limit the choices of others. The proponents of "inclusion" are choice fetishists: they didn't like the answer from the authority of 11 consecutive GCs, so they keep demanding another hearing. In another post in...

    Why is homosexuality the one subject that may be too hot to handle?

    I wasn't talking about church doctrines or theology. I was talking about individual people who are at the extreme end of the anti homosexual pastor camp. You're right that it doesn't have it be that way. It should always be left up to the congregation. My point of view is that there's a church...

    Why is homosexuality the one subject that may be too hot to handle?

    That's the problem. Everyone comes down on one side of the issue. Even if you aren't 100% on one side or 100% on the other, there is that dividing line down the middle that requires everyone to choose a side. If research were done, it would be skewed towards the researchers' view. Here's the...

    Is the Book of Enoch true?

    I was introduced to it in a class on Creationism. You should read it. Think of it as fiction, but note all the things in it that people assume are true for the account of the Flood and of angels, yet do not appear in the bible. The book (3 books actually: 1, 2, and 3 Enoch) have had some...

    New Marriage designations?

    Right. It's a great cross-section of America and we are extremely well-versed in all the uses of the f-word. It's a Navy specialty.

    Is the Book of Enoch true?

    Nice. Your insult me multiple times in one post and then say that I'm insulted because I'm ignorant. I refused to read The Shack, so I'm not fully ignorant. But I was actually talking about temptation when I said that God never gives you more than you can handle: the temptation to read things...

    I served in the Navy and we never used the slash.

    Why is homosexuality the one subject that may be too hot to handle?

    Because the other topics aren't ripping denominations apart. It is the most divisive thing in the American church today. There is no common ground or compromise that will satisfy both sides (or even dissatisfy both sides equally).

    Is the Book of Enoch true?

    Every generation since the 16th century. Prior to that, the public access to God's word was filtered through priests.

    Is the Book of Enoch true?

    God doesn't give us more than we can handle. Genesis 6-9 takes up 2-3 pages in the bible. That's not a lot of information for an event that literally changed the face of the world and killed almost every living thing. Some of us need to know more because the biblical account of the flood raises...

    Nephilim & "The Days of Noah", v2.

    I watched it. It didn't really change my mind because I believe that the pre-flood world was considerably different than the one we live in today. So I agreed with most of what he said.

    Has anyone else noted

    So, why did my heart unharden in a minute, after 30 years of being hardened? As I said, if it was a choice that was mine to make, then that was not the choice I would have made. My life since then has become harder, much more complicated--not because of any worldly thing changing for the worse...
