Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
These statements actually demonstrate some serious misunderstanding about these matters and the distinctions being made between one element and another. Such misunderstandings bes fairly typical, nothing new here, but they ought to be cleared up so that others will not be confused by the errors...

Please show us one crusade, one pogrom, one Inquisition, one witchhunt, one murder by oubliette, rack, sword, stake or catherine wheel -- in fact, one atrocity, period, of ANY sort -- which has ever been perpetrated on another human being as a product of the perpetrator's personal...
So one comes to play the whetstone this morning. Let us see how sharp this sword can become in the Lord's own hands!!
OK but please be advised, Moriah used them to mean what they actually mean. By redefining them to mean something else, you have actually changed the terms of the discussion...
Seem to be finally approaching the place it always dreaded approaching. The place of cold steel calculus. The place of no emotion or at least nothing attached to any sense of "self". The place of complete emptiness where a conscience used to reside continually worrying and nattering away over...
Can't seem to stop blogging today -- nearly everything seems/feels "important" to get down somehow.
One of the difficulties Moriah keeps running into in this business being this hidden secret meaning of "allow" which everyone ELSE seems to grasp but which continually eludes it.
It therefore...
An ongoing effort to tease apart various historical skirmishes upon the battlefield of that one great Cosmic War: the War for the Definition of Reality.
Some confusion arises because of the different uses of the words "gnostic" and "gnosticism", as well as the words "orthodox" and "orthodoxy"...
Just some notes ...
Revelation speaks of a tripartite power -- the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet. Some have suggested this refers to a convergence of newage mishmash with fallen Catholicism and apostate Protestantism. Could be. Others envision it as a convergence of new-age...
Someone ran a poll with this title in SF/C tonight. Decided it should blog its response for future reference.
First of all, it bes impossible to read something, anything, without forming an interpretation. The word interpretation does not necessarily mean something deliberately crafted to fit...
We [p]raise You.
Let the confused [p]raise their monsters. The sighted shall [p]raise the Lord God what bes plentiful and abounding in mercy and grace.
You wouldn't praise your child's worst behavior and downplay his best, would you? You want God to grow up twisted and hard inside like many...
Saw this in a guestbook, no less, on the Warrior Saint website (which it has only just begun to peruse so no review either positive or negative just yet). Found it interesting and parts of it rang true, so pullsy here for puttings before you...bolded the interesting bits.
OK maybe it just bes...
Written in response to this statement on a thread in SFPC subforum:
The Everlasting Covenant appears in the part of the Bible called the Old Testament, yes. It appears in such places as Ezekiel 36:26-27 and Jeremiah 31:31-34. It bes manifest wherever the debar indicated activity to be...
Friend Shachah writes this in her blog, what bes addressed to daimonizomai and it copies here to keeping.

The Miracle has been cancelled due to lack of interest.
One more project to archive. Why, for what purpose, to what end? Nobody knows. Nobody cares, and that alone has basically convinced this one not to either.
Not even sure where to begin to "wrap things up". The ability to communicate...
The James Dobson Nightmare
When answering a question concerning salvation in a recent Focus on the Family magazine, Dr. James Dobson wrote: "God will not force Himself on anyone." (Focus on the Family, December, 1994, pg. 5.) Hold onto that nightmarish thought, if you are able. Dr. Dobson is...
OK God, moriah "gets" it.
You have been trying to tell it this for years, that you do not want it and that it has no place among your people.
Tired of fighting You on this. You want to throw it away, You want to destroy it, and it bes too small to stand up against You. You will have Your way...
God's will: that all men should be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. We find this expressed in 1 Timothy 2:4. The question we need to ask ourselves in light of this passage (and others like it, such as 2 Peter 3:9) would be this: bes God sovereign in all things? In all things...
Proverb 17:15
He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
Does that make God an abomination to Himself? :scratch:
Romans 5:6-10
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For...
Just some personal and VERY "preliminary" (embryonic) notes for future reference on the "promise ring thing" and associated sexual purity programs.
The idea itself of course has noble origins -- those doing these programs want to teach kids Biblical principles about marriage and sexual purity...
This post originally appears in the context of invoking Romans 2:1 and explaining that the "whosoever" therein indicates this verse can and will be true for any one of us at any time where we give ourselves over to passing judgments on others. One member had stated:
To which Moriah responded...
