Apparently, whistleblowers get financial rewards. Read it on this law firm's site.

i.e., certain Judaizers3 As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons
What were these endless genealogies?not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith.
These endless genealogies were silly and irreverent as opposed to faith and godliness.7 Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness.
Focusing on these false myths could distract you from true faith. The Judaizers wanted Timothy and the Christians to focus on mythical Jewish genealogies. Paul put a stop to that kind of vain speculations and diversions.20 O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called "knowledge," for by professing it some have swerved from the faith.

AMBASSADOR HAT
From the Christian Philosophy and Ethics SOP:
This thread looks like it's discussing politics, which the General Politics forum is more suited for:
Therefore, this thread has been moved from Christian Philosophy and Ethics to General Politics.
AMBASSADOR HAT OFF
All stocks went up on the Trump Trade. I also assume that it will increase DHS spending but spending is what our government loves. I believe this admin is starting with illegal/ amnesty(?) criminal aliens and this will take time unless the government has been tracking location.....however, rounding up and detaining illegal immigrants will increase DHS spending considerably.....private prison companies are elated (their stock prices shot up since the election).
I don't think most people really analyze Fascism or Communism that much, but instead develop a kind of simplistic map of good and evil which defines their reality. Most people think of Hitler as Satan, the Nazis as demons, Auschwitz as Hell, etc. The western world's political ideology is framed around WW2 as a central axis point of what is right or wrong. Everything we do or do not do is to avoid becoming a Nazi.
- Open borders because only Nazis care about which ethnic groups they live around.
- Have to start X war because otherwise we are reenacting the 'appeasement of Hitler'
etc.
Of the Holy Spirit of Christ. Now you raise an important question and one sure to stir the masses (if they took the time) who are not especially living a proactive life in His Spirit. Or, some identifying marks of those things spoken from year-to-year to weigh Religious VS Pentecostal enviornments. The 100-year old bristle of what line of reason these may serve to instruct in their chosen tradition:Isaiah 2:22- Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?
My apologies, I did not intend to offend you!Thank you again for telling me how I'm wrong and petty I am and how I don't understand things.
The 1962 monitum on the writings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin still stands unless and until a pope actually lifts that monitum. So the Church does not accept his writings. The Church officially, still, rejects those writings. I guess I just don't understand anything.
I may have succeeded in getting you to spell Teilhard's name correctly, so I suppose that is some consolation.

The Chilling Truth About Teilhard de Chardin
Many Catholics remain unaware of the Catholic Church's repeated censure of Teilhard and his works.www.catholic365.com
It does not matter. Earth will be as Heaven is. That is why we are to pray Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Then everything will be the way we always thought it should be.then ideas like going to live in heaven and of one final ‘big bang’ annihilation of the godless, are seen to be wrong.
The forum uses multiple sections to achieve this goal. If you're looking to prioritize following Christ through practical means, the Daily Devotional section and the section on Spiritual Formation and Disciplines may be what you are looking for.I am interested in prioritising following Christ even at the cost of losing divergent traditions, unhealthy ingrained thinking, bias steeped in pride etc.
Romans 10:9 does say that you need to acknowledge Jesus as Lord to accept the Gospel, and thus obey Him, but you seem to be missing the other half of the thought, which is to believe that God raised Christ from the dead. It's not just about obedience to Christ's commands, because that can lead to works-based salvation - you need to believe that Christ's death paid for your sins, and that is the only atoning sacrifice that is sufficient to pay our infinite offense against God.I believe obedience to God’s Son is the definition of being a Christian, but the topics on offer, seem to be more about validating religious traditions and personal convictions. Am I getting this wrong?
Either Daily Devotionals or Christian Scriptures should be what you are looking for. I would recommend starting a topic in Christian Scriptures with the words of Jesus that you wish to discuss.Where do we get down to business, the basics, the simple teachings of Jesus separate from distractions like politics and media and worldly education which soon enough will disappear like dust in the wind? I just wanna discuss Jesus’ actual words, what they meant and the relevance today. Can you point me to those specific conversations?
As happy as I am with your recommendations, for clarity I'd like to add some nuance to the common interpretations for the various NT verses dealing with the husband/wife relationship.Ep 5:
Was Paul teaching that a husband needed to earn his wife's respect?
No. Paul taught mutual love and mutual respect between the husband and wife.
Col 3:
Wives, if you want to "earn" your husbands' love, respect them and submit to them.
Husbands, if you want to "earn" your wives' respect, love them.
The point wasn't so much about earning love and respect as about mutual love and respect. Paul pointed out the ways: Husband, love your wife, and she will be inspired to respect you. Wife, respect your husband, and he will naturally love you. These are the two approaches to achieving mutual love and respect between husband and wife. Paul described complementary obligations rather than a conditional "earning" system.
Thank you.They will be in my prayers. Sancta Maria, Ora Pro Nobis.![]()
