    If God can replace Israel, He can replace the Church, too

    Apart from the Holy Church, there is no Christian "nation". "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wounderful light." - 1 Peter 2:9 She is a nation of migrants...

    When The penny drops.

    Dr. Luther once said that faith and mortal sin cannot co-exist. Luther does not mean that one cannot commit a grievous sin while one has faith; for Luther mortal sins are not merely grievous sins, but rather sins without remorse, sin without repentance. If I sin without remorse, do I have...

    A whites-only community in Arkansas looking to start a franchise in Missouri

    Apparently it's not a humanitarian disaster. Apparently it's just Palestinians are evil and deserve this because they are bad and Israel is good. And, remember, empathy is evil. -CryptoLutheran

    Gaza: In the face of horror, we cannot look away.

    Well this was a productive conversation. Maranatha. -CryptoLutheran

    Jesus was crucified on Thursday

    In the Old Testament we only get information about what could be described as the undifferentiated "place of the dead", called She'ol. When David speaks of being reunited with the child he lost, he speaks of being reunited with the child in She'ol. When Isaiah prophesies against the king of...

    Gaza: In the face of horror, we cannot look away.

    Only if we completely ignore the literal decades of history before October 2023. Also "they started it" isn't a good excuse when it's children on a playground. It's far less valid of an excuse here, where literal human lives are at stake. -CryptoLutheran

    Israel state propaganda IS terrorist propaganda. State-terrorism is STILL terrorism. -CryptoLutheran

    Gaza: In the face of horror, we cannot look away.

    You seem enthusiastically willing to believe Israel's state propaganda. -CryptoLutheran

    Look who's side God is no now.

    The longer I live the more I am convinced that the war against education, the war against science, the war against medicine, the war against competency is not a side-effect of certain political policies; but is a strategic necessity by certain people in power. Waging war on education and on...

    Look who's side God is no now.

    "Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against...

    Noem Reveals 2 ICE ‘Raid Leakers’ Have Been Identified Within The DHS

    This administration is waging a lawless and wicked war against the Republic, and anyone who--peacefully--stands in the way of what they are doing is demonstrating their patriotic duty. God save the USA. -CryptoLutheran

    Look who's side God is no now.

    I don't know that Christian doctrine discourages that. The idea that God's revelation of Himself is "progressive" through history, culminating in Jesus who is THE Revelation of God is, last I checked, considered normative. Though this can come down to the theological tradition/denomination of...

    We need more whistleblowers and true patriots who are fighting back against tyranny from the inside. -CryptoLutheran

    Look who's side God is no now.

    I guess the irony is that as far as this Christian sees it, the anti-Christian bias in government is most evident in the Trumpian edifice. There has not existed a more anti-Christian administration that I am aware of than this current one. The problem, I suppose, is that when I say...

    Jesus was crucified on Thursday

    I can't help but think that the simplest answer is simply that "three days and three nights" isn't meant to refer to three 12 hour periods of day and three 12 hour periods of night; but really is just meant to refer to the Friday through Sunday which the Gospels all very much affirm what...
