I'm a Christian of the Reformed tradition, which emphasise the sovereignty of God in and over all things. So, yes, God had purpose in just how things unfolded. We aren't told all about His purposes, though we certainly are told a great deal about His character. We are to believe and hold fast...

As to even a saved Christian and having correct theology, as most Calvinists understand TULIP to be; it isn't a correct understanding of God that saves anyone either, but God Himself. All of us humans here on Earth still "see through a glass darkly" (1 Cor.13:12), and don't know everything.

Hey dms, CF supporter. I’m going to frame the answer another way. The heart of the problem is a problem of the heart. Bunyan’s (who was a Calvinist) person Hopeful, for example, and his wanting and trying to reform. I believe every creature of the Creator is stamped in our very being to want...

I will allow that C. S. Lewis exists, and beings not bound to our Earthly plane, but not aliens in the colloquial sense, except imaginatively.

Yeah, um, it's already the State of Israel, so there you go; but our white 5-point stars don't work for them 'cause they're very particular about a 6-pointed blue one, soo... When I was born we just had 48 stars on the big flag and 13 on the little flag. They since added 2 stars to the big one...

It's my view this (division) has always been the case with any gathering of people on Earth. I agree that Presbyterian in-fighting, largely with the aim of purity above unity, is rife with sadness or bittersweet. God's people are one in Christ, our Redeemer in whom we are reconciled. Yes...

Welcome, cd. Looks like you've got a full nest there. I'm not around much, but I hope you can make some good connections here.

Et tu, Brute? Surely some have English as their primary language.

That's an interesting spin, Tanj. Based in some fantastic misreading of what I posted, but interesting; particularly regarding the money trail and your seeming perspective that the whole continuing drama exists in a timeless vacuum without actual detriment to the American public. "On" has no...

You might could use a hearing test.

And it isn't so much (to some) that the president cannot be indicted, but under one interpretation of DOJ guidelines the he should not be indicted. “The indictment or criminal prosecution of a sitting President would unconstitutionally undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform...

LOLOLOL, he's not my guy. I'm a life-long conservative Democrat. I'll admit I voted for him over "crooked Hilary" who should have already been locked up for worse crimes; but the choice wasn't based on Trump's character, nor the Republican party, who broke the Constitution to invade and pillage...

It does not change either my opinion nor understanding of the Mueller Report, or 'Russia Investigation' (as it was falsely touted to be), which unfortunately has been held up as some impartial standard of truth and justice. There were 'reasons' there was a 'transition' from 'Independent...

I go way back on the site, though not much of a contributing member these days. I'm a conservative Christian in the Reformed tradition, for what that's worth, and connected to the site's formative years (reaching back to publisher Tyndale House's Left Behind Message Board, through King's Tavern...

I don't know that this helps or hurts:

"Are modern Bible translations as good as the old ones? KJV versus ESV versus NKJV?" I'd say yes, and it looks as though the OP author is fairly studied on the nuances of various modern translations, the basis of their original languages texts, and some of the guiding principles modern...

Do you mean here on CF or in 'real life'?

Weird stuff happens on All Hallows' Eve. I'm just sayin'.

It's NBC. It was just a matter of time. I hope Megyn can use it as a stepping stone, 'cause I thought it was an odd fit anyway and that she was better off where she previously was.

"Why is evolution taught in our schools?" Yeah, as has been explained, the issue is with the U.S. Supreme Court justices' decisions, specifically as pertaining to the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S, Constitution. It's erroneously thought...
