Hi A_Thinker, thank you for your thoughts I know they have good intentions and I'm sure Solomon would approve! However, would Jesus? They seem to indicate a preference towards self-interest and self-preservation and are these really compatible with Jesus's message at all? In fact - assuming...

Do you think gay penguins will burn in hell forever and also do you think they will be glad for the warmth as their time on earth was such an opposite experience?

Forgive me if this is long, or if you don't believe me and if that is the case please treat it as a perfectly valid hypothetical situation for philosophical debate, however, this is a real account and I want to know what you think Jesus is asking me to do or not to do. So the post will be very...

What if God has proven His existence to some of us? Just because he either did not prove it to you, or else He did but you refused to accept it, does not make it less of a fact.

Matthew 7:22-23 I'm also reminded of the parable where the master goes off to a distant land, and will return when least expected. Lucky is the servant who is doing what he should be when the master comes, however, the unfaithful servant will be severely beaten. I think it is important to be...

As I was reading John just now I see in John 1:21 John the Baptist denies being Elijah, but doesn't Jesus tell us John the Baptist was Elijah but was not recognized? How do you reconcile this difference?

Hey man, I don't know what to tell you whether it is right or wrong, but my hat's off to you for sharing a bed and not sleeping with her.

As my username suggests, I'm a Realtor. I'm being asked to interview with one of these "We buy your house fast" companies to list their properties and work for them as their Realtor. So if you aren't familiar with these companies, let me give you my take on them: There is a legitimate market...

So Donald Trump is the more virtuous candidate than say Bernie Sanders? Hmmmm... interesting.

Not to oversimplify it, but I think Jesus would say give them the big room. There is no just & unjust here. It is simply self & others. If a man asks you for a coat give him your cloak as well. That would seem to imply taking the small room.

In my own uninformed opinion, which might be blatantly wrong, it is not cohabitation that is in and of itself sinful, but is probably unwise for a Christian couple as it leads to temptation to sin. Most people will not be able to control themselves and that cohabitation with your partner almost...

This is exactly what I experienced. Once a believer in God but not in the divinity of Christ, I asked God to speak to me regarding the truth or falsehood of the Gospels. He responded quickly and undeniably in my life that Jesus is the Messiah and the Gospel is true. Knock and the door will be...

My bigget problem with this thread is that there all these posters and on the left side it says they are Catholic, Protestant, Non-Denominational or otherwise somehow affiliated with the Christian church and arguing over why we should not be helping the poor, how they just can't stand it, it is...

So if you build a successful trucking company, did you also pave the interstates? And if you founded a tech company, was it not bolstered by government research in technology? (ask Al Gore if you're not sure on this one) And if you are alive and well today is it not because many fought and...

Okay there are a lot of conversations going on here.. With respect to Trump - people like him (particularly Republicans) because he says what he thinks (and particularly what they think) which is often not PC at all and in many ways bigotted. Look most people in the GOP would like to close the...

The platform is pretty well established, the party line is pretty well adhered to, and that is another major problem is that there are very few risk takers who will cross the party line with independent thinking. You're right, Jesus would favor abolishing abortion. I doubt he would have voted...

Actually I think it makes more sense to choose the party that prefers peace and diplomacy, helping the poor, and not judging others. Now, do I wish abortion was illegal? I sure do, but it was decided by the Supreme Court a long time ago, Congress can't change it without a Constitutional...

You see, this is why a Christian cannot vote Republican and feel good about it. This post sounds like it came from the GOP convention? Who did Clinton rape? Are the Democrats aborting babies or is it pregnant women? Why is abortion so much worse than going to war with any and every nation...

Maybe what you should understand is that God's ways are higher than our ways, and to think that you know better than God is the problem here. To think you understand it all, or that you can understand it all, why things were the way they were, why God allowed this and that, etc. As if God owes...

Neither the left nor the right value Christ. I think if Christ were here today he would be ashamed at how the Christians cling to the Republican party. No, he would not command us to go out and vote Democrat, he would say why are we not starting our own party based on the true teachings of...
