    America founded as a "Christian Nation"

    Well yes . Anyone who knows anything about the history of christian faith and knows the bible understands what Paul said and warned . " When I am gone , grievous wolves will enter into the flock drawing men after themselves . " And is it any wonder for satan himself transforms himself into an...

    America founded as a "Christian Nation"

    Well Brother . Satan also believes in God but his kingdom ( this world ) is hardly christian . A creed does not make one a christian . This nation was founded in rebellion against the King of England because of taxation without representation . The founders felt "put upon " despite being wealthy...

    Can You Be a Christian and Deny the Trinity?

    This is a question I ask the Lord about myself specifically regarding this scripture . For this verse is describing believers in the last days . Not atheist , thus the part which says " having a form of godliness but denying the power ...from such turn away . Is the knowledge of the truth...

    Can You Be a Christian and Deny the Trinity?

    I think a better question would be , Can you affirm the trinity and all orthodox belief and still be lost ? I look at the early catholic and protestant churches who had many of the same views on the trinity and persecuted each other and others .....I do not believe they understood the gospel...

    How Do You Determine What You Will Or Will Not Listen To?

    I have been recently diving into Proverbs . " He who walks with wise men will be wise but the companion of fools will be destroyed . " (Proverbs 13:20 ) And Jesus counseled to take heed how you hear . It seems to me that Jesus was not ambitious because being who He was ( and Is ) , He had...

    What is atheism?

    I guess it stands to reason that I consider myself a believer. I do not know if I have faith not having anything to compare it with and understanding that many people believe lots of things . I do believe that I have a better understanding than when I was a godless believer . ( I was a godless...

    What is atheism?

    These are some observations that I have wondered about . I noticed that you are labeled agnostic on your profile but in your content you refer to yourself as an atheist . Isn't an agnostic a better description than an atheist since we only believe certain things ...in other words , many...

    A question to protestants

    Well you are of course correct that not unlike Catholics , protestants ( possessing our sinful nature ) have allowed opinions of men ( and women) to take precedent over the understood word . You will also see that there will be those who tell you that their denomination is the correct one or...

    If you can't re-marry then...

    I believe we often view things from a carnal /earthly /temporary perspective . In the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like unto the angels . If we have have one Father ( as I believe we do ) then in eternity we will all be little children ..brothers and sisters...

    pagan origins of elections

    Of course the early american christians did not subject their selves to the powers that be ( King George ) and England and according to Romans , they will reap the rebellion so not sure why Romans 13 is directive for christians to vote . Maybe she feels that if she does or does not vote , the...

    My life has fallen apart around me.

    Oh my dear Brother . I have suffered loss after repenting and it is not easy . I know the Lord will not despise a broken heart . Turn your tears to him as I know you do . Continue to pray for your wife ...If your children are believers , gather with them to call out to the Lord together in...

    Salvation: Divorce and Adultery...Will those who remarry go to Heaven?

    Hi Brother ...One correction ...The scripture reads except for fornication ...Not adultery . Jesus was talking to Jews . Adultery only happens after the consummation on the wedding night . That is why the Jews later told Jesus " We are Abraham's' children ...we be not born of fornication . (...

    Salvation: Divorce and Adultery...Will those who remarry go to Heaven?

    Yes ...I believe we have all been charmed by the flesh into a romanticized version of love . In Titus 2:4 Paul says regarding the older women ..that " they may teach the younger women to be sober , to love their husbands , to love their children " ,etc. I think this is interesting for a...

    Salvation: Divorce and Adultery...Will those who remarry go to Heaven?

    Oscarr ..Jesus was also a religious zealot as was Paul . Jesus tells the church to be zealous and repent . Maybe the religious zealots see something which you may not see , for example that marriage is about Jesus and NOT about the person or persons being married . There are no innocent...

    Salvation: Divorce and Adultery...Will those who remarry go to Heaven?

    And the prodigal son was unfaithful but it did not change the faithfulness of the Father . His ways are higher than our ways . The Father patiently waited as I believe we have for an example ( as the children of the Father ). Also the apostle Paul instructs us that if the unbeliever depart we...

    Open letter to the church from millennial pastor - this is why we are leaving

    I would agree with you regarding premarital sex and divorce and remarriage in that marriage is about Jesus Christ , not about "my marriage ...my happiness , my fulfillment , etc. ..That is an idea promoted by movies , songs , TV and history of lost people . I think we have a misguided idea of...

    Open letter to the church from millennial pastor - this is why we are leaving

    Love is patient and kind . Patient and kind . Kind . I struggle with kindness because of the fear of man . Kindness does not let one perish or go the wrong direction but the natural man wants to be accepted . We speak the truth in LOVE . Not judgment for my hope is the same as any follower...

    Open letter to the church from millennial pastor - this is why we are leaving

    I think it is easy to be someone who loves people but hates God and all He represents while believing in Him . It is called humanism with a cloak of religion . In Romans it is stated as "worshipping the creature more than the creator ...it says more ...not instead of . Loving your neighbor is...

    Failing church kicking out its old folk.

    If the church was led by the Holy Spirit , even the spirit of truth , would there be a sermon and gatherings based on such things as Mothers's Day , Father's Day , Thanksgiving and other man made observances at practically every church of every denomination ? No , but these sermons and...
