    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    Everything in the Bible isn't literal. The creation account is. God has to show the reader of His word what is and isn't. I've said everything I have to say on this subject in my previous posts; I'm not going to divert this thread into a discussion that would be more appropriate for a separate...

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    Yes. I really couldn't care less what people think about what I believe, except as it pertains to leading them to the knowledge of God, that they might be saved, and to glorifying Him. They'll find out the truth eventually; hopefully---by God's mercy---before they die or the Lord returns.

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    The account of creation in Genesis is as literal as the rest of Genesis. Whether other Christians believe that it is or not is between them and God. Scriptural truth is decided by God, not by consensus or personal opinion. He has to reveal it to those who are in error in their belief or...

    "Why the Left Think They Are Better"

    You compared one channel, Buzzfeed, to several channels. (Add Vox, Jubilee and a host of others, independent and corporate.) You compared Fox news to two. Collectively there is no question as to which side has more of an influence or presence in society. I stand by my assertion about academia...

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    It has everything to do with the subject of the thread. The theory of evolution is fundamentally opposed to what the Bible states about how the universe was created. (Christians who attempt to blend the two are misguided. It's very much an either or situation.) Mind you, when I refer to...

    "Why the Left Think They Are Better"

    Fox news is one right-wing channel in a sea of left-wing ones. Left-leaning output far exceeds right-wing output on social influencers like Facebook and YouTube because the companies that run those platforms, like Google, are left-leaning and they actively demote and censor conservative content...

    What creationists need to do to win against evolution.

    So here's the thing: The primary evidence that Christians have that God is real and that Christians alone have Him is spiritual, and only those to whom God chooses to reveal Himself and to give His Spirit will know this. The fact that He hasn't done this for most people doesn't make Him a...

    Support building the third temple in Jerusalem?

    The temple of God is His church (built of living stones, both Jew and Gentile, of which Jesus Christ, who the Jewish people still reject as their Messiah, is the Cornerstone) and the bodies of His saints. God was the one who forsook and ordained the razing of the temple in Jerusalem for the...

    Never getting married!

    (While I empathize with your sentiment, I am personally cautious about making definite declarations of commitment to things that I'm not absolutely certain by faith and personal resolve will never change. I would gently advise you to be the same. It is better not to vow than to vow and not pay.)

    "Why the Left Think They Are Better"

    At the present time the left are the dominant force in academia, entertainment, advertising, the msm, and social media, not the right. They are far more influential on the public consciousness than the right are for that reason. Neo-Nazi sympathizers don't get jobs at public universities, but...

    Abomination that maketh Desolate

    There is more than one fulfillment of that Scripture/prophecy. One has obviously already happened, the second has not.

    "Why the Left Think They Are Better"

    I recommend anyone who has the time or the interest to watch The War on Sensemaking by Daniel Schmachtenberger. It's a lengthy watch (I watched it at 1.5 speed) but well worth the time in my opinion: Insightful, informative, and thought provoking in an important way. Schmachtenberger explores...

    Abomination that maketh Desolate

    You are correct; but there is more than one fulfillment of that prophecy/scripture. The first has already taken place, the second not yet.

    Abomination that maketh Desolate

    The abomination of desolation (or the abomination that makes desolate) is Christians worshiping the antichrist. The "holy place" Jesus referred to is His saints on earth---that same "outer court" of God's heavenly temple mentioned in the Revelation which is going to be given over by God to the...

    "Why the Left Think They Are Better"

    It isn't right no matter who does it. I've never stated or argued that it was. My point is simply that leftists think that they are justified in doing the same sorts of things they don't like others doing to them. They don't judge their own actions and views in the same way that they judge those...

    "Why the Left Think They Are Better"

    True tolerance requires disagreement and the liberty to express different ideas and points of view. Leftists do not support and advocate the tolerance of diversity of thought; they actually support and advocate unity of thought in the name of "tolerance".

    "Why the Left Think They Are Better"

    There's a difference between condemning the beliefs and actions of people and defending their right to voice their views. (Physical violence is another issue; but speech isn't violence, contrary to what leftists claim.) I condemn antisemitism and racism, but I also support the rights of those...

    "Why the Left Think They Are Better"

    Another reason leftists tend to think they are correct is because they have the constant and ubiquitous affirmation of academia, the entertainment and advertising industries, social media platforms and the mainstream media, so their positions and ideas are not criticized or challenged as much as...

    "Why the Left Think They Are Better"

    The right aren't the side advocating for the suppression of free speech, however they may disagree with the other side, or even denounce or mock what leftists say. (I don't, for the record, approve of mocking people or misrepresenting what they say, which both sides are guilty of.) They're not...
