    I mentioned this on this forum recently: Sexuality and the church.

    Read this article. Some time ago, I believe I made some comments on a post or more from a thread by @Michie about how sexuality is going to be the next great split in the church. It seems I am not alone in this thinking as I just came across this article...

    My Understanding of Free Will

    Here I would like to outline my thoughts on Free Will and the capacity that we have it. There will be several steps to this, but I hope it is clear at the end of this that you [all] know where I stand on this issue. First, I should break up human psychology so that we know what is going on when...

    Why I am "Non-Denominational"

    Here, I would like to outline my general thoughts for why I consider myself Non-Denominational. The primary reason is that I like to "borrow" from other traditions of Christianity. That means I do not fit nicely into any particular tradition of Christianity. Here are some of the beliefs I hold...

    "Resurrecting Reasons" by Disciple

    'Skeletal Psalms' was an album released by the band Disciple earlier in 2023. One song from the album caught me like an emotional gut punch. That song was "Resurrecting Reasons". The way I take this song is how I see my Evangelism to atheists and skeptics. It reminds me that even though it...

    Yet Another Orthodox Metal Band.

    Sorry for bugging you guys so much, but I thought maybe some of the Orthodox folks would be interested in this band. This kind of music is not for the faint of heart! So keep that in mind even though this is definitely my kind of music. This is a song about the Eucharist. The vocalist who wrote...

    What, if anything, is wrong with this picture?

    As per the attachment, the question was asked, "Is Mary the Mother of God? A: Yes. B: No." My answer: "Wonderful woman. To be admired, not worshipped." Then someone else chimes in, "You possibly are a Nestorian heretic." What are your thoughts on this?

    The historical argument against universal reconciliation?

    I'm wondering when universal reconciliation in the form of hell being a "corrective" thing rather than eternal punishment was confirmed. AFAIK, most orthodox denominations of Christianity reject universal reconciliation. The predominant view at this time, I believe, is ECT. I was talking to...

    No one asked but I thought I would...

    I thought I would just outline my position on some controversial theological positions. This is for informational purposes and not debate purposes. I believe in a post-trib rapture I don't know if the "7-year tribulation" is a literal 7 years (In fact I don't see any reason why it has to be)...

    Liberal Thinkers

    One of the definitions of liberal in the Webster's Dictionary reads: One who is open-minded or not strict in the observance of orthodox, traditional, or established forms or ways I believe this might be a good general definition of what liberal means. However, in the last few years, it seems...

    Formalities and Salvation.

    I am pretty sure that Christ Himself was strictly against being overly formal. My reason for thinking this is that Christ seemed to almost go out of His way to be informal in the way he communicated. Take this verse for example: "He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair...

    One Body.

    Being in the Body of Christ as Christians is a lot like being in a family. We may say things that offend our siblings from time to time. We may have sharp disagreements at times, but that should not separate us, but instead, as should be done as right, is to seek reconciliation with one another...

    Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North Of Richmond

    Don't know if I should post the song (because there is cussing in the song) so I won't, but this song seems to have taken America by storm. You can see why. The man speaks from his heart about how politicians use and abuse people. It's very much a "for the people" type of song. You can disagree...

    Do you support abortion?

    Just wondering what the percentages are for supporting or condemning abortion. I myself feel it is the worst thing in human history since the Holocaust. Do women who have had an abortion need grace (both from us and from our savior)? Of course! Reach out with compassion to these women. After...

    Getting Wrecked by Jesus.

    Sometimes I think we become "hard" in our thinking rather than having "soft hearts." I had gotten to the point that I just felt I was going through the motions. I was not "undone" by my sin. I was still trying to love people. I was still trying to do God's will. But something was wrong. My...

    The Lord's Voice

    This writing is from an article on my website. Don't worry, I am not advertising my website on this site, Mods. However, I wanted to share it because it was such a special experience. The name of the article I have titled "The Lord's Voice" Here is is: This article is inspired by an article...

    A Poem I Wrote

    "The Lamb Who is a Shepherd" The Lamb on the altar Will be slaughtered in blood But does even this in peace By doing what He should He's betrayed with a kiss The words in our own head He numbers all our hairs And we have to respond By our inclinations He's the all-knowing One The devil of...

    On Agreement and Disagreement.

    I find it very common that if a person agrees with a position, they say nothing to affirm that position (whatever it may be). Conversely to that, I find it is very common that if a person disagrees with a position, they say something to say they negate that position (whatever it may be). To me...
