    Are We Persecuting Jesus?

    Acts 26:13-15 ESV “At midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, that shone around me and those who journeyed with me. And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is...

    Love and Hate

    The passage for today is from the book of Leviticus, in the Old Testament of the Bible. It was a Book of Law for the Israelites of the Old Testament, probably most of which is not repeated for us in the New Testament. But, the overall message of holiness and sanctification and pure worship of...

    The rule reason you were told masks do not work

    Fauci said US government held off promoting face masks because it knew shortages were so bad that even doctors couldn't get enough (Sorry for the typo in the title) Early on we were told that masks do not work. Now we are told they do. If you are young this is an example of what some refer to...

    Unpardonable

    The Unforgivable Sin Matthew 12:24-25 “But the Pharisees, when they heard it, said, “This man does not expel demons except by Beelzebul the ruler of demons!” But knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and every city or household divided...

    If We Walk in The Light

    1 John 1:1-4 ESV “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life...

    A radical religious law that could save the United States

    I'm proposing that all publicly paid employees, including even politicians and bureaucrats as a condition of employment be required to tell the truth. Evasion would result in an inquiry, flat out lying in termination.

    Struggling to forgive

    Hi. I’m new, but looking for some help. My husband and I have been married for 30 years. I experienced a lot of abuse as a child and became active in speaking out against abuse early in college years, before meeting my husband. I would give speeches and write about the dangers of pornography. He...

    The 1 Percenters!!!

    Democrat Politicians constantly preach about the 1 percenters. What they don't say, and what they don't want you to know, is that they themselves tend to be apart of that 1 percent. As well as Democrats that donate to their campaigns, are the majority of amongst the richest people not only in...

    The Blame Game

    I don’t typically share posts from the site but this one stood out. She Accused Him of Rape. She Then Sent Herself Threatening Messages to Frame Him. John Doe, told the Record he was on the brink of suicide until he was acquitted last November on five charges of sexual assault. Continued...

    How not to be stupid about politics

    Everyone could understand politics if everyone - especially the 'Think Tanks' - would stop lying. For example Neoliberalism was sold to the public on the basis that it would reduce prices. That it would do so by moving production out of the country and we would therefore be sending a lot of...

    Is husband controlling??

    I want some real non biased truthful opinions here. I really want to get to the truth of what is healthy and what is not. My husband and I were both raised in Christian homes, though still very differently. He was brought up extremely fundamentalist. No movies, no dancing, no alcohol. I was...

    Is Lying inherited from the Garden?

    Between the news and everyday life one thing I've seen that is a common denominator among both non Christians and Christians is lying. Not saying all of course, but the point is that it doesn't seem to be marker of those who know the truth and believe in upholding it. In the garden when both...

    LDS More troublesome words from Elder Holland: Err on the side of your faith = "lying for the Lord"?

    The slipperiness of the LDS leadership is on display again, this time in a speech of Jeffrey Holland, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve, given to the Maxwell Institute at BYU, the Mormon religion's flagship university: This is one instance where I might not fully agree with the uploader...

    Unsure how to handle these issues in my marriage

    Hello, I am new to these forums but a Christian in severe need of some Christian advice. My wife and I have been married for 4 years. During this time we have gone through financial deceit (she spent my savings without my knowledge), and gone through an affair (she cheated). Now I have been no...

    Husbands porn addiction

    My husband has struggled with porn since before marriage and continues in the cycle of me finding out, askinghim, him lying until he realizes I’ve seen, then confessing and apologizing saying he won’t do it again. I always forgive and offer to support him if he’ll just be honest about it. This...

    Ethics of lying

    This is something I've always wondered: What are the actual ethics of lying, from a Christian perspective? For example when someone asks you for your opinion and you know the honest answer would hurt them. Or when you are flirting with someone and you exaggerate a bit or pretend to be more...

    Did Rahab sin by lying about the spies of Israel?

    In the light of James 2:25, "Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?", was Rahab lying a sin? Is it always a sin to lie, or when is it acceptable?
