    The western world hates PATRIARCHY and the church ignores it. By this are we sinning?

    Some think that patriarchy is about power. But I think it is about responsibility and it is the system directed in the Bible. But we have stepped away from patriarchy. Is that a sin and why does the church avoid this topic? The God-given authority of a man, it has been misused and squandered...

    War and Peace

    Cont from this thread: Women Pastors? If warfare is forbidden, period, then I wonder how it is as Christians we reconcile ourselves to the Christian past. When I consider a war like the Reconquista, am I to consider it a bad thing that Spain is Christian today? Am I to consider it a bad...

    Military Metaphor and Covid

    Biden Thanksgiving speech: We're at war with the virus, not each other I see this kind of rhetoric quite frequently nowadays. That we are fighting a war, or that the virus is our enemy. This is called the military metaphor, and is fairly common in Medicine. However, it is actually discouraged...

    “Most wars are started by Democrats.” Huh?

    The other day, someone told me, “Most wars are started by Democrats.” I asked him if he remembered the first George Bush’s invasion of Panama. He didn’t. I asked him if he remembered Ronald Reagan sending troops to the island of Grenada to take out the Marxist regime there. He didn’t. There are...

    Please pray for the children and babies and women starving to death in Yemen.

    I can't forget the horrible images from the news I saw on YouTube and warn everyone that are sensitive against very strong images It make my heart twist inside of me, as if I get all air punched out of me, the cruelty and indifference of human is too much, it's something that make me feel...

    For Our Nation

    War, politics, lies, betrayal, the murdering of innocents, our young men and women in uniform dying on a battle field via men of power; takeovers of nations, riots and lawlessness, sin abounding, the church asleep or complacent for the most part; the gospel diluted, and do we even notice?

    The Devil has been shut out of Heaven; the End is in sight

    Hi there, So just to fill in the gaps, Revelation says that a war broke out in Heaven (between the Devil and the Lord's angels) - this war, spiritually ended with the Devil shut out of Heaven. There is reason to believe that the Devil won't war again, until it is on Earth - where he will...

    MAGOG - Who and where is it exactly?

    From another thread here it was brought up about Magog, didn't want to derail that because there's much to look into. We first find it in Genesis in the genealogy found there after the flood. 1 Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them...

    The Devil is going to test people, as to whether they would forgive the anti-Christ

    Hi there, So scripturally (I have to start with scripture here, which is not a bad thing, I'm just saying) this is based on being blessed - as Jesus said "blessed is he who is not offended because of Me". The point is that it is never natural to overlook an offence, even though we might like to...

    Why Moses killed all except Virgin girls in the War against Midianites :: Research

    In Numbers 31 Moses killed all except Virgin girls in the War against Midianites. Lets research the reason for leaving girls The Midianite virgins you refer to (31:18) were young girls who obviously were not involved in the licentiousness and immorality associated with Baal worship. They were...

    The Devil is chained, because he refuses the cross' weight, but embraces the world's weight

    Hi there, So yes Revelation 20:1 talks about an angel with the key to the pit. The reason he is able to chain the Devil is that the Devil refuses the weight of the cross, not having the key to the sign that is on it. Without the weight of the cross, he cannot escape the weight of Hell, which is...

    Images of the Beast (why you should be open to the opinion there are more than one)

    Hi there, So the Lord sort of showed me all of a sudden, that expecting one image of the Beast is biblical, but that historically the reference to an image of the Beast is open to context. For example Facebook, is an image of the Beast as relates toward friendship. It is an image of the Beast...

    Has the war between Satan and Michael happened already?

    Revelation 12 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan...

    Are no wars justified?

    I posted this in Justinian's instead of Basil's so that debate on this issue can be had, if there are differing sides that is. In my research into Orthodoxy the view I have commonly found expressed is the following: War is inherently an evil. There are no just wars like in the Western...

    War, God and Population Control

    Hi Family, Do you believe God condones some biblical battles to control the population? Do you think it is a means to an end? If we have free will why does God intervene? Is the a biblical basis for war? ~Natsumi Lam~
