Thank you for the post. Comment: Many Christians believe that this pope was more political than appropriate for the Vicar of Christ. Yet, as he mentally prepared to stand in judgment, he must have rationalized his behavior. Might he have been in for a surprise this morning? Peace.

Maybe she got the idea of going after President Trump by knowing her own sordid history.

Thanks for posting these horrible findings! The root cause is that if there is no one responsible for overseeing the spending, it soon gets out of control. Probably true in all of the agencies. We also see it cities and states that are in the red, and in various universities as well...

Thank you for joining us, and welcome. To begin, you are headed in the right direction—toward God—but it sounds like you do not fully trust Him yet to care for you and care about you. Bible study can help assure you that is true. Here are a few other suggestions, which complement what...

Thank you for the post. Their culture reminds us of pre-Abrahamic Mesopotamia. They also reenforce the Apostle Paul’s observation about some of the gentiles he encountered: “although they do not know the (Mosaic) law, they behave as if the law was written on their hearts.” (Paraphrase of...

Thank you for that observation. At least it is a market economy based on persuasion, and not force. “Yes, my beliefs are set, so don’t try to parade your scriptural knowledge to get me to change.” Peace and Many Blessings.

Thank you for sharing. Regarding your question: yes. May God continue to lead you towards the light. He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 Peace.

Thank you for the update. It appears the case is actually gaining traction. Dear Lord: remind me that schadenfreude is not one of the characteristics of Love Thy Neighbor. And speak to Attny. James of the healing that repentance brings. Thy will be done. Peace

Thank for the discussion, and the opportunity to clarify important points about the relationship between God and all of humanity. Suppose we were in a forest with many different mushrooms visible. They look so good to eat. Fortunately, our Guide tells us which are nutritious and which are...

Thank you for that thought, but it does not seem quite right. Did Eve and Adam disobey God out of ignorance? When God confronted their disobedience, did they try to deflect the blame out of ignorance? People today have been informed thoroughly that following God will lead to abundant life...

Thank you for your post. You make many good points, and who among us would not prefer to exchange ignorance for factual truths about current events and our history. Unfortunately, our fallen nature is a stumbling block for many, who will rationalize holding fast to their beliefs despite...

Thank you for your reply. You might want to rethink your premise and conclusion, because it sounds like you have falsely accused your brother. 1 Peter 2: 13,14 is about obeying secular laws. Thus, if you want to be recognized as married in the eyes of the State, you must follow State law. But...

Thank you for your post. A number of details are missing in your narrative. Where in the Bible does it describe what constitutes a marriage before God? If they did not obtain a marriage license, it simply means the State does not recognized their marriage. So what? If they were married...

Thank you for your post. The Bible, God’s word to us, explains God’s expectations for us and His promises to us. When you face Him, you can ask about all these troubling passages. In the meantime, it should be clear how He expects you to conduct your life. Did Adam and Eve exist? Yes, of...

Welcome to the forum. We hope you find the range of discussions of “interest.” There are many who are deep experts and thinkers of scripture. You might also find some who are provocative, and who might test your faith and patience! Approach every discussion with love, and God will never let...
