    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    I'm not upset... Just standing on the truth that seems to be upsetting you. In today's world where so MANY have become anything but honorable organizations.... The ones that stand firm should be praised. Where I'm not a cheerleader for them or anyone....I have noted that they continue to...

    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    There are many "Ex Salvation Army " people running around....many are given opportunities but fail. They gave the central office lip service and they had no intention of keeping to their promises. They have hope...which is more than most do. Even the SBC (which also has within it several...

    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    Calvinism and universalism are two wildly different theology systems that are incompatible with each other. My guess is that you have had an experience with some fringe group that doesn't represent the Salvation Army itself but individuals claiming their beliefs. And by your own...

    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    From GROK AI The Salvation Army does not deny that Jesus is the only way to God within its official doctrine. As a Christian denomination, it affirms the traditional Christian belief in Jesus Christ as the sole path to salvation, consistent with its evangelical roots. This is reflected in its...

    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    But not all do.... They have an extreme non-denominational stance. But that doesn't mean they deny Jesus is the only way to God. You MIGHT have an odd pastor or two that preaches that....but it's not the norm in my experience. A SA church service is the same as a conservative church's...

    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    Actually I have been to SA church services....almost methodist (before the Methodists went south) Each depends upon the local pastor preaching....some are not very evangelistic in nature. They are careful about appearances of exchanging altruistic services for claims of faith. (Which has...

    Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun

    Nothing that tastes that good can be all that bad for you....

    Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun

    I just ate some scratch King cake.... It was awesome.... For the impure, everything is impure. For the pure, everything is permissible but not necessarily beneficial. Pick your poison.

    Best Christian Relief Agencies???

    Salvation Army doesn't "cook it's books". It's usually on the site and there long after the photo op is over doing the work we expect them to. Just saying. Not a "full gospel" organization. Not charismatic in the slightest....very much a strong proponent of temperance (anti alcoholic...

    Fat Teusday

    Fat Teusday is coming! (March 6th) I'm not Catholic nor do I advocate for the Catholic Church. Now where I do NOT advocate being drunk out on the streets of NOLA....tossing beads to young college girls who raise their blouses to show their mamaries. I am an advocate of those square donuts...

    Is it possible to be SCRIPTURALLY CORRECT AND NOT BE SPIRITUALLY CORRECT?

    This "husband of one wife" has been misinterpreted for decades. Paul was Jewish....so was Timothy and Titus. (Where he said the same thing) Timothy was in Ephesus and Titus in Crete. Both of these cities are obviously Greek/Roman. Now according to Jewish practice and customs polygamy was...

    Is it possible to be SCRIPTURALLY CORRECT AND NOT BE SPIRITUALLY CORRECT?

    Not rhetorical.... A reality for many MANY people. No!

    Does God love those He burns in Hell "Forever and Ever"?

    You cannot claim God does this. People do this to themselves. Also God never has any illusion about the vast majority of people (who will not be saved). God has never been in it for the numbers.... Nor does this exercise of creating mankind seem to be very efficient....with the vast...

    One thing I strongly oppose Trump on

    You are capable of using Google (or other search engine)the same as anyone else. Look to see how much we spend each year on our nuclear inventory.... Then look at Russia's military budget every year for the past ten years. It's not rocket science.... The math won't math for you either.

    SHOULD I BE WATER BAPTIZED?

    You aren't far away from making the list yourself....you provided lots of scriptures already. However Your conclusion that "we aren't Jewish" is somewhat convoluted and wrong. We are Israel by adoption. "Israel" now being a spiritual designation instead of genetic lineage. Christianity is...

    One thing I strongly oppose Trump on

    Russia, like the USA or any other nation, only has limited resources. (Like money, labor supply and etc) Then most nations (like the USA or Russia) publicly declare their budgets....these aren't exactly secret things they accomplish. Then there's the active fulfillment of those budgets...
