    USA riots

    One thing that this tragedy has shown me is just how narrow viewed so much of the population is. It appears so many seem to have their idea on what's happened and what is currently happening (which isn't a problem in itself) - but too many are convinced by their view and will actively deny (or...

    Aussie and Kiwi politics and events

    Until Chrit's return - the best sort of government I can see is a small government. One that only steps in for where people can not. But it's really a moot point (I'll explain further down). Personally - I am not into big governments, lots of regulations, or governments controlling people's...

    Aussie and Kiwi politics and events

    From my view - their is only one type of good government - a dictatorship. Not what you were expecting I bet. :-) The dictator who rules though - rules with an iron scripture, has hair as white as snow, eyes like blazing fire. Feet like a bronze glowing furnace, and holds seven stars in His...

    Ask Yourself: What Will You Do?

    I think we're understanding each other a little better. :-) And yes - I believe this is what Paul warns us about this in 2 Cor 11:4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel...

    Ask Yourself: What Will You Do?

    Please take that phrase in context with the rest of what I wrote. I'm talking about preaching Jesus- not "a Jesus". I believe there is a distinct difference - and I believe that is at the very center of this issue you're talking about. I actually agree with you completely, and you've hit the...

    Ask Yourself: What Will You Do?

    My concern isn't whether or not we're not preaching against homosexuality from the pulpit in 15 years. My concern is that we're not preaching the gospel correctly from the pulpit now. If we preach about homosexuality - who are we targeting? The unsaved? If so - preaching targeting homosexuality...

    Death penalty.

    If so - would it also apply to soldiers? What about defending one's family from armed intruders if they're set on raping and killing? Or more importantly and closer to that scripture - how did Moses marry it up with other laws that said to put people to death for certain crimes, and how did...

    Death penalty.

    I'm sorry if I've upset you Bobby Jo with my questions. I was just looking for clarification and a discussion - not an argument. I'll let it rest.

    Death penalty.

    I'm confused. I'm guessing I'm wrong - but it sounds as though your in favour of judging people as a murderer without investigating all evidence first?

    "Pushing the Homosexual Agenda"

    If Disney was to promote fornication and orgies to children as normal - should we also be quiet? Or is it OK for Christians to call out other sins (Abortion, fornication, adultery, etc) if there were TV shows aimed at our children but we should refrain from the sins of the LGTBQi? We have...

    Thanks @Helen. Yes - slowly. I'm a little put off by so many personal attacks I'm seeing on a...

    Thanks @Helen. Yes - slowly. I'm a little put off by so many personal attacks I'm seeing on a Christian forum - not quite what I was expecting - but I'll stick around a little while longer and see how it goes. :-)

    Aussie and Kiwi politics and events

    Unfortunately yes. And horse-riding is the least of the concerns (although I disagree with what they are doing there as well) - thanks for bringing this to my attention. As someone once put it, Melbourne is more left than Seattle (and not geographically speaking). We have a state ran by not...

    Death penalty.

    Hi Bobby Jo - I agree that not guilty doesn't mean they're not guilty - and I'm not sure how you read that I was saying that in my former post, but I'm sorry for not phrasing my explanation more clearly. (Sometimes I wish we spoke Greek instead of English - it's a more clearer language). :) My...

    Death penalty.

    What I find interesting is that we struggle with a concept that God commanded in the bible (capital punishment), but have no problems with removing people completely from society in prison - which as far as I understand God never commanded (although plenty of non-godly cultures had prison). If...

    Death penalty.

    That video is horrible to watch - but I've been made aware there could be more at play than is realised. I in no way condone the actions of the officer who kept his knee on the suspects throat through the whole time but I have reason to suspect that it's possible he may have died regardless. (I...

    Death penalty.

    I used to be pro-death penalty but have changed my mind for this exact reason. Governments have become so corrupt - I fear that it would be used wickedly than for truth. I also sometimes wonder if the death penalty is more merciful (eternally speaking) than life in prison - as I suspect (and...

    China moves to take over Hong Kong

    This because we're moving into an era where many don't value truth. People wanting to hear what they want to hear rather than truth. I could never in my wildest thoughts imagine us being where we are today as reality. The issues with COVID virus and truth are just a symptom of a far larger and...

    China moves to take over Hong Kong

    Thanks for addressing my post Giuliano, but they don't need to just use military. I've just found out our State leader has just signed a secret contract with China as part of the Trillion dollar belt and roads initiative. One thing we do know is that China has a clause in their that if the loan...

    China moves to take over Hong Kong

    Thanks Giuliano, I vote accordingly - but my thoughts were more along the lines of what do I do with the knowledge that I have - closer to home - for my family. At present - my thoughts are that unless some incredible miracle happens in this country - this country is lost - and will eventually...

    China moves to take over Hong Kong

    Not necessarily. Those businesses in Australia that are owned by the Chinese government can be prop them back up / refunded by the Chinese government for the tarrif that they take behind the scenes. This would be a very simplistic way for the Chinese government to monopolies the market, make...
