Israel is often compared in the Bible to the unfaithful wife who cheats on her husband, in their case, God. However, another comparison can be made in the parable of the prodigal son (Luk 15:11-32). In the parable, a man had two sons. The younger son took his inherence, traveled to a faraway...

The one I'm referring to no longer exists. I believe it was founded by Herb Peters and later managed by his daughter, Holly. I'm pretty sure I've seen your name and avatar before. I went by the nickname Watchman and Jericho.

Hey Douggg, weren't you on the Fulfilled Prophecy forum at one time?

Forced conversions are not Biblical. If anyone did that, the blame should fall on them and not Christianity. Not everyone who claims to be a Christian is a Christian. I would also note that that was not every native's experience. Some tribes, like the Cherokee, adopted Christianity...

Sure, and if it does, even toilet paper is as good as gold. And if it's out long enough, gold, silver, and crypto will be the least of our problems. For now, but you have to think in future tense. What way is the world going? Digital. Cryptos, for all of their faults, are allowing people for...

Christianity wasn't spread by the sword and rape; that's Islam. Christianity is spread by the word. The Europeans were culturally Christians, but not everyone lived it. There are plenty of people who did things in the name of Christianity that were contrary to Christ's teachings. I don't...

Everything is linked to the US dollar in some regard. Stocks, cryptos, and precious metals are all influenced by the dollar (for now). Before crypto, criminals used paper money for illegal activity because it is anonymous and still do. I think you undervalue its worth. There are plenty of...

If we truly are Christian, we shouldn't see gender through the eyes of "cisnormativity," which is a made-up term, or how the pagans viewed gender. We should understand through the Biblical lens. Biblically, there are only two genders, really sexes, and God made a clear distinction between them...

This is the same intergenerational trauma that is within the black community, and honestly, I think it has become a crutch that has held both groups back, that and government dependency. I get that there were some legitimate wrongs done in the past, but carrying around those grievances from one...

I invest in both precious metals and cryptos. Why? Because the future is uncertain, and like it or not, cryptos seem to be here to stay. In the near future, I anticipate a wider adoption of the blockchain in commerce. There are lots of different cryptos out there, and they all have different...

That would imply that Jesus was powerless, which isn't possible. If it were, Jesus wouldn't have been able to resist the devil's temptations. In Luke 4:1, it says the (holy) Spirit led Jesus to the wilderness. I'm thinking this showdown was preplanned. Jesus allowed Satan to give his sales pitch...

If someone wants to off themselves, they don't need a bill to do it. Legislating euthanasia is a slippery slope.

It doesn't tell us much of anything, but we do know it will be used as a form of control, and it's associated with buying, selling, and trading (i.e., commerce). That tells me it's not purely spiritual. With the way the world is going, it's plausible technology will be used in conjunction with...

You have to keep in mind that the Dems are playing the long game. Flooding the country with illegal migrants serves multiple purposes. For one, it changes the demographics of a country. They are filling the country with people who don't share our American heritage or love for this country. Latin...

I didn't say that being against animal abuse is anti-Christian. But, equating animals with humans certainly would be. It seems from your previous comments you are conflating animal abuse with the eating of meat. The two are not synonymous. It's possible to be carnivorous or omnivorous and still...

There are two primary reasons why people are vegans: they believe it's healthier and/or they believe it's ethical. Not all vegans eat for ethical reasons, but many do. If they apply ethics to a diet, then it's an ideology. Whether the ideology came first or the diet came first is irrelevant...

The geography of the pre-flood world was likely different. We know, for instance, that North America and Siberia were once connected by a land bridge, which is how the Native Americans crossed. Go back further, and all the continents were once a supercontinent called Pangea. We can't really know...

My wife is Catholic; I'm non-denominational. Being married to a Catholic requires some compromises, so about two years ago, I went to my first Catholic mass. I have gone to many more since then. My experience is they are much more subdued than what I'm used to. The service is very formulaic, and...

I'm a literalist. I take it to mean what it says it means. God passed by both Moses and Elijah: Exo 33:19 The LORD replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you [Moses]. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion...

Sure, we should. Understanding what those original words mean can provide us with better insights and context for what the scripture is conveying. Otherwise, we’re dependent on what the translations say they mean, which isn’t always precise. Any scripture can be twisted. Romans 13 says...
