    Offending Others

    I think your example is too general to say what I would do. I ran into someone, an every Sunday pew sitter, within a couple months of my being saved who said she didn't know if she was going to heaven or even what heaven might be like. I wanted to tell her so many things in that moment but...

    LGBT Activists Spend $15 Million Reminding Voters about Biden’s Most Unpopular Agenda

    Honestly what I really hope is they don't go out trying to scare the youth again. There were so many lies going around about Trump and the LGBT agenda that my husband back in 2016 had one of his employees in tears thinking he was going to be put in jail for being gay if Trump won the election...

    Trump repeatedly booed (and occasionally cheered) during speech to Libertarian Party convention

    Libertarians are a rowdy bunch aren't they... ? But all in all it went well, Trump looking to cross bridges and say hello even to those who don't like him speaks volumes as to the unifying message of 2024... Bridge building is nice to see, even if the crowd is unresponsive, though in the end...

    Bored with the church enamored with Israel

    You just used a lot of colors I can't see. Let me see if there's a way for me to figure out what your post says...

    Who was Elijah ?

    Christians choose which books we read from based on what books Jesus and the Disciples taught from. Kabbalistic literature is not acceptable for learning. We have the Bible.

    My Parents do not Believe in the End Times

    Do you want to have a real conversation about this? I can explain my position. But I can also invite you to some books for you to read as well as a sermon series because this is a deep study topic. I actually think the Catholic Church officially holds to an Amillenial eschatology, which is the...

    Bored with the church enamored with Israel

    I noticed this thread was created less than 3 months since the most horrific genocidal attack on the Jewish people in any of our lifetimes. Of course people will be talking about Israel, it's human nature when something like this happens and a country is forced to go to war. There are several...

    Bored with the church enamored with Israel

    To answer this question we have to ask: What is marriage? Marriage is a covenant. So basically your asking why do I want to be in Covenant with God? Well, there's quite a few benefits to being covered under the New Covenant with God, and no downsides that I can think of. Would you like me...

    Displaying a new black outreach tactic in the Bronx, Donald Trump is joined on stage by two rapping Crips indicted for murder

    Why should he? I don't see much disavowing going on, on your side of the fence... When he does disavow his words are ignored anyway as if never stated. Instead of focusing on a beautiful moment in American politics you're stuck on two rap artists who went to a Trump event and were invited to...

    Displaying a new black outreach tactic in the Bronx, Donald Trump is joined on stage by two rapping Crips indicted for murder

    I don't know what that is... I'm just being honest. I'd have to research it to even have a conversation.

    Displaying a new black outreach tactic in the Bronx, Donald Trump is joined on stage by two rapping Crips indicted for murder

    What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Aren't people just seeing these two young black men from the Bronx, who happen to enjoy singing and community policing when they aren't at church, through the lens of their own racism? What happened to the black man is oppressed and unjustly...

    Is this a good way to think ?

    Very realistic. Some Bible verses for you: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are...

    Hurt by Church folk

    While it's nice to have friends your own age I do think you should gravitate for friendship and social stuff towards the older people. I was saved over 9 years ago now, and there's a definite difference between my faith and well, nearly everyone (but I converted from a different faith so I...
