    Understanding the Trinity

    By definition according to God’s revelation to us, we believe in 1 God ( Deuteronomy 6:4)Who is 3 Persons in the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit ( 1 John 5:7). The Lord Jesus Christ tells us God is our Father in the Lord’s Prayer ( Matthew 6:9). The Gospel of John clearly tells us Jesus Christ is...

    Is the Devil using LGBTQ to destroy Christian churches?

    We are to hate sin ( Amos 5:14-15) not sinners ( Romans 3:23). The Lord preached repentance and remission of our sins ( Luke 24:47. Such sins include carnal sins as St. Paul lists in Romans 1:18-32 as per the Lord in Matthew 15:16-20). If we have confessed to the Lord ( Romans 10:9-13) we...

    Dutch woman, 29, granted euthanasia approval on grounds of mental suffering

    I pray this woman will know Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and live (!)by His word ( Matthew 19:16-19 etc.). That at least her disposition be inclined to the Lord’s basic commandments ( Matthew 19:16-19 etc.) that might lead her to the light ( John 3:21). That whatever happens that the...

    The Argument for Universal Reconciliation from the Book of Romans

    The Lord says ultimately the good will be saved and the evil condemned in John 5:22-30. How could all souls be saved per the Lord’s judgment? Christians are saved by grace through faith which is to be lived out through good works ( Ephesians 2:8-10). Clearly we should not judge anyone since we...

    The controversial Harrison Butker

    It was government meddling into bad lending policies from the executive branch in the Clinton administration & continued into “dubya” Bush. https://www.aei.org/articles/the-clinton-era-roots-of-the-financial-crisis/

    The controversial Harrison Butker

    From post #.149: Quote: “coastal states with unbelievably high housing prices, how many young adults defer marrying until they are over 30 and live with their parents until then because if they had to pay rent they would never be able to afford a home or pay off college.” It was the...

    How can Christians graciously & compassionately argue against homosexuality, adultery, perversion, sexual assualt, rape, abortion alcohol and/or drug

    1 John 2:1-29 gives us guidelines to love of neighbor vs to not love the world. I also realize that the sins referred to in places like Leviticus 18, 19, & 20 etc. are the same as what St. Paul refers to in the later verses of Romans 1. However, Paul was commissioned to preach the Gospel of...

    Morehouse Students Turn Their Backs, Walk Out of Graduation as Joe Biden Gives Speech

    The late President John F Kennedy was known to have mistresses while in office but it was overlooked. Trump is challenging the claims of a porn actress & her testimony is a done deal for many anti Trumpers. Despite his shortcomings, I believe JFK was probably still a good president. Everything...

    Jesus fulfilled the law and prophets what does it mean?

    The Lord said how we are to treat each other as we would want to be treated is the law and prophets ( Matthew 7:12). The Lord said that the law & prophets are dependent on the 2 great commandments to love God & neighbor ( Matthew 22:36-40). Our Lord told the rich young man the commandments for...

    Helicopter Carrying Iran’s President Has Crashed

    I pray for the souls of those lost. Maybe there was a miracle for some to know the Lord Jesus Christ before death & be saved. It seems that on this earth, this president was a fiend. There are actually people in Iran celebrating his death. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1rrnppp5lno

    Published Orthodox Books Question

    The book I have linked by late Archbishop Paul of Finland is a good, easy & short read. If you can get it, it is only about 100 pages. Anymore, I prefer shorter reads also.

    Deceased Muslims

    I believe Matthew 22:31-40 is instructive. The Lord is preaching about the resurrection, declaring God is of the living ( so even the earthly departed must live), & concludes with the 2 great commandments. I can’t see how our Lord’s Prayer ( Matthew 6:9-13) does not apply also in part here.
