Lifepsyop: << On one hand the modern Evangelical says "Yes, it's so sad the world is fallen, etc." and on the other hand ... >> I don’t know what a “modern Evangelical” is. Lifepsyop: << There are two faiths at work here. One is a faith in Jesus. One is a Hegelian, revolutionary faith in...

There is a surprisingly persistent effort to get government entangled with religion. I live in Florida, so Ron DeSantis is the Governor. A couple of times a month I get an email from Governor Ron DeSantis’ Faith and Community Initiative. The headings mention his wife, First Lady Casey DeSantis...

Kiwi: “I've heard arguments that the constitution is not as Godless as the OP might like it to be, but if it is, it is not worth defending.” I am not advocating a Godless society. Look at it this way. In the late Roman Empire, after Constantine, the writing of Origen were controversial. Bishops...

Thanks for that example. I notice that it is several years old, so this doesn't seem to be typical. I don't know if this teacher was expressing their own antireligious views or just confused about what the policy is. In the schools I went to, the Administration was not hostile to religion...

From D. James Kennedy Ministries, also known as Coral Ridge Ministries: << But in recent decades, this idea has been twisted into the so-called “separation of church and state,” a phrase that appears nowhere in the Constitution. >> James Kennedy/Coral Ridge Ministries is more hostile to...

Here is example of an organization that criticizes separation of church and state, or at least the secular interpretation of it. They do say that a version of church-state separation can be found in the Bible. This is from Wallbuilders.com. This organization does offer speakers for churches and...

I am taking an America perspective here, although church-state relations are important in other countries as well. Many people have criticized both the phrase “separation of church and state” and the idea behind it. I’m going to try to show that some of their most frequent claims are...

I was taught that the Book of Job deals with a simple question that has occurred to all of us at one time or another,. Why does a good man (or woman) have to suffer?

Being pro-choice isn't as scary as promoting a state church. Westen doesn't just say that Catholics should impose a state church if they are in the majority. He says that every government has a duty to the Roman Catholic church, no matte what the people think. I'm not supporting the pro-choice...

Thanks, that is helpful. From the name you would think they are concerned almost entirely with promoting the pro-life position. Instead, Weston simply spreads the reactionary Roman Catholic view on everything. If pro-life is the goal, you won't win by alienating your allies.

LifeSiteNews was founded in Canada in 1997 by John-Henry Westen, who is now Editor in Chief. I believe that LifeSiteNews is one of the strongest voices in the pro-life movement. Correct me if I am wrong about this. “The Antichrist’s Great Lie Revealed: Freemasonary, ‘One World Religion’, and...

Scholars believe that Job war originally composed with Job and his three friends. Elihu was added later. That is probably why Elihu escaped being rebuked along with the original three.

Ignatius: “And when we compare that sack to the later actions of secular states, does it even compare to the bombing of Dresden of the nuking of Tokyo?” Tokyo wasn’t nuked. The Allied Command considered it but rejected the idea. One of their reasons is that they figured that if they destroyed...

Good point.

Rturner: “For example, some Methodist synods will marry gays, but Baptists don't.” No such thing had ever been heard of when my mother married my father. The Methodists differ from Baptists in accepting infant baptism and in church organization. Denominational divisions are largely historical...

Bling: “This is the oldest story thought to be recorded, it could be before the time of the flood.” I don’t think so. The Book of Job looks like a story composed to make a point. If Job is an actual person, he had to live within recorded history. Here is why. Take a look at Job’s friends...

Bling, thanks for joining in here. You quote Job 42:6: “Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes." … and follow that up with << The fact Job talks of “repenting”, means he realized he sinned, so what was Job’s sin? >> It is possible to repent, or have a spirit of repentance...

Bling: “Job might have lived before the flood and been the earliest recorded book.” Job lived in “the land of Uz” according to Job 1:1. Uz is an area known to exist in historic times, on the border of Israel. This indicates that Job did live in recorded history.

The Book of Job tells us repeatedly that Job is a righteous man. The first verse says that Job is “blameless and upright” and God repeats this in Job 1:8. So what was the righteousness of Job? The word “sabbath” does not appear in Job, so there is no sign that he observed a sabbath. Job does...

Lifepsyop: “It was slow, but inevitable that we'd eventually get to this point to where the goverment is making promises to "liberate" children from their parents for not allowing them to transition genders.” It wasn’t inevitable at all. I don’t see why you blame democracy. The things you are...
