Maybe you want to reword that. You just said some people criticise everything he does for no reason. Maybe you can throw one or two examples out and we can investigate.Well maybe it's his own fault but some criticize everything he does just because he's the one doing it
The word "Church" appears nowhere in the Greek manuscripts.Great verses but spoken to Israel not the church. The church is not Israel.
Unlike other issues, neither the media nor political parties can control the economic narrative, especially regarding inflation, because every voter experiences it firsthand. Whether buying gas, shopping, or dealing with job loss, people directly feel the state of the economy, making it impossible for any party to shape this narrative.
As a proponent of free-market capitalist, I believe government intervention only harms the economy rather than improves it. The Trump administration's tariffs have damaged economic growth, and added inflation to stay up, while removing them could help, it may be too late for significant recovery before November 2026.
The GOP is confronting several challenges. Notably, youth voters who supported the GOP in 2024 appeared to shift back to the Democratic Party during the last week election, as did Hispanic voters. President Trump made significant gains among Hispanic voters since 2016; however, results from Virginia and New Jersey indicate that the GOP lost nearly 25% of its Hispanic support in those states. While it remains uncertain whether this trend will continue in other swing states such as Arizona, Nevada, or Georgia, it was evident in New Jersey and Virginia.
Hispanic voters’ decisions were influenced not only by economic concerns and inflation, but also by immigration policies. Exit polls suggest these policies are a deeply personal issue for many Hispanic Americans. Millions of Hispanic American citizens are affected by immigration policy through family members who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Many Hispanic communities are closely connected, often including both documented and undocumented individuals, making their experiences intertwined and inseparable. President Trump’s immigration policies have had a substantial impact on these communities. While some may discuss law and order from a distance, for Hispanic Americans these policies are personal, and they have responded by voting for Democrats in at least three states.
Historically, during mid-term elections, the White House typically loses seats to the opposition party. This pattern has been consistent throughout decades of American politics. The question for 2026 is the extent of losses that the GOP may experience, as well as what developments might occur following that year. If the economy rebounds, President Trump could receive recognition for this change. It remains uncertain whether Hispanic voters or younger will come back to GOP as they did in 2024.
Thank you very much.
They have not addressed Paul's comments re: Ephesus rather his at Corinth. They stated that Paul is not suggesting that women need to be quiet, submit or not have leadership or ministry roles in church but that it was contextual for the time and place Paul was instructing in Corinth.
Specifically, women in Corinth were leaders/owners of brothels and were used to positions of power within society and at home as they were the financial heads of the families. As a result, they were raucous at church which Paul felt was distracting and didn't allow for people to hear the message that was intended, hence, a set of societal rules laid out to assist a very specific situation.
They stated that Paul's words are misrepresented and misinterpreted because the verses are read out of context instead of read as a whole. I read the bible and didn't see where the information re: woman's job roles, financial status etc came from so was put into a position where I had to instruct the family to just 'trust' what was being taught at church. But, they are very educated and so this was not sufficient for them hence the quest for further information.
Regarding Pauls letter to Timothy re: Ephesus, I have not yet addressed this with my church given that we now see that Paul says the same about Ephesus and there is not an explanation regarding why the women, or exactly how the women, were behaving in whatever way initiated Pauls comments. I might possibly ask them but I have asked them so many things already and, much like this forum, I have to allow people to keep up with all the questions I fire off!
Many thanks!
Too late. The Christian Right have hijacked the Gospel to bring social order, not social justice. It looks like Marx was right about Christianity after all.
Nah. It's just a creepy thing to do. Bugging people on the street (or worse) to lure them over to another church. Pointless and annoying. If I couldn't avoid them or blow past them, there was always "Leave me alone. I've already got a church." as I did have one.Aversion to proselytism seems to be a secular and rather anti-religious dogma.
Ha! I didn't need a "secular culture" to teach me it was creepy and insincere. It didn't even try. They proselytizers made it clear with out any help from "secular culture" to reach that conclusion.The reason someone within a secular culture would be averse is because they would be taught by secularism that proselytism involves insincerity and an objectification of persons.
Nope. It seemed pointless at best. Why bother me? I already had a church. I wasn't going to join yours mr. evangelist. I also wasn't going to go out and harangue my friends and neighbors to join our church. Their religion was a private matter as was mine.But anyone who is a Christian believes in evangelization and arguably proselytism,
I can believe it isn't always insincere.and there is no reason to believe that evangelization must be insincere or involve objectification.
But, that's a really creepy, objectifying way to interact with people. It is seriously condescending to tell people you are concerned about their "souls".Many would take it as a compliment that someone cares enough about them to broach a subject they deem serious. That someone cares enough about you and the faith to take it all seriously.
Trump? Who's "sects"?That's interesting to know.
He still does some extremely... Interesting... Stuff that makes me think he's one of their sects.
The word you were looking for is sex. It sounds kind of like "sects" but it is quite different.The well-known "creepy comments about Ivanka" and others.
AmenDepends on what you are being stubborn about and why.
Um, no. Not at all the point Le Goff was trying to make.If doesn't appear in medieval literature before AD1300 and the French medievalist Jacques Le Goff believed it was invented then to compete with the pagan cults.
I used to be really into classic literature (which I can't recommend because some of it's kind of dark.)
Purgatory in the older medieval literature isn't RARE.
It's non-existent.
remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
I think it is, it's just mostly used within intimate circles. Friends or people that you know, instead of like just a random stranger. Might be why it isn't so apparent. Just a guess though.That being said, I am reading that many are embarrassed or ashamed so this once popular action is not very popular, anymore?
