    Can we talk about the 2020 vote now?

    You are quite right about this. In my previous message, I wrote that Trump has 1 million votes below 2020. Now, however, he almost has the same number of votes as in 2020. Harris, on the other hand, has 11.6 million votes below 2020. This difference will diminish as more votes are counted, but...

    Can we talk about the 2020 vote now?

    Trump has almost the same number of votes as the 2020 election. This results: 1) Argues against mass fraud happening in 2020. 2) Argues against widespread excitement for the election of Trump in 2024. But he is undoubtedly more popular than Harris. Trump won because people rejected the...

    Converted ex Muslims are particularly difficult to support in their new faith: Some techniques that might help.

    Criticizing Calvinism is not my intention or the intention of the thread. But one observation is that "predestination" may have elitist overtones similar to the following Quranic verse: [Believers], you are the best community singled out for people: you order what is right, forbid what is...

    Converted ex Muslims are particularly difficult to support in their new faith: Some techniques that might help.

    Is there something particularly attractive about Calvinism for a previous Muslim? I really didn't think so. But perhaps Calvinism's tendency to provide answers, where the Bible leaves things vague, is particularly appealing?

    Converted ex Muslims are particularly difficult to support in their new faith: Some techniques that might help.

    You make an excellent point, which is also true of anyone who becomes a Christian. In talking with Muslims, I've found that some "Christian" teachings form unnecessary hurdles, among these: 1) The Egalitarian Trinity. 2) The Inherited Sin. 3) Satisfaction and Penal Substitution Atonement...

    How can God be ok with most people going to hell?

    Welcome to the CF. When Julian of Norwich asked Jesus this question, he answered, "All shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well." In these words, I trust. The following video attempts to address this common question:

    Buddhist monks - love your enemies

    You're right. To claim that human beings have a "sin nature" is a pernicious teaching that has invaded some forms of Christianity.

    Buddhist monks - love your enemies

    You consider it a "must have" book. This is encouraging. I like it a lot. So far, I'm reading it online, but I plan to buy the new "Complete and Annotated" edition.

    Buddhist monks - love your enemies

    Are you familiar with the book "A Course in Miracles"? It was published 50 years ago and claims to be the words of Jesus. But I've only learned about it and started reading it in the last few months.

    Pray Vote Stand panelists on how Christian voters can uphold biblical principles

    Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, a free trade agreement was signed. It was called NAFTA. This was thirty years, and I was young and idealistic. At that time, I hoped the free trade agreement would gradually over the decades extend south of Mexico, even to Argentina. Improving living...
