Re: Were they Christians? John 15:13

Wife: I realized after looking into the stories that I got Astor and the strauss's mixed up. I didn't actually see where Astor offered his seat to someone else, just that when his wife got on a lifeboat, he asked if he could get on it too and was told "women and children only." Doesn't mea...

Re: Were they Christians? John 15:13

Wife:There’s always the possibility that the Astors and many other people on the Titanic might have chosen to get right with God while on a sinking ship, and Straus could have chosen to follow Jesus. This act itself, brave as it may be, would not be enough to get someone into heaven, and there are ...

Re: Pilgrim Mennonite Conference current events

So, a couple of complaints. Solo, we’re you around when Pilgrim split? If not, that does not mean you can not understand, but realize your gained knowledge is inherently biased by your sources. Bias is inevitable. I can only do what I can do. Speaking with ordained from that time both in Eastern, w...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?

I find it really fascinating that Pres Biden is both the evil leader manipulating and lying his way through everything yet so incompetent to do anything due to cognitive decline that he is a puppet being manipulated behind the scenes. If it’s cognitive decline, people should feel compassion that he ...

Re: Failed: Pastor Shooting Attempt - Western PA

What do you mean? I haven’t watched the video. The assailant was restrained and then another man came over and removed the firearm from the assailant. Like taking a sharp object from a student "You might hurt yourself with this." I would have no problem taking a dangerous item from someon...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree

Should we trust this kind of accusation without facts? Is making this kind of claim without evidence a way to pursue truth? Beyond that, if so much of of our energy goes into name calling, ad hominem attacks, responding to tone, and taking offense, where is the energy for actually discussing and un...
