Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist

I tend to believe there is only one standard of right and wrong, and that standard is found in the New Testament. Nonetheless, if you want to talk about what worldly figures that don’t accept Christ’s good news of peace should use as a standard of right and wrong… we have the Old Testament includin...

Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist

You sound like my Calvinist friends. 8-) Total Depravity aside, let's keep this discussion where it belongs as a conversation about general leadership, or start a thread up in the "theology" section if you'd like. Anyway, there are ethical and non-ethical moral and immoral people of all s...

Has anything good come out of there since he burned it?
The best part about Atlanta are the roads leading out of it. :mrgreen: I rediscover this every time I go the the Atlanta Farmers Market for produce.

Praying.

Clearly, openly demonstrating the way Christians should respond to these kinds of situations, showing the con...

Re: War in Gaza

Of course it assumes something in particular about the people who post. Posts can't pray, people do.
