Re: The Israeli state?
My perspective is that many Israelites accepted Christ and indeed created what is now the church. They were the first Christians. The unbelievers perished in 70 AD when the temple was destroyed, never to be rebuilt again. The continuation of “Israel” in the church and Christians, going all the way b...

Re: “Five-fold ministry”?
Heard someone make a comment stating that a church in their town doesn’t teach five-fold ministry. Looked it up and it references the five ministries addressed in Ephesians.

And more importantly, individuals who don’t accept Christ or who reject him won’t be saved. In this understanding it’s hard for me to see what ex...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?

Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist
Can we have a fourth option for “I disagree with your assumptions that one candidate is institutionalist and one is authoritarian”?

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
Paul Graham: The most extreme of the things you can't say would be very shocking to most readers. If you doubt that, imagine what people in 1830 would think of our default educated east coast beliefs about, say, premarital sex, homosexuality, or the literal truth of the Bible. We would seem depraved...
