Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

An associate of mine (who had posted here before) informs me that BMA is experiencing a heavy Reformed influence… some members are leaving to join Reformed churches. Other members see no problem at all in even 5 point Calvinism. Meanwhile, BMA itself has taken strong stances against Reformed doctrin...

Re: Automotive: One Man Engine Drop

Vehicles indeed are out of much of Gen Z’s price range, let alone the cost of repairs. Gen Z doesn’t have $40,000 lying around to buy a generic new car.

Re: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.

How well do Mr. Butker's beliefs around family align with Catholic thought? I'm not an expert on Catholicism but hasn't their position always been people are blessed to pursue callings of service over creating families.

Re: HPV and Cancer link

Per one of my friends new in town, Hopkins peds. will not accept new patients for well child care unless the patient's parents are willing to vaccinate as per the CDC schedule.

Re: HPV and Cancer link

Refusing a potentially lifesaving vaccine is sin. I am calling it out. It is no different than failing to treat any other illness you come across. It is doing harm.

Re: HPV and Cancer link

Ken, People who engage in fornication eventually are punished with eternal torment unless they repent. Incurable, painful STDs are just a foreshadowing of that. If your children ever get cancer I'm sure you will be happy to tell them and their children this very thing. That it is God's will that th...
