Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?

So yes, you can round people up off the streets and detain them for violating vagrancy laws, but you can't actually send them to work camps unless you first put them on trial and convict them and the hard labor is part of their actual sentence. That might be possible in some cases, but most of the ...

Re: The Israeli state?

The true Israel today is neither Jews nor Israelis, but believers in the Messiah, even if they are Gentiles ..." If I were writing this, I would say "The true Israel is believers in the Messiah, whether they are Jews, Israelis, or Gentiles." 1. Deleting "today" because this...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries

And the price of gasoline also doesn't account for all the externalities that it causes from smog and particulate pollution, respiratory diseases and so forth. Similarly, the promoters of electric power typically neglect the negative effects of producing batteries, solar arrays, and grid power. But...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?

I am confused though. Even though I agree with you, why did you bring this up in this thread alone, and not in the numerous other threads about the other presidential candidate? I sincerely would like to know. Perhaps it's worth noting that the scripture instructs us to pray for those who are in au...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

Yes, I think it is odd that some 'people who can't understand what an enemy is' as they don't seem to believe we can have enemies that we can love. These would not be 'friends' either. But I think the argument for Christians to be involved in killing of people in war is when one does not have a hat...

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?

Interesting. I believe City Light would be Charity, right? There's an old thread on the subject, here . It starts with this question: What denomination is City Light Christian Fellowship in Waynesboro, PA? ... and currently ends with a mention of Max's age, for those with calculators . Max, did you...

Re: Preach it Bro !

This reply ' You are not authorized to read this forum.' doesn't make any sense to me as I can read any forum just by not logging on. I still can't find where my original thread post went but that is OK now that we have it here under the Spoken Word sub forum. I get more easily confused in my old a...

Re: Preach it Bro !

I have tried to find out what happened to this thread but am not getting replies so I will try again as although this is not an Anabaptist preacher, I believe his message is what many Anabaptists would say 'amen' to even if it is under their breath. I had received one 'like' before it disappeared. ...
