One thing I keep urging her to do is to simply read the Bible.
Homosexuality can stand in the presence of loop-hole, easy-going, watered-down Christianity, but it cannot stand by one who truly reads the Word and yields to the Spirit who inspired it.

Caesar decided to remove the statues. It's our job to respect that, is it not?

It's awfully easy for me to respect removing statues of heinous folks... Why are so many Christians struggling with respecting authorities when it comes to their decision to remove some old hunks of metal??

Of interest, being in the South- Most of the Christian folks I know are open to denounce racism when discussing these kinds of events, but they usually follow up immediately with "but we shouldn't rewrite history". Really? Is an expensive hunk of metal synonymous with history? Read a book ...

Weird thought.

Obviously one could argue the point that Christianity is indeed a culture (or at least subculture), but what I'm talking about is the deliberate clinging to ethnic and social cultural aspects. Our identity is supposed to be in Christ- not the geographical region of Europe from which we came, not our...

Cultural identity is something I really see of no value in for those in the Faith.
It seems that most/ all CA groups have an excessively large cultural component, and I can't say I'm a fan.

I met an ex-Catholic (now ex-Christian) this summer.
He said something that the "holy bread" of communion is, and must be, blessed by the priests. Is this true?
