Re: Joining a church vs Actually obeying the rules

Now I would really be curious how the parents here of 14 year-olds would respond to a 14 year-old who says: "You know, I don't particularly agree with this one specific tenant of church teaching so I'm going to stop attending." Most parents would probably have rent their garments in respo...

Re: Alistair Begg: You should go to a transsexual wedding

You must be reading a different Bible? Here is the NIV Translation of John Chapter 3 which uses quote marks to indicate Jesus' actual words. I have highlighted in blue his actual words according to this particular translation: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203&version=NIV If...

Re: Alistair Begg: You should go to a transsexual wedding

Technically the Apostle John said (or wrote it), not Jesus. But I agree with your point. :? You think John was lying when he wrote that Jesus said these words? Not at all. If you read the Gospel of John, some of it is the writings and teachings of the Apostle John. And some of it is him directly qu...

Re: Alistair Begg: You should go to a transsexual wedding

Valerie, I think you were going to go to an evening service where Alistair was going to share more on his recommendation to this lady. Did I understand this correctly ? If so, did you go and what did he say that we don't already know ? https://www.parksidechurch.com/learn/resources/media-center/ser...

Re: Alistair Begg: You should go to a transsexual wedding

My grandchild would not want me there as I'd probably be weeping. You realize that weeping may be the best testimony in this case. It may not touch anyone who is fully hardened or one whom God has "given over" to a mind devoid of reason, but it still may reach someone. I don't think showi...

Re: Alistair Begg: You should go to a transsexual wedding

There were no "born again believers" at that point. Yes, I heard that point made somewhere. :) I think Sudsy you are basing your opinion on a lot of speculation vs facts. I do know God had allowed divorce & remarriage. He never allowed gay marriage or ge MN der changes. Bottom line fo...

Re: Respect: Earning it, keeping it, getting it back?

Makes sense when the person in office is a woman I guess. ;) I don't think there is any Bible backing for the idea. Please do explain on the Bible not backing it. I'm curious on your views on this 8-) Anyone I ever met who insisted on "respect the office but not the man" it turned out to ...

Re: Today ...

Feb 23 Is it to speed up your heart or slow it down? It can only speed it up, the highs they can control with meds. This will help to keep me on the level...(so much for my bubble in the middle) Supposedly, it will help eliminate the lightheadedness and dizziness that I get from time to time. ♫Some...

Has anyone read "Grave Error" by C.P. Champion and Tom Flanagan?
