Re: Christmas Day Christ Birth Celebrating

We had a Christmas service at church today, using a less formal version of the King's College Festival of Lessons and Carols . We keep the 9 Scripture readings, we change the opening prayer to be more suitable for a Mennonite church, and we use different hymns and carols to fit into our own traditio...

Re: Election Investigations

After the polls closed, vote tallys go up. This does not look right. Maybe it is, but it sure looks wrong. Are those numbers simply absentee votes being counted? In many places, they are not allowed to start counting absentee votes until after the polls close. If there's an actual irregularity, I a...

Re: Did you pay more taxes than Trump?

Or do you think it's unfair to audit Biden every year? Do you think Obama and Biden should have been allowed to hide their tax returns? See, the difference between Trump and Biden is that Temp likes Trump and therefore every negative news report against Trump isn't true and therefore (like all cons...

2) they know others are out to get them, no matter what. In elementary school, that's known as "Mommy, they're just being mean to me." It's not proof that the kid isn't lying. It generally doesn't mean that the kid is acting responsibly. It has no bearing on the facts. But it's such a com...

Re: Sexual Immorality in 1 Corinthians 6

In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul speaks to a kind of sexual immorality that would have been common in Corinth at the time. Here's what he says: “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. “Food is meant for the stom...

Sexual Immorality in 1 Corinthians 6

This is a Bible study thread, open to people who believe in simple obedience to Scripture. I would like to request that people in this thread follow these rules: 1. We will focus on this passage. We will use other threads for other passages. 2. We will start by asking and answering simple answers ab...

Re: Sexual Immorality in 1 Corinthians 5

There's one outstanding topic in 1 Corinthians 5, and it's the very difficult question of how to process someone who very much feels like he is a Christian in good standing and should be part of your fellowship, but as far as I'm concerned and the rest of my local congregants are concerned, we have...

Re: Did you pay more taxes than Trump?

If this is honest and truthful reporting. It is the NYT, so we don't really know. Especially when it comes to Trump, they seem to feel that allows for lies and distortions. Many of the claims in the article seem to easily verifiable using references contained in the article. For instance, they say ...

Re: Gender confusion

I'm in a different state. But I think my experience shows that schools or counselors sometimes do things that bypass parents, whatever the official laws are. And kids - even kids younger than 13 - go to GSA clubs without parental permission or knowledge. Ken, to me, it often feels like you are sayi...
