Re: Artemis II

Christina Koch (describing what struck her most from space)- “Honestly, what struck me wasn’t necessarily just Earth, it was all the blackness around it. Earth was just this lifeboat hanging undisturbed in the universe...Planet Earth, you are a crew.” Made me think of Job 26:7..."He hangs the e...

Re: What happens when we die? Is there an intermediate state?

But there is that bit about the church being able to bind and loose... I would see Jesus reference to the "keys" that bind and loose (Mt 16:19, 18:18, Jn 20:22-23) as the Gospel message being accepted, as demonstrated by Peter just prior in Matthew 16:16, or rejected by the hearer of the ...

Re: The Reformed Churches Promoting...

What I hear are comments made affirming Republican values and talking points often with the assumption that I will agree and affirm them. As a person who desire to be a sinceres Christian, I agree, I can't support the Democratic Party or the Republican Party as a political solution. I can only supp...

Re: What happens when we die? Is there an intermediate state?

I also think there will be some sort of physical aspect to our "spiritual bodies" in the intermediate state since we also will receive white robes to be clothed in. Might not the white robes of Revelation be metaphorical as the fine linen is? it was granted her to clothe herself with fine...

Re: The Reformed Churches Promoting...

I have fairly wide experience with the more plain variety of CA's... Amish in several different communities, Daviess and Lancaster and they are, nearly without fail, staunchly Republican in leaning, whether they vote or not. Same with the OOM communities that I am close to in Lancaster. I can't spe...

Re: The Reformed Churches Promoting...

I think that those online voices that you named, are all trying to combat or warn against the tendencies in their own camps who are being pulled towards politics. Because virtually zero of their constituencies get pulled in the direction of Democrats, there really is no need to warn against that. I...

Re: The Reformed Churches Promoting...

I dont spend much time looking at the political trends in the Anabaptist world. So I'm here to learn in regards to the left vs right demographics of the CA. But I would say that all the current most popular CA Anabaptist podcast/ Youtube presence (Anabaptist perspectives, Sound Faith, FOTW, Strengt...

Re: What happens when we die? Is there an intermediate state?

I would tend to lean towards the thought that the scriptures reference to "sleep" is referring to "the body" between death and resurrection of our "new body" Paul says that upon death he will be "with Christ" (Phillipians 1:23) and he also states in 1st Thessa...
