This is an article written before the last election when Trump made an abortive attempt at running for the Presidency : Trump's Crime Ties This is a man Jerry Fallwell Jr. endorses (along with a huge mixed bag that includes everyone from Phyillis Schlafly to Dennis Rodman to Vladmir Putin...).

How dependent are we on Christ's righteousness for salvation and growth up into Him?

Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that...

Allow me to say up front that the academic nature of my question does not indicate a coldness to this girl's condition. But if salvation is about meeting emotional needs, then we should all simply preach a social gospel and worry more about feelings than spiritual condition. I use this article...

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Rev 3:20 1. What door is Jesus knocking on? 2. Is there any importance to the fact that He is knocking? Is this just a rap on the wood? 3. Is...

I have never forayed into the abortion debate so why I am now (if this can even be said to getting in the debate), I can't say. It may have something to do with the persistent defense of a group that exists almost solely for the purpose of performing abortions - even in light of all the...

Once upon a time, Hollywood had the general aim of uplift and entertainment (and some escapism)...today the general aim has been lowered to one of titillation and pandering (I won't argue this point myself but accept it as background to the question). But every now and then a film has come...

I have used Yahoo for the longest time, but the articles that it hosts are often mind-numbing for their poor research and sometimes laughable grammar. I chose it years ago simply because I didn't want anything to do with Google. I like Yahoo's layout but am tired of the nonsense. What homepage...

Is this a fair picture of conditional security (as it works itself out)? Picture a man walking down a long, dark, rocky road beset with thieves, murderers and wild beasts. He has a weight on his back that he has to carry around with him everywhere he goes. He has to keep moving. To settle down...

It's a feature length documentary on some of the serious problems experienced with so-called "smart meters" - including some of the serious concerns raised. Note that it is free until midnight Dec. 1st (after which you have to pay for a copy of the DVD): Take Back Your Power

What was actually, really and practically accomplished at the cross? If no one was ever saved, what could be said that was vitally and practically accomplished on Calvary 2000 years ago?

Based on reading Romans 1, can it be said that sexual immorality is a (semi-) direct consequence of (persistent) idolatry? If so, does it have to be idolatry writ large or can it be less obvious idolatry? Assuming the positive, is it a fair leap to make that this was the reason that the...

Listened to what I thought was a lovely version of one of my favorite hymns on YouTube - Holy, Holy, Holy - and can't (for the life of me) find who it is singing this. Can anyone offer any help here? Acapella Version of Holy, Holy, Holy

What's going on here? I honestly don't know that I ever remember thinking about this passage. I'm sure I've read it (years ago) but I read it as though for the first time last night : Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: And they saw the God of...

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14 Straightforward questions : 1. What is the glory of the Son? 2. What is meant by the glory as of the only begotten? 3. Is the...

...not (necessarily) universalism - though that may be argued to be one of the logical outworkings of the belief - but that Christ died for every person who ever lived and ever will live. The first thing is that it seems to me this view requires that Christ died only in hope. The idea that God...

Jade Helm - the military exercises taking place in many Southwestern and Western states - allegedly have seen people forcibly imprisoned and/or chipped with RFID trackers. Specifically, Clint TX : Forced Chipping part of Jade Helm? EDIT : Please note that it looks like this may be a scam. I...

Playing off of Tambora's thread about songs with "mother" or "mama" (etc...) in the title, I was put in mind of a song that had to do with fathers. So to start off this thread, I offer Phil Coulter's poignant (and sometimes touching) The Old Man GQnhDBiTjvg And for those that care...this is...

I'm not promoting this view, but the thought occurs to me that this would be consistent with dispensational distinction between Israel and the church... Doesn't dispensationalism generally (and MADism more specifically) lend itself to Preterist eschatology? That is, if there is a gospel for the...

While listening to a popular minister on the radio yesterday (who was preaching on resurrection), the thought occurred to me that sonship is spoken of by Paul quite a bit but by John only a couple times. I was led to this when the minister quoted Paul on sonship and I was thinking in parallel of...
