Maybe this is a dumb question, but why do all (or most of) these crises that are supposed to provide the proof that we need greater gun control seem to happen at schools?

Man doesn't agree with "Pride" festivities in his own town. Man contacts billboard company (Lamar) and pays the fee to have a bible verse posted in response to these activities. Billboard company ultimately refuses ...

Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Revelation 3:11 Is this crown different from the crown of Life Christ spoke of to a church just previously : Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into...

Okay...I may not be able to live up to the promise of the title, but it captures the essence of my question. No one will deny that there is deep division in this country - at least in the political realm and in the eyes of the media. Maybe the division is simply between traditional American...

In the midst of a slew of allegations of sexual misconduct I was listening to some of the righteous indignation of some politicians who were addressing the specific charges being brought against Judge Moore. I am certain I haven't even heard them all (specifically) but have been given the tenor...

This post is primarily directed at those who believe in a pre-trib (secret) rapture - but anyone who wants to explain what they see here is welcome to respond. It's quite likely that this is a popular bone of contention, but I haven't run into it myself. I've never spent much time debating end...

The sin of covetousness is what seems to me to be the "sticky wicket" of God's requirements for holiness. In the OT, the commandments instructed that covetousness was forbidden. This is the same Law that is often thought to be devoted to externals. And it seems to me that Jesus used it to bring...

How do you interpret the parenthesis of Gen 49:24? But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) Genesis 49:24 What, specifically, is the thence referring back to?

{NOTE : This is a somewhat long post. There were too many ideas that sprung up while writing and so I had to cut some short and even ignore some other ideas. The central thought could probably be turned into a book - and it probably already has been done many times. So I don't claim originality...

Please explain why or why not you think a believer (not an unbeliever) requires a pastor, teacher, fellow believer etc... to be given a call for repentance. In other words, could a believer live a life of repentance without someone else (besides the Holy Spirit without a human intermediary)...

This may already be a talking point - I am certain it is...somewhere. But since Trump seems to trump any political discussion on this board, I thought I'd propose it here and see if it resonates (or falls flat on its face). Basically, my thought is that NK is a dirt poor country that can't...

James Woods stirs controversy with remarks about family with "gender creative" child I couldn't find this anywhere else on the site, so if I missed it and this is a duplicate post, please let me know. I'm curious what people's reaction is to this ...

This may go nowhere as a thread. I'm not really posing a (single) question as pointing something out that I hadn't seen before. So all thoughts prompted by this are welcome. The relevant verse is as follows : I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his...

Question : Is the believer's freedom a derivative freedom or an absolute freedom? Clarification : Derivative in the sense that there is still a subordination of some sort such that there is constraint that the believer is constantly aware of. Not the constraint of the sinful proclivities...

Hebrews 11 is well known for its picture of those that died in faith. It highlights many who are luminaries in the scriptures for one reason and one reason alone - they believed God. And it is also not a shocking statement to say that the bible doesn't shy away from the imperfections of these...

Peter makes the following statement : Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the...

Does God judge choices or people?

Inevitably, the argument for Universal Reconciliation (UR - sometimes known variously as Christian Universalism, Universalism, The Wider Hope, The Restitution of All Things etc...) boils down to the character and nature of God - what God would or wouldn't do. Or rather, the distinction between...

Very simple question....what do you believe this verse means : If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. I Cor 3:17
