You aren't going to find a criminal justice system that works better than the fully complete one that God recorded in scripture. It makes no difference who the people under it are or what they believe or whether they're good, evil or indifferent. The fact that it functions just as well...

Here... If you seriously think that is a rational thing to say, you need to read a book on what it means to be rational. "Dogma" and "Argument" are not synonyms. Suggesting that those who disagree with your dogma are Jehovah Witnesses is called "poisoning the well" it's a logical fallacy for a...

Okay, so right off the bat I get to tackle what seems to me like a pretty big one. I wasn't asked the following question by anyone here on TOL but it did come up yesterday and this particular issue hits close to home for me personally because one of my daughters really had a difficult time...

This thread is all about giving answers to questions from a biblical worldview and so I've placed it in the "Religion" forum, but is not intended to be limited only to biblical or religious questions. As the title indicates, feel free to ask me anything you wish on any topic you want an answer...

DANGER!!!! Seriously! This attitude sounds commendable but it is foolishness in the extreme. Let me ask you this.... (READ TO THE END BEFORE RESPONDING) Which doctrines are you required to understand? Are there any? What differentiates the doctrines that you have to make sense of vs. the...

Have I noticed? Yeah, I'd say I've noticed. It's been the single most important theme of the debates I've had on this website over the last couple of decades. And He doesn't just change operations with us. I mean, He does definitely do that and it totally counts as a change, but that's small...

Such an interpretation is understandable but when looked at more carefully turns out to be incorrect. You really should watch the video. God will indeed turn back again to Israel but we are not graphed branches of Israel's Olive tree. The analogy is imperfect but essentially, we are not...

The left redefines everything to suit their agenda. "Nazi", "fascist", "nationalist", "white supremacist", etc are all perfect synonyms according to anyone who doesn't like Christianity or anything else that resembles the traditional American mindset.

Unmerited favor is not false, just incomplete. His enemies would certainly have said He was rude. You can tell He was trying to offend people on purpose when He talked about eating His flesh and drinking His blood. The point is that He told the truth whether people wanted to hear it or not...

AOC, "the Squad", Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Hamas (and the rest of Jihadist Islam) and.... Adolf Hitler! Those demands come from the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP, or Nazi Party) 25-Point Program, first announced by Adolf Hitler in Munich...

I just listened to his teaching on... We Are Not Grafted Branches Good stuff!

The term "serving" seems to not quite fit. It is people profiting from one another, but that isn't the same thing. An economy is about mutual trade, by mutual consent for mutual benefit. If there isn't anything in it for one party, the needs or wants of the other party usually don't, and usually...

It was popular at the church I attended as well but for a different reason. It was quite a legalistic church - at least by Mid-Acts church standards.

Okay, why? Do you suppose he would agree with my essay on grace? By the way, when I looked him up, he does seem familiar. I'm pretty sure I've listened to him on occasion but not enough to even have recognized his name when you asked me about him.

I always thought that a very Calvinistic verse.

Nope. Should I?

An economy is simply the system by which people produce, trade, and consume things of value. It includes the labor, resources, and ingenuity that go into making goods and providing services, along with the exchange of those goods and services in a way that allows needs to be met and wealth to be...

Excellent point! Not only does the act of debasement contradict the idea that Caesar owned the coins, it exposes the fact that the state had to extract value from its citizens in order to function. That alone proves the coins were not just property but tools of exchange whose value was rooted...

There is no biblical definition of money and Jesus was not saying that all of Roman coinage belonged to Caesar. He wasn't even making a financial comment of any sort at all. He was outsmarting His enemies who were attempting to get Him into trouble with the Roman authorities and did so by making...

I thought for a second that you were saying this to me! LOL!!!
