Looked at black lives matter website. Several things were listed on it including the thing about disinformation being rampant about BLM. However at the top of those things was a message to defund the the police. While at the bottom of the page was advertising two BLM shirts.
These two...
If you can't tell the difference between the two, it doesn't matter if one group is the real BLM and worth supporting and another group is not BLM and spreading lies.
If they appear to be the same group, then do not trust either. The protests that continue to harbor violence and theft are...
Black lives do matter. But the movement BLM, I don't trust it. Like Jerry said, they don't speak out against abuses that are done on BLM movements. They don't hold themselves accountable so why should we trust them. Many of them also have taken a stand that I disagree with that continue a...
Hello Mozo, and welcome.
Something you said reminds me of some other things I've heard elsewhere. Reminds me of someone I've talked to that is Hindu.
Hope to hear where your perspectives are coming from if they aren't Christian, though you've studied the bible. But if you don't want to say...
Stereotypes, negitive experiences, and common ground. I think these are the foundations of racism, sexism, prejustice against those of a religion, or any other kind of prejustice, (including just groups like jocks and band geeks in high school).
The stereotypes fuel racism the easiest, because...
Best I can tell, it's talking about long term effects of profiling in different parts of society. And Being in a economic safe place comparatively. Being trusted more based on skin color for jobs, or from contact with autborities on the profiling aspect. Having a way of life that is richer or...
There are some scholarly thoughts on the bible being edited and tweeked over the years. Mand that supports the idea that God's word yesterday might have been different then it is today. However I believe the other way. That God can and has protected His messages to us in the bible. That and...
You have to start somewhere. Enforcement of abortion starts with punishments for abortion. Start on the doctors and clinics that provide abortions and they will quit once there is a cost for continuing the practice.
The unfortunately thing is that abortion is an industry. It's been very...
I agree with a lot of what you've said, such as showing our love for Jesus by obedience. However I don't think it's that cut and dry for every Christian. At least it isn't for me. To be confident in my hope of salvation and to not worry about it. It's true that God is my greatest hope, and...
Jesus told the parable of the Pharasee and the sinner to distinguish a difference between proud arrogance, and humble repentance. In my opinion repentance is an action we are given to do. A work if you will.
I don't think there's a lot of information out there for living by the Holy Spirit. In fact I've heard the opposite more often then not of knowing what's from God and questioning whether a person's actions and beliefs are their own and misguided, or are from God.
In fact you hear enough things...
I'm not saying it isn't a real thing, but what I was saying was that I remember a verse in the bible that speaks against the practice of marrying sisters, (I had to look it up, it's Leviticus 18:18), but I don't remember seeing a verse in those laws about having only one wife.
Nonetheless...
I don't want polygamy in the US, but as far as it being a sin. I'm not so sure that is a sin or that it ever was a sin. In Israel if a woman becomes a widow before having children, it was a responsibility of one of her husband's brothers to marry her for the sake of her having a child...
To Fastfredy0,
Look at my last comment, it's just before the reply you've just made. This might explain better what it could mean to have God in control without controling everything.
On that note though. Regardless how much God is in control, or how much He controls, there is one challenge...
If I can WIP, I have a possible comparison for what I think your talking about. Might help the discussion for God being in control but not controlling everything. If this comparison isn't what your talking about let me know. I'm not trying to put words in your mouth.
Regarding being in...
The big picture though is that God's sovereignty is part of my hope for both the world and for myself. For both struggles in this life, and hope in the next one. The worry about salvation I think has it's moments in many Christians lives, but if you don't worry about it then you must have a...
Free will aside, God's sovereignty is both a heart warming hope, and a hell fire worry. In the end He is either our Father who's love welcomes us into His heavenly home, or He is the head judge who knows all of our sins.
That's where our free will comes into play. Without Jesus, our free will...
What I meant wasn't that atheism is bankrupt. It's that it's nothing at all. It's not a world view. What it is, is a describer for not holding a belief, not holding a view. What that means is that anyone who says they are atheist have to get their values and morals from somewhere else...
