    Brainwashing

    Brainwashed and indoctrinated are over used discriptions that rarely fit what they are describing. When someone says so and so is brainwashed or those people are indoctrinated, it's about dismissing them more then anything else. Kindergarten through 12th grade is indoctrination. College too...

    Pope tells us to stop the insults on social media

    In a way, I kind of blame movies, tv, an books for the increased bad attitudes. A lot of the times that's one of the trade marks attributes of the heroes of the stories to have some kind of witty or stinging comeback before (or after) they save the day, get the girl, or have a happy ending...

    Pope tells us to stop the insults on social media

    Flies are hard to insult. They just don't care. You can even try to hit them and they just buzz around then land in the same spot. Forget being insulted, they are toying with us all.....

    Radical Love

    I'm sorry for not making it clear. Let me try to explain what I meant. When I said Mexicians, I mean Mexicians. We should also love Mexicians Americians, as we love any one of our own people, same with German Americans (Americans with a German decent, or recently immigrated and became...

    Radical Love

    Some people come here because they want a better future. I can't fault them for that, but there is a point where taking in too many people in need is like taking in too many animals and not being able to feed them or care for them. Then there is the issue of safety. Many European nations that...

    Radical Love

    Love God with all your heart, your mind, and your strength.... Then later Jesus says, if you love me obey my commands. What does it mean to be obedient to God? It probabley means to love with your heart plan and act with your mind and your strength to follow through on those comands...

    Who made God?

    From reading the bible itself. When I read it on my search for God, I had the impression that God was reading it with me. Either that or the Holy Spirit, or maybe an angel. It was as if He wanted me to understand the verses I was reading. This goes in the same line of thought of the...

    The Trinity

    There's a decent amount of things to consider with God identifying Himself as male. And in the same things would have to be considered with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. For instance as we know men from women, it's a biological difference. You can see the difference and know guys have something...

    How much truth do we know?

    One can only hope that there is so much more. Think of it like this. When Jesus walked the earth there were no cars or planes. Yet today there are both of these things. In the days of the prophets they made prophesy that pointed to Jesus even to very descriptive of how Jesus would suffer and...

    The Trinity

    To PeterJens. I like the idea you pose that whatever is eternal is God. I'll have to think on that for at least a little while, but that might help me accept the Trinity a little bit better. I don't know, so I like to think on things a bit before changing a position. Kind of like letting a...

    The Trinity

    My point is that if you're searching for God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit seperately, you won't be able to distinguish between them. It's fruitless to try and say that "This came from the Holy Spirit, or from God, or from Jesus." Since they all work together and in agree in unison on everything...

    The Trinity

    How do you figure? Jesus said at least a few times that His words were not His own but were the Father's. That Jesus does the Father's will not His own. And even on the mount of olives when Jesus prayers to God, in one of the gospels Jesus begged God to not give Him this cup to drink (the...

    Who made God?

    My journey as a Christian started first with acknowledging that God is real. Then I descided to look for what is from God, meaning which religion(s) are from Him. The logic is that if God is real and He interacts with us, (answers prayer and has a few other interactions with us), then it...

    Who made God?

    How about by saying God is the source of all creation.

    Jesus Christ is Lord

    I love how God represents Himself in the bible. And He explains it in ways we can understand. God is the potter, we are the pots. God is the master, the Lord of the household God is the Father, as well as sometimes described as the husband, whereas we are described as either loyal or...

    The Trinity

    To wondering. Thank you for what you've said. I'm not leaving the thread. At least not yet. But from what I can grasp I don't think I can understand the doctrine of the Trinity. Maybe some day I will. But for now what I can offer complicated enough. •Jesus is the Son, and He and God are...

    The Trinity

    I have, and I like the biblical references of Jesus being "I Am" meaning that Jesus is God. Nonetheless, I posted some thoughts in that thread as well.

    The Trinity

    When we pray, do we pray to God the Father? Pray to Jesus the Son? Or pray to the Holy Spirit? When we worship and give thanks, or give praise, do we give worship, thanks and praise to God the Father, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit? I don't know what to say about the Trinity, because, at least...

    Who made God?

    You and I are made from the Earth. We are the dirt in a way, made from the elements from the earth. But God is not made out of dirt. No more then a potter is made of clay like the vases the potter would create. The question "who made God" from our perspective is like a clay pot asking what...

    Jesus Christ is Lord

    The concepts of the Trinity have always been a difficult topic for me to grasp. Things like "Jesus is Lord" is compared to Jesus is God," but somehow Jesus isn't the Father or the Holy Spirit. The distinction between Jesus and the Father are in the bible in a few places. Such as before going...
