@MamaSaysNo1@Burgess7281975 I've thought about this myself many times, and I'm easily reminded of Samuel being confronted by the people to have their own king so they too could be worldly conformed with visible power.
I suppose without this perversion of *free will, we wouldn't see things as they are.
@MamaSaysNo1@Burgess7281975 To do so, they would have to submit to Christ's authority in His Church and I believe that is the non-starter for many based on what they believe the Church to be because of lies and historical distortions by their "enlightenment" heroes in the west, primarily.
@MamaSaysNo1@Burgess7281975 That's a good take, I too think many keep Him at arms length and invoke His name when expediency turns. In the least, they have no business lecturing others on theology.
@bikerbutter@PabloLim7@Moderatemuch Right, you continue to reply in a way that invites me into your current argument. I'm not an apologist or a historian and I'm not as charitable about it, I have wife who wants to summer prune our apple trees today and I don't have the patience to go there with you. God bless
@EllenGraha85927@joinautopilot I'm not biased one way or the other and I hope Space X does great things, just cautious given the environment right now.
@bikerbutter@PabloLim7@Moderatemuch I will continue to look into it for the rest of my life. I was where you are at theologically at a time and until the evidence against it was too overwhelming and the facade was destroyed forever. The history of the Canon is a great place to start imo.
@ThomisticDan@briankeepsworth He has a heavy burden because out of most people, he knows better. It's sad and gross that he pretends otherwise while making a career to prop up lies.
@ItsChuck66@briankeepsworth@PabloLim7 The Holy Spirit came to their house churches individually and downloaded scripture into their brains. No need for an institution, duh! ๐๐
@bikerbutter@PabloLim7@Moderatemuch If your motive for being in protest of the Church accommodates your life choices, noone should take you seriously. Intuition says you are to be held at arms length while you attack others for what you decided are sins, while having your own to contend with.
