@sappholives83 Jesus was Jewish.

In the standard Protestant Bible, all 39 books of the Old Testament and 25 of the 27 books of the New Testament were written by Jews.

I follow your posts and appreciate your sage perspectives. Thank you for your honesty on this particularly poignant and heart-wrenching subject—the weak link in my personal faith.

First, if God is all-powerful and all-good, why is there so much evil and suffering? Second, how can we as Christians trust God in the face of evil?

If this is of interest, here are a couple of helpful, readable books for your consideration. The first one, by Lewis, you may already have read, as it is a prominent classic.

• “The Problem of Pain” by C.S. Lewis

• “Can God Be Trusted?” by John Stackhouse Jr. (2nd edition)

All the best, Diana. Brian

@JoshuaBarzon My opinion: no. Limited to believers.

@MrAndyNgo @Savsays Lost soul. Dark heart.

On the matter of politics and wretched hearts, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn has poignant words.

@AmandaTher90734 @iamAtheistGirl Now I understand. My only caveat is to caution you not to throw out the baby (the Incarnation) with the bathwater (hypocritical, self-serving snots). Jesus himself expressed strong anger toward many of the religious of his day. Below is one clear example.

All the best, Amanda.

@AmandaTher90734 @iamAtheistGirl Hi Amanda. Not sure what you mean that there’s no such thing as false Christians. Even in the NIV Bible the header makes this assertion.

@megbasham Perhaps my favourite paraphrased passage:

[Brian Norton @BWNort]

@pureMetatron The US stands out as one of the last remaining Western countries that constitutionally protects freedom of speech—including speech some would label as “bad” speech. Says this Canadian.

Beware of progressive politicians.
Elections matter.

An Oxford prof was onto something.

[Brian Norton @BWNort]

Maybe, maybe not.

Four verses often cited giving this assurance: John 10:28-29; Romans 8:38-39; Ephesians 1:13-14; Philippians 1:6

Four verses often cited arguing otherwise: Hebrews 6:4-6; Hebrews 10:26-27; 2 Peter 2:20-22; Matthew 24:13

Importantly, what must we do to be saved? See Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9

[Brian Norton @BWNort]

@AmandaTher90734 @iamAtheistGirl Nope. Maybe dark-hearted “professing” Christians. But not authentic followers of Jesus.

• “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.”

• “But I say to you, Love your enemies.”

There are true and false Christians:
