@MikeWingerii... Stay at it. I appreciate you, and I'm praying for you. We have several Bible Thinker listeners at church. You're doing a good thing for the Kingdom of Heaven.
With @KirkCameron announcing his position on conditionalism I’m seeing a lot of people attempting to critique it. I hold to ECT, but I do understand the topic of conditional immortality and I have yet to see anyone actually give a rebuttal that shows me they’ve interacted with the arguments and biblical reasoning from the other side. To condemn conditionalism/annihilationism as heresy is to say that John Stott, Edward Fudge, F. F. Bruce, potentially even Athanasius of Alexandria, are all heretics. This is, with all due respect, ridiculous. While the position might be unorthodox it is not heresy. If you actually want to interact with someone who knows the topic reach out to my friends @datechris and/or @DanPaterson7. Both are solid, fair minded, well educated and articulate holders of conditionalism.
I will be leading our church to stop all #CP giving until the #SBC gives us full financial transparency.
Our church can show you where every cent goes with no hesitation (including my salary).
We expect no less from our Convention.
#SBC25
Congress just stood up and applauded DOGE for exposed wasteful and fraudulent programs that Congress itself funded… and plans to fund in the coming CR.
This isn’t complicated.
Separate the bills and vote on them individually.
one vote on the clean CR
one vote on the debt limit
one vote on disaster relief
one vote on farm bailouts
Radical right? Individual bills for each issue.
@Brian_Sauve I said the same thing in a sermon a few weeks ago. I told our congregation that they could rebuild the Temple spec for spec, breed a pure heifer, sacrifice it, and it would accomplish absolutely nothing.
The book of a Hebrews is a sledgehammer to this idea.
