Elon Musk, the literal richest man on the planet–the world’s first TRILLIONAIRE–is paying the SAME amount in Social Security taxes as an electrician who makes $185,000 a year.
That's outrageous.
We need to scrap the cap so the richest people in the world pay their fair share.
God said that the law isn’t difficult to keep.
Luke says John the Baptist’s parents kept them without a blemish.
Christians say that it’s impossible to keep.
Who do I believe?
A) God’s word
B) Most Christians
“Stop with the Messianic stuff! It causes division in the church! Just be a Christian and own it!”
I’m sure the Protestant Reformers heard similar words:
“Just be Catholic and stop dividing the Church!”
Not every change is divisive. Some changes are corrective.
The question isn’t whether something disrupts tradition, but whether it restores biblical truth.
Was it “bad theology” that only Aaron and his sons could priests? No daughters, no other families. Is God not allowed to say how it will be regardless of our ideas of fairness? What happened to Miriam?
Today I was “graciously” reminded that I am biblically unqualified for something.
What disqualifies me?
Am I a liar? No. A cheat? No. Abusive?Do I covet or murder? Drink too much? Nope.
My disqualification is that I am a woman.
Period.
Not my character.
My gender.
Bad theology
No Christian in the Bible went to the temple to hear the word of God on any day of the week. The Jewish believers in Jerusalem met every day in homes for teaching and also went daily to the temple.(Acts 2,3,4). The Jew/Gentile congregations met on Sunday. Acts 20:7, 1Cor 16:2
I wonder how many Christians just accept that God doesn't speak anymore except through their Bibles, and never actually studied it? Probably the same people who believe that women can't be pastors.
Not everything we Protestants do is in the Bible either. Sunday School, electric guitars, tax deductions for giving, female priests, gay clergy, televangelists, etc.
@ZachWLambert You cannot truly understand Texan laws, human rights and culture without knowing the biblical foundation of America and, indeed, Western civilization. They do not rest on the Quran.
I don’t know anybody who does not recognize the climate is changing. The big differences are between those who look at data v. those who look at (failing) models; those champion reasonable adaptations v. those who champion government money for uneconomic unsustainable energy.
@omgsidewalks It rewards persistent risking of one’s own assets and efforts. People complain about those few who eventually win big but ignore those who do not.
@Myself9752465 Who seriously thinks that me making a day trip to get a life-saving presciption for my pet at a fraction of the Canadian cost is going to sway Trump?
Salvation is by grace "through faith" and the kind of faith that saves is the kind of faith that endures. If you give up the faith you are no longer relying on the grace that saves.
As a Christian, how would you explain this: if salvation is by grace, why does the Bible repeatedly warn believers to remain faithful and endure to the end?
