@BraddrofliT The blindingly obvious difference is that guilty people
receive death penalty, innocent babies are aborted. False (or dishonest) equivocation.
@LoisPerry26 Actually, well done for standing up. If people had protested years ago it might not be in the state it’s in- it usually follows the old lesson of how to boil a frog… perhaps 🤔 in this case the frog jumped out
@LoisPerry26 Make sure it’s truly a bible believing bible teaching church… I’m so glad for our fellowship. Once you have that you’ll never look back. Praying for you!
I wasn’t going to respond to Candace publicly, but I was genuinely hurt by her accusation that I don’t care about who killed Charlie because I expressed concern for the lives of people who have been implicated in her series on CK’s murder.
That couldn’t be further from the truth. Charlie was my friend. He encouraged me, prayed for me, championed me and gave me advice when I needed it. We linked arms for the gospel, and I miss that so much. I very much care about justice for him.
But you know who cares about justice for Charlie far more than any of us? His family. His friends and colleagues who were with him every day. I trust that they are asking the right questions to the right people in the right way. That they are doing so in a manner that doesn’t stir up suspicion against innocent people. In a way that doesn’t hinder the actual investigation into who was involved in Charlie’s murder. I want to see due process play out uninhibited.
And, yes, I do feel deeply for those who have been unfairly maligned by implications of guilt. That’s really scary, serious, and wrong.
Most of all, I care about how Christians seek truth. “Just asking questions” isn’t a justification for slander. The God who created us and weighs our words has a lot to say about how we speak and what we seek.
Today’s episode:
@MikeWingerii Weak.purpose of book is clearly not this. It’s to prove Gods providential care over his people even In disobedience. We wouldn’t bring principles from the king aim his treatment of his wife in chapter 1 or his choosing of a new wife. Or him being bought by Haman in ch3.9.
@AshFarms 1. There is more than one Bible? 2. Jesus came to America? Simple answer is no to both. If they both came from the same source it was probably from a Mormon. Mormons are not orthodox Christians- their view of God,Jesus&salvation is totally different. Stick to John to start with:)
@AshFarms 2) Johns gospel was written to searchers who weren’t yet Christians. It was written to set out to them just how great Jesus is and how you can have life in Him. do the 3 week challenge. Read 1 chapter a day, asking God 1.Who does it say Jesus is? 2. What does it say for me to do
@AshFarms And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. 20:30-1
How important are fathers when it comes to influencing their children:
"How do Christian parents succeed in passing on their religious convictions to their children?
A 35-year longitudinal study asked that question. And it found two things that were surprising.
One, fathers matter more than mothers. If the father is committed to his faith, the children are more likely to follow him.
In short, fathers wield influence, whether they want to or not.
Of course, mothers also have influence, but not as much. My female students say that’s not fair. And I say, I’m sorry, it’s a fact.
The second finding was that, to have that influence, the father has to have a warm, loving relationship with the child.
It doesn't matter if he was a leader in the community, a pillar of the church, a moral exemplar. If he is perceived as cold and distant, his children will not follow him."
Was the Apostle Paul the evangelist you watched the other day, @johnmacarthur?
