    Daniel 11:37

    Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all Dan 11:37 I have had a thought about this passage that ties in with the identification of it with a final days Antichrist. I don't necessarily agree with the...

    Ronald Reagan's prophecy

    Woke Theology

    There are 3 main problems with today's Woke/CRT "theology" (some may not call it a theology, but it necessarily has one and it can even be seen by the fact that it has an impact in the Christian Church): 1. Definition of sin 2. The primary injured party in "sin" 3. The remedy for sin. 1...

    Romans 3:30

    Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Romans 3:30 While listening to the Book of Romans, this verse stuck out to me. The two prepositions "by" and "through" are not exactly the same - and when I checked the underlying Greek...

    Language and political correctness question

    Stumbled over an older (2018) article in The Atlantic about using the term "guys" generically : Okay to Say "Hey Guys"? Honestly, that's just a segue into my question - everyone is aware of the postmodern push to redefine and relabel according to someone's feelings (though many would say the...

    Question about virus and vaccine warnings

    It seems to me - and this is an impression - that we have been receiving constant, "up-to-date" numbers on the COVID spread. That is within a few days (and certainly within a week) of any asserted COVID event, we are being told how many people have the virus - and how many deaths there are from...

    Democrat ties to China make this a frightening reality now

    Anyone remember this from earlier in 2020? China's National Security Law And excerpts from that article (it's a Financial Post article but there are quite a few other outlets that printed similar pieces) : And more details : ... But that's just in Hong Kong and China, right? (Emphasis mine)

    Identity and the Man of Sin

    Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God...

    ECT The Sin Unto Death

    What is the sin unto death? More pertinently, how would you explain this passage : If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All...

    Why Liberals should LOVE Trump

    No. Seriously. I know I'm not a big Political poster (haven't posted anything at all in a while) but the insanity just seems to be compounding itself out there on a daily basis. And somehow I stumbled upon an article that turned on a lightbulb for me (thus, the icon associated with the title)...

    ECT Food Sacrificed to Idols

    In Revelation 2, two churches are taken to task by the Lord because of influences that lead people to eat food sacrificed to idols. To Pergamos : But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock...

    ECT Bitterness

    I hope I have your forgiveness in advance for not providing the references in this post. I don’t text quickly and am limited on time. I am more than happy to provide any references later (if requested...assuming anyone even reads this). If you look at the OT you find several notable instances...

    AMR No Longer With Us

    I haven't seen a thread about this recently, so I will post one here. I only learned this earlier this week, but Ask Mr. Religion passed into eternity on March 4th. He leaves behind a wife who is suffering with serious health issues and a son who I believe is her sole support. AMR had been going...

    Limits to Identification insanity?

    Just a thought I had...and I suspect it isn't an original one, but since insanity is the rule of the day : If people are allowed to self identify as whatever gender they feel like, why can't all those who are getting lambasted for "blackfacing" say they were identifying with being black...

    ECT Pharisees vs. disciples

    If you were alive in Jesus' day, what guarantee would you have that you would be as you are today (i.e. a follower of Christ)? How do you know you wouldn't be in the crowd yelling "Crucify Him!"? Wouldn't it be reasonable to think that you might agree with those who implied Jesus' birth was...

    George Washington and the Rule of Law

    The woes being endured by the Republic can largely be attributed to one thing - a disregard for authority and the rule of law. When the foundation laid by the Founding Fathers is exchanged for rights that were never expressed or legitimately enumerated from the Constitution - "rights" such as...

    ECT Hebrews 10:26-27 - discussion points for all major views on the passage

    For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. Hebrews 10:26-27 Another juicy topic, I think. And manageable...

    ECT Spiritual Diagnoses

    Is unbelief a pre-existing condition for everyone that comes into the world? I don't mean skepticism, but real, spiritual unbelief. Because if it isn't, then what happens to make someone become an unbeliever? But if it is, then doesn't that comport more with the idea that people need to be saved...

    What is the definition of Legalism?

    I start this thread with some trepidation. I know the rancor which seems to arise with these sorts of discussions - and it is NOT my intent to cause that. But in my experience, this is one of those topics that suffers (in part) from poor definition. So in an effort to more clearly understand it...
