If you are saying that the simple fact of owning another man is unjust then you must also assert that Roman slavery was unjust, for they, too, practiced human bondage. As far as the mistreatment of slaves, I agree it is wrong, but it does not chang the obligation of the slave to obey the master.
The only reason we think slavery is such a horrid evil is because we are so full of pride we don't like the idea of another man telling us what to do. Well tell me this, if God sees fit, in His providence, to make me subject to another man, who am I to complain of it? The anti-authority mentality that spawned the abolitionist movement is the same mentality that spawned the feminist movement, the 'children's rights' movement, and the 'sexual revolution' - aka hippy movement.
Darwin is another word for evolution. The human genome project does not say what you think as I have linked. Nor does Miller's claim about DNA stand up to modern science. Science confirms Scripture. Actually, evolution is devoid of scientific confirmation.
You have no clue what science is.
This is the scientific test for evolution.
1. Take primate.
2. Make Human.
Have you done that?
No?
Then you haven't proven anything other than you're another snake oil salesman.
Interesting how some "open minded" evolutionist audio bombed the video in the OP of this thread.
It's what people resort to when they cannot refute the point being made.
How many times are we told by evolutionists that black holes result from the compacting of stars many times larger than our sun into the size of a basketball?
The galaxy and the universe are far larger than the biggest star...
So we are supposed to believe that simply because everything is fanning out across the universe that it all started at a single small point?
This is where the fairy tale audio bomb needs to be!
Grab two handfulls of sand. Throw it up into the air and watch it scatter!
Now according to evolutionists... this is evidence that the sand you flung into the air started at an infinitesimally small point (smaller than one of the grains of sand) and everythi8ng else came from it...
Sadly they call this science.
Even sadder, they call what they force on everyone "education."
The scientific method is not exclusively limited to but generally limited to repeat experimentation / observation.
If the THEORY of evolution was a merited as those who buy into believe, it would have been the LAW of evolution a long time ago. Evolutionists will state for the record it's not even a good theory.
Unfortunately, with at least two states that have legalized homosexual marriages, other states are bound to follow. They won't want to seem unloving and prejudicial. I've been called prejudiced because of my stand against homosexuality. If I'm prejudiced then so is God, for He has said in His word that men with men and women with women is not natural. Rom. 1:27
Allowing these perverts to adopt children or even to keep their own is definitely child abuse. It confuses them and warps their innocent minds. They're rejected by peers who have a real mother and father, instead of two mothers or two fathers.
It doesn't have to be nudity to be pornography. It is the thoughts that the images provoke that make it sinful, thus porn.
It is the Left that demonizes people they disagree with. Fascism is an ideology that believes in the total control of society. Political correctness is one of it's spokes. You see this in the social justice movement and in higher education.
Apparently the down stream fish evolved into a new breed of fish. This demonstrates the weakness of which hypothesis?
So a fish "evolved" into a fish? That's not the claim of Darwinism (a term widely recognized in the scientific community as a valid description of evolution), and it's not the way that "evolve" is typically used. "Evolve" has a much more loaded meaning.
The Bible is fully consistent with fish "evolving" into other kinds of fish. However, Darwinism teaches that fish evolved into other kinds of animals, something completely unproved by science.
those who think they are defending poor homosexuals from mean ole Christians are condoning and affirming and accepting it as a good lifestyle or worst. if you have that position you may want to ask the moderator if you should even be posting here. you do not do any homosexual any favor by placing their exceedingly sinful lifestyle as any less then the abomination it is.
[The Ugandan law against homosexuality is an abomination and it demeans basic human rights.]
You're saying people have the right to be homosexuals?
Are there any socialist countries that have maintained robust free speech rights and freedom of religion? I can't think of any. It seems the trend of all socialist countries is to curb speech and/or religion to some extent. China is an extreme example, while what you see in England is the start of a slippery slope.
So I wonder, why would any thinking Christian ever support socialism? It is beyond me.
In fact, all our technology we use here and that has been helpful to us is totally unrelated to the knowledge of the heliocentricity of the solar system. Assuming the sun orbits the earth would not impeded the development of medicine, chemistry, or airplanes nor American liberty.
As far as any real benefit to mankind, it seems the knowledge of heliocentricity is useless.
[Regarding Obama's plan to end the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.]
["How will this destroy the military?"]
Homosexuality destroys all that it invades whether the family, the state, or the church. This move is just one more step in an attempt to legitimize homosexual conduct under force of law and to make heterosexual people accept it. A society that does not openly understand and condemn homosexual conduct but, instead, gives aid and support to its advocates in an accomplice to the sinfulness of it. We will suffer because of it. If you've served in the military you will probably understand how this will adversely effect that institution. I don't think I can explain it appropriately in this forum.
Don't athiest always point fingers at Christanity and mention the diversity of beliefs as proof there isn't a god? I wish to do the same thing to them as proof that there is a god...
According to Jesus, there is only one reason why a divorce is correct and that has nothing to do with abuse. Do you really believe that Jesus was ignorant of this problem?... Didn't God give us brains to determine what is right and wrong?
[re: Newlywed Game show has first gay couple]
There is only so much outrage one can voice before they have to realize that there is a bigger issue at play.
I don't care that this game show has decided to host a homosexual couple. I really don't. I'm no longer surprised, I'm no longer outraged...I just am surprised it hasn't happened yet.
Most Americans are opposed to homosexuality and even more to homosexual marriage. Yet the media doesn't care, they have pushed their agenda. Look at most of new shows out, homosexual couples are completely in the mix. The media elites don't care about your voice, your wallet, or your letters. They are deadset on pushing their culture.
For most Christians and citizens they realize this conundrum and just ignore the issue. At this point the media elites are running the issue into the ground. Yet they haven't really changed public opinion.
I knew that topic would get some people's attention. But listen to where I am coming from. Since all people are born of a sinful nature, we are all inclined to sin. That sin could be lying, stealing, lust, homosexuallity, ect. If a homosexual tells you "I was born this way", why argue with them? It doesn't go against the Bible to agree with them on that point. Just because you are inclined or tempted to sin doesn't make it right. Jesus was tempted, but didn't sin. God won't give us more than we can handle. He wouldn't allow people to deal with homosexuallity if they couldn't handle it. They can still say, even if they are tempted to live such a lifestyle, no. At least with God's help. So don't argue with someone on homosexuallity where you can't even get to the gospel. Just show them that we all are sinners in need of a savior and that when God saves us, he will give us a new heart with new desires. We can trust God because he cannot lie. That may mean God either
1.) takes away the homosexual temptation completely or
2.) gives you the desire to do what God wants and resist homosexual temptations.
My point is that we are to love our neighbors, even if their particular sin problem is different from ours and rather than debate that intellectually, speak to their conscience. They know what is right even if they don't practice it.
Under these circumstances, the man would have fully repented of homosexuality and would wholly reject the label 'abstinate homosexual' but rather 'former homosexual'. In short, anyone who considered themselves a 'homosexual', abstinate or active, would not be fully repentant and therefore not qualifed to minister.
[Regarding Obama's decision to have an openly gay Bishop at his inauguration ceremony.]
This is only the beginning of what we will get with Barack Hussein (we can say that now) Obama. Barack is perverted in a large way. Between homosexuals and abortion this country will take a turn for the worst.
[Regarding homosexuals serving in the military.]
["If these patriots want to serve our country they should have our support.
I'm sure we would not approve of a lot of the bedroom behaviors of our heterosexual soldiers but they too deserve our love, support and prayers."]
Your mistake is to think that homosexuality is simply about bedroom behavior. And the homosexual agenda of being accepted into the military isn't about being a patriot. It is only about forcing the acceptance of their ungodly behavior on the country. There is nothing patriotic about homosexuality. As far as deserving our love, prayers and support two out of three are correct. They deserve our love and prayers as any lost person who is headed for hell does. They do not deserve our support. And such a suggestion is most likely against the posting rules of this board.
Do you live in a cave? The agenda is to make society accept homosexuality as normal and good.
Have you noticed that
...anyone who thinks homosexuality is immoral is called a "homophobe" and has "narrow views?"
...books and magazines extolling gay behavior are easy to buy or find at the library, whereas before, they weren't?
...there are programs in schools to teach children that homosexuality is okay (this has been going on for over 10 yrs. in my area) and that gay marriage is okay?
...the more extreme and bizarre fringe of the gay culture is now more acceptable or at least not as shocking to people?
....that many once conservative churches (not to mention the liberal ones) accept homosexual couples as members, and more churches are ordaining them as ministers?
So for me, the jury is out on Jack Chick. At best, he is a guy who has done much to expose the ultimate evil in our world (the Vatican and the forces of Satan in our government).
I agree. It is practice.
If we killed any US resident who spoke poorly against President Biden (while serving as POTUS) imagine how kinder our political system would look.
If we would kill adulterers just think how stronger a family unit we would have.
If we would kill women who lied about being virgins imagine how much more pure our youth would be.
If we killed any child who cursed at a parent think of how well behaved our children would act.
If we killed anybody who advocated another religion imagine how Christian our culture would be.
If we killed all homosexuals then think how less crazy the world would be.
[in response to "First 'Gay Weddings' in UK"]
In order to bring a few more thoughts into this discussion let me explain that in the 1960s both Abortion and Sodomy were legalised. About that time we had a serious outbreak of Foot and Mouth disease; we then had nearly 30 years of IRA terrorism; when this died down we had another Foot and Mouth epidemic. Once that passed we had Al Qaeda and 7/7. I cannot help thinking that GOd has permitted these calamities as a judgement on the UK. If that is the case then we are in for a terrible time; I have this awful sense of foreboding that a catastrophe is about to strike in this country.
As opposed to the Anti God Democratic party, Putin is an improvement. He seeks to create a strong state church and the Democrats seek to destroy the church in the United States. I'll take Putin over Joe, Chuck, and Nancy.
The theory of evolution hinges on the thesis that new genetic material is created all the time providing advantageous conditions for an organism to have a better chance of survival.
Mutations happen all the time. However, mutations are always disadvantageous and result in cancers and tumors. This is because you only need one thing to go wrong for a harmful mutation and you would need thousands (tens of thousands) of things to go right in one particular cell to produce an advantageous mutation. It would also have to be in a reproductive cell to be heritable.
In the 150 years since Darwin no one has observed a single favorable heritable mutation.
Genetic material is lost, no new genetic material is created. In 150 years how many species have gone extinct versus how many new species have been created.
Jesus had no genetic code from any sinful human. Like Adam, God made new flesh for Jesus and incarnated Jesus into Mary. It is fruitless and pointless to speculate on the skin color of Jesus. He is the I Am in human flesh.
Vaccines are the mark of the beast
There's no such thing as transphobia, or transexual, or homosexual for that matter. There is marriage, and there is sodomy.
And violence is the sister of sodomy. Just ask Lot.
God is judging our nation.
Democrats are "winning" in deep red areas because they are harvesting mail-in ballots from voters sitting on their couch or living with their mommies.
IMO Republicans will never be competitive so long as mail-in voting continues. Voting should require effort. If you can't be bothered to get off your rear and go vote then you don't get to vote.
Other unpopular items that are needed to fix things:
-Repeal the 19th Amendment
-Only landholding (house, condo, raw land) males are allowed to vote
-Must be a productive member of society, not on welfare to vote
Until these actions are taken:
-women will continue to vote to murder babies, and go soft on tranny and gay discipleship
-Renters will vote for rent relief and destruction of property rights
-Welfare consumers will outvote the members of society that are paying for their welfare
No matter which side you see as righteous in this conflict, one sad fact remains. Blood is being needlessly shed because weak people in the USA, due to a Scamdemic, allowed the worst POTUS in the history of our nation to be put in office. This blood shed is on Joe and all who voted for Joe. The Ukranian and Taiwanise death warrants were signed the day Joe showed absolute weakness in Afghanistan. To all you Democrat voters, this blood is on you.
Seems a big topic nowadays, especially for "Progressives" (Communists) is climate change/global warming.
I believe it's an "act of God", same as global warming/cooling of the past. If man was gonna cause global warming, it woulda been in nthe hundred years between 1845 & 1945, when prodigious amounts of fossil fuels & wood were burned for uses ranging from home heating to steelmaking. There are still some old buildings & trees in England blackened from coal soot. During both World Wars, massive amounts of air pollution were released from gunpowder explosions of all types, as well as from huge fires caused by bombilg & artillery. In WW2, a bomber often burned 5000 to 8000 gallons of fuel on one mission, with many millions averaging 300 or more aircraft-not mto mention petroleum-based fuels used by other military vehicles and ships. But yet, much of Europe saw severe winters in 1944 & 45 when the effects of all that air pollution shoulda been at their worst!
I believe that global warming is part of God's plan for the end times & will contribute to the "great trib" that'll hit the whole world, as Jesus' return approaches. I don't believe man can do a thing about it.
What are YOUR opinions?????????????????????????????
In other words, if you fulfill your duties as a Christian Husband, and have a good relationship, then you're abusive. I happily fit numbers 1 thru 12.
I will correct my wife if there is an issue with who she is listening to. My wife was listening to Beth Moore one day after Mrs. Moore chose to preach to men. I shut that down right away, false teachers will not teach my family nor wife, and God will hold men accountable who allow that in their family. I will sometimes override my wife's opinion on the clothes my toddler daughter wears if I feel it is not conservative enough. She don't need to be wearing no short shorts and don't need to be getting into that habit. I've done the same with my wife when we were first married and she wanted to wear yoda pants in public. Those are bedroom clothes. If them tight fitting pants enticed a man, which they would, then I would rightly be held responsible by the Lord.
Likewise my wife has full access to monitor my online usage of the internet as there's so much in the area of lust that I am susceptible to and it's easy to access online. I have software that takes random screenshots at all times, combined with algorithms that take screenshots anytime the algorithm detects something "suspicious" on-screen.
The trans army is there, and they are attempting to overthrow all who stand against it.
Their favorite weapon of choice in this war is men dressing up as women who then read to confused children and tell the children that if they feel confused they need to mutilate their reproductive organs. They don't need to fight us, they just need to brainwash our children.
Other weapons they love to employ consist of the legal system, cancel culture, and woke limp-wrist, spineless Evangelicals that are asleep at the wheel. See Russel Moore, and Tim Keller for examples of the latter.
I personally would not have held slaves. I would not have preached AGAINST it, though, and would have supported missionaries taking slaves with them to the field.
Reality is NOT limited to our scientific understanding of nature. Events are not always the results of naturalistic processes. The early founders of science knew this. They recognized science for what it was, a tool to study the creation of God, not a tool to make the creation god. In the real reality, there are supernatural forces at work— just like the Bible says. They are usually very subtle and not apparent at all, but they are there. Again I think that dowsing is occultic and does NOT come from God, even though I have known Christians who practiced it (but I can’t help but wonder why).
The Democrat Party is trying to abolish the Bill of Rights. They are running Joe Biden, accused of rape and known to put his hands all over little girls, and they are using their ignorant reporters to smear honest people just as Mussolini used to beat respectable people up and then pour liquor all over them to discredit them. The media is like the NBA--they take their marching orders from the Chinese Communist Party. Yeah, this Chinese Virus is essentially defeated but our 50 Governors are still washing their hands and asking what the truth is.
There is nothing left from before Noah's Flood of 4,300 years ago so there is an error in dating anything before that.
God's ways do not have to be justified to our fleshly minds. Looking upon the outward appearance infants certainly seem to be innocent--to us. But God looks upon the heart. It is the heart of sin that dooms us.
You can disagree with me, or choose to be ignorant about the books, but please don't call me a liar, that really ends any discussion I would have chosen to have with you since you obviously will not take things at face value, even those you have no ability to dispute with facts. I can only report what I experienced. And some Wiccan groups did praise the books as a children's primer to Wicca.
Biological evolution has been proven to be mathematically/scientifically impossible. I have linked the May article in my signature. Put simply there are 20 amino acids that make up DNA and the average strand of DNA has 250 molecules of amino acids arranged in an exact manner. So the math is 20 x 20 x 20 x 20, etc. till there are 250 such multiplications, or 20 to the 250th power, Calculate that for all the types of DNA in the world and you can quickly see that it just can't be done. Mutations in DNA mean loss of information and can lead to early death. The fossil record clearly shows that all life forms were present in the Cambrian layer. Darwin just is scientifically impossible.
Still feeling the repercussions of the Phelps team here in Casper to erect a monument 'celebrating' five years since the murder of [Matthew] Shepard and his 'entering into hell'. Everyone knows the general details. Shepard was a sodomite whore...
Unless the Bible is literally true, Genesis to Revelation, doing science is pointless. Science relies on the Christian worldview, and a true Revelation, for its own validity.
Atheist scientists who deny Christianity with their lips, nevertheless believe it in their hearts (Romans 1), and rely on it for their science.
Science does not oppose Christianity. Science, whether admitted or not, is undergirded by, dependent on, and senseless without Christianity, and the literal revelation of God to man.
Who cares? Covid ihas turned into nothing more than an election rigging scam. One of my customers owns 7 funeral homes. He said it sure is strange that 90% of the bodies he is getting died if Covid. He said its its stranger that no one is dying of anything else. No cancer. No strokes. No heart attacks. Everyone is dying of Covid. Less bodies this year than same time last year, but we are in a pandemic? Yeah, right......
Seems like Covid cured Cancer, heart disease, and everything else.
Also, Trump did not want the suicidal transgenders in the military because it is so expensive to cope with their medical demands.
There is absolutely no support for an old earth view.
Covid is an attack on the United States Constitution unleashed by Communists abroad and the Communists among us (Democrats).
There is trouble with Egyptian dating. I think that those in favor of correcting the chronology are winning the scientific debate. Egyptian history is much shorter than previously thought.
At any rate, the Genesis Flood was 4300 years ago. And you are correct that nothing survived the flood.
