God is perfectly righteous. And to remain righteous, he must punish sin. And so he does this using Satan, demons, sickness, war, accidents, mayhem and whatever. He owes death and hell to every person born of Adam.
So that's the…

I view the creeds like I do this forum. A bunch of dedicated people gather around and debate what the bible says about a subject. Only on a larger scale, the creeds are the result of years of debate and refinement. And written down, yo…

I learned this along time ago on the factory floor.
I think people are like mirrors that reflect back at you. And we all have chips and cracks that reflect a distorted view of yourself. And before long, you can start seeing yourself based…

There are no other Gods. If God did not create him, who did?

You might be better off without teachers. But I notice you teach quite a bit. And I listen to and appreciate your input. But the creeds and books are no different. Some of them took lots of debate and refinement before arriving at thei…

God created Satan and uses him to carry out his wrath. He placed all of the nations under his control. He also keeps Satan alive to serve his ends. And he will send him to hell when he finishes with him.
“Now the serpent [Satan…

I'm not wrong or you would have proven me wrong by now. Saying I'm wrong does not count.

I hate to butt in, but every Christian in the NT followed the Sermon's non violence and you cannot provide even a hint that any did not.

The creeds are like books that help understand scripture. If we all get rid of our libraries and have only the bible, where would we be?

They are close but differences exist in the "eternal Sonship" in the WCF/1689 and the earliest LBC that teaches "incarnate Sonship". So they all make an interesting study.
I also recalled how the LBC omits some important info f…

I don't trust any of the present media. In fact, I haven't had a TV or radio for decades. No Talk Radio.... So I read my bible and read news excerpts from various sources not expecting too much from them.

I find some of good. But I use mainly the Westminster and supplement it with the 1644, 1646, or 1689 LBC. I also use the 1778 Schleitheim Confession where the others turn violent.

I believe the mind is like a garden. And what we plant shapes our thoughts. But we must keep our heart with all diligence. So I do not meddle with groups I don't trust.

“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:36)
God's wrath is behind all of the chaos and suffering we see in the world. This in…

If I trusted Fox News, I would take the time.

If you familiarize yourself with Reformed Theology, it forms the center of my thinking. The Baptists of the 1600s form the areas I do not agree with the Reformed on. Infant Baptism, Visible Institutional Church, etc. I am a pacifist of the Mennon…

If you research my theology, you will find it is solidly Reformed, Baptist, and Mennonite/Amish. I don't say anything not checked against the creeds in matters of theology.

I haven't looked into Science Alert so I can't say. But if the Australian Study works even a little, it is a good start.

I learned not to trust Fox News over the years. But even if there is some truth to the Australian Gun Control results, it beats what we have now.

I shudder to think of what Hell is like, knowing that all of the suffering in the world came from God's hands for sin. I believe the fear of God will drive many to Christ when they learn it is ultimately God that Jesus saves us from.

If I could find a Church I could attend with a clear conscience, I would.

I can find everything I say in the Sermon on the Mount, and throughout the NT. Nothing you preach is there..........You would have produced it by now.

Jesus abolished the Old Covenant on the cross, replacing it with the New. You are undermining him preaching violence.

You support using violence under conditions you think are justifiable. Including the overthrow of the US Government. Scripture does not allow any such thing under any circumstances.
