ILSM, certainly some confirmation bias applies here, given the number of politicians that are out there. I wouldn't expect to hear too much from the way of the honest ones.
I've been seeing a lot of people assign blame, but it's just one of those things that just...happened. A very fluky accident. But it's very tragic that someone is going to grow up without a father because of it.
Just out of curiosity...got a favori…
In the context of the verse he was showing the disciples the little child who He said we must be like in order to enter the kingdom of heaven, so young children are the "little ones" He refers to. So if you think about it, young children are the mos…
I would at least try to narrow it down to the courses where it would be difficult to "twist" history and the scriptures. The ones you listed seem pretty all right; personally I think I would really enjoy the one on the prophets or on St. Paul,
In most cases, non-Egyptians are treated just fine but on some occasions, people will be people (just ask Ioannes). However, those types of people are not an accurate representation of Christ, nor His church.
Mine is St. Moses the strong, who I also found/he found me from a personal experience. I wrote him a letter and he received it via rush delivery, and he answered it quickly.
I can kinda relate with you on this one, Ioannes. What I hate is how much of a politically correct society we live in, where it gets to the point that there are certain things you can't say, even when they are certainly true. That being said, appear…
Watch from 36:00 for about the next 5 minutes (I actually recommend watching every bit of the entire series because it's a great one). It relates directly to what you're saying.
It's funny because with all of these trivial issues I keep managing to screw it up and wasting perfect opportunities, yet time and time again He has bailed me out of my mistakes.
I know exactly what you are experiencing. I completely understand the frustration. The only thing I can really say is that you do not know why God has you in that spot, and you should actually try to take comfort in the fact that God decides which c…
I can definitely relate with you on this. I've attended the same small church my whole life and watched it grow, but my biggest thing against them is that they just don't seem to care. When I go to other churches where I see the youth (which is my a…
I feel like it requires such a deep level of faith to truly see things this way. For me, I feel like I know that I should have this mindset, yet I do not feel it. And maybe it's the pride, because that has certainly been an issue for me.
I was just gonna post a thread on this!!
What really confuses me is Luke 2:52- "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." The entire verse gets me, especially the last part- how did Jesus grow in favor with God if …
When I was younger my Sunday school teacher made that an on-going homework every week. She would ask us what we did to keep it holy. I think it is actually straight-forward. It applies the same today as it did then. The day is for God- keep it that …
So does that mean I shouldn't believe a translation of Genesis 20:13 where Abraham says "the gods cause me...?"

This is why I ask; I've never even seen this before anywhere e…
